It apparently has PVR capabilities as well as the ability to receive small images via Bluetooth for viewing on a larger screen, i.e. your television. It also includes some built-in games, as well as a feature to record from a digital camera or camcorder."

    (sorry...not dissing the Tivo, but why are Slashdot readers dissing competition in one area, (PVRs) while whining about the lack of it in another? (Microsoft)

    Actually, they seem like a perfect match:

    Your 36" TV resolution 640x480

    Your mobile phone camera - same 640x480

    This can happen to anything. I ordered an APC UPS for a data center and this thing was a mess. First it had the wrong badging on it (said 8kVA instead of 4kVA) and after the electrician wired the data center for 8kVA i noticed the mistake. The elctircian wouldn't hook it up as 4kVA because of electric code issues. We had to ship it back and after much deliberation (APC says this never happens) they shipped us the 8kVA UPS at no extra cost. The only problem was that the 8kVA model they sent us was dead and APC was shocked. They said this never happens. The third they shipped was alright.

    At my present company we use Nokia firewalls / checkpoint VPN software and we've never had a problem with them.

    This type of stuff can happen to any company.
