Segnity pocket TV mouths off

While most TVs love to spend time with their owners, the Segnity pocket TV from E-Revolution does otherwise, mouthing off to you each time you use it. While the screen isn’t much to shout about (2.7″ QVGA display), it receives signals over the popular 1Seg function in Japan and comes with a switch that enables it to ‘converse’ with you. These ‘conversations’ range from the polite to extremely sarcastic, depending on how you operate the controls. Imagine turning up the volume in one mode to have a cartoon-like voice say, “Noisy, aren’t you?”. What about adjusting the screen brightness, only to be greeted by “Not bright enough for you, eh?”. This $110 device is powered by a quartet of AAA batteries that lasts for approximately 3 hours. Sounds like the pesky Sorting Hat from Harry Potter.
