It’s interesting to see this crossover content with devices like this and Boxee hit the mainstream (sorta).

“The Roku Channel Store is an open platform for delivering content to Roku boxes beyond the already-integrated Netflix, MLB.tv and Amazon channels. We all had high hopes for full-length streaming video, and rumors pointed to Hulu, but alas, it is not to be. The first ten “channels” were released today, and Hulu is not among them.

The list: Pandora, Facebook Photos, Revision3, Mediafly, TWiT, blip.tv, Flickr, FrameChannel, Motionbox and MobileTribe”

I have a feeling that some people will have mixed feelings about this. We are now creating tons of content in various social media communities that are an archive of our life moments (however big or small). There is also a service called Legacy Locker that will pass on your digital property access to friends and loved ones.

Who doesn’t like apps for their tech devices? Livescribe Pulse Smartpen does.

“The Livescribe Pulse Digital Smartpen records your notes two ways: it creates digital copies of everything you write by hand while recording audio at the same time. It also goes one step further and links the two together, so you can quickly access audio by tapping parts of your notes. All of this is uploaded to your computer where the Livescribe software archives and makes your notes fully searchable. In addition, it offers features like a calculator, [demo] translator, and a paper piano that plays a mini piano you draw on paper.”

I think that tablets are going to be a more intuitive use of multi-touch features, but it is great to see the technology becoming more mainstream.

“The multitouch display (we’re looking for confirmation on whether or not it’s capacitive tech) supports the pre-installed Windows 7 along with Dell’s own touch software.”
