“NEO, owned by Dallas-based Internet Service provider Eisa.com,
announced on Monday its iDVD Internet appliance. The set-top box
combines Internet access and e-mail with a digital video disk
player.”
“Campbell Angus, NEO’s president and CEO, said he believes
another key to encouraging more people to connect to the Internet
is making it as simple as watching TV. The iDVD was developed to
allow a low-tech consumer to use a television to access the Web and
e-mail.”
“The Web browser and operating system, based on Linux, were
developed by PlanetWeb of Sega Dreamcast fame, Angus said. The
iDVD’s processor is basically a modified MPEG2 decoder.”
