The Web site Android Guys reported late last week that Motorola is building a TV set top box for Japanese telephone and broadband service provider KDDI. The new device is expected to be ready in time for the Japan’s largest electronics show, CEATEC, which will be held in October.

The set top box called “au Box” will allow users to take their music and video content with them on the go. The box lets users play or rip a CD and either store the music or transfer it to a mobile handset or portable media player via a USB cable, Android Guys reported. The music files can then be played by the device through the integrated stereo speakers.

The set-top box also allows users to upload video to the device and then transfer it to a mobile device. And the device also plays DVDs.
