The only device even remotely close to that is a 3G mobile phone.</p>dvd recordersWed, 12 Dec 2007 01:54:39 -0000Re: Survey: consumers want an Internet-connected TVhttp://www.last100.com/2007/07/19/survey-consumers-want-an-internet-connected-tv/#comment-9506088<p>I think there are a number of factors. First, as the article mentions, not everybody has a local area network (WiFi or otherwise), yet. This is changing fast, as more people get broadband and want it to be spread around the house. The second factor is ease-of-use. Things are getting easier to network, but not easy enough. The third factor is, as always, content!</p>Steve O'Hear (editor)Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:12:51 -0000Re: Survey: consumers want an Internet-connected TVhttp://www.last100.com/2007/07/19/survey-consumers-want-an-internet-connected-tv/#comment-9506086<p>Surveys like this are always a little misleading. I've had my TV connected to the internet ever since I bought a Dreamcast.. (was that 1999? It was a while ago). 360, PS3, Wii, Apple TV, etc etc are all adding tremendous functionality right now.</p><p>So If people really want this, why isn't the explosion happening right now?</p>AustinThu, 19 Jul 2007 12:46:43 -0000
