Another Convergence Device: Will This One Succeed?
Friday, January 4, 2008 14:32It might seem like they’ve come full circle, but the movie injection method has gone from TV to mail to online download to
TV on demand. Netflix and LG are betting it’s going to be a hit.
They’re also betting you will want to buy yet another device for your home theater. A Wall Street Journal article notes: “The partnership between Netflix, Los Gatos, Calif., and South Korea’s LG represents another gamble by technology companies that video from the Internet, which is commonly downloaded to personal computers, will go mainstream when users can easily access it from TV sets. So far, Internet television products such as Apple Inc.’s Apple TV have largely been unsuccessful, stymied by a poor selection of videos, complexity of use and other
shortcomings.”
