New Telecommunications and Gaming Developments

I came across the following articles on Engadget and thought they serve as a foil to the recent Unnovation Award winner:











Telecommunications - Plantronics' Calisto Pro makes telecommuting fun

Gaming - Sony's PlayTV turns your PS3 into a TV tuner / DVR, plus VoIP on PSP


And finally, another article on Engadget hypothesizes that worldwide sales of the Nintendo's Wii (mainly due to strength in Japan) will soon surpass that of the XBox360. This is further validation that Nintendo's strategic innovation of being "good enough" on the value dimension of graphics quality and exceeding expectations on value dimensions such as interactive play and casual gaming have proven to be a better strategy than competing on the traditional value dimensions of graphics power and extendability like PS3 and XBox360.
