[Cialug] OT: Apple iPhone and digital media

[Tim Wilson]

I've found a couple interesting links regarding the iPhone and look-alikes:

The LG KE850 and iPhone side-by-side:

The open source phone that kinda looks like an iPhone:

I don't know how either of these compare to the iPhone, but it is
interesting there are clones/look-alikes out or are about to released,
and the iPhone isn't going to be out for 5 months.

As far as Tivo, I'd be interested in hearing more.  I have a Series 1
standalone, and a Series 2 DirecTivo.  The DirecTivo I plan on
"slicing" to a newer version of software not supported by DirecTV.
Once I do that, I should be able to do more hacks, including
downloading shows.
