Free Telly

[jthompson]

Free, ad-supported television. Literally.

A free (as in £0) television set which includes a secondary screen below it that constantly displays advertisments. Adverts mights also be shown on the main screen when nothing in particular is being watched.

 

 

Oh, and it has a built-in camera and microphone, because it has Zoom.

From a very brief look, T&Cs say only available in the US.

USA only. Limited to 500000 devices.

Interesting concept though.

Er, no thanks

USA only. Limited to 500000 devices.

Interesting concept though.

 

Odd they use the British word

It amuses me that whenever 'widgets' are a touted feature of a device, the obligatory sports results and stocks widgets get rolled out. Surely anyone who cares about a sports result will either already know it directly, or want to actively avoid knowing it right away. And stocks I'm assuming are just a very widgetable data source that nobody actually has any interest in: least of all someone opting for a free television set.

Interesting concept. I'd get one and cover the second screen if it was really that obtrusive.
