Il a conclu un partenariat l'été dernier avec Intel pour mettre au point The Widget Channel, un framework applicatif permettant d'afficher des widgets et autres applications web (javascript, xml, Flash) sur une télé, pour peu que celle-ci embarque un processeur Intel CE3100 (cf. 1080p pour le couple CPU/GPU Intel CE3100). Il est intéressant de noter que cette architecture n'est pas fermée : Yahoo!
