Taking tips from the likes of custom systems like the one Android Community showed off in-car last month, RCA seems to have created a stereo system that uses an Android tablet as its brain. While this system hasn’t been formally announced by RCA as such, it does appear to be on store shelves in some […]
Though RCA has slipped from electronics giant to maker of niche products, it’s just announced an intriguing music streaming system that is rumored to cost $178 at Walmart, according to Android Police. The Internet Music System (has RCA fired its branding department?) features a removable Android tablet of as-yet unknown size that plays music via Bluetooth to the docking amp and speakers. Music sources can be Google Play Music and apps like Spotify, as well as CDs via a player and yes, FM radio. As a topper , it’ll also stream video from the likes of Netflix and YouTube to your TV via an HDMI cable. At the above price, it might be just the device for those tired of explaining for the eighth time how to play a YouTube song through the home theater system. To see how it works, check the video after the break.

I am sure that pretty much anyone you may own an amazing Audio System at home that lack any Wireless capabilities. Unfortunately there are not many solution on the market that will not cost you an arm or a leg. However today Princeton came with a nice little solution with the PTM-BTR1. There isn’t anything fancy about this little Black box and we could even reproach Princeton’s choice when it comes to the lack of optical out on these PTM-BTR1, But at 2,980 Yen the PTM-BTR1 being …

RCA has done away with all that hassle with its new SoundFlow alarm clock that simply requires you to place your handset on top for a litte more oomph in the sound department. More »
RCA’s new Mobile TV Tablet appeared in the flesh here at Pepcom at CES 2013. The 8-inch tablet’s a little weighty, but packs a combination DTV and Dyle TV tuner — an industry first — so we’ll forgive it a little. There’s an 8-inch IPS touchscreen, which, while suitably bright, was coated in fingerprints. It’s not the prettiest tablet we’ve seen but it’s something you’ll have to forgive for all that wireless functionality paired with Android 4.0. There’s also 8GB of built-in storage with microSD expansion and while those TV functions work without data, in the thick signal mess of tonight’s event we couldn’t get the Dyle app running. Take our word for it, it did work prior to filming our hands-on and we were able to watch live TV and hop around channels with ease. The device will arrive in stores this April, priced at $299.

Roku may have lots of streaming content as is, but that doesn’t always compare with what’s on broadcast television. Voxx Accessories (formerly Audiovox) sees this problem too, but rather than just pointing it out idly (like us!), the accessory maker claims it has a fix. That solution includes an integrated digital antenna, creating a solution that pulls in broadcast TV (read: “over-the-air local HD broadcasts”), plus the features of Roku’s Streaming Stick. We won’t see the fruition of those efforts until late 2013, and when it does arrive, it’ll come in collaboration with RCA and Terk (as seen in the first two product images above). The only bad thing we can find about this mashup of old school OTA and the latest in IPTV? That it’s not here yet.

Seeing how many cable companies have made it possible to stream video content onto tablets, it’s not surprising to see a company known for manufacturing TVs to dip into the tablet market with their own Android / TV hybrid device to be shown at CES. And that’s exactly what RCA is doing with its newly-announced RCA Mobile TV tablet.
The RCA Mobile TV tablet is a combination Android tablet and portable TV as not only will you be able to enjoy the Android OS on it, but will also be able to watch television on it with its over-the-air tuner and the Dyle mobile TV tuner.
The device will feature an 8-inch IPS display at 1024 x 768, 1GHz Cortex A5 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and a microSD slot. It’ll also feature HDMI, microUSB, GPS, front and rear-facing cameras and will weigh 1.4 pounds. Don’t think you can watch TV on it all day as the RCA Mobile TV tablet will only hold 4 hours to TV-watching juice, or up to 10 hours of web browsing if you decide to use it as an actual tablet.
