The latest news from the Consumer Electronics Show 2007 in Las Vegas

Sandisk have used CES as an excuse to launch a whole host of new technology, the most exciting of which was this new flash DVD player that will bring digital downloading of video to a broad spectrum of new consumers who prefer viewing on their TV sets rather than on a PC screen

USBTV is an industry-wide initiative that’ll hopefully make transferring DVD content from PC to TV much easier. Sandisk have created the first DVD flash drive, which plugs into a PC by USB and into a television by a new USBTV interface.

Sandisk are working with TV manufacturers including LG, Mitsubishi and Pioneer to encourage the inclusion of these USBTV ports on new televisions. Until then, an adaptor cradle will allow you to connect USBTV devices into regular A/V ports instead. USBTV players are expected to be available in Spring 2007. More info at USBTV.org Read more
