Plexuscom - Pegasos based STB

[asian1]

Plexuscom STB

Plexuscom had announced their new STB based on Pegasos motherboard:

1. Is this a closed box device, similar to VCR / hifi?
 (no user serviceable parts inside, impossible to replace damaged hard disk, no hackers etc)

2. I guess the price will be more than US$ 500.
Can this device compete with cheaper STB or cheaper Digital VCR (Sony, Tivo, Philips etc)?
Nokia had cancelled similar high end STB (AmigaDE deal), but continue their low end STB.
Is there any customer for the high end product?

3. Plexuscom / Chou Chin network products and brand are unknown outside Taiwan.  They use Plexuscom brand since 2002.
Can they compete with established brands?

4. Chou Chin Industrial Co. is famous in Taiwan for their "Bomy" brand in fruit, vegetable, mixed juice, canned food, coffee, tea (license from Lipton) and drink packaging (license from Tetra). Can they make it on highly competitive Electronics / Computer market?

Chou Chin Industrial

Thanks.

>Diversification

I wonder why Bomy uses picture of cabbage as background of their website (food division).
At least their pasture is greener than the other side. :-)

If the product is succesfull, there will be "green grass juice" for the "flying horse"     :-)

If the product failed / became SOUR Juice, the whole Plexuscom high end STB division maybe squeezed, liquified into juice, ready to be gulped by giant competitors.
(similar to Nokia high end STB division).     :-)

What happen if the customer spilled Bomy juice over Plexuscom Pegasos STB?   :-)

Other jokes:

With unlimited supply of Vegetable & Fruit Juice (vitamin & nutrient), there will be new energized staff and engineers at Genesi!     :-)

New slogan for Genesi: "Sleepless in Luxembourg" because unlimited supply of coffee and Lipton tea.
OTOH this will increase "CaffeineMark" of MorphOS  on Pegasos motherboard!    :-)

CaffeineMark 3.0

If Genesi lost AmigaDE lawsuit, perhaps they will use JUICE plugin!   :-)
 (similar portability feature as java, but faster).
