		<description>Hi Tom,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for your comments - great work on The Apprentice Predictor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I agree it&#039;s further away than it should be right now, but there&#039;s an opportunity to work directly with OEMs to deliver something more than Bloomberg news and weather widgets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It just seems crazy that they&#039;re all rolling out similar non-social widgets and aren&#039;t thinking about unique KPIs that could set them apart from their competition such as customised channels or ways to facilitate monetization through enriched digital &#039;extras&#039; and communicating via their mobile phone and TV instead of having the TV on in the background and inteacting with their laptops.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think there&#039;s an opportunity to take over the digital living room experience: &lt;a href=&quot;http://tr.im/naqi&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tr.im/naqi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The realist in me, like you, thinks there&#039;s plenty left in synched smart phones, I just like to dream every now and then :o)</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p>Thanks for your comments &#8211; great work on The Apprentice Predictor.</p>
<p>I agree it&#39;s further away than it should be right now, but there&#39;s an opportunity to work directly with OEMs to deliver something more than Bloomberg news and weather widgets.</p>
<p>It just seems crazy that they&#39;re all rolling out similar non-social widgets and aren&#39;t thinking about unique KPIs that could set them apart from their competition such as customised channels or ways to facilitate monetization through enriched digital &#39;extras&#39; and communicating via their mobile phone and TV instead of having the TV on in the background and inteacting with their laptops.</p>
<p>I think there&#39;s an opportunity to take over the digital living room experience: <a href="http://tr.im/naqi" rel="nofollow">http://tr.im/naqi</a></p>
<p>The realist in me, like you, thinks there&#39;s plenty left in synched smart phones, I just like to dream every now and then <img src='http://www.pixelpod.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>

		<description>I agree with you in the long term, but Flash on set-top boxes is quite a long way off, and I&#039;m not sure that the OEMs that have started integrating FlashLite into their TVs are also incorporating Wifi for the return path. Sky and Virgin adopting it would speed things up. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To me, there&#039;s a lot more life in synched smartphone apps and laptops for the time being.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tom // Monterosa</description>
