Wi-Fi Photo Frame the New Trojan Horse?
Zatz Not Funny! —
... This year at CES I saw at least two digital frames (Kodak and GiiNii) drawing content from Web sources. Once Mom buys one of these frames to show off photos of little Jimmy, it’s only a short, logical step to using it for convenient weather updates, tips, horoscopes, sports scores, and more. Yes, we’re back to my favorite topic: the widget station.
Many companies are attempting to break open the widget-station market, from the Chumby makers, to Verizon and AT&T, to Logitech with its Harmony remotes (sort of) and even the ...
Evolution of the Verizon Hub
Zatz Not Funny! —
... It’s been a year and half since I first wrote about the Verizon Hub, but with launch date details finally confirmed (Feb 1), the Internet is all aflutter about this device. Tech specs are still fuzzy, but what we do know is that this is a POTS-based cordless phone system (plus VoIP) with a touchscreen for Internet access and integration with Verizon wireless phone services.

The Verizon Hub Has Been Discontinued
Zatz Not Funny! —
... Mari and I have been following the Verizon Hub, from its pre-release iterations through the product that ultimately shipped in February of this year. And I’m sad to say that Verizon has decided to pull the plug. The Hub was designed to be both an Internet-connected widget station and serve as the household VoIP hub with a bit of PIM functionality to sweeten the deal. It probably wasn’t the meh resistive touch screen that did it in but, rather and as I predicted, a failure of marketing and pricing. Requiring the Hub to be purchased solely ...
