<p class="summary">The Torpedo Projector can project TV, computer games, photos and movies anywhere on a wall or ceiling.</p>
<h3>An Inexpensive Projector for Home Media</h3>
<p>Torpedo Game and Entertainment Projector enables you to project content from computers, DVD, TV and other media.  All you need for this projector is a power outlet and a large, blank wall or garage door.  While the output is not high definition, for around $170 it costs much less than other higher-resolution projectors.<br />
<span id="more-13217"></span><br />
The Torpedo Game and Entertainment Projector gives you a projection that is over six-foot diagonally projection, with a resolution of 960 by 240 pixels.</p>
<p>The Torpedo project works with:</p>
<ul>
<li>A home PC</li>
<li>TV (satellite, cable)</li>
<li>DVD players</li>
<li>Wii</li>
<li>X-Box</li>
<li>Nintendo</li>
<li>Playstation</li>
<li>Digital Cameras</li>
<li>iPod</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Other Details about the Torpedo Projector</h3>
<p>The Torpedo requires a 35 watt 3,000 hour halogen bulb that is included with the system, and which can easily be replaced if needed.</p>
<p>The unit also has built-in speakers and amplifier for audio from the TV or video game system, but it also offers an optional headphone jack if you want to hear the audio privately.</p>

<h3>Online Reviews of the Torpedo Projector</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/15/technology/personaltech/15projector.html?ex=1352869200&amp;en=1a2feddabad283d9&amp;ei=5124&amp;partner=digg&amp;exprod=digg">New York Times</a> ran a decent piece on this, identifying some of the key features offered with the Torpedo projector, pointing out that this runs considerably less than higher-resolution models.</p>
<p>Reviews on <a href="http://www.aboutprojectors.com/news/2007/11/28/torpedo-projector-reviewed/comment-page-2/#comment-37547">AboutProjector</a> were all over the board: some are legitimately happy with it, and others feel ripped off by an inferior product.</p>

<p class="summary">The R2-D2 Web Cam offers you your own Star Wars webcam droid with a lightsaber-style Skype-compatable phone.</p>
<h3>The Force is with this Webcam</h3>
<p>R2-D2 Webcam is controlled by a voice-enabled phone that looks like a Star Wars lightsaber.  Made to work with Skype, this is an impressive, albeit costly (around $350) and fun webcam for the die-hard Star Wars fan.</p>
<p>The R2-D2 webcam be used to record and playback digital movies, take snapshots or even monitor your room remotely.  The camera can tilt 72 degrees up and down, move forwards and in reverse, as well as turn a full 360 degrees.</p>
<h3>Other Features of R2-D2</h3>
<p>A clever feature of this webcam is that there are sensors on R2’s front leg that detect the edge of a table and automatically stops it from crashing to the floor, while also giving an audible warning.  Nice feature for those who bought this thing and don&#8217;t want to accidentally send it spiralling to the floor!<br />
<span id="more-12903"></span><br />
The camera is a 628 x 528 pixel, with Wi-Fi capabilities on this that allow you to control R2-D2’s movements and access the web camera from a laptop or a PC from virtually anywhere.  But I wonder, can it launch a lightsaber to you when you&#8217;re in a bind at Jabba&#8217;s palace while trying to rescue Han?</p>
<h3>Size Matters Not!</h3>
<p>Not quite &#8220;actual size&#8221; to the Star Wars films, this webcam measures 8 1/2-inches tall x 5 1/4-inches wide x 5 1/2-inches long, so it can fit reasonably on a desktop.</p>
<p>An additional note is that batteries are included with this webcam, and the Lightsaber VOIP/USB phone has a 14-day battery life in standby mode.</p>

