SONICblue, the digital media electronics company, and Intel, the global chip maker, have announced a joint venture to develop the ReplayTV Portable Video Player (PVP), essentially a PDA that will allow users to watch time-shifted television programs transferred from their SONICblue ReplayTV, as well as play video, audio and photos transferred from a PC.
Intel is to provide the processors and advanced video codecs as well as a reference implementation of a PVP device. SONICblue will create the actual final product and market it.
SONICblue's PVP will house a large capacity hard drive and support multiple audio and video formats, including native ReplayTV files, so recorded television content can be transferred directly from ReplayTV set-top boxes for portable enjoyment. The SONICblue ReplayTV PVP will also connect to a PC so that users can transfer and play personal, MP3 and other commercially available multimedia content from their PC. The company hopes that Intel's XScale technology-based processors will enable users to access the device for several hours without recharging the battery.
The SONICblue ReplayTV PVP is slated to be available to the public in 2003. ((Distributed via M2 Communications Ltd - http://www.m2.com))
