YouTube on TV
Netgear at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has unveiled a new media adapter that allows users to access Youtube videos on a regular television.
Using the Youtube application programming interface (API) that Youtube has made available to developers, the device allows users to browse the most popular Youtube videos using a remote control. They can also search for videos and select users whose videos they want to track.
The Digital Entertainer HD is the first device that makes Youtube videos available on a television, claimed Netgear’s vice president of product marketing Vivek Pathela.
Now all we need is a bit of DailyMotion and I can get rid of cable all together. Hard to know but this is a very nice bit of news.

I would be more interested in this product if it can serve as a wireless sync to run my flat screens as second monitors. I am tired of plugging in.
