LocationFree TV and P990i
Sony Ericsson will ship its LocationFree software with the P990i smartphone, says The Register. LocationFree base stations allow TVs and movie players to broadcast to mobile phones, Sony's PSP gaming handheld, and nearby Macs and PCs with Internet access. The new bundle will see software pre-loaded onto the P990i's MemoryStick. If you've already bought the phone, you can download LocationFree from the Sony Ericsson support Website. The move is strongly reminiscent of Sling Media's decision to provide its SlingPlayer software on Symbian-based platforms. Like a LocationFree base station, the Slingbox sends video to Internet-capable devices.
