But app-mania (really app platform mania) seems to be a faster spreading disease than swine flu. And it seems liket every CE manufacturer has now caught it. We're not just talking about apps on cell phones platforms like iPhone and Android. Samsung, Vizio, Boxee, Roku, and even the Ford Motor Company. The real trouble with all of these new app platforms is many of them are all new platforms - incompatible with iPhone/Android. Are these companies really thinking that they can all attract thousands of developer to write to their API just because they said the magic word?]]> http://www.gadgetopolis.com/posts/787/feed 61 http://www.gadgetopolis.com/posts/736 http://www.gadgetopolis.com/posts/736#comments Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:49:58 +0000 George Thiruva http://web1.gadgetopolis.com/?p=36 By George Thiruva

It's CES week! And as a TiVo addict my first duty (as in past years) will be to check out TiVo's new Digital Video Recorder offerings for 2010. (2009 was a major disappointment) In the past few days, we've seen rumors of a new TiVo called the TiVo Premier. Sadly, this doesn't look like anything new - just a slimmed down version of the TiVo HD - which itself was a slimmed down version of the first TiVo Series3 HD (which yours truly has been using at home for about *three* years now). But could it surprise us with some unexpectedly great new features? Will it be enough to help turn around TiVo's fortunes?]]> http://www.gadgetopolis.com/posts/736/feed 1004
