I've been reading a lot recently about Sony's plans for "location free TV". Basically the jist is you will have your lightweight portable 12inch screen and be able to receive wireless high stream broadband media content delivered to the device all across the country you abide in, that means being able to watch episodes of Gundam while visiting your Auntie in Hokkaido or the simple joy of a quick bit of wireless news while in the toilet.

On portable media, recently Nokia have announced their contender into the world of "portable media devices", an all in one games playing, PDF displaying, movie viewing, music playing single unit. It's interesting to see a new emerging market from the popularity of the PSP's extra features - How many people do you know who say "I didn't get the PSP for games..." and go on to explain its the portable media aspect that hooks them.

About time too, we were promised devices like these 16 years ago in Mondo2000 and isn't it about time we have competitors to Apple's culture of bland consumerism ?
