RoverTv Introduces First Hard-Drive-Free, Pocket Size Media
Doghouse Electronics has introduced RoverTv, a portable media recorder and player that records directly from TV without a computer. "RoverTv establishes a new category of handheld TV recorders and players," said RoverTv designer Jim Howard. "We built RoverTv hard-drive-free to streamline it and make it durable. Hard drives are chunky and fragile - they were never made to withstand the day to day handling that's a normal part of enjoying a portable media device," said Howard, noting that RoverTv's Flash drive and SD technology provide unlimited external memory. Built-in software allows easy transfer of video/music content to and from a Mac or PC.

Podcasting comedian Ricky Gervais is claiming to have beaten his own his own record for the most downloaded podcast ever. Earlier in the year, his podcast landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records with an average of 261,670 downloads per episode. But people didn't stop downloading the show once he got the record. So the number got bigger. According to Gervais, the total rose to 541,329 by the time the first series of The Ricky Gervais Show ended in February.
