The Digital Entertainer HD automatically discovers HD movies, TV shows, music files, and personal photos on a home network, across multiple PCs, and organizes these into a single media library displayed on a TV without the need for media server software running on the computer. Using the included remote, consumers can search their entire media library by multiple criteria including title, actor, date, genre or thumbnail images (from photos, album art or DVD covers). A High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port displays video resolution up to 1080p on big-screen TVs and optical digital audio output (TOSLINK) transmits full digital surround sound to the consumers’ digital audio receiver.

“More than half of US broadband users are interested in using a media center PC or media server to record and watch TV from any TV or PC, watch purchased/rented movies on any TV or PC, and listen to digital music on any stereo or PC in the home,” said Joyce Putscher, principal analyst for home networking/digital home research at In-Stat. “HDMI is the leading HD digital interface in the consumer electronics market, and devices such as the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer HD are poised to reap the benefits as consumer media collections grow, demand rises for HD programming, and more users desire to stream their content throughout the home.”

Google OS?

Did the above image shock you? No, this is not a real Google advert! But something similar may well turn into reality. In this sequel to our original GoogleOS blockbuster, we try to clarify our thoughts on what GoogleOS will look like. You'll have to read to the end for the exciting conclusion, but we can hint that Linux creator Linus Torvalds has a starring role to play. Please note that these are not insider rumors, but just some educated guesses ;-)

In our first article we examined 3 GoogleOS scenarios:

It could be a WebOS (a.k.a. virtual desktop), like YouOS
It could be a full-featured Linux distribution, like Ubuntu
It could be a (optionally BIOS based) portable mini Linux distro, with the sole purpose of establishing an internet connection and then firing up Firefox as default browser.

However our conclusion is that the most feasible one is the 3^rd scenario - a mini Linux distro, that users can very easily install and essentially makes Google/Firefox the default Internet services. Now let's get into some detail about that option...

1) Purpose: Cut the Middleman – Windows

2) Strategy: Spread it via internet ads

3) The Name

4) Acquisition? No...

5) Disruptive Offering

Wii + Opera = "Internet Channel" on your TV

clipper's remarks: With the PS3 severely overpriced and seemingly tanking, Nintendo really has a chance to do something special with the Wii. This is such an exciting step towards a mass-market-ready living room box that lets you toggle seamlessly between TV, gaming, and the web.

That said, I'm going to wait for my iTV.

When Wii users download Opera, it will activate the "Internet Channel" on the Wii and allow them to use the game console to browse the Internet on their television. Opera via a comic strip, and Nintendo via a statement, announced that the final version of Opera for Wii will be available in March 2007. That final version, according to Nintendo, will also be free March through June, after which it will cost 500 Wii points (roughly $5) through the Wii Shop Channel. In addition to its PC and OS version, Opera is already available for portable devices via Opera Mobile for smart phones and Opera Mini for cell phones.

Cape Verde Telecom to offer TV and broadband Internet by end of 2006 [ 2006-05-15 ]

Praia, Cape Verde, 15 May - Cape Verde Telecom is concluding technical preparations to launch a “triple play” (television, broadband Internet and telephone) service by the end of the year, said Nuno Leite, a company director.

Speaking to Cape Verdean news agency Inforpress, Leite said that, initially the service would be sold on the islands of Santiago, Sal and Sao Vicente, with a target of 6,000 customers.

Within two years, Leite said, the entire Cape Verde archipelago would have coverage.

“At the moment we are at a stage of setting up equipment. We are going to do everything we can for the base to be set up and ready for the project launch by the end of the year,” Leite said.

The archipelago currently has only one public television channel, Televisão Nacional de Cabo Verde (TCV), along with a private channel currently in testing (TIVER), and the Portuguese channel RTP África and France’s CFI.

According to Leite, the operator’s cable television service will give priority to Portuguese, Brazilian and themed channels, in areas such as music, cinema, sport and children’s programming.

The investment made by Cape Verde Telecom in developing its cable network so far totalled US$3.52 million, Leite said.

The new phases of financial and technical investment, he said, would be set out according to “the demand for cable television services, in order to ensure a return and cover the whole country.”

CV Telecom is currently owned by Portugal Telecom, with 40 percent, INPS -Instituto Nacional de Previdencia Social, with 27.9 percent, ASA – Empresa de Aeroportos e Segurança Aérea, with 10 percent, Cape Verdean private investors (13.7 percent), as well as the State, which ahs a 3.4 percent stake and company workers, with 5 percent.
