Pixela has announced the release in Japan of some sort of H.264 compatible TV in the shape of a PDA that allows you to watch Digital TV OTG (or HDTV in some cases). But that’s not all, because you’ll also be able to listen to FM radio, the device has a 2.17″ screen and it’s 5.1 compatible. It measures 136.5x55x25.5mm.

From Engadget:
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have any storage capabilities, so you’re limited to viewing what you can receive in real-time. And, somehow, we’re not quite sure you’ll really be wowed by digital TV when you’re watching it on a 2.17-inch display.

Xmultiple announcing a “new breed” of digital audio players created by the natural union of their FlashPoint thumb drive with an MP3 player. Their new SharePlayer not only pumps out compressed audio but also features Xmultiple’s Sharing-On-The-Go firmware allowing you to download files directly from another USB MP3 player by simply “attaching the devices and pressing a button” — no need for a PC in the middle or electrical outletAnd that good SOTG works just as well for downloading photographs or data from your USB equipped digicam or cellphone. We’re not clear if they still require data to be stored in the “load” directory for all this “computerless” download lovin’ but there’s no denying SOTG’s (aka, USB On-The-Go) potential convenience. Available in 512MB and 1/2/4GB capacities sometime early next year in fabulous white, black, and gray models.

JVC announced their geeked-out UX-HD1-M shelf system with a 4.3-inch color LCD and 2 x 20 watt speakers. The 40GB internal drive allows you to rip CDs into PCM/ATRAC/MP3 formats, while CDDB lookups over the included Ethernet ensures the files are properly tagged. In fact, the UX-HD1-M allows you to hit the Sony (and JVC Victor co-sponsored) ANYMUSIC service direct so our Japanese brethren can purchase and download music straight to the disk. And with DLNA support, you can even stream your MP3s off your PC’s disk. They even throw in USB on the front for convenient connection to your like-equipped DAP. Nice. Oh, and ‘cause it’s Japan you get MiniDisc to bridge the technology gap. No pricing available yet but it’ll drop in Japan next month.
