LG Hybrid Digital Frame/DVD Player!

It seems like a great idea when you couple a digital frame with a DVD player and LG has just done that with their new hybrid digital frame/DVD player.
I think a lot of digital frame manufacturers will start implementing similar hybrid systems for those of you who need a digital frame with extra DVD player capability on-the-go.
You can get it at Amazon for $229.

Here’s Dash, a company that makes in-car navigation opening their API for developers to develop apps for their navigation system.
Sounds like a great idea, it will work a lot better if they offered some prizes like Google (GOOG) has been doing with their Android and Apple (APPLE) with their iPhone.
Maybe I will apply for an API so I can integrate SiteHoppin into their Dash navigation systems and people will be site hopping on the go.
Tomorrow morning at O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 conference we’ll be announcing another first for the GPS category. We’re opening up our service to enable other companies and developers to provide timely and relevant Internet content to the car. Our goal is to get drivers the answers they need every day. We call these new partner-created applications, DashApps.

BMW Adds Full Internet Access to Its iDrive

BMW adds full internet access to their iDrive. This is something I have been thinking about, putting a web browser into the car navigation. If everything goes as planned, we should have some people “Site Hopping” while they are stuck at the light and make us couple million bucks.
I think this is a smart move by BMW as some car manufacturer is going to put that web browser on the car navigation. Why not? The screen’s there, the computer is there, all you need to do is stick a broadband modem.
Watch as every other car manufacturer starts putting internet available on the navigation LCDs.
BMW will introduce full onboard Internet access that will allow drivers to copy maps and other information directly to their navigation systems.
The service will operate via an EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) mobile connection, currently the fastest universal mobile connection available.
DIY DVD Hack - How to copy HD DVD and Blu-Ray Movies!

Oh okay, this one might be on the borderline of legalness but its actual use is to make backups of your HD DVDs or Blu-Ray discs. They have free trial download so check it out here if you need it.
Slysoft says the new version of its AnyDVD programme allows users to make “backup security copies” of high definition movies.
The claim is a blow to Sony which developed the Blu-ray format.
The discs are protected by an anti-piracy system called BD+.
When it launched in 2007, developers boasted it would not be cracked for 10 years.
Sony declined to comment!
