P2POD pimps P2P HD content

P2POD

We're thinking that companies are just starting to mash-up popular buzzwords just for now. Take the P2POD from AHT International, play a little "Wheel of Fortune", buy a vowel and combine "P2P" with "iPod" and whaddya get: we're not sure other than a mash-up name. The P2POD is touted as an HDTV device, but we don't think you'll be watching any broadcast, cable or satellite on this. No, the P2POD looks like a peer-to-peer vessel to get high-def and other audio or video content from the Internet. There's no display, just a box with 64MB of RAM, an HDMI port, and a video decoder. There are more hardware buzzwords on the product page, but even more interesting is the MyMo Media service that provides an interface and content database. It also provides a nominal subscription fee, so we'll likely pass.
