      Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?
      Finally, someone who gets it! I've been using my laptop to stream from Netflix since they started without having to buy anything. As the internet and broadcast TV continue to converge the winners will be the people that enbrace the new technology. I just bought a terabyte of storage that fits in my pocket for $120. That's a lot of HD movies. Why would I ever need a BlueRay disk or player at the prices they are trying to charge?

      Yahoo and Intel Attempt Marriage of Internet and TV
      Great news! Finally there is concrete movement towards totally blurring the line between TV and the Internet. Soon programming will live in the cloud and people can have totally free choice in their viewing - not just in what and how they watch, but when.

      Netflix Beats Blockbuster to the Punch - Again
      Why do you have to buy any kind of box? I've been using my laptop to do this all year. My laptop has an s-video connector and wireless internet, so I just plug it into the front of my TV and voila! - free movies from Netflix or any other internet streaming source on my TV. If the Netflix box only shows Netflix films, I don't understand why people would buy this?

      MySpace to Launch New Music Joint Venture With Big Labels
      This is a giant leap into the future and actually a long time in the coming. When's the last time you bought a "record". As the brick and mortor record stores morph into virtual stores online, we will see the movie business quickly follow suit. It's time for "Music" companies to re-invent themselves and they better move quick.

      Amazon's Life Blood: Trickling Free Cash Flow
      You should try Unbox. Lot's more video content than iTunes. Unbox is the beginning of the VOD revolution in the way that people will get their movies. This service is so easy to use. I just plug my ZEN (a wonderful little handheld video device made by Creative) into my PC, click on Unbox icon, pick a movie and with one click and a little time (less than forty minutes for a feature), I have the movie I want to watch. This device acts like a DVR (TiVo is a DVR), but it's tiny enough for me to take with me anywhere. I can watch content on the go and one of the great features is that when I am at home, I can plug it into my TV and watch in DVD quality on the "big screen". I can't be the only person catching on to this. I have a particular interest in being ahead of the curve, because I am a film producer and want to see my independent films find new audiences. This type of delivery system could well replace DVDs, going to the video store (which by the way, only needs to be a few burning kiosks) and rent-by-mail services like Netflix. Unbox, combined with ZEN or any other compatible handheld that works like it, is the first service that truly lets you watch what you want, where you want. I'm really excited about it and I'm sure others will be.

      Amazon Launches New Version of Unbox
      You should try Unbox again. It is so fast and so easy and certainly wins the content war. Unbox is the beginning of the VOD revolution in the way that people will get their movies.

      12 Reasons for Amazon.com to Rise Substantially This Year
      I think your advise on Amazon is right on, but not just because of the relationship with Tivo. Unbox is the beginning of the VOD revolution in the way that people will get their movies.

      TiVo: No Longer Hot
      TiVo now has to compete with other types of DVR that offer more features. My Creative ZEN works better for me. I download content from UNBOX, watch on the go and when I'm home, I plug this little handheld device into my TV and watch in DVD quality. What could be easier? No subscription, no big box, no DVD's to try and organize, no waiting for the mailman. And it's got a built-in FM tuner to boot and much better resolution than the video iPod.

      Blockbuster vs. Netflix: Which Online Rental Service is Better and Why?
      You are both missing the boat! First, DVD sales are flat as a pancake for the past two years and dropping, so the DVD rental stores are going to disappear. Too much real estate for too little profit. For people that really want the hard boxed DVD's, DVD burning kiosks in stores like Wal-mart make much more sense. Second, VOD is growing exponentially. Everyone is getting on the bandwagon, including Amazon, Wal-mart, Clickstar, EVEN Netflix and Blockbuster, but they've got it all wrong. No one wants to stream on their computer, well practically no one. But tons of us want to download to our ZENs (better version if video iPod), as we can take our content with us or plug our little mobile player into our TV and watch DVD quality on the "big screen". Netflix wins the content war - Boomer Nation prefers intelligent content in the comfort of their home. Kids, who need cheap dates to get laid, need "blockbusters&quo... in the theater, their friends house, or their car. VOD is the future, huge choice in content will win, but neither of the companies you talk about are doing it right at the moment. Check out how easy it is for indie filmmakers to get their content on Amazon's Unbox service at www.customflix.com You'll see my film, SHIFTED, on the ZEN. All the studios also signed up with Unbox, as opposed to iTunes, which is only carrying Disney content and no independent fare. I've already been contacted by Wal-Mart for content, so you know they'll be aggressive in getting great choices for their customers.

      Movie Download Wars: Wal Mart Grasping at Straws
      MovieLink and CinemaNow only offer studio films. The market for sophisticated independent films is huge, as evidenced by the large number of indie titles on Netflix. The best source for downloading to own or rent right now is Amazon.com's Unbox service. With one click, I can download content to my ZEN (mobile video iPod-like device, but ten times better). I can watch full length films (that download in about 40 minutes) either on the go or I can plug it into my TV and watch DVD quality on the "big screen". The ZEN acts like a DVR, but it's totally portable. Services like MovieLink only download or stream content that can be watched on a PC. Boring. HP will be supplying the infastructure and branded websites for downloading for companies like Walmart. Netflix's streaming is also not interesting, as it isn't mobile. By the way, EZTakes.com offers a download to own service that will let you burn a DVD that plays in your TV's regular DVD player. VOD is going to be huge and people will want the flixibility to watch it when and where they want. Those that get it right will do killler business. My film, Shifted, was the first indie title on Unbox. Independent filmmakers can make their title available for download on Amazon.com's service by using Customflix (www.customflix.com) Check it out. You'll my film on the ZEN and if you click on the ZEN you can see how easy it is for filmmakers to get their content up on the service. iTunes is missing the boat in this respect, as the video iPod is an inferior product and kids still like to go to the theater - it's a cheap date. Overall box office and attendance is down two years in a row and DVD sales are flat as a pancake. VOD is future, not necessarily on PC's but anywhere, anytime.
