1. On the iphone I am kinda surprised people are that excited about the screen when its the same size as the first iphone. Clearer text really doesn't matter on a screen that small, make the text bigger (on say the 4.3 inch evo screen) and its far more readable than the iphone's 3.5 screen. This is marketing hype and people are buying it hook, line, and sinker.
2. I think a mini hdmi on my phone would be very useful and it will certainly be a requirement on my next phone. Being able to hook my phone to any modern tv would be awesome.... playing netflix movies, playing music, showing photos on any tv at my families or friends house will be very useful. I also do not agree with ben that want multiple copies of my moves. I want only one 720p version with 5.1 audio that will play on my tv, phone and computer. I have about 100 movies on my homesever right now it takes a few terabytes to store. I do not want to store multiple copies of each movie.

3. I am actually very interested to see where hulu goes if the rumor is true. This goes back to media center for me as I really see the xbox being the "box" for microsoft. (alluding to the appletv discussion). As such I have a feeling hulu might be part of a larger streaming tv initiative for xbox live that will take the place of media center. I am a current media center + xbox extender user but I think media center will not be getting more updates and they will push that stuff to the xbox directly and remove the pc requirement. The skytv deal in the UK is a good example of what I think the xbox live tv service will end up being albeit at an early stage of the service. Hulu and espn3 (also rumored) could be the test case for the US version.]]>Jun 8th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/engadget-hd-podcast-197-06-8-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/engadget-hd-podcast-197-06-8-2010/Jun 8th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/engadget-hd-podcast-197-06-8-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/engadget-hd-podcast-197-06-8-2010/Jun 8th 2010 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/engadget-hd-podcast-197-06-8-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/engadget-hd-podcast-197-06-8-2010/

Thanks again for the article on overscan. I download videos from The Onion from ITunes and play them on my Popcorn Hour which is attached to my LCD TV.

I didn't know why I couldn't read the ticker on the bottom of The Onion news stories from my TV but could on my PC. A simple press of the button on my remote fixed that for good.]]>Jun 14th 2010 8:45PM
