Will Upcoming PocketDish Models Allow Transfer of HD Content?

[David Dietzel]

The current line of PocketDish units are being heavily discounted, presumably to clear out inventory and make way for new models likely to arrive in the Fall.

Wifi is a rumored new feature.

However, with more and more channels in HD I'm hopeful the new models will allow transfer of at least downrezzed HD content (720p would be nice, but the screens on the such small portable devices probably wouldn't support HD viewing).

Has anyone heard rumors from Dish or Archos if the upcoming new models will allow HD content transfer of some sort?

I doubt it, unless dish writes software to convert the HD to SD before transferring, otherwise the files are just to big

I was told at CES in January that the next generation of the PocketDish would allow for HD transfer, however no one was saying anything other then that Charlie should not have mentioned the new PocketDISHes should have Wifi when they come out durring his speach.
