TV
17 Sunday June 2007 Filed in: Apple
My father (soon 84 years of age) just bougth an
TV to complement the big Samsung flat screen TV
he has had for some months now. He has said that
to make the flat screen usable he must be able to
move his pictures from his computer to the TV
wireless. At first I did not think this would be
such a hit, but now after installing it for him I
have changed my mind a bit. Well to see his
photos of all the stuff he does in the
workshop/garage in the daytime at the big 42 inc
flat screen was nice, also the screen saving
feature where the pictures floats around in 3d is
quit impressing.
Also the fact that here in Sweden we don't have that much content to buy from iTunes Music Store made me doubt that the TV would be any hit. But I have change my mind. Even if we cant buy TV shows and movies here like in the States there is something called Podcasts that lights our screens. After been downloading and subscribing content from the swedish broadcasting company SVT both me and my father was happy to see that this little flat box is certainly making itself useful. ow my father can work in his workshop and still be able to watch new, weather and nature programs even if he is not in front of the tube when they go live.
The setup was easier than even most Apple stuff and way ahead of anything coming from the shops that sells TV,video, phones. Choose language and airport and you are running. Nice.
I think that when there is an TV with DVD/BlueRay disc burner I will buy one.
