I didn’t know what Joost was so, like all people who are not completely lazy, I did a Google search and found the official website of this lovely word and got the answer to my question:
“Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet. With Joost, you get all the things you love about TV, including a high-quality full-screen picture, hundreds of full-length shows and easy channel-flipping.”
Awesome. So digging around some more, I soon realised that this will be a huge competitor to YouTube. With the right marketing ‘young’ fan base from the get-go, this could really take off. Not to mention it has instant messaging, it’s free and you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want as many times as you want. Could it be any better?
Well, yes, and that’s why they are in the process of making it possible for people to make their own add-ons for the program. Joost is a program you download and install and then you can simply watch TV. At the moment, Joost is in Beta which means it’s not fully complete and they’re just testing it. The only way to download and use Joost at the moment, is to get an invite from an exisiting user.
In future, maybe there will be an HDJoost or Joost HD. I’m sure there will be as bandwidth demand increases over the next few years, and depending upon the success of Joost. Although, I bet a Joost HD would not be free from the get-go.
So, get emailing everybody and see who’s secretly signed up. Oh, and send me an invite too. Muchas gracias! Check out the link for more information:

South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung are due to release a dual format next-generation DVD player. This news comes after Samsung rival, LG, released a player which is capable of playing both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats.
Samsung have announced their player will support both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats as well as their interactive technologies, BD-Java and HDi, which they are calling its ‘Duo HD’ player. Samsung executive Vice President Dongsoo Jun is quoted as saying: “Consumers are hungry for more HD content but are currently confused about competing formats. Samsung’s Duo HD player will allow consumers access to every HD movie title available regardless of the authoring format. Samsung is committed to making life simpler through technology and will market next generation DVD products which will satisfy the consumer and market requirement. This is a big win for the consumer.”
The move has been welcomed by Ron Sanders, president of Warner Home Video as another solution that will reduce consumer confusion during the battle of both formats.
Personally, I think this move is a good move but, better still, would be an agreement amongst all companies to end the war and stop confusing people, losing consumer confidence and put back a little more honesty into big corporations. Did they learn nothing from the Betamax/VHS war?

BRAVIA high-resolution image processors can reproduce a much wider range of colours than conventional TVs, so you can appreciate nature’s full palette – every green in grass, every white in snow and each rich hue of red in a steak.
The more line of pixels in the picture, the higher the resolution and the better the picture quality. That’s why we doubled the number of vertical lines for BRAVIA LCD TVs and, unlike some other manufacturers, doubled the number of horizontal lines too.
Converting to analogue can muddle TV signals, so BRAVIA high-resolution image processors always keep the signal digital. The result is a stable, clear and accurate picture, even with fast-moving objects, for example the cyclists in the Tour de France.
Why?
Inch for inch, Sony’s LCD TVs may be slightly dearer than other flat-screen formats like plasma, but the picture quality is better, they use less power, give you a wider viewing angle and last longer. From 23 inch up, they have integrated digital tuners and from 26 inch up, they are HD ready, they are also easy to connect to a set-top box and other HD devices – that’s thanks to HDMI. You really get what you pay for.

You can tell a good TV by the way it reproduces colour. That’s why Sony developed its own high-resolution image processors – and fitted them in every TV in the ground-breaking new BRAVIA LCD range. These processors put every pixel of every image through a five-stage perfecting process to deliver colours and quality no other TV can match.
V Series
With our flat-panel V series BRAVIA TVs, it’s hard to say what impresses the most, the slim design or the dramatic visuals driven by our acclaimed high-resolution image processors. We’ll let you be the judge. Thanks to the versatile swivel display we know you’ll get a good view of both, wherever you choose to sit. All V Series models are digital switchover compliant with integrated FREEVIEW tuners and they’re also HD ready.
Sony Bravia LCD TV
Sony BRAVIA LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) televisions combine slim, flat-screen design with outstanding picture quality. But what makes a BRAVIA LCD set so special? It’s high-resolution image processors ensure that our entire range of BRAVIA LCD TVs match the clarity and the brightness of the very best Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) sets, but without the bulk – an LCD TV can be twice as slim as an equivalent CRT set. What’s more, most of our LCD models are digital switchover compliant with integrated FREEVIEW tuners and also meet the High Definition of ‘HD’ ready standard (in fact, you can watch High Definition TV from 26 inch and above).
