This was a big week end for corporate unveilings. Friday Directv, ILS and Boeing had a successful launch of the Directv 10 satellite broadcast live on the web and Directv. According DBSTalk it looks like the 100 additional HD channels will be available by September 15th. Last night Boeing rolled out the 787 Dreamliner to a Worldwide audience. The event could be viewed on the web and in the US; on Directv and Dish Network. Is this a trend for corporations to broadcast their own unveilings? This is clearly a way for companies to get their message directly to customers and consumers bypassing the media...Apple did this to some extent for the iPhone on their web site, but they also manipulated the traditional media to help create the buzz. I think in the future we will see more of this type of direct to customer/consumer message presentation using a combination of the web and TV broadcasts.
The review of the excellent BlueAnt Supertooth Light Bluetooth hands free speakerphone should be published on pocketnow.com.
Hotspot@home is still working well, however the Samsung T-409 will not pair with the Dock-N-Talk. It looks like I need to get a firmware upgrade for the Dock-N-Talk. Using the Dock-N-Talk will allow us to use any phone in the house.
