I am just catching up with reading the news from yesterday - out all day -. A couple of "elreg" articles called my attention - "Slingbox maker Sling Media has completed the Symbian version of its SlingPlayer Mobile application, and today announced UK mobile phone network 3 will bundle the software with two 3G handsets when they ship on 1 December." That is a pretty ambitious announcement, but then again South Africa is already ahead in some respect "MTN South Africa has launched the country’s first commercially available 3G / DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld) capable cellular handset. The Samsung P910 cellphone is designed for mobile television with its swiveling LCD 262144 TFT Colour QVGA screen and double adjusting hinge that rotates into landscape mode for a pleasant television viewing experience."
In a previous post I talked about the XBox, well now Bill Gates has started announcing the strategy around it "In gaming, [the] TV, high-definition video [and] PC are all coming together now in the Xbox. Voice recognition will get better ... software and services with improved interfaces wrapped around them will be coming soon. Our new Zune [media player] has built-in Wi-Fi, so you can send your friends music and photos and messages ... we'll continue to see this kind of innovation building on top of what we have today. We're moving toward more connected entertainment everywhere."
Finally, seeing BT's moves is also of interest, puts into context the value of a regular ADSL subscriber - £335 pounds - (that, I assume is for a subscriber in an ISP that has lots of troubles).
Let the force be with you !
