This is quite the interesting idea. I would love to see where they could take this. A few of mine would be that the most logical way for them to monetize this is to put advertising on my desktop (think dial up for ads again) and I’m not sure how I would like this. Any other thoughts on how they could end up making this into a profitable org?

P.S. – A beta key would be nice if you happen to get a hold of a few.

Thanks for the note. I’d love to try this out myself too if possible.

Thanks!

Allen,

This looks like a very promising app indeed (I like the idea of setting one up for my parents as well). That’d be awesome if you could throw my name in the hat for getting a beta key.

Any chance on getting a desktop widget that will play TV from a TV card, so that a cable signal will play on the desktop in a framed window?

I think the fact that sobees requires 200MBs of RAM will turn most people off-atleast for the time being-but it looks promising
