How Hulu Made Ditching Hulu Plus Easy

I’m a bit of a content junky and a big supporter of online streaming content.  I see it as a path to full on IPTV and I enjoy having a ton of content on demand at all times.  The freedom to watch what you want, when you want is great.
This is the whole reason I was happy when I received my Hulu Plus invite a little over two weeks ago.  Getting a chance to try out the paid service was something I was hoping for.  I had hammered it a …

My Movies 3 iPhone app now available

On Saturday I received the latest newsletter from My Movies 3 creator Brian Binnerup and there was some great news included for iPhone and iPod Touch users.  My Movies now has it’s own iPhone app which will allow you to not only view your collection on your device but add to it as well.  Never again be at the store and wonder whether or not you already bought ‘Space Jam’! 
You’ll find all the relevant screenshots here but I can tell you from using the app for the …

Streaming and remote control of Media Center with iPod/iPhone

Since buying an iPod Touch, I’ve been seeking ways to integrate the device into our media system.  Being a Microsoft Windows Media Center user, you wouldn’t think this would be very easy but as it turns out, there are several options that will not only allow you to stream content to a Touch/iPhone but remote control your HTPC as well.  I was pleasantly surprised at the number of apps available to turn your portable device into a full use remote control.  I’ve used two so far and you’ll find all …

Scosche readies new iPhone and iPod accessories for CES

While Apple may shun CES in favor of their own show later in January, that isn’t going to stop Scosche, one of the better know accessory makers, from showing off at the annual event starting on January 7th.
Scosche is bringing a great range of products to the show including the tapSTICK, a protective cover for the Shuffle with a three-button design for playback. 
The company will also be bringing the reviveLITE II, an iPhone/iPod charger which features an additional USB port for charging additional devices.  The reviveLITE II also …

Napster Looks to Crack The UK and Take on Spotify

Apparently the iPhone is a niche product.  At least according to Napster it is.  The company is looking to dethrone Spotify in The UK and thinks that pricing is all they need.  With new plans starting at £5, half of what Spotify charges for premium service, Napster is hoping that no ads and the ability to keep five tracks a month will draw users.
Where the problem comes in is that other than the five tracks you get to keep, the £5/month Napster plan will only let you listen …

New iPhone/iPod Touch Media Center App Approved

If you’re one of the millions of iPhone or iPod Touch users out there who also happens to use Windows Media Center at home, your life just may have gotten a bit easier.
Kumatek announced earlier this week that Apple has approved the Ncontrol app for their touch devices.  Ncontrol will allow you to use your iPhone or Touch as a remote control for your Media Center as well as extenders.
Not being an iPhone or iPod Touch owner, I can’t say how well the app works but it’s nice to …

Keep ALL your iPods Up To Date

Filed under the “who would ever need this” category comes the Parasync 20 iPod/iPhone charger and sync station.  Why any individual would ever need a device like this is beyond me but I have to say that after thinking about it for awhile, I guess if your business decides to provide all of the employees with iPhones which remain on company property it could come in handy.  Of course then you have to ask why you’re providing your employees with phones that have to stay in the building, but …

Creative Zii Officially Launched, Not for You

Awhile back there was a story about Creative shooting an application across the FCC’s big desk.  Now it appears as though they have something to actually show us.
The Creative Zii Egg has launched and you can have a 32GB version for around $400 but don’t look for it to be the perfect portable media player.  That $400 is covering the SDK, the device is free.  The touch-screen, HD device is a developers edition that Creative is hoping developers will run with.
The Android driven device features multi-touch, HD video playback …
