„I have a post over at pvrblog.com which talks a bit about the $30 DVD player that Apex was selling last Christmas season and how the consumer electronics business is changing by way of the globalization of manufacturing as well as big-box retailers (such as Wal-Mart.)“

„The ApeXtreme is the first device of its kind. It functions as a full-featured, high-end home DVD player, a hard-disk-based Personal Video Recorder and a home game console designed to play any PC game -- all in one attractive device. The device moves PC versions of electronic games out of the computer room and into the TV room, giving gamers the ability to play their favorite "PC-only" games on a console machine, with a bigger game image -- on their standard TV.“http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2004/03/ apextreme_dvd_p.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„A big chunk of Apex's 2003 sales (about $1 billion) came during the run-up to Christmas -- when a kind of extreme thriftiness has come to manifest itself in virtual scrums as bargain hunters throng at low-price retailers for while-supplies-last deals. Last Christmas the Deal was often a DVD player marked down to an absurdly cheap $29, and that DVD player was often an Apex model. It is incredible to think of a company less than 5 years old, with about 100 employees, selling over $1 billion, being second in marketshare to Sony (at least within the category of DVD players.) Apex seems to have converged at a point between the globalization of manufacturing and labor, the distribution of big-box retailers in America, and this "bargain culture," by providing product cheaper than any other competitor.“http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2004/03/ apex_digital_an.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„TiVo Basic will be freely included with some new upcoming PVR devices from Pioneer and Toshiba. TiVo Basic appears to offers live TV pausing, up to 3 days of show data that you can set recordings by hand, but repeat recordings are only by time and channel, with no season passes.“http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2003/07/ switching_chann.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„Dual tuner (so it can work with multiple TVs), recording, DVD player included, HDTV capable, ethernet networking, plus home media options for music and photos. Sounds like everything possible aside from DVD recording of TV. “http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2003/07/ charter_plannin.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„, has just announced the final specs for its soon-to-come, potentially revolutionary new PC Game Console/DVD player/PVR (Apex Digital Finalizes Spec for DVD Player/PC Game Console ). This will be the first major consumer device that really pushes convergence to the current, practical limits and, at a suggested retail price of $499, it seems pretty well-priced. It may not get everything right (first generation devices usually don't), but who knows?“http://www.corante.com/copyfight/archives/ 002682.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„"The jacket has two small snap-on photovoltaic panels that fit onto its shoulders. These charcoal-gray solar panels convert the sun's rays into energy, which then feed a hidden battery pack about the size of a deck of cards. The batteries are wired to all the pockets, which can have almost any mobile devices plugged into them."“http://www.panbo.com/archives/ 2004_01.html#000300 - Cached - Similar Pages

„This is a shot from the output of my newly upgraded series 2 Tivo (project described here), after I added a new hard drive tonight. All told, it took a couple hours and I took many photos along the way and wrote a lot of notes, which I need to organize and clean up before posting the full report here. For now, my work is done and I'm off to set a few dozen new season passes.“http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2003/07/ its_alivealive.html - Cached - Similar Pages
