9:15-10:30 How big of a part of the audience are the gaming consoles? Is this a trend?

13:45-14:45 The estimate is that broadband will have 30% penetration of US households by 2013, is that right?
14:45-16:00 Will every home have this technology within the next 3 years?
17:00-19:00 Let's take a look at the Apple TV platform. Ashwin, is Apple going to make TV sets?
19:00-20:00 What price would you guess that an Apple TV set would come out at and who are its competitors?
20:00-21:00 How much does that Samsung set cost? How often does the price drop?

33:00-34:00 What are the highlights of the platform? What are the favorite features?
35:00-36:30 Ashwin: Forget YouTube, give me a native app.
36:30-37:30 Looking at the app selection, you can choose from TMZ. Did you write the code for this, Ashwin?
37:30-38:00 What does it cost people to use Flingo to make an app?
40:00- What about making money? Does the Google platform have any built in pay-per-view?

42:30-44:00 How do they make their money, off the hardware?

54:00-54:45 So here you have another iPhone app to control this Samsung set?
54:45-55:15 Can the Internet handle have everyone in the world having one of these?
57:00- So you can use Samsung as the billing engine and buy everything from there?
58:30-1:01:15 Looking ahead at the landscape: Roku is coming out with a new model, Apple is rumored to be launching a set top TV in 2012, etc. Who looses in all of this?
1:01:15-1:03:15 Are people going to start building iPad-like devices to sell with the TVs?
1:03:15-1:04:00 What about streaming from HDRs and the concept of HDRs in general?
