zeebox - the new way to watch television
So, zeebox can do some pretty amazing things. But that's not all, not even close. Say you're watching Stephen Fry plugging his new book.
iPad-enabled shopping carts designed for live sports | Springwise
Hard on the heels of our story about IKEA’s “Mänland” initiative in Australia comes word of yet another retail effort focused primarily on men. The setting this time is a Sainsbury’s grocery store in London, where a partnership with television provider Sky is allowing shoppers to watch key sports events while they shop using in-cart iPad docks and speakers. The new Sky Go trolley, being tested in the Cromwell Road Sainsbury’s store in West London, comes complete with a tilting iPad holder and speakers along with an onboard battery with self-charging solar panel. All sports-minded shoppers need do is download the Sky Go streaming app onto their tablet and then load it into the shopping cart’s dock. From there they can keep up with all the latest Sky Sports News live while they do their shopping.
LONDON: Consumers in the UK are adopting an increasingly diverse range of mobile habits, from browsing the web while on the move to using their phone when watching TV. Industry body the IAB and research firm Connect Insight asked 500 people who regularly utilise applications and the internet, or download content, via handsets to keep a "media diary" for a week. Simultaneous media use is another widespread habit, given that 70% of the sample deployed a mobile at the same time as being exposed to a different medium. This is most commonly the case for TV, as 53% of those polled leveraged mobile media while viewing television broadcasts between 9pm and midnight. From 6am to 9am, the mobile information of greatest interest concerned finance, weather and travel, a position held by entertainment, shopping and maps in the 3pm to 6pm slot.

This is nice. I've been thinking recently that TV screens are very bad at the kind of interactivity that is required for navigating through content. I suspect that this kind of second screen navigational approach will eventually win out over highly interactive on-screen interfaces.
