Mark -

2 hours of video in 64 megs can't have much quality. Did you see it? Was the image bigger than 1 square inch? Was it color? Was it jerky? The PVR's have huge disk drives (over 20 gb) and only store a few hours of television quality (not good quality).

Also, if prices drop from $300 to $100 in 6 months, what will happen to revenues and earnings? Disk drives do not drop in price like that.

Regards,
Mark

<<there are plans in the works to have PCS networks that will support full video in 2 or 3 years.>>
I'll be happy when my Sprint PCS phone has full audio support-as in not skipping out for entire sentences or geographic areas.
