Sony Develops TV-Tuner Chips For Mobile Devices. Sony Japan has announced that it has developed some of the smallest TV tuners designed for PDAs and other mobile devices. When integrated with a mobile device the user would be able to receive and view broadcast television. These modules are so small that Sony engineers gave its volumes in ml which is reasonable if you think of the size of unit. There are two different models. The first and smallest chip ? BTF-ZJ401 has just a 1.5 ml volume (25x20x3mm, 3.5g). That is roughly 1/25th the size of chips on the market today. The second, BTF-ZJ411 is a bit bigger at 2.5ml (40x22.5x2.8mm, 4g). The main difference between two modules is the ability of BTF-ZJ411 to extract stereo sound from the radio signal. [Mobilog] 10:09:52 AM    comment []

Goodbye, Hilary Blaming a desire to spend time with her family, the RIAA's Hillary Rosen stepped down. There are rumors she felt the organization was too unbending, but her actions were consistently unyielding and aggressive. Good riddance. Bet she ends up lobbying for cigarette companies or something equally noble. [RatcliffeBlog: Business, Technology & Investing] This article from Shirky is also interesting. 5:53:31 AM    comment []
