It’s Friday, and because we’ve been talking DEMO all week, we discussed a few of the top news stories from the past 5 days instead.
Yesterday RIM announced deals with Slacker Music, Ticketmaster, MySpace, TiVo, and Microsoft. These “lifestyle apps” are apparently designed to ward off the threat from Apple. Is it enough?
We also discussed the choice of Yammer as the top prize at TechCrunch 50. Is the idea of “Twitter inside enterprise” a good idea?
It’s been a big week in music players. New iPods announced with colors and music discovery. At the same time, out comes a new Zune from Microsoft, with what by all accounts is a better music discovery system. We ask, did Microsoft get the upper hand?
On the Calliflower Conference Call: Bill Volk, Kevin Restivo, James Body, and Dan Rockwell.

Tivo follows ReplayTV‘s lead. Both of these are excellent products. I want one of them! My PC is jammed full of digital photo’s that I want to show on my spiffy HDTV in the media room. My home is wired with a network to allow me to do exactly that, including a network access point in the media room. Neither ReplayTV or Tivo, however, are available here in Canada. All we can get is Bell ExpressVu’s terrible 5100 unit. While living in the USA I bought both of ReplayTV’s first two generation products — the ReplayTV 1000, and the 3030. My ReplayTV is collecting dust because there is no guide service available here. I WANT MY REPLAYTV!!! Hellooo…. is anyone at SonicBlue listening?
TiVo wants to join the home network. The digital video recording service company announces new software that essentially allows recorders to access and share content on home networks.
