PVR on the go - record your life 8 hours at a time
13th Nov 2006, 21:03 GMT
Filed under: Mobile When I began writing for PVR Wire a few months ago, a friend of mine said, "wouldn't it be great if PVRs weren't just for your TV, but you could use them to record everything you see during the day and then play it back later?" Theoretically you would never have to ask associates for a business card, because you could just transcribe their name and phone number later in the day. Of course, I think it would probably take all day to review the tape, and I dismissed this as another of my friend's silly ideas. Well, it turns out he's not the only one with silly ideas. A company called ActionDVR has come up with a system that lets you carry a portable recording station with you all day. The setup consists of a small camera and microphone that you can clip to your hat or wherever else you'd like it, and a 1.5-pound recorder that attaches to your belt or slips into your bag. You can record up to 8 hours of high quality MPEG-4 video. The $1095 device is targeted at hunters, fishers, and other outdoor sporting-types right now. It's also available for police or military use. But if it catches on, maybe personal video recorders will one day replace the need for business cards, or even for paying attention to conversations.
