Sony Brings Net-Based-TV-to-PSP Service to Europe Via LocationFree TV |
Ó
Next
month marks the launch of LocationFreeTV service in the UK, Germany,
France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. This will allow PSP users to
receive television programs transmitted from the home and across the
web. You can now play your own stored media streamed over a network
from a LocationFree base station to anywhere in the world where you
have network access.The LPTV support is included in the recently announced PSP 2.70 firmware. The upgrade, which is scheduled to be posted on the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe website on May 25, also adds podcast and RSS support, and the ability to handle AAC and WMA music files.
Sony's LF-PK1, the unit which streams TV, DVD and other content from AV devices out onto the Web will be made available to consumers in Europe. The unit comes with software for the PSP and PCs. Mac users need not feel left behind because Sony's licensed the technology to software developer Kaga to port the code to Mac OS X. The software is also expected to be ported to Windows Mobile and other mobile device operating systems.
Sony announced in January that it will offer a software development kit to allow programmers to create LFTV-compatible applications on a variety of platforms.
The LF-PK1 is already available in the US for $350 (£196/281 Euro), but Sony has yet to announce the official price of the unit in Europe.

lol £200 when i can get ps3 months after this crap is released i think not
Maybe it sells like 3 units.
FIrst :P| that isint so great i would like to see one on those small memory card tv things :P
Not a bad idea but unless your on the same connection or have an amazing up speed this is useless to ppl with less then 300kb up
well guess what the source code is availabile for the unit http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/source_lf.shtm check it out
Unfortunately the link that ?????? posted is broken, here is a werking link for you all. http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/source_lf.shtml I'd pay someone to rent me their own location free signal. Also: This site wont load on my psp anymore, too many pictures....
thats freak expensive. why would you pay $350 for that (more than a psp)? it should be like 50 bucks since u already paid for the psp.
unfortunately, ?????? and soopergooman's link were broken, here is a working link for you all: http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/source_lf.shtml O wait, there are the same? except there's no "l" at the end. :) by EyeS (Unregistered), at Apr 28, 2006 at 06:00PM
The locationfree player sounds soo cool. But the amount it costs does not. If sony bring the price down, more people will obviously get it. Does anyone here even have it???
dont cry ladies, it's over 500 after taxes in Canada but I got a new one off of ebay for 2. Imagine how much you'd have to pay for the ones that come with their own touch screen lcd's... I don't know, watching seinfeld from my digital box while waiting for the bus DT to home sounds pretty cool to me.
im not sure if its true, because ive heard people say it like its a fact but ive never seen any proper proof but isnt the PS3 going to have a locationfree player in it?
this seems like a good purchase, as im gonna need wireless TV routing in my next house to watch tv in all the rooms, with the added bonuse of watching TV on the go, could be the best thing i ever buy :)
i have it and its great
