The Sony Play Station Portable is a beautifully made piece of equipment with a 4.3 inch
screen, 16:9Wide screen TFT LCD that has 489 x 272 pixel, 16.77 million colors - basically its one sweet screen that seems perfect for downloaded movies and TV shows - so why, when Sony had the chance did they not take it and produce downloads? This is the question also being asked by Hollywood executives who are hoping that Sony will step up and become the competition they believe Sony can be and the competition they need Sony to be.
Currently Hollywood is a little worried about the stronghold Apple has over the digital movie and TV download market and it’s no wonder they want a little competition to help give them an edge especially as negotiations loom closer.

Appe TV is being touted as the iPod for TV as it builds a bridge between the TV and the computer. To put in
metaphorical terms, until Apple TV there have only been rope bridges that are hard to walk on and rickety at best - Apple has built a bridge that is made of tough cement and is strong and easy to cross.
Apple TV offers state-of-the-art 802.11n wireless networking and maintains backwords compatibility with older Wi-Fi and wired networks. Basically streaming from the PC to the TV is extremely smooth and effortless.
However there are some drawbacks - the major one being you can not just upload any video from your computer through your TV to Apple TV - similar to the iPod it only streams iTunes content and at the moment there is not a large amount of video available on iTunes with only Disney offering new movies. Also while capable of HD their is no HD content on the iTunes store, yet, so the video doesn’t look that great on the big screen. Also you must have a new wide-screen TV if you are going to purchase this product. Apple TV won’t connect to older non-wide-screen TV’s. No A/V cables are included as well as no internet radio support.

“No longer will production studios and record companies have to deal with Apple Computer if they want to sell to the exploding iPod market of which literally millions of video iPods and other similar devices have already been sold,†said Scott
Levine, PodDisc founder and President.
PodDisc is a new technology that will allow a portable copy of a movie to be made that then will allow for transfer to the iPod. One disc would record up to six full-length movies or a full television series.
The PodDisc would allow studios to bypass Apple and their licensing agreements while still getting out their movies to the growing iPod audience.
