Just so if you folks are curious or misinformed. Cable companies are looking forward to tru2way. Think of all the warehouse storage needed for the boxes and remotes along with the difficulty for a technician to plan out all his installs of different boxes for a weeks time. Tru2way will be a great innovation and cable companies know it. Just think, you move into a new house and want cable, what do you do when Tru2way comes out? Call up your local cable company subscribe to a service and either have a card mailed to you or pick one up from a service center. Hook up the cable from the outlet to your tv, put the card into your tv and viola! you have cable. Much less headaches for customers and cable companies. Also the potential for issues with your tv drops significantly. In most cases, if there is a problem it will be connections/lines or your tv. I for one have been waiting months to purchase a tv and will continue until Tru2way is more of a standard. Well worth the wait in my eyes.

If you think all of that is true, then why isn't the market already flooded with Cable Card TVs? And why don't cable companies let people do Cable Card installs by themselves?
Given that neither of these things is even close to true, and most cable card installs are multi-hour affairs that the cable companies never have anybody in the area trained on, are you still confident that this is something the cable companies really really want to happen?
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
