New Sony In-wall Home Entertainment House Builder Kit

Topic:

Sony introduces new in-wall home entertainment components: CDP-NW10 in-wall audio system and DVP-NW50 in-wall home theater system.

The CDP-NW10 in-wall audio system and DVP-NW50 in-wall home theater system can connect over most standard home computer networks to enable multi-room audio distribution, as well as intercom and room monitoring functions. Because the units are installed in-wall during construction, all unsightly wiring is hidden out of the homeowner's way. The modular systems can be installed in living spaces throughout the home and, when connected via an Ethernet based home network, can share audio content.

The systems are developed to fit any décor with a sleek, space-saving design. For added customization, homeowners can purchase customizable center and side plates to match room décor.
So if you are renovating your digs, this is for you.

Treo 600 is Great but does it do Entertainment?

Topic:

Andrew Carton writes:
Considering all the hype surrounding the video iPod and forthcoming PMP's I thought it worthwhile to review the significant existing digital entertainment capabilities of the Treo 600.

Consider that PalmOne expects the Treo line of products to account for more than 50% of its revenues by the end of fiscal 2005 (vs. only 20% for Apple's iPod). My position is that PalmOne will find it significantly easier to achieve this objective if it positions the Treo away from just a business tool to become a lifestyle device and thus of appeal to a much wider audience.
