Sony met en vente une télévision extra-plate portable avec écran de 12.1 pouces.
Le modèle LF-X1 se distingue de ses prédecesseurs par la connection Ethernet, et l'encodage/décodage MPEG-4, ce qui autoriserait, d'apres les dévelppeurs, le visionnement de télévision par canal numérique où que l'on soit situé, indépendamment de l'endroit.

Sony Unveils New Airboard Model LCD TV
January 23, 2004 (SANTA CLARA, Calif.) -- Sony Corp unveiled the newest Airboard model "LF-X1," an LCD television set with network communication capability featuring what it described as a "location-free" concept with Ethernet connection and MPEG-4 codec functions.
The LF-X1 consists of a 12.1-inch LCD television and a base station, and it is slated to go on sale as of March 12. While Sony has an open-priced tag on the new Airboard product, it is likely to be priced at around 148,000 yen at shops.
Sony's LF-X1 was on display for reference at the "2004 International CES," which ended on January 11, as the fourth-generation product in the Airboard series.
Distinguishing itself from its predecessors by such capabilities as Ethernet access and MPEG-4 codec, the LF-X1 enables televiewing "ultimately independent of location," according to Sony's Airboard development project chief.
The older generations of the series enable watching television anywhere in a house by wireless LAN capability, but LF-X1 lets its owners watch television even on trips away from home.
Being connected to a DVD recorder or other media, LF-X1 enables watching not only broadcasts on the air but also DVD streaming and recorded broadcasts. Depending on the machines connected to the base station, LF-X1 lets its owners view a variety of content at a distance. At the CES exhibition site, Sony displayed images being broadcast by video camera stationed in Osaka, Japan, and held a demo show to view DVD images stored at home on a trip.
At the show, an LF-X1 base station was connected to a game console and a "PSX" DVD recorder with built-in HDD.
"The market situation for LF-X1 is far better than it was when the first Airboard was launched, thanks to favorable factors such as explosive sales of DVD recorders with built-in HDD," a Sony official said.
Though not revealing the shipment volume of older generations of Airboard products, Sony apparently expects sales of the LF-X1 to surpass the sales of its predecessors.
Sony believes that the new LF-X1 has solved problems of digital rights management technology and security capability in transmission of content through a network by one-to-one device authentication between a base station and an LCD television and encryption of data transmission. _________________ Michael_Voyageur
