I can see android becoming a word used instead of linux, easier for consumers to say correctly...]]>Apr 14th 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/Apr 14th 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/
I could see Android follow this tradition and be used as a generic graphical OS companies write their custom software on top of before putting it on whatever device they mean to sell.]]>Apr 14th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/Apr 14th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/Apr 14th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/Apr 14th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/Apr 14th 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/]]>Apr 14th 2009 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/Apr 14th 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/
The cable companies hire third party software companies to write the code that runs on the Motorola set top boxes. You're barking up the wrong tree.

That being said, the lack of innovation from Comcast is ridiculous in this day and age. No UI improvements, no whole home DVR, no widgets. It's just pathetic.]]>Apr 14th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/motorola-building-android-based-cable-boxes-for-japans-kddi/

But what do the parents of this baby expect it to become as it grows up (if it grows up) ? In other words, what's cooking in Google cauldrons for the "living room" experience ? Or how can ad sense add sense in the living room ? Little known facts, theories, conjectures and reliable rumors most welcome.

Motorola boxes suck stateside. I absolutely love the green bar on the right side of my HDTV's screen, and the shifted pixels on the left.]]>Apr 15th 2009 12:08AM
