Smallest portable TV ever; doesn't even have a screen!

Sony has NOT launched this, but it has been seen as a "concept" at CeBIT by BargainPDA.com - a TV tuner that will fit into your favourite PDA as an add-on.

Last year, Sony announced that it had a TV tuner circuit small enough to build into a PDA. That led to speculation that one of the Clie Palm-based handhelds might include a receiver.

This hasn't happened, but BargainPDA.com has spotted a plug-in tuner. As you'd expect, it's a Memory Stick device, and therefore mostly, only of interest to people with Sony devices. But no doubt there are other things which people could use when Sony offers them, like, for example, CF interfaces.
