We covered the launch of the Netflix Player recently and were not particularly excited about the offering, and those that posted their response after the piece were less than excited as well. AppleTV which came from a company that appeared to be unable to find a flop, turned out to be one, and I’ve been using the Vudu product which works at least as well as the AppleTV does but I wonder if I would abandon my Netflix subscription for it.

Watching any number of non-Apocalyptic future TV shows will certainly yield some form of video communication, whether it be through Star Trek or that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa is thrust into the future after her encounter with the fortune-teller. But a number of things have prevented the videophone from being widely adopted, from price, to the simple fact that many people don’t want to be seen as they value the inherent privacy of a phone.”
