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 ?
