Difficult now. Easy soon. With thousands of more choices than HD.


No brainer.


You remind me of Sony trying to hock their PS3 Boondoggle. "Yeah it
costs $700, but it's got outstanding technology! And it can play Blu-
ray movies too! And cook your breakfast! People will WANT to work
overtime to buy this thing."

Promises, promises.

But the PS3 is still in third place (behind Xbox360 and Nintendo) &
losing a lot of money & driving down Sony's stock. You can have the
best "gadget" in the world, but it doesn't matter if the consumer
doesn't want it.


You're just a technophobe who still, after all these years, can't come
to terms with the internet and what it means. There are already
thousands of internet stations streaming audio, and there already
millions of people listening to them. This isn't something that's
going to happen tomorrow. It's happening right now, under your nose
and apparently to your displeasure. As soon as Wimax is deployed--and
there's no doubt whatsoever that this will happen--it's all over. You
can deny the advance of technology and you can deny the inevitable,
but your denials won't make one whit of difference.
