Google TV Is A Bigger Deal Than You Think
,----[ Quote ]
| Because TV matters in a way that nothing else
| does. Each year, the TV drives roughly $70
| billion in advertising and an equal amount in
| cable and satellite fees, and another $25
| billion in consumer-electronics sales. Plus,
| viewers spend 4.5 hours a day with itâwhich
| is, mind you, the equivalent of a full-time
| job in some socialist-leaning countries (Iâll
| refrain from naming names).

Android mobile devices with MIPS architecture
,----[ Quote ]
| Like ARM, MIPS is not a processor
| manufacturer, but rather a seller of (ARM
| incompatible) processor designs, which have,
| up to now, been used largely in the embedded
| field. An Android port aimed primarily at set-
| top boxes has been in the works for some time,
| however plans are now afoot for the first
| mobile device. At last week's Computex PC
| trade show taking place in Taiwan, MIPS,
| together with mobile phone specialist
| SySDSoft, has announced an implementation of
| the LTE mobile telephony standard for MIPS
| processors.

Linux-powered iPad-like tablets can't come quickly enough
,----[ Quote ]
| If any Linux company comes close to
| appreciating Apple's appeal to average users
| with its focus on making the interface a
| pleasure to use, it's Canonical. After all, it
| was Canonical's founder and Ubuntu's guiding
| light, Mark Shuttleworth, who said Ubuntu's
| goal was to deliver "a user experience that
| can compete with Apple in two years."
|
| Shuttleworth was talking about the desktop.
| Today, it's all about competing on devices.
| The day of the PC is fading into the
| afternoon. With Apple making enemies of one-
| time partners and closing its software circle
| ever tighter, now is the time for Linux not
| only to push forward with its historical
| advantages of lower prices and open software
| and standards, but to show the world that
| Linux devices can be every bit as attractive
| and user-friendly as its Apple competition.

Startup readies world's first Android Internet radio
,----[ Quote ]
| As far as we know, this is indeed the
| first dedicated desktop Internet radio to
| run Android. In fact, touchscreen-based
| Internet radios of any kind, such as the
| Linux-based Sensia from Pure, are still
| fairly novel.

Google TV gains new Android IPTV rivals
,----[ Quote ]

| video-on-demand sites.
