Arriving from Taipei, Taiwan today, the WebDVD player ushers in a new age of living room entertainment by integrating DVD, the fastest consumer entertainment product ever to sell a million units (beating audio CD, VCRs and the Walkman) with Internet connectivity housed in a TV friendly, attractive appliance. The 2X DVD player features include: a dual-focus laser, Dolby digital 5.1, S-Video and composite video output, 33.6 Kbps modem, printer port, 30X shuttle search (forward/reverse), karaoke (2 microphone inputs), wireless keyboard and remote control.

"Comjet is a fore-runner in computer multimedia and Internet technologies," states Howard Jeng, Comjet Regional Representative. "Our goal is to integrate the two technologies and bring both into the living room for the masses. If you can operate a VCR, you will be able to use the HomeMighty Internet-DVD set-top box in the first day. Comjet's HomeMighty puts the Internet and home theater in one box."
In his speech at the lavish DVD Video Group party at CES last month, Warren Lieberfarb, Warner Home Video President, made it clear the future of consumer DVDs shall include Internet connectivity such as what is in the formidable Warner Bros. DVD title, "Lost in Space." He announced that at least 10 WebDVD titles will be released by years end. In April, Warner Bros. inaugural WebDVD Interactive Magazine, Drive-On, will intensify awareness and excitement regarding this emerging hybrid consumer electronic category.
