07 Nov 2009 07:24:00 PST

Written by Chris Jacob
It's good to see Microsoft offering optimizations, but we're still waiting for a more major firmware upgrade: Social networking, IM, and YouTube should be top priorities. That being said, I still love the Zune HD—it's even wowed the notoriously hard-to-please Brian Lam.

Opinion: TiVo to Launch 802.11n Wireless Access Point

07 Nov 2009 06:44:49 PST

Written by Dave Zatz
Looks like Roku and the Xbox 360 won’t be the only set-top boxes making the jump from 802.11g to the faster, further 802.11n spec this fall. While I’ve been scanning FCC filings lately, trolling for something specific, a new TiVo wireless adapter wasn’t on my radar. Fortunately, the Engadget...

Opinion: TiVo to Launch 802.11n Wireless Access Point
