Discovery Communications patents e-book reader, why not?
August 31, 2009
Let’s face it, at this point everyone is looking to get in on the e-book reader action. Back in February, broadcast television group Discovery Communication — known for BBC America, Travel Channel, TLC, and Discovery Channel, naturally — filed a patent for its own digital book reader back in February that’s now surfacing online. There isn’t a lot of concrete detail here, other than it runs the gamut of possible distribution options, including public libraries à la Sony’s Daily Edition. In the picture above we’ve got hints of Cos News Services and US News and World Report, but that could very likely just be filler for the filing. It won’t be nothing without partners, but if Discovery’s serious, we’re sure they’ve got a few phone numbers to call up and try to make a deal with.

Video: Creative Zii EGG development kit gets a second look
August 31, 2009
We already know the Creative Zii EGG development edition is shipping out to eager hands, but for the even more eager eyes out there, the folks at Anything But iPod managed some pretty nice, well-lit HD video to give another illustration of how the hardware will look and feel. The narrator is quick on multiple occasions to remind viewers it’s an early build running on Creative’s Plazma OS only (no Android yet) and he takes issue with the feel of the thin film of plastic on the touchscreen, but that and slow load times notwithstanding, the device is looking mighty impressive. Pictures through the read link, and mosey on past the break for digital peep show.
[Thanks, Mathieu]

NFL to let Cowboys giant HD scoreboard stay as-is, at least for 2009
August 31, 2009
The NFL has ruled on the Dallas Cowboys punt blocking super-sized videoboard deciding to leave it where it is, 90 feet above the playing field, at least for this season. That’s no surprise to us, on the last EHD Podcast we figured no one would be able to tell Jerry Jones there’s a problem with his billion dollar baby, obstructed view seating and all. So far there’s just the one strike in the books, but if it happens again, it is a dead ball and the clock and down will both be reset. Haven’t seen the punt heard round the world yet? Check after the break for a clip of the kick that caused all the commotion, though we’re still waiting for a ruling on whether or not Gears of War tournaments on the thing are still legal.
