Technology is quickly changing, faster than ever in the past millennium. New models of electronic gadgets with better applications and easier usage are being introduced to the market almost everyday. Cellular phones, home appliances, portable TVs - they all change rapidly.
With the fast-paced industry, consumers are also trying to catch up with the flow by dumping their old gadgets for the new ones. The act may be expensive and not practical at all, being left behind with the trend is like being left ignorant of the latest way of survival in this cutthroat world. Even the recent financial problem did not stop the public from buying what they deeded necessity in the society. Even the manufacturing giants were not stifled by the recession from producing newer trademarks and electronic staples. Everything comes with a price and change tops the list.
Portable TVs are not new in the innovation era. They are thought to be the innovation of regular home television sets but that does not stop there. The innovation still can evolve, and that is what happening here. The basic features of portable TVs just a few years ago that are said to be edgy are waterproof capability and compact designs. Now the trend works higher. Many brands have Internet access capabilities by using Wi-Fi. Some already have music players containing thousands of songs. The battery life has also improved. High-end brands now can give you up to 24 hours of battery-life. That is a whole day of dabbling on the screen. Connectivity is proven essential in the game. Thumb drive portals, different jack sizes and even CD slots are now available so the entertainment with portable TVs is endless.
The world is getting smaller and smaller, and so is its television. The Casio EV-570 portable handheld TV is diminution to the extreme. Storming the market with its 2.5-inch screen, this lilliputian monitor can be mistaken for an old fashioned, oversize mobile phone. It is an item perfect for those who want to be kept abreast of the latest in sports, politics, and entertainment whenever, and, most especially, wherever. Season finales of favorite reality shows can now be watched in comfort, not just of the bedroom, but also of the bathroom.
Reasonably priced for its size and functions, EV-570 is great companion for freelancers who are mobile all time, floor traders who monitor stock price behavior by the minute, and even for young teens who make camping a regular part of the weekend either with family or friends. It is powered by triple A batteries, which lasts for a little over two hours with continuous use, and it is best to keep a stash of A's at home and in the car.
When it comes to video and audio output, this portable handheld TV will not shortchange those who will give it a shot. For such a reduced screen size to show off sharp picture quality and clear, crisp sound are nothing short of remarkable. Subtitles of a foreign movie are still readable, given a display no bigger than a regular 3M note pad. Truly, this stroke of genius is a tiny spark of an innovation, certain to make a big explosion in the market.
