Sharp Corp. today announced five new models of its AQUOS HD recorders, including a model with a 1,000GB (1TB) hard drive. Three of the new models come with a built-in high-speed infrared system that allows the fast transfer of photographs from mobile phones and digital cameras to be displayed on large-screen AQUOS LCD TVs. The high-definition recorders also allow users to simultaneously record two programs in full-spec HD from an AQUOS LCD TV. All models also have a quick activation function that allows users to activate a recorder from the standby mode in only .08 seconds, which Sharp claims is an industry first. ComputerWorld has more.
