Posts Tagged “hd”Onkyo just announced their updated line of A/V networked receivers, the TX-NR1008, 808 and 708 models update the previous 1007, 807 and 707 models. These “networked” receivers feature ethernet ports for accessing your computers media files and internet streaming sites. The new models feature HDMI 1.4, iPod/iPhone compatible USB port, and new onscreen display. Reports of retailers clearing out the xx07 models are being reported. This weekend I was fascinated with the coverage of the next iPhone. Many pictures and videos were produced of a product that many are feeling is a misplaced prototype of the iPhone that will be launched in June. What’s amazing is not so much the iPhone itself, but the story about the coverage, the “exclusives” and the inevitable backlash from Apple that this all happened. First it was the Engadget exclusive pictures, and a confirmation that the iPhone was in a previous leak picture of the iPad. Then Gizmodo launched a full review of the product – they had it in their hands (albeit disabled from Apple). Finally tonight Gizmodo spilled the beans on how they came to get the device (leaving out the crucial detail if they paid for the phone or not). It’s a soap opera. UPDATE: Apple has asked for it back – meaning they claim ownership of the device – meaning it’s real. UPDATE 2: David Letterman posted this to his “Excuses of the Guy Who Lost His iPhone Prototype.”
