Nosing in to Avermedia TVs

Computex 2006 A straggler reports

AVERMEDIA HAD TWO toys I found interesting at Computex, a TV and a SDIO card that turns your PDA into a TV. Neither was earth-shattering, but both fill a solid niche, and are worth a look.

The AverTV Porta3 is what the MS Origami boxes should be, thin, light and functional.

One thing this is not is a PC, it is strictly a video display. It takes almost all types of analogue and digital TV, and has video in. The screen is 7 inches, and doesn't look all that bad in real life. A solid idea that looks to be well executed.

alt='avertv_porta3a' To continue the MS cheap shot and TV theme, is a SDIO DBV-H card. This makes your Wince PDA useful again as a TV. There isn't really much to it, it's simply small and puts TV on a PDA. If you have a long commute on public transport, you can catch all the scintillating morning TV you had been missing up to that point. Yay, progress! µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
