Short Bits: FUZE, Omaura, Mesh, more

I’ve been really busy lately, but that doesn’t stop news from flowing in.

Chris Morley posted an update on recent questions about the Omaura series of cases for those interested (you should be, they look amazing).

CE Pro has an article about FUZE Media Systems taking their software to OEMs instead of just pushing their own hardware.  This is a great move consider FUZE has some really cool software for things like multi-zone audio, without the need for third party audio distribution hardware.  Look for the first OEMs to start shipping FUZE software mid-2008.

Tons of news today about Microsoft’s Live Mesh, Mary Jo has a great rundown.  I’m really interested to see how this goes, it is really a make or break concept for Microsoft’s future.

Missing Remote has a good article on things an HTPC can do besides bring a PVR as well as the news that Xlobby is planning native Blu-ray support which is quite a shock to me.

From the demos I have seen on Channel9..Live Mesh looks amazing.  I do think it will become a key component, not only as a development platform but as way for Microsoft to move bits/pieces of Windows into the cloud.  It will be interesting to see how this is leveraged by future versions of Media Center.

Speaking of Omaura, what exactly does this thing do?

From the videos I have seen, the FUZE systems have mulitzoned distribution dialed in.  Being able to send whatever to whatever zone or play anything in any zone is a real all in on mediacenter solution.