<h3>Online reviews of the R2-D2 Webcam</h3>
<p>The wireless aspect of this camera was a hit with the folks at <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9675832-1.html">CNet</a>.  You can basically cruise it around as your own personal mobile spy camera. They also noted the built-in sensors to prevent crashes and falls (an ideal feature for an investment like this one.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.t3.com/news/rc-r2d2-star-wars-skype-phone-webcam?=35060">T3</a> liked that the software that comes with this R2 unit allows you to overlay different cockpits like the X-wing and the Millennium Falcon, to give the appearance of flying around in one of these spacecraft from the Star Wars universe.  This webcam really covered all the bases for the Star Wars fan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="summary"><img align="right" src="http://www.webtvwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Vudu-Wal-Mart-Logo.jpg" alt="Vudu Wal Mart Logo" title="Vudu Wal Mart Logo" width="242" height="162" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12927" />Connected TV platforms are growing in number as everyone tries to grab a piece of the emerging Web video sector. Vudu, up to now a distinct also-ran, has increased its chances of standing out from the crowd by being acquired by budget retailer Wal-Mart.</p>
<h3>Vudu</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/goto/vudu/">Vudu</a> is one of the many companies which started out offering <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/vudu-99-for-99-movies-on-demand-first-porn-films-now-bargain-bucket-offerings/">a set-top box</a> for serving Web video to consumers. When that strategy didn&#8217;t work, it became one of <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/can-bbc-project-canvas-possibly-succeed-when-connected-tv-platforms-are-everywhere/">the many companies</a> which switched to focusing on software rather than hardware.</p>
<p>This means Vudu&#8217;s service is now included on a number of other Web-connected devices instead, including televisions and Blu-ray players. The Wal-Mart deal will inevitably affect deals in place with Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Sharp, and Toshiba, but quite how isn&#8217;t clear.</p>
<p><span id="more-12923"></span></p>
<h3>Wal-Mart</h3>
<p>Wal-Mart is one of the largest chain of department stores in the States. It also operates under different names outside of the U.S.</p>
<p>This acquisition of Vudu isn&#8217;t the company&#8217;s first attempt at offering video streaming. In 2007, Wal-Mart began to offer customers TV and movie downloads <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/128790/walmart_enters_digital_video_market_with_hp_service.html">in partnership</a> with Hewlett Packard. But it wasn&#8217;t successful, and the service <a href="http://paidcontent.org/article/419-wal-mart-cancels-video-download-service-hp-says-wasnt-worth-powering/">was stopped</a> just a year a later.</p>
<h3>Wal-Mart Acquires Vudu</h3>
<p>After months of speculation concerning an acquisition of Vudu, Wal-Mart has bitten the bullet and done a deal. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/23/technology/23video.html?partner=rss&#038;emc=rss">The New York Times</a> reports that Wal-Mart beat the likes of Best Buy, Amazon, Comcast, and EchoStar to grab Vudu.</p>
<p>No details of the deal have been revealed, but <a href="http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20100222/vudu-convinces-wal-mart-to-pay-up-why-an-also-ran-web-movie-service-sold-for-more-than-100-million/">MediaMemo</a> is claiming Wal-Mart will pay in excess of $100 million for Vudu. Vudu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wal-Mart but continue to develop its App Platform.</p>
<p>Eduardo Castro-Wright, vice-chairman for Walmart, <a href="http://walmartstores.com/FactsNews/NewsRoom/9661.aspx">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The real winner here is the customer. Combining VUDU&#8217;s unique digital technology and service with Walmart&#8217;s retail expertise and scale will provide customers with unprecedented access to home entertainment options as they migrate to a digital environment.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3>Conclusions</h3>
<p>Wal-Mart is taking a bit of a gamble with Vudu, especially paying the kind of money being reported. There&#8217;s no doubt this is a brilliant time to enter this market but whether Vudu is the right option remains to be seen.</p>
<p>What is clear, however, is that both companies will benefit from the deal, at least in the short-term.</p>

<h3>Various Slingbox Solo Feedback from Online</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VXKD8K/?tag=webtvwire-20">Amazon</a> reviews of this device are fascinating in how some praise it as wondering while several others label it as  &#8220;the worst product ever&#8221; (worse than Betamax?)</p>
<p><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/video-players-and-recorders/sling-media-slingbox-solo/4505-6463_7-32625233.html?tag=mncol;lst">CNET&#8217;s</a> review identified this as a nice choice for those who need HD compatibility, or pass-through outputs, but don&#8217;t need the extra features of the Slingbox Pro&#8217;s multiple device control.  Reviewers like on Amazon were just a mixed in the praises, some stating that it worked as expected, and others saying that the device never worked properly.</p>

