Well actually the Joost player is made with the core codec media player and TCPMP plays movies quite nicely and my 3gs Rev A phone has great speed for downloads. That's why I'm sitting by the pool at the YMCA looking for a Joost Windows Mobile version. All the pieces are here, they just need to be assembled!!!!

I think you're spot on with Joost coming on a set-top box. However, rather than think Apple TV, I think better bets are set-top boxes from Scientific-Atlanta and perhaps even Motorola. These are the two top players in the set-top box market. Interestingly, Mike Volpi helped acquire and then managed Scientific-Atlanta while at cisco, so I think a Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta and Joost/Babelgum partnership would be a big bet.

a lot can be said, for one thing Joost still has a long way to come it simply eats too much bandwidth and it has a high memory resource footprint.

@Motorcycle Guy

I never suggested that Joost would make the set-top-box themselves but that they would partner with other companies like Skype has. So think Netgear, Linkysys or even other players in the space such as Microsoft, Sony or Apple.

How will they get funding for a set-top box. Also are they going to expect people to pay for it?

It's disappointing to see that potentially, third party developers like those at Joost won't be able to create software for the Apple TV.

if “We know we can make it run on any operating system.” then why is there no linux version yet?

Nice setup, especially the use of mouse gestures.

Hmmm, I say more people will hook their PCs up to TVs(like LCD TVs). The Internet is way more interesting then boring TV.

Check out my set up http://www.techavid.com I fair to guess more will follow

I didn't know that BitTorrent was running on Symbian mobiles. It's been disappointing not to see a Skype client for my Nokia e61.

Joost could petetialy run on phones like Nokia's N95 that does H.264 video and has TV out and it can also stream out all that Joost has to so is create a Symbian client .the phone also supports Open GL for the joost overlays

Symtorrent is already doing p2p http://www.aut.bme.hu/porta... on Symbian phones
