If the limitations of the digital TV system outlined in the article are even partially correct, why is Sony trying to launch this "expensive" single purpose unit into such a potentially crowded segment.]]>Mar 14th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/sony-announces-xdv-100-portable-1seg-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/sony-announces-xdv-100-portable-1seg-tv/
Er, why would the segment be "crowded" if the technology is limited?

Constant Sony-bashing does cause you guys to lose touch with reality, don't it?]]>Mar 14th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/sony-announces-xdv-100-portable-1seg-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/sony-announces-xdv-100-portable-1seg-tv/
Er, the technology isn't limited this piece of equipment is, as noted in the article. Did Sony do any testing? Did they note this limitation? If not, why not? If they did find it, why not try to fix it?

Secondly, if the digitial TV portion of this device doesn't work as advertised, then well it becomes just another PVP (personal video player) or DAP (digital music player). In that arena, there is a great deal of competition for Apple, Creative, MS (Zune), SanDisk, the PDA manufactures and the smart phone companies.

Looking to charge >$300 for a device whose main advantage (digital TV) is of very limited use is just a bad decision. I'm not a Sony basher, as I own many Sony products, DV camera, 3 TV's an old cassette Walkman etc. Regardless, if Sony doesn't change both is strategy and execution here pretty soon I think they will find themselves in a heap of financial trouble. Just my thougths...]]>Mar 15th 2007 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/sony-announces-xdv-100-portable-1seg-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/sony-announces-xdv-100-portable-1seg-tv/
You suggested the technology may be limited, not me:
