Sony releases pocket-sized TV in Japan

by PJ Hruschak on Mar 19, 2007 at 11:46 AM

Sony XDV-100 pocket TV and radio tuner Measuring 98.3 x 61 x 15.1 mm and weighing only 110 g, Sony’s XDV-100 is an AM/FM radio and TV tuner combo with a 2.8 in. QCGA color screen. From the photos it looks like it includes earbuds and a docking station (likely to charge an internal battery, but I’m guessing), features a thumb scroll wheel for menu and maybe station control and cel phone style signal bars to indicate channel signal strength. No word on the price but it won’t much matter to us US uers since uses the 1SEG standard, making it useful only in Japan.
