From an article by Ed Hardy, Editor-in-Chief, Bighthand.com - September 8th, 2003
In Japan, Sony has just announced a small device that can record TV programs onto a Memory Stick in a format suitable for playing on one of its handhelds. It is called a PEGA-VR100K. It acts somewhat like a VCR. Therefore, the images it records are only 320 by 240 pixels. Still, they can also be played on a regular TV. At the highest image quality level, a 1 GB Memory Stick can hold a bit over four hours of video. At the lowest quality, even a 128 MB Memory Stick can hold over two hours of video.
