P2POD pimps P2P HD content
We're thinking that companies are just starting
to mash-up popular buzzwords just for now. Take the P2POD from AHT International, play a little "Wheel of
Fortune", buy a vowel and combine "P2P" with "iPod" and whaddya get: we're not sure other than
a mash-up name. The P2POD is touted as an HDTV device, but we don't think you'll be watching any broadcast, cable or
satellite on this. No, the P2POD looks like a peer-to-peer vessel to get high-def and other audio or video content from
the Internet. There's no display, just a box with 64MB of RAM, an HDMI
port, and a video decoder. There are more hardware buzzwords on the product page, but even more interesting is the
MyMo Media service that provides an interface and content database. It also provides a nominal subscription fee, so
we'll likely pass.[via Engadget]
