Televisions have gotten progressively smaller in recent decades, from massive box-shaped contraptions down to tablet-sized ones, and now Swedish company InnSpire is making television upgrades even more compact with the introduction of the InnCable, essentially a smart TV cable.

The InnCable is an Ethernet cable on the outside, and an Android set-top box on the inside. This device is equipped with an Ethernet jack on one end and an HDMI connection on the other, with an included WiFi module making it possible for it to convert old-school television sets into smart TVs.

This compact smart TV cable is aimed squarely at the hospitality industry, as it promises hotels the ability to upgrade their televisions to better satisfy the needs of tech-savvy guests, and with minimal hassle.
