Hitachi to Offer HDTVs with Removable Hard Drives

Hitachi has just announced they're going to offer TVs with removable hard drives. Is it me or is that one of the greatest announcements ever? According to the press release:

TOKYO, March 20 - Japan's Hitachi Ltd. said on Tuesday it plans to sell the world's first high-definition TVs with removable hard drives.

Users can expand high-definition recording capacity with the new hard drives and Hitachi hopes the feature will boost sales and keep steep price falls at bay, executives said.

Hitachi has promised to bring its flat TV business into the black in the January-March quarter.

Japan's biggest electronics conglomerate will equip plasma TVs and liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs with 250-gigabyte internal hard drives and removable 80-GB or 160-GB drives starting on April 20 in Japan.

We don't have anymore details yet but we'll keep you posted. Hopefully we'll also see some other manufacturers offer TVs with removable hard drives in the near future.