<p class="summary">The NinjaTV remote allows you take control of up to 500 brands of televisions discretely, just like a ninja!</p>
<h3>Remote Television Control from a Keychain?</h3>
<p>The NinjaTV remote device, that fits conveniently on a keychain, allows you to take control of television sets at virtually any location, including the power, the channel, the volume, and even volume controls.</p>
<p>For someone stuck in an auto mechanic shop and forced to watch &#8216;Oprah&#8217; on an inaccessible ceiling-mounted television set (not that this has ever happened to me personally) having such a device could present some interesting potential, giving you the ability to change channels at whim.</p>
<h3>History of the Ninja and Remote Television Control</h3>
<p>The Swamiware site, makers of the NinjaTV remote, offer an interesting insight into the design behind the NinjaTV remote.  With a tongue-in-cheek nod to ancient history, we learn that&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-12173"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;&#8230;Around 794 A.D. the wealthy regularly feuded and required intelligence and assassination of their detractors. The Ninja was born. His skill and exactness desired. Ninjas flourished and legendary figures were born. Ninjas brought justice to an otherwise unjust world.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And now somehow, that need for justice has seen its modern day translation in situations of folks being stuck at a bank with figure skating on the flat screen behind the tellers, unable to change the channel (or adjust the volume).  Hence the arrival of the NinjaTV stealth remote.</p>
<h3>Tech Details Behind the Ninja</h3>
<p>Within this tiny device the Ninja Remote is powered by a 16-bit RISC, with infrared micro-controller (MCU) technology and very low power consumption.  The development of this ninja weapon took over three years, according to the manufacturer&#8217;s site.</p>
<p>Also per the site this product will work on NTSC, PAL, and SECAM televisions.</p>
<h3>Reviews of Other Online Ninjas</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P631PU/?tag=webtvwire-20">Amazon</a> had a mixed bag of reviewer comments: some praising the brilliance of this device, while others knocked it for not working on certain televisions.  Having personally suffered with non=programmable remotes in the recent past, I know all to well that there can be frustrations getting some remotes to work with certain televisions, so there might be something to this.</p>
<p>As a curious side-note, the Swamiware site, in addition to the ninja remote, also features an obscure lineup of additional products such as iPhone apps, USB polygraph machines, foam missile launchers and, oddly, a back hair shaver(?)</p>

Apple is expected to launch its new Tablet PC [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="summary"><img align="right" src="http://www.webtvwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Apple-Tablet-PC.jpg" alt="Apple Tablet PC" title="Apple Tablet PC" width="220" height="149" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12165" />As Apple prepares to launch its next big thing in the Apple Tablet, it&#8217;s reportedly keen to strike a deal with U.S. television networks which would see the price of TV episodes cut in half. Could the Apple Tablet be about to revolutionize online video?</p>
<h3>Apple Tablet Imminent</h3>
<p>Apple is expected to launch its new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/the-apple-tablet-a-complete-history-supposedly/">Tablet PC</a> &#8211; likely to be called the iSlate or the iPad &#8211; at a special media event tomorrow (Jan. 27). The Tablet is being touted as a revolution in home computing and in the way we will consume media in the future. </p>
<p>But pricing is going to be the key to this vision becoming reality. And that doesn&#8217;t just mean the pricing of the Apple Tablet, but also the pricing of the content <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/category/companies/apple/">Apple</a> is expecting to be read, viewed, listened to, and played on the device.</p>
<p><span id="more-12159"></span></p>
<h3>TV on iTunes</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/6fef5014-0a1a-11df-8b23-00144feabdc0.html?nclick_check=1">The FT</a> is reporting that Apple is seeking a deal with the big TV networks in the States. Most episodes of TV series are currently priced at $1.99 on iTunes, but Apple is thought to want to slash the price to just 99 cents.</p>
<p>This is because TV currently only plays a minor role in the success of iTunes, with music being the big seller. Apple struck a deal with the music industry in 2003 which saw individual songs go on sale for 99 cents apiece. And business has since skyrocketed.</p>
<p>Talk of <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/apple-eyeing-itunes-tv-subscription-plan-30-per-month-offering-could-challenge-cable/">a monthly subscription service</a> is also continuing but doesn&#8217;t seem to getting very far. <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/category/companies/hulu/">Hulu</a> might actually beat Apple to it.</p>
<h3>Apple Tablet?</h3>
<p>The Tablet PC is expected to be a cross between the iPhone and a laptop, with one large touchscreen, a new version of the iPhone OS, and the capability to browse the Web and be an all-in-one multimedia device on the go.</p>
<p>Apple clearly wants to make it the only device anyone needs to read newspapers and books on, listen to music on, and watch TV and films on. All while on the move and connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.</p>
<h3>Network Interference</h3>
<p>The networks are thought to be resistant to these pricing changes, worried that they will see less revenue and that they would adversely affect numbers and demand on traditional broadcast television.</p>
<p>However, as <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/category/companies/apple/">Apple</a> has explained, price cuts would likely ramp up demand on iTunes, and help combat piracy. The fact is that piracy would almost <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/mpaa-war-on-piracy-becomes-content-protection-no-attempt-at-improving-legal-alternatives/">disappear overnight</a> were consumers being asked to pay a fair price for content.</p>

