DirecTV to add portability
According to this story from Reuters, DirecTV announced that they are going portable. DTV will work with "an array of partners" to provide devices that can store DTV's video content.
I've been hoping that DTV would make this move ever since Dish Network launched its Pocket Dish (a portable video player that can download content from a Dish box) product earlier this year.
The best news is that DTV will show off some of these devices at CES 2006 in January. So hopefully, I will have one of these devices in my hands my the middle of next year.
And to think I was actually considering a video iPod! What was I thinking?
