Toshiba’s Gigabeat V81 portable TV packs 8GB of internal memory (double the previous version) and a 3.5-inch screen, beating yesterday’s mini Bravia on both counts. But since it’s also only for 1seg digital broadcasts, you won’t get much use for it outside Japan.

The V81 can fit about 40 hours of recorded Television on its internal memory, and if that’s not enough you can boost it with an SD card. The 3.5-inch display has a 320 x 240-pixel resolution, and the battery gives you about 10 hours of broadcast viewing, or 13 hours of playback video viewing. It’s also WMA, WMV and MP3 compatible, measures just 4.5 x 3.0 x 0.6 inches, and is available February 15 in Japan for ¥34,000 ($330) [AV Watch and Akihabaranews]
