MovieBeam is back, and this time in hi-def {Engadget}
Feb 14th 2006 1:46PM sure, it's great to get HD a la cinemanow and napster, but it uses a radio antenna and a phone line! i don't have a phone line, just our cellphones.
i am truly proud of the 119" HD DLP setup i built for less than $2k thanks to the good people at woot and bhphoto. It's great, and really makes me wish i had more HD content available to me.
but these guys at moviebeam don't get it. i want to use the internet to get my content, like napster. i want to use my pc, not their hardware (though i'm open to using their hardware if it has more outputs- how about component out guys?). But a phone line? and an antenna? I really don't get it. i'll tolerate 20 minutes of download time to get the thing started-- it would take longer to walk to the video store, and this way i know the film won't be out when i get there.
so, cinemanow has a decent model for subscription. But i really don't need the porn (and thehun.com seems to have that down, though it too lacks HD)
so anyway, i'm happy to see moviebeam starting to open this space up. but it needs to be a bit smarter. when i was in london, i found that homechoice.co.uk was great-- that would work well here in HD.
If only.
Cingular debuts GlobalConnect world data plan {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 13th 2006 9:45AM Oh Cingular. Why don't you get it? You still don't let your customers receive international phone calls without paying extra. And you charge them to add international dialing to their plans- why not activate it for everyone so they can, by default, have the chance to spend even more money with you?
ah well, at least the US is starting to catch up with the rest of the world on mobiles. starting.
now cingular, when are you going to sell me one of those snazzy HP hw6900s? I need some GPS loving in my pocket!
