This is ridiculous prices! £60 a month for 1GB!? i pay £35 atm and get unlimited... theres no way i can wait until October to get the extra GB i would need :/ i was really looking forward to getting the new iPhone with O2... if vodafone or someone still has unlimited... im about to get one with them

@hated one

It has a release date. This fall its released by Sony and Logitech. Android apps in 2011 and going completely open source in early 2011..

It has HD as it explicitly says you can play Youtube in HD and you can stream video in HD.

Boxee are releasing an app for it which means that any video you have on your network i would presume would be accessed by the Boxee app so your DVR is obsolete due to the fact you could use that .
Live streaming feeds is the whole idea of the product. Its what its there for. And as for surround sound the GTV boxes/ TV's can work as a companion to your existing set-up. so it does have surround sound and because its not like Apple where only one product will be released (lots of Manufcurers will be getting in on this) there will be a wide variety of products to choose from - Surround sound or without it. with DVR and without it.

I agree that working as an extra to other services like cable which will charge subcscription is a bad idea. they should just outright try and replace those companies.. Im skeptical about some of the points ive backed up here, as i mentioned in my previous comment, but for you to just come and flat-out deny that they exist is ridonkulous.

From the things id heard GoogleTV sounded like everything i wanted.. i then watched the Keynote just to make sure it was what i thought and i have to admit im extremely dissappointed. If im searching for video on the TV im most likely wanting to watch a proper TV show. i rarely watch 'webisodes' or anything like that - maybe GTV will be the beginning of proper content im going to want to watch off the internet ( im sure theres some great stuff out there but im not interested as of yet) and i know that Google searching LOST for video isnt going to get me the episodes for free. Theres no DVR capability - im sure it will come but its not the core feature. It should be.

AppleTV has never interested me. I like the core idea - i choose what i want to watch and have my entire catalogue to watch whenever i like but i dont just want iTunes, if i can get Boxee with some basic web interfaces that can stream my Boxee Library, Sky Player (for sports and On Demand Movies), iPlayer and the other British on Demand services, maybe have a Twitter feed/Facebook/Skype chat open over the top of a video then i think THAT will be the Web-based TV solution that i would want..

People dont want extra boxes to connect to their TV just so they can pay for Cable/Satellite and also search for lolcats in youtube on their TV. the Internet based TV of the future will replace the Satellite Dish / Cable company and Google basing their entire business plan around keeping those companies around is handing potential to a future AppleTV as its clear that when that stops being a hobby (hopefully the latest rumours are true - if not Apple need to up their game because Google could very easily edge past them and dominate this market)

I dont want to pay for a full Sky package, internet and GTV. Give me a GTV box with a harddrive and the ability to stream my current content and get the web content and we're sorted.. yeah im sure that with android apps for Boxee that this will be a possibility and i LOVE the idea of using my phone apps on a nice big screen but selling it as a companion to satellite will not be easy. Working in sales its hard to get customers to take out Sky/Satellite or Virgin because they dont like the subscription prices for either (im sure its the same in the US) and Free to Air TV just doesnt offer the quality of programming.

They talk alot about merging the Old TV technology with New Internet Technology... but they cant Merge Old TV business plans and just slab them together with new Internet business plans.. Old TV needs to die and New Web TV needs to gain Live Sports + nice web capabilities that work well on a TV = Job Done.

I'm willing to bet HTC were company D because they needed those patents
I'm definitely willing to bet Motorola were in there, especially as they have just acquired their own Mobile OS (which i think is a terrible idea btw) I believe they would have been extremely eager to get WebOS.
And I'm going to hazard a guess at Dell and Lenovo being the other two companies with Dell possibly being Company C

Wow.. I know these columns get a lot of stick but i normally do enjoy them, so I'm not just saying this because trolls think its a cool thing to do.

But that was a poor article, I read Engadget alot but I havent paid much attention to stuff about the Dash, I come to read this article and I still dont know what it does really (it sounds like the clock + weather widgets on my iphone for $199?) but i dont know whats good about it or what is bad about it.

I really think these articles should be more indepth i dont know why i just am always a little surprised when I see how abruptly they finish - may have something to do with the glorious opening italicised into they get (/s) but they just arent in-depth enough - i normally enjoy them but not this time

I think it makes sense, without hating on Treyarch or other Activision Shooter studios, IW is by far their best and most innovative, having made the cod franchise as popular as it is it makes sense for everybody to make it it's own IP. For IW they can gain their own credentials and maintain their creative freedom without having to piggyback a franchise with what another studio is doing (same for Treyarch - they can make their own games and not worry about missing out key features the other studio included in their game or worry about making the next game in the series a stepdown in functionality- hope that's easy to understand?) activision will now have two franchises to exploit and won't be accused of over-saturation of a franchise = not as much bad press from 'core' gamers. And guaranteed another studio will eventually take over the reigns of Modern Warfare and allow IW to move on to the next franchise = 3 franchises for activision (probably a future shooter or that rumoured 3rd person or scifi COD) and seriously? MW2 will have more advertising than any film ever? More than halo and more than GTA. There will be no problems and MW as a separate IP is good for all those involved. Besides guaranteed the gamecase will look extremely similar in design to MW1 and CoD:W@W so will instantly look like the previous entries.

I think in the future it will be great to have a DD system. but the organisation system mostly would have to have a perfect interface for searching and selecting games and some way of organising the best ones.

But now it is just not an option for a good library of games. Download and internet speeds are way too slow to be able to get a game in a decent amount of time and the PS3 would definitely need to be able to download whilst in a game. and Hard Drive space would need to be massive literally hundreds and hundreds of GB's like ^ says MGS4 is 50GB on its own and any expansions add onto that. Then for big-time users there is the fact if thy ever want a larger hard drive they would need to re-download all of those other games. Unless there was someway to just have the games stored online and all that is needed to play is a purchase and then connect online and play the game online withoutneeding to download (lol)

I just cant see it being worthwhile without a great interface, huge HDD's and a super-speedy internet connection.
