Which reminds me-- the other day I was thinking about how the increasing popularity for (and decreasing cost of) LCD TV's should cause a renewed interest and improvement in the design of portable TV's, but for some reason it hasn't yet. Sure, a number of LCD TV's in the 15" - 20" range have a carrying handle attached to the back, but they still aren't really designed to be portable, especially with the easily damaged LCD screen left exposed. I mean, c'mon, how about an integrated screen cover that pivots on a hinge and turns into a sturdy adjustable stand? Or a TV with a wrap-around "roll-top" cover? Or a sliding clamshell that can fold back around the set? I think there are *lots* of possibilities for an attractive yet functional portable TV that are just waiting to happen.
