I bet that's exactly what Blackberry thought right before the iPhone came out, too. Not saying it will be that level of game changer (or that it even exists), but I think we've seen incumbents are notoriously bad at predicting when a new technology or competitor is about to take their business away from them.
- jws 14y agoIt's probably also what Sega and Sony said before Pippin[1] came out. I think there is room for a game change. From the juggling of remotes, to the horrific user interfaces[2], and just plain broken device interfaces[3]. The industry tolerates user abuse. EOM [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Bandai_Pippin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Bandai_Pippin [2] Toggling subtitles in less than 18 remote presses would be a nice feature. I'm looking at you AT&T. [3] If I have had the same TV plugged into the same DVR for 2 years, it probably should stop choosing random resolutions and aspect ratios and just stick with the one I move it back to three times a week. Also 10 seconds seems like a long time to switch from one HDMI input to another. Audio that is synchronized to the picture, like in 1950, would be pretty cool too.
