Joost: Internet TV

Founders of Skype and Kazaa are into another quest. Replacing your TVs with TV-quality videos via the Internet – the Joost. Soon you will be watching your favorite syndicated prime time shows not on your dumb-box or plasma TVs, rather on your desktop PC or any video appliance connected to the Internet.

Powercast: You dont have to CHARGE those BATTERIES

Worried of getting that “iphone” which dies after 2 hours or so? Taking that party video only to realize your battery is crap? Here’s an answer for you. Powercast. Almost three years in the making, powercast is a radio frequency that is transmitted over a small area, and its energy is “harvested”–wirelessly–to give power to small devices like cell phones. It’s meant to either continuously charge a battery or replace the need for them altogether.

How does it work then? Well, you need a transmitter that is plugged into the wall. The transmitter sends out a continuous, low RF signal. Batteries within its range equipped with a Powercast receiver will be continuously charged.

Products with Powercast are expected 4th qtr this year (2007).
