Video Bulletin Board enables mobile-to-Blu-ray player interaction

by Darren Murph, posted Nov 15th 2008 at 7:41PM

After seeing what we saw at CEDIA this year, we knew this innovation was only a hop, skip and a jump away. RCDb and Nortel have teamed up to showcase what they're calling the Video Bulletin Board, which is an interactive application that enables cellphones and Blu-ray players to communicate like never before. With it, you can "send a photo or video from your mobile phone to your own or a friend's BD Live-enabled Blu-ray deck and then, using the remote, activate a click-to-call feature that would automatically have your phone call back the mobile user who sent you the photo." It won't be long before you're ordering pizza from your Blu-ray player and watching outtakes on your handset -- at least, we hope.

Hah, I actually would not mind trying that order-pizza-from-my-player trick. Too bad none of the pizza places in my area deliver.

hopefully before they get to far ahead of themselves with the advanced features they could fix the playback issues

finally grandpas and grandmas can buy a single device that not only is great HD experience for movies but doubletimes as a multimedia communications device with friends and family around the world and with a simple click from the remote control can make phone calls using the good old and reliable telephone network or the new VoIP phone networks. Crank it up Nortel and RCDb!
