Aids for Daily Living at Easy Comforts

Do you remember when having a pocket TV was cool? Okay, so maybe it wasn’t ever that cool, but things have come a long way since those black and white beasts you used to watch the game on when you were at work.

A 2 1/2″ screen isn’t really anything to shout about – the new iPod videos have this, and the Microsoft Zune has an even bigger screen at almost the same price. The thing is, with those gadgets they have a lot of other stuff that they need to allocate space – and budget – to, in a much smaller unit.

The Bell and Howell Pocket TV is bigger than your standard iPod by a long way – it’s 7×4x1″, but this isn’t as big a drawback as you might think. This allows them to make a simple, high quality product that gives you perfect picture and sound quality, from any angle!

The speaker is loud enough to entertain a room, and it features VHF/UHF frequency range, earphone jack, AV input, menu display, mute screen and DC power supply. So no memory then, but as I said if you want that go buy a Zune. What this pocket TV is great for is catching a game when you’re away from a TV. The screen is big enough to allow a buddy or two to watch, and you can pick up signal just about anywhere.

There’s no cheaper gadget you can buy that will let you watch live TV anywhere you go. The Bell & Howell Pocket TV runs on only 4 AAA batteries, and these last long enough to watch more than just a football game and some ads. This little toy makes an awesome stocking stuffer for your man. It’s the perfect accessory for any sports fan.
