CES FAVORITE GADETS #13
Sandisk demonstrated a new pocket-sized gadget to promote USBTV, a new industry-wide initiative to help cover the 'last ten feet' of content portability. Downloading videos has been promoted to consumers, but most people still prefer to watch on television. There are wireless sharing products coming, but many will prefer the Sandisk approach of downloading onto a flash drive and then plugging the drive into the television itself. One advantage will be the simplicity of this solution since no configuring of a wireless network will be necessary. According to Sandisk, the devices will be able to playback content on virtually any television without the need to for any changes to the television set. LG, Mitsubishi and Pioneer are already incorportating USBTV ports on their sets.
