Google seems to be having quite a difficult time keeping every Android user on the same upgrade path. Some devices are still shipping with version 1.6, and carriers can't seem to sync up their Android 2.2 "Froyo" rollouts. Everyone seems to be using a different version, making it difficult for developers to know which version they should cater to. Dell's Streak is an oddball device to begin with. It's too big to be considered a "smart phone," yet too small to be a full-scale tablet. But it's not too odd for

Philips Shuts Down Pronto Universal Remote Line
Logitech, you're on your own now. Philips, which has been a major competitor in the home theater space for years, has just shut down a prominent part of that division: Pronto. Any home cinema buff would be familiar with that name, as that's the name of the company's universal remote control line. It was widely viewed as the main rival to Logitech's Harmony remote line, and with Pronto gone, there's a huge gap in that sector that now needs filled. Insiders would know that Philips has actually been struggling

Canesta Purchased By Microsoft: Natural Interfaces Coming To Windows?
Microsoft's clearly interested in motion sensing. The Kinect add-on for the Xbox 360 is proof of that. But things may not be stopping in the gaming world. It's clear that user interfaces are changing. Apple has already introduced a Magic Trackpad for desktop use, and a bunch of new touch panel all-in-one machines are on the market. And with tablets, we're using our fingers more than ever rather than mice and keyboards. Microsoft knows that the industry won't remain the same forever, and they're making acquisitions

Fox Returns To Cablevision, Prices Likely To Rise
One of the most public disputes between a media company and a cable company has finally come to a close. For the past 14 days, News Corp. and Cablevision have been battling over license fees. The main problem was the distribution of Fox, a network which hosts many Sunday NFL games, and this week, the MLB World Series. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Fox is obviously a major channel, and a great many of Cablevision's subscribers were missing out on content for 14 whole days. Rarely do these disputes lead

Philips Shuts Down Pronto Universal Remote Line
Logitech, you're on your own now. Philips, which has been a major competitor in the home theater space for years, has just shut down a prominent part of that division: Pronto. Any home cinema buff would be familiar with that name, as that's the name of the company's universal remote control line. It was widely viewed as the main rival to Logitech's Harmony remote line, and with Pronto gone, there's a huge gap in that sector that now needs filled.
Insiders would know that Philips has actually been struggling to find a buyer for the Pronto remote line since 2009. They haven't been successful in the search, so they're simply shutting it down and saying that Pronto "no longer fits with the Philips strategy." Here's the official line: "In December 2009, Philips announced the intention to relocate some of its existing remote control activities in Leuven, Belgium to Asia. At the same time, the intention was communicated to investigate alternative strategic options for the Pronto business, as this activity no longer fits with the Philips strategy. Following thorough research, no suitable partner was found for the acquisition of these activities. As such, Philips confirms today that it will discontinue the Pronto product line and related activities."
This is definitely a big loss for home theater buffs. It's hard to imagine a remote landscape without the Pronto, and by the sound of it, existing owners may not be catered for much longer. After-purchase support is critical in a market where universal remotes need new codes to handle new equipment, so it will be interesting to see how Philips responds to service requests from here on out. If you're thinking of starting a remote business to challenge Logitech, now looks like a great time.

It's also compact and fanless, which leads to near-silent operation. No pricing information is available yet, but with a niche device like this, we suspect it will be expensive.
