By: Aseem Gaurav on September 1, 2012


German-based company Elgato, well known for its range of digital television tuners, has unveiled a new version of its EyeTV Mobile product for the iPhone and iPad at Germany's IFA 2012 tradeshow.

EyeTV Mobile is remarkable in the sense that it connects to your iPad (2nd, 3rd generation and iPhone 4S) and receives television signals directly from its telescopic aerial. The new EyeTV Mobile is just half the size of any other TV tuner for the dock connector, due to its highly efficient chip technology. The device can be used with a variety of aerials to get the best possible reception both at home and on the move. The dongle will be available in September at a price of roughly $143 through Elgato's online shop and resellers.

Moreover, if you want the same facility on your Android handset, you can pick up the EyeTV Micro in September for roughly $87. The device will easily connect to the Micro USB port in any smartphone or tablet. You can even connect it to a desktop PC using the included USB adapter cable, and Mac or PC software. Remember, your Android device need to have a Dual Core Processor and should be running on Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) version.

During the tradeshow, the company also announced Game Capture HD, a new product that allows you to record and share PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 gameplay using a Mac or PC. The recorded videos can then be played back and shared from your PC. The device will cost users roughly $286.
