PHXX's role is central to the actual managed OTT Telecom component of the service whereby we all appreciate Endavo's leadership role as well as role as licensing content aggregator, licensing DRM, and and the CDN services. We are all excited as Etisalat's service roll out into the broader region and generates a truly valuable service for the end-users! Peter,

]]> Comment on Google’s Schmidt Says Google TV Was a ‘Beta’ Version by Mark http://onlinereporter.com/2011/09/05/google%e2%80%99s-schmidt-says-google-tv-was-a-%e2%80%98beta%e2%80%99-version/#comment-1218 Mark Fri, 30 Sep 2011 22:01:44 +0000 http://onlinereporter.com/?p=446#comment-1218 All Google stuff is half baked, never finished when it puts it out on the market. For instance, if you were a developer of Android apps, you would see that even the apis that developers use are poorly written, half-baked, terrible code. But they still have a huge hit. They had many hits with their beta products like GMail and Google Docs. It is in their business model, and anyone who would think that they would change the way they work, especially for how much money they have, they won't. Funny thing, I have a Logitech Google TV and it was connected for a long time, but I never used it because it didn't give me anything new. Maybe a few video websites to watch videos that I couldn't get elsewhere. But with Amazon Prime streaming, I have renewed my want to use Google TV so that I can stream Amazon Prime through the Logitech. I don't have any other devices to stream Amazon, and I don't want to hook up my computer to my TV. Although when iOS 5 comes out with mirroring airplay, then maybe I won't need the Google TV anymore again. I enjoyed the article, by the way, and don't really disagree with what you wrote.
