Casio, como principal fabricante de estos objetos peculiares lanzó su Casio TV-400, un pequeño televisor portátil del tamaño de una GameBoy que permitía ver la televisión en una pantalla diminuta. Ahora, gracias a Raspberry Pi, un usuario de Imgur ha conseguido revivir este dispositivo haciéndolo totalmente funcional.

In the late 1980s, when I was a gadget-savvy kid, my mother bought me a pocket TV as a joint Christmas and birthday present. The TV’s image clarity was questionable, its sound tinny, and its aerial so long that I often poked myself and others in the eye while trying to find a signal. Despite all this, it was one of the coolest, most futuristic things I’d ever seen, and I treasured it. But, as most tech of its day, the pocket TV no longer needed: I can watch TV in high definition on my phone — a device half the size, with a screen thrice as large, and no insatiable hunger for AA batteries.
