    Toshiba Gigabeat V81: More Screen, More Memory, More of the Same

    The new Toshiba's Gigabeat V81 portable digital TV has a 320 x 240-pixel 3.5-inch screen, fitting 40 hours of recorded TV into its internal 8GB memory, which is double the previous version, expandable with an SD card. They claim 10 hours of broadcast viewing, and 13 hours of playback video viewing with WMA, WMV and MP3 compatibility. Too bad the TV reception only works in Japan, where it will be out for $330 this month. [AV Watch and Akihabaranews]
