Tivo is to release an update in February which will allow users to transfer their recorded shows and movies to handheld devices such as the video iPod and Sony PSP. Support will also allow transfer to other PCs.
The timing of this release in February ’06 is interesting because Sony’s PS3 is expected to start shipping next Spring (in Japan initially), and this is also expected to have Tivo like functionality with support for mobile video players, expeciallly the PSP.
