I agree. I'm not against entrepreneurship per se but this industry suffers from a special breed of entremanures. It seems each new generation has a subset with a misplaced enthusiasm for Randism. If you have put yourself through a degree in

Kiwi here and the rumour is that this new venture breaks his parole so back to the little jail cell with a mouldy mattress for him. We're not fans of people that try and bribe/blackmail our politicians here.

As this price ($199~=$250NZ) they wont be able to make them fast enough which is exactly the kind of marketing MSFT needs. Lets say they lose $300 on each device. That means the can sell 80 million a year and still be profitable. That would

I have to agree. Despite being a fill-time C# programmer I spent many evenings trying to get something working in WP7. It was far easier (and more fun) to pick-up Java and start android programming.

The device itself plugs into the TV's HDMI slot and looks like an oversize memory stick. I then put in my home wifi details just like you would on a phone. Then with apps like kies you can link to any other android phone or vice versa. The

I'm confused. Why would you get one of these instead of an Android TV? My Android TV running ICS was only 135 $NZ and I got a wireless keyboard for 70 $NZ. Now my kids play Angry Birds Space and Justin Bieber videos on TV!
