Don Reisinger posted a CES 2008 roundup over at Newteevee recently. His overall grades were mostly in the C and D range. Why is this? In a year where online video is extremely relevant, particularly since many of the major announcements concerned getting TV onto the web or online video onto TV, why weren’t there more announcements that were truly “revolutionary”? Many thoughts and theories come to mind - but rather then speculate, here is what Mefeedia would like to happen by next year’s CES:

An easy way to watch all of my subscribed shows and collected videos on my TV, computer, Nintendo Wii, and iPhone - no matter where those videos are hosted or what formats they come in.

Why can’t I just point my TiVo / Wii / iPhone / iTunes / Miro / TV to this:

and click “Play”?

The entire experience needs to be easier. It is what consumers want - anytime, anywhere access to anything. Here’s to making it happen in 2008 (we are already there for a few of those devices)!
