I think that the TakeTV concept of a flash-based storage device with a docking station that provides TV-out, on-screen navigation, and a remote control is the right way to bring video from the Internet to the TV. I want to see it support more video formats and I want the FanFare software to integrate the Miro RSS reader so that I can buy content from the FanFare catalog and just pull content from my podcast feeds. More about this here: <a href="http://podslug.com/blog/?p=111" rel="nofollow">http://podslug.com/blog/?p=111</a> If SanDisk can pull this off, then they will have a competitive solution against Apple.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erik Herz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2007 10:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk Sansa TakeTV (and Fanfare) hands-on: TakeTWO]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/sandisk-sansa-taketv-and-fanfare-hands-on-taketwo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/sandisk-sansa-taketv-and-fanfare-hands-on-taketwo/</guid><description><![CDATA[So how exactly is this thing different from, say, the Packard Bell Store&Play 2500?<br><br>Oh, except that the S&P2500 has a 120 GB hard drive, doesn't need a silly "docking station" and cost me about the same as this 8GB oversized stick?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karel Jansens]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2007 12:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SanDisk Sansa TakeTV (and Fanfare) hands-on: TakeTWO]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/sandisk-sansa-taketv-and-fanfare-hands-on-taketwo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/sandisk-sansa-taketv-and-fanfare-hands-on-taketwo/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can this be used without the thumb drive?
