Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
You've got to believe that TI is more focused on projection units than rear projection boxes. Between commercial units that go into digital projection movie theaters and the burgeoning large screen home theater projectors, TI stands to dominate the industry. As I understand it, commercial digital projection applications are still relatively untapped and TI stands to make a bundle since they are merely the chip makers. Virtually anyone who will upgrade to digital in the commercial realm will eventually end up buying a projector with TI chips at the heart of it.
Additionally, this is great news for consumers since these types of applications will (eventually) help drive costs down at the theaters. Digital distribution has tremendous benefits in the end and a digital copy that's been played 1000 times will look the same as the first time it was played. Film deteriorates and breaks the more it is used and it costs a mint to distribute thru conventional channels. As much as we bitch and moan about the theatrical experience, digital distribution will at least improve both image and sound quality for the duration of a film's run at the local cinema. We've already got theaters here in Austin that have made the conversion to 100% DLP projection available in every one of their theaters. Can the rest of the country be far behind?