<p class="summary">The Ipevo P2V (point to view) USB webcam from Ipevo is a USB camera that gives you a wide number of mounting options, including monitor clamp, adjustable stand and a hand-held option.</p>
<h3>What is the Ipevo P2V?</h3>
<p>The Ipevo P2V is a desktop/laptop 2 Megapixel USB web camera giving you a quality picture with a number of convenient mounting options.  The P2V can be clipped to the top of a laptop, attached to an articulated stand, and also held in your hand like a small flashlight.</p>
<p>The camera gives you a continuous or single-click autofocus video option.  The one-touch snapshot option with the webcam can also be revised and fixed up with the software that comes with the camera.</p>
<h3>Additional Features of the Ipevo P2V</h3>
<p>The Ipevo is a plug and play available for both Mac and PC and can be integrated with a number of IM applications such as Skype, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and AOL.<br />
<span id="more-11500"></span><br />
The P2V aslo features a full auto focus lens with up to 5 cm macro focus and 3x digital zoom. It can also record 640×480 video at 30fps.</p>
<h3>Camera Stand Variability</h3>
<p>The handheld option is an interesting one, granting you the ability to hold the camera in your hand like a small pen.  Unfortunately, the camera is limited to the reach of the USB cabling, so the novelty of this is restricted to only be able to film items within the reach of the USB cable.</p>
<p>Of course the user can opt to use the sturdy stand to mount the camera.  The stand offers three connection pins for even more variability in how the camera is mounted.  And if you prefer, you can always just clamp the camera to the top of your monitor.</p>

<h3>Reviews and Feedback for the iPEVO P2V Webcam</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.everythingusb.com/ipevo-p2v-usb-webcam-18262.html">EverythingUSB</a> did a very comprehensive (and helpful) write-up about this camera, including numerous images of both the camera and images taken with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/review-ipevo-point-to-view-usb-camera-p2v-20091228/  ">Geek.com</a> included a good overview of the camera with some helpful videos of the camera in action.  Most of these reviews were favorible to the camera, but they did knock it for its cost, as well as its lack of a built-in microphone.</p>

<p class="summary">The new Iomega Screenplay Director HD media player is an internet TV and  home network set top box that offers HD online movies, YouTube &amp; web TV,  and access to media stored on devices on your home network.</p>
<p>The device replaces the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DCE67C/?tag=webtvwire-20">old Screenplay TV  link</a> which came out in 2008. I got a hands-on look at the new media box while  at <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/ces-2010-coverage/">CES 2010</a> and it  certainly delivers on what it promises with a very reasonable price tag.</p>
<p>You can watch HD movies purchased or rented from <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/goto/cinemanow/">Cinema Now</a>, an online movie  rental service similar to iTunes and Amazon Video-on-Demand.</p>
<p>Other online content includes YouTube, Flickr, Internet radio, RSS feeds, or  podcasts, all accessible through the easy-to-use user interface and remote. Check out the GUI in the video below:</p>
<div class="aligncenter"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-ev8E3CeEx0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-ev8E3CeEx0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div>
<p><img src="http://www.webtvwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iomega-screenplay-director-remote-control.jpg" alt="iomega-screenplay-director-remote-control" title="iomega-screenplay-director-remote-control" width="450" height="166" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11772" /><br />
It also comes with a healthy 1TB internal drive and uou can also hook up  additional storage via the 3 USB ports.</p>
<p><span id="more-11768"></span></p>
<h3>Home Network Media</h3>
<p>The HD Media Player also gives you access to videos and  media on your home network in a wide variety formats.</p>
<p>It can connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and has DLNA support  making watching videos across your home network relatively seamless.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for WI-FI wireless access you&#8217;ll need to  purchase the Iomega 802.11n Wireless Adapter separately or one of the following  supported USB Wi-Fi devices which can be hard to get hold of:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000636JD8/?tag=webtvwire-20">Trendnet       TEW424UB</a> (USB)</li>
<li>Edimax       EW-7316UG (11g USB)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KI8RKC/?tag=webtvwire-20">Encore       ENUWI-G</a> (USB dongle)</li>
</ul>
<p>You could try your luck with another USB Wi-Fi device but  quite often they&#8217;ve been reported not to work.</p>
<p>Wi-Fi networks tend be a bit sluggish for copying large  files and playing HD anyway so you may want to look into a <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?campid=5336394181&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3Dhomeplug%2Bethernet%26_sacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.m270.l1313%26_odkw%3Dhome%2Bplug%2Badapter%26_osacat%3D0">home  plug adapter</a> or <a href="http://www.webtvwire.com/ethernet-to-coax/">CoAX  adapter</a> to extend your internet connection. These are usually offer a faster  and more reliable connection compared to Wi-Fi, but are more expensive.</p>

