Sony Play TV for PS3 and PSP
Sony very kindly emailed me the other day to suggest I might like to purchase Play TV for the princely sum of £69. Actually this isn’t a bad price for a “Freeview” (DVB-T) dual tuner box. There are some nice features, such as a great EPG, and record/trick-play, but what really caught my eyes was the PSP link.
With some further digging it appears Sony made much of this PS3 to PSP transfer feature pre-launch, then pulled it, then re-instated it. For a lot of people, it makes perfect sense to be able to watch shows you have recorded on the move, particularly given the multimedia heritage of the devices.
Well I’ll let you know if I decide to go for it, but right now I’ve got to figure out if I can fit a good aerial to my house to even pick up the Freeview signal – certainly in the UK, DVB-T has been beset with problems around the quality of signal, meaning you need an uber-aerial… not something that is particularly attractive around the house!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
