They have quite an array of media devices/software items ranging from audio products, web tablets, home networking and now video. And as for ReplayTV and the PVR industry it means that TiVo may may have even less competition now ... WebNoize has another very interesting article on the acquisition and SonicBlue's overall strategy, but it's a subscriber-only thing :(" (Quick note to WebNoize -- wouldn't you like more people to read this?)

empeg + ReplayTV engineers = Goodness... by Drakino · 2001-02-03 05:22 · Score: 5

Since Slashdot rejected the story, not too many people know that SonicBlue also owns empeg. Just imagine what kinds of on demand video and audio products could come out of SonicBlue now...

They also bought Sensory Science.

Interesting indeed.
