One of the more intriguing if slightly puzzling hardware features of the Intel box is its built-in camera. Living room communications applications are a different story, one still in its early moments. Smart TV apps have changed no behavior and they have moved no product. Almost no one is interested in these gadgets and gizmos anymore. Smart TV-style applications for the television set will also be there, but for now, TV apps are an afterthought. Finally, it would offer "TV Everywhere"-style delivery of the service to every screen, from your television set to your mobile phone - a small miracle of technology and digital rights negotiation that's become almost commonplace in the last two years. The service would also include an expanded video-on-demand library similar to what most cable, satellite, and telecom companies are offering to compete with Hulu and Netflix's libraries. That's real cloud-based delivery of television content. This means subscribers would have digital access to every program for seven days after transmission, without having to program a DVR. Intel Media also proposes to offer a full slate of what Huggers calls "catch-up" television, on the model of BBC's iPlayer.
