Add-ons for Tablet PC 04/04/2005 10:52 AM

The Experience Pack for Tablet PC consists of the following applications and add-ons: Energy Blue theme and Windows Media Player skin - This theme first debuted with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and was previously made available to Tablet PC owners as a separate download. The theme is cleaner and more professional looking than the default XP theme. Ink Desktop - An innovative OS add-on that lets you jot notes and drawings directly on the XP desktop. You can configure Ink Desktop to display different templates--like a note pad, to-do list, or monthly calendar--or to be completely transparent.

Ink Art - An amazing natural paint program that is so realistic you'll think you're painting or drawing directly on the Tablet's screen. One stunning feature, the tracing paper, lets you paint "over" digital photographs, leading to artistic interpretations of your favorite pictures, even if you're not an artist. Ink Crossword - A virtual crossword puzzle that comes with 12 puzzles and the ability to download more free and paid puzzles. Ink Crossword includes an optional timer, a letter help feature, and will prompt you when you've entered correct or incorrect letters. Media Transfer - A software-based Windows Media Connect client that lets Tablet PC owners easily download or stream digital photos, music, and videos from other XP-based PCs in their home.

Which Way Does The Promotion Go?

Which Way Does The Promotion Go? 04/12/2005 02:01 PM
There's been so much hype in both the mobile and music industries about ringtones, that people seem to have lost sight of what's actually happening in the market -- and whether or not it's even remotely sustainable. With that in mind, it seems like both industries seem to think that because they've been able to sell a good number of ringtones at ridiculously high prices (though, way too often through trickery) that ringtones are the only place to be. So, while the recording industry continues to sue file sharers and neglect radio, everyone's talking ringtones. That leads to some bizarre promotional ideas, such as releasing a song as a ringtone first before it even hits the radios or stores (downloadable or physical). Apparently, the industry believes that exclusivity trumps promotion (or, that exclusivity somehow is the best promotion). The way the industry normally works is that you get a song out there and playing on the radio, TV (and, increasingly, whether the industry likes it or not, on file sharing networks) and use that to drive demand to get people to purchase CDs or downloads (or other assorted musician related items). However, this is the equivalent of saying that some record label decided it would launch a CD in stores first, before promoting it. Once again, it seems the recording industry has its priorities so screwed up that they're looking to make money on their own promotions, rather than using the promotions to sell something. In the long run, that seems like shrinking your own market. How many businesses charge you to view their commercials?

Is There A Difference Between Piracy And
Promotion?

Is There A Difference Between Piracy And
Promotion? 08/10/2004 03:43 PM
Nearly two years ago, we wrote about a piece by Larry Lessig looking at how the comic industry in Japan was thriving based on copycat comics that would normally be seen as infringing works in the US, forcing entertainment industry lawyers to shut down these fan-created efforts. In something of a followup to that piece, Henry Jenkins has written about how so-called "piracy" has been a huge help in making Japanese anime popular and commercially viable in the US. Clearly, the easy distribution of digital content has different effects -- some of which are beneficial and some of which are harmful -- for the creators of that content. By assuming that only one of these effects exist, companies that are cracking down on "piracy" without realizing they may be hurting free promotional activity are doing damage to their own business.

Onkyo Joins HD DVD Promotion Group 03/29/2005 04:22 AM

Onkyo is the latest company to pledge allegiance to the HD DVD army, joining the ranks of all the other companies who have said they'll be releasing content. But just like a lot of other companies who have joined one group or the other, they're still sort of on the fence about things.

We haven't joined [the Blu-ray Disc Association] yet, but are still continuing contact. It's not as though we're going to choose one or the other; we'll look into it depending on our needs and the merit in the future.

I'm still not sure why Onkyo would even bother with this announcement; they're primary an audio component maker anyway. HD DVD-Audio, maybe?
