Tivo to Go
Wow! I was waiting for TivoToGo but could not believe there are going to be portable devices that are compatible with it...if it's compatible with Windows Media digital rights management and Windows Media Center content, then I believe AMD and Tivo may have just bettered the Portable Media Center.
By the way, the Creative Labs Zen does NOT charge from the USB port as I originally thought which left me lugging around a dead gadget. The USB connection does keep the Zen alive (which begs the question of why it does not charge the device...probably trying to be a good USB citizen and not overload the port). Anyway, I have the device back here now and am about to load more content on there (if there is room) for more portable media fun.
I can't wait for my TivoToGo to become active though...I just signed up my Tivos for priority upgrade (whatever that means). I think I'm going to have to cobble together a Windows Media Center for kicks. Also, I'll be watching MacWorld for Apple's announcements (praying for Media Center like stuff built into the Headless Mac or something like that to make me do the official switch-when my home desktop becomes a Mac...ooooh)
