I have been playing around with this little treasure and I’m finding it to be very useful, both in “cool new toy” capacity and in situations like on the subway when I’m really wanting to blast away to somewhere else. I’ve done some investigation into Xfinity and although it does turn your phone into a remote control, it does not offer live TV which is definately a plus for DISH Network!

If you’re planning on watching a lot of TV or movies on your iPad I would suggest investing in the TabGrip. It’s got handles and legs that make it way easier to watch online. Plus they have a 30% off sale until tomorrow (tabgrip.com) which makes it $34.99. Not too shabby!

That’s going to be a problem as it needs to roll out value-added services tied to online video.

Hmmm… Wasn’t there just a dispute between someone and Level3 because of Netflix increased video traffic… Oh wait, it was Comcast. :)

Seriously, I wish DIrecTV would do this with their OnDemand content.
