Sony's Memory Stick TV Tuner at CeBit

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hardware-to-lust-after dept.

ChowderGiggler writes "It seems like simply a picture, but there is a page at PocketPCMinds.com which shows a prototype Sony Memory Stick TV Tuner. This really has some cool applications especially if it gets ported to the Memory Stick Duo which is used in Smartphones like the Sony-Ericsson P800."

    But: Bad news

  2. This was just a mock up prototype by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    This was just a mock up prototype shown at CeBit and not an actual working device. It is also shown in the MS Duo format, but sony has been showing off these kind of memory stick mock ups for years. While it was a non working model, sony has developed the chips in a size that would make this feasible, only problem is battery draw. There arw more specs on the device here.

    Sorry to disappoint.

  4. Hold on... which Sony is this from ? by bigmouth_strikes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is this from the bad-and-ugly-drm-mpaa-riaa-member Sony that we all hate or is it from cool-and-high-tech-gadgets Sony ?

    I'm boycotting one of them while my home is filled with stuff from the other. It's a shame they have the same name and logo, it would be so much easier to distinguish them!
