if ePC (or UMPC) and a HD Internet TV are at the sample price.
What do you choice?
UMPC or MID (Mobile Internet Device) supports from 5 to 8 inch LCD.
But HDTV is about 35 to 47 inch TFT for the same functions (read email, surf webs, and skype (or chat) with your friends. If you stay at home, why you choice UMPC or low cost PC?
Microsoft knows the final run should be on TV. We should make some comparison between Apple TV and Microsoft TV.
What we can make a Open TV standard to compete with these 2 Giants.
Linux kernel 2.6
Google Android API + Opera browser 9.5 (with an Adobe flash 10 player)
IPTV middleware with DRM/CA
could be the one.
