Put TV into your Pocket PC : SDIO TV card coming March 2006
January 12, 2006 [Pocket PC] | By Edward J. R.

To take full advantage of broad range of accessories for Windows Mobile devices, one really needs to have full size SD card slot and not that memory-only (usually) mini-SD slot... and here comes yet another proof, that sometimes it is worth not to give up on Pocket PC devices with SD card slots: a full TV tuner in form of a SD card! It works only in Pocket PC devices and not in MS Smartphone phones.

This TV tuner however is only an analog one (i.e. NTSC and PAL) but in several countries analog terrestrial TV has been already phased out for the sake of digital one (for example: DVB-T - some new TV sets don't even support analog anymore but only DVB-T)...

Here are some images of this SDIO TV card:
