The New York Times > Technology > Hewlett to Offer TV Media Hub

The New York Times > Technology > Hewlett to Offer TV Media Hub: "Hewlett-Packard will introduce a new device this fall meant to record and play back television as well as organize digital media, including photos, music and video, the company said yesterday.
Hewlett already offers similar devices based on Microsoft's Windows Media Center Edition. The device, called the HP Media Hub, will be based on the Linux operating system.
Carleton S. Fiorina, the chief executive, said that by using Linux, rather than Windows, Hewlett can reduce the cost of the device, which has not been set, she said.
'The real motive is not the cost,' she added, but 'the ease of use and simplicity.'"