<li>1TB       storage included</li>
<li>Rent       movies online and YouTube access</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cons</h3>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Needs       separate adapter for Wi-Fi support</li>
<li>Would       like to see more online TV and internet features</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bottom Line</h3>
<p>Retailing at $250 the Iomega Screenplay Director HD (model  number 34650) is a healthy price when you consider the 1TB storage included (an  external Iomega 1TB hard drive is typically $100 or more).</p>
<p>With full HD support, ability to watch videos on the home  network, and online TV, movie rentals and internet functions it has a good  amount to offer. Lack of built-in Wi-Fi is a real shame though.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="aligncenter"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10666" title="ZeeVee ZvBox - View online content from your computer on your HDTV" src="http://www.webtvwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ZeeVee-ZvBox.jpg" alt="ZeeVee ZvBox - View online content from your computer on your HDTV" width="280" height="280" /></div>
<p class="summary">The ZeeVee ZvBox allows you to watch streaming online content from your computer on your home HDTV with a remote control.</p>
<h3>What the ZeeVee System is All About</h3>
<p>ZeeVee ZvBox allows you to stream any HD content from your computer to your HDTVs.  It&#8217;s a clever system in which the computer broadcasts into the television via an unused cable channel.</p>
<p>Once running, you can basically sit on your couch and use the ZeeVee remote to view online content from your PC.  Various sources of ZeeVee ZvBox content from your computer can include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Streaming television content from major networks, most in HD (e.g. shows from ABC online like &#8216;Lost&#8217;)</li>
<li>Movie download services, like NetFlix and iTunes</li>
<li>The computer&#8217;s DVD player, that can be controlled by the remote with any of your HDTVs</li>
<li>Content from YouTube and BitTorrent peer-to-peer sites</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-10667"></span></p>
<h3>Using the ZeeVee System</h3>
<p>Using the remote control with the system, surfing the web becomes a lot easier.  The ZvBox gives you access to watching any number of online TV shows and films, stream music with iTunes, browse the web or even check your email.  Being able to do this from your HDTV is a convenient novelty.</p>
<div class="aligncenter"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10668" title="Another look at the ZeeVee ZvBox" src="http://www.webtvwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ZeeVee-ZvBox-2.jpg" alt="Another look at the ZeeVee ZvBox" width="200" height="133" /></div>
<p>Setup seems pretty straight-forward: Your computer basically just needs to be hooked up to your existing in-home TV cable wiring, and doesn&#8217;t interfere with regular cable-based broadband services.</p>
<h3>Video Review of the ZeeVee ZvBox</h3>
<div class="aligncenter"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EiFSmZyDF1M&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EiFSmZyDF1M&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<h3>Online Reviews of the ZeeVee ZvBox</h3>
<p>The reviews I read were more or less favorable to this system.  <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2331346,00.asp">PC Magazine</a> praised the device&#8217;s ability to display high-definition video from PCs to TVs throughout your house, with no limitations or monthly fees, but they also ripped into the expensive of the system and the complex setup required, as well as the fact that the system isn&#8217;t compatable with Mac and Linux.</p>
<p>Reviews from <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/video-components/zeevee-zvbox-zv-100/4505-3025_7-32983727.html">CNET</a> said mostly the same thing, that the system is good in that you can watch web or tv-based video around the house on multiple TVs, but also noted the expensive price as well as it&#8217;s setup complexity.</p>
