With Apple and Adobe’s dispute over getting Flash to play on the iPhone always in full-force, it’s nice to see that somebody is smart enough to get video onto the iPhone in a different direction.
Just announced this morning is a free app from CBS called TV.com. While it is still only CBS (the only thing worth watching on the eye network is Letterman) it is step in the right direction offering a number of shows from several of their networks.
Fingers crossed that NBC/Fox are working on a Hulu option.
For all of the liking/linking I do of Sony Bravia and their great TV ads, they should be providing me one for the trouble.
In the latest they have moved away from the ‘Colour like no other’ to showing off the smoothest motion picture possible on a TV. In doing so they built the world’s largest (Guiness verified) Zoetrope. Think 1800’s, carousel viewers.
Remember New Coke? I was a tad young but I do remember the stirring that it caused when the Coca-Cola company decided to “update” their coke flavor over two decades ago and the fact that it didn’t take them long to re-introduce Coke Classic. It was a bad move on Coke’s part to take their century old recipe and change it up on the fly. Consumer’s weren’t happy.
I mention New Coke just in the fact that it’s the last time I’ve seen the public create such an outcry as to get the company to notice and revert back to their trusted roots.
