@HannaFeinbier Im Gegensatz zu Dir schien Haynie, den Du gewissermassen als "Zeugen" zitierst, durchaus von einem existierenden Phoenix auszugehen. Haynie schreibt dort u.a. auch: "Ryan was interested in reselling the Metabox "Phoenix", a set-top-box, or more properly, "convergence computer" (eg, a full fledged computer, but for plain old everyday users, centralized around media applications for your livingroom, rather than business/engineering applications for your office)." sowie: "The goal, while at Metabox Corp, was to design a short-term architecture improvement to the Phoenix. In Europe, the target is clearly DVB, and the Phoenix architecture handles that just dandy. But here in the USA, the goal was advanced broadband entertainment, and I felt that we had a number of shortcomings in the Phoenix architecture." und: "Look at Compaq`s various ventures. They want $800 for a thing that just plays CDs and rips MP3 to an internal hard disc. The "Phoenix" I worked on at Metabox AG can do this. And browse the web. And play games. And play full motion MPEG-2 videos. And deliver digital TV, and record shows for you when you`re not around. And all for a bit less money." SonicReducer |
