Apple G3 laptop with DVD option.... * Playback of DVD-Video discs requires MPEG-2 decoder hardware, which is not currently available for the PowerBook G3 series. Guess they don't have a decoder solution yet...

Sun's PersonalJava Environment Selected By TCI as the Standard Programming Environment for Advanced Set-Top Devices Business Wire - May 06, 1998 14:01 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 1998--Today at the National Cable TV Association (NCTA) Conference, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNW) and Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) announced that TCI's National Digital Television Center (NDTC) has expanded its earlier agreement with Sun to specify Sun's PersonalJava(TM) environment as a standard programming language on all of its advanced digital set-top devices. As part of this new agreement, Sun will now provide a software port of the PersonalJava environment for those devices on which Microsoft's WinCE operating system will be utilized. Under the agreement, TCI also obtained the option to license Sun's JavaOS(TM) for Consumers(TM) operating system. In addition, TCI will support Sun's JavaTV Application Programming Interface (API). The combination of the PersonalJava environment, JavaOS for Consumers operating system and the JavaTV API will provide a rich application and content development environment for developers. newsalert.com
