LocationFree Television In Tokyo

Jonny Marx writes "A hands-on review from Tokyo suggests that LoctionFree Television works at long last. There are also photos of it in action, streaming pre-recorded TV over the net to a mobile PSP." From the article: "Sony's previous LocationFree TV products required the use of a dedicated portable terminal -- essentially a portable LCD TV with Wi-Fi connection -- that not only added to the cost of the system but could also be a hassle to carry around, especially for people who already travel with a laptop PC. Recognizing this, or perhaps responding to competition from two U.S. start-ups offering similar products, the latest iteration of the technology, the LF-PK1, isn't so fussy and will stream to laptop PCs running Sony's LocationFree Player or to a PlayStation Portable (PSP) running firmware version 2.5 (a free upgrade to this version is available via the PSP's network update function)."

    It's basically msft media center being used on a wireless network? I could have sworn this is already being done by http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/ont hego/default.mspx microsoft with the media center extenders (including the xbox 360) only you don't have to pay 300 bucks for a glorified external tv tuner card. *yawn*
