Where are you TiVo? Please Talk to Opera and Get with the Sofa Web
Om Malik at GigaOM discusses the new game consoles and the contribution they might make to Internet browsing. He refers to it as the “sofa web.” It’s good reading.
He also discusses how Opera has been good at recognizing opportunities in the mobile market and is now going after the game console market.
As much as I like to see Om talk about this, it makes me sad that TiVo is not even considered in the conversation, not that they deserve to. I feel that TiVo has really dropped the ball when it comes to being the box that integrates the Internet, PCs, Audio, Video, DVR, and TV in the living room. Everything was there from the head start in the living room to the easily customizable linux-based platform on which TiVo software sits.
Perhaps TiVo and Opera need to be talking.
