Akimbo’s content problems

Mercury News: Akimbo claims the image quality of its library is equivalent to VHS videotapes. I found that to be only partly true. The bigger problem, however, is the lack of compelling programs. I did a rough tally last week and found only about 140 hours of programming in English available on Akimbo, less than the capacity of the player’s hard drive.
