The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has recently happened again and is now becoming THE place for launching new techie intiatives, although Steve Jobs would have you think otherwise with Macworld in the shadows. So whether your a gadget junkie or a serious developer you can see all the demos and news here. Or watch Bill Gates keynote speech.
OK, here's Steve Jobs as well... telling you three stories from his life!
Lots of people asking us what on earth we're doing with all this download activity.... just what we've always done in-so-far as content is concerned, Art-House and Foreign Films. As regards all the back-end stuff, well it's fairly standard technology to date... Microsoft DRM, Sale/Rental, shared revenue, Progressive Downloads etc.
But is it though? Who else is offering Progressive in the UK, and who else is encoding movies at 2mb? And who else allows unlimited play for the licence period - not to mention a 'no fuss' re-download of media!
What's next? Well, we're biding our time, aggregating more content and forging many new relationships in this emerging sector. We're also developing more sites and enabling existing ones with our platform via our api. If your reading this and haven't yet tried one of our films... try it, there's some excellent cinema on our site and it really does work!
Before too long you'll be reading this from your TV screen anyway - or watching TV from your PC monitor, as the two merge and TVs have installed browsers etc.
Monetization via Ad-led free content and subscription models will become inevitable, if only as an alternative. And the next phase in U3 USB technology? Can't wait... as for mobiles, well, anyone tried the i-phone yet? It seems logical that mobiles will increasingly become storage devices for all things media - DRM'd or otherwise.
