NADAPC SCRAPS ICEBOX PLAYER

Article Abstract:

NadaPC has abandoned its planned combination countertop TV and DVD/CD player, under development in a joint venture with Samsung and CMi Worldwide, in favor of a different model with a slightly larger screen it will develop in-house. The Interactive Communication Entertainment Box (iCEBOX) would have had a nine-inch CRT-based TV with Internet access and be offered to consumers free in exchange for a three-year commitment to NadaPC's $21.95/mo ISP service. NadaPC states that CMi had trouble bringing the product to market fast enough to meet its expectations.

DIRECTV ALL-IN-ONE RECEIVER

Article Abstract:

DirecTV is developing a set-top box equipped with a hard drive that can receive its DirecTV satellite television service and at least three other services, including the TiVo personal-video-recording system, AOLTV and UltimateTV and possibly other Internet services. It will also include a gateway device for video-on-demand (VOD), although the 40GB hard drive may be too small for service offering a choice of 100 titles.
