Who Will Win the WebTV Battle?
Seeking Alpha &bull YesterdayWith new studies showing 58% of TV viewers had streamed or downloaded TV within the last six months (45% watched or downloaded TV content at least once a week), which company will win the WebTV battle? AppleTV: Apparently, Apple is turning TV into a real business as opposed to a hobby compared with music and hardware. The new AppleTV is a sweet device offering $0.99 shows and Netflix (NFLX) movies in a slick platform. My BIG question is why bother with the device if you can get all the content on iTunes 10 and netflix.com? Personally, I'd rather connect my… Full Story »

Samsung: Galaxy Tab has leg up on Apple iPad
Cnet News &bull Yesterday
BERLIN--When Samsung debuted its Galaxy Tab on Thursday, it made a bold claim: the device is at least as good as today's dominant tablet, Apple's iPad. And in several ways, he said, the Galaxy Tab is stronger. It permits both picture-taking and video chat with front- and back-mounted cameras. Its weight of 380 grams (0.8 pounds) is considerably less than the iPad, which weighs 680 grams (1.5 pounds) without 3G and 730g (1.6 pounds) with it. But we think, through consumer research, that weight is very critical to enjoy the user experience," Hong said. Samsung certainly has abundant experience with… Full Story »

Is Apple's iPod tune getting old?
Cnet News &bull Yesterday
For the uninitiated, that's Internet shorthand for "I couldn't care less." Last year's iPod Nano with camera failed to ignite much instant excitement, and this year's new products didn't appear to fare much better. It's not that they're not good products--the announcements are just not generating the same amount of hype and interest as, say, an iPhone or iPad launch these days. One of the issues is that Apple sets the bar pretty high for these kinds of special events, particularly in the last year. But the bigger one is that as Apple closes in on a decade of making… Full Story »

How Apple's Ping dings Twitter, Facebook
Cnet News &bull Yesterday
People who describe themselves as friendly often aren't. What they actually mean is that they're friendly to people with whom they can find something in common. When it comes to encountering a public that is a touch more general, they're as indifferent as the next man. Who is, of course, indifferent to them. Unless they can establish some commonality, that is. If they manage that, the conversation can suddenly turn from one of utter emptiness, to one of radically emotional charge. Remember those times when you sit at a bar and happen upon someone who supports the same baseball team,… Full Story »
