I suspect this will be semi-hobbled...

Most devices in this class are crippled depending on how afraid of RIAA the corporation making it is... (the blockbuster box has all the user's own media blocked all-together).

Wish the gov't would stand up to RIAA before we all have 500 diff boxes each with slightly different capabilities hanging off our snazzy new HDTVs...

Is this guy joking?
"No one else can zoom in on photos?" sure they can.
"In a year we will need to be concerned." I have a tun of 1080 content now.

I could say a lot of other things I don't like about this product, but I am sure this will be moderated due to the fact your biased to the company.

Seagate, stick with making drives.

This Seagate FreeAgentTheater appeaers to be an aggregator for home video, photos and music. Looks like it would be fun. Well done.
