The Infinitec Pocket TV allows consumers to transform their HDTVs into smart TVs for under $200. By connecting a small microcomputer (similar in size to a USB dongle), users can turn their HDTV into a giant screen computer with access to the Google Play Store.
The device outputs 1080p resolution through a HDMI 1.3 connection, reports Digital Trends, and runs on Android 4.0. The device also includes “a MicroSD port that will accommodate any MiscroSD card up to 32GB in size” and “comes with 4GB of internal memory.”
Customers can choose to purchase either a standard remote or an Air Remote. The standard remote uses directional pad navigation, while the Air Remote uses a gyroscopic sensor that allows users to control their televisions with gestures. The Air Remote controls an on screen mouse cursor and includes a QWERTY keyboard.
Smartphone users can control the device using the Google Remote TV app. Infinitec plans to release its own mobile application soon.
Infinitec confirms that Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Video, Facebook, Twitter, Flipboard, Google Maps and Pulse applications, among others, all work with the device.
Infinitec plans to release Pocket TV by early October for $190. Interested customers can pre-order the device on Kickstarter for $110 for the standard remote and $135 for the Air Remote.
