This looks interesting....
Why do we call it a Pocket TV?
The device is so small that it fits in your pocket and you can conveniently take it anywhere you go. That’s important because you can carry your Pocket TV with you anywhere, even when you travel abroad. And when you get to your destination, hotel room or office you can easily plug it into any monitor or TV and you will get access to all your information, games, TV streaming channels, work documents and your entire digital life. You’ll have all the benefits that you get from carrying your smartphone but with the ability to display it on a much bigger screen. Imagine walking into a meeting and doing a presentation without a laptop. All you need to do is plug the Pocket TV into the projector and your presentation can be played from the cloud (like a Dropbox account) or locally from the SD Card.
What can it be used for?
Streaming video: Imagine being able to watch YouTube on your TV rather than on a small computer screen. Or even your other video subscriptions such as Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Video Services. You can now do that right on your home theater system instead of your tablet or phone. Oh and it’s all displayed in HD with up to 1080p resolution.
Listen to music: The Pocket TV even acts as a streaming device for music so you can play all of the content that’s on your computer or home network drive (NAS). That means you access not only your downloaded music but also your movies, TV shows and even your holiday pictures right on your home entertainment system.
Gaming: Why wait for Angry Birds to come to Xbox360 or PS3 when you can play it on your Pocket TV? Or how about racing and strategy games? Wouldn’t they look better on your TV than on your phone?
Social Media: For all you social media addicts who can’t go 15 minutes without checking your Facebook and Twitter feeds we wouldn’t deprive you of that. Trust us, we’re just as hooked as you are!
News: Get CNN and BBC on demand. The story you want, when you want it, right on your big screen TV. For those who are less addicted to news you can access all your feeds with Google Currents, Pulse, Flipboard and similar apps.
Work: Edit documents, read PDFs, review PowerPoint, send and receive emails and even do video conferences.
Google Maps: Tired of squinting at your screen trying to find road directions? Yes we know you won’t be able to take your TV with you on the road, but the satellite imaging is insane on a 50-inch plasma!
Web Browsing: And of course you can to that too. Use Dolphin browser, Opera, or even Chrome and sync it with your laptop's browser.
Thousands more apps: The Google Play store is full of apps for all types of users and most of them work on the Pocket TV. Dropbox, Evernote, IMDB, ESPN… The list is endless. Go exploring and let us know what you like. If there’s a specific function you would like us to develop to better use a popular app let us know and we can work on it.
