Nintendo might have the upper hand here because of the the Wii remote but I’m sure other controllers will come and offer different UI’s .Who knows in 10 years we will be talking about Holograms in a our Lounge rooms instead of a novelty on CNN or at a big splashy conference with Al Gore or Bill Gates .

I predict that in 10 years most devices will connect to the Internet wirelessly via WiMax. Your handheld device, television, pc, etc. So eventually there won’t be a need for coax, copper or fiber. Nor game consoles, set-top-boxes, or Apple TVs. So what may prove popular in the next few years will eventually become obsolete.

As Internet content moves to the television, we do need to establish a standard for remote control devices. Not just for the remote itself, but for how the remote control interacts with websites. You can get a remote control for Zipityzap, for example, but it has limited use on a website like Hulu which is designed for point and click.

The Wii Supports H.264 out of the Box and the has the Nintendo Channel available for Free in the Wii Shop as a Download Channel that has video interviews and DS Downloads .This Channel is available in the US .

In Japan they Everybody’s theater is due to launch December 2008 on WiiWare for 500 Wii Points ($5) . Everybody’s Theater will be a Video on Demand channel from childrens programing and adult anime .
