Microsoft device to bridge TV, PC
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft will demonstrate on Monday a tablet-shaped device that will serve as a bridge between the TV, the PC and the company's .Net services, according to sources familiar with the plans. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates will show off the device, known as Mira, during his eHome presentation Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The device is effectively a cross between a Pocket PC-based handheld computer and a TV remote control. Sources said Mira will depend on Microsoft's Terminal Server, software that governs the exchange of data between a computing device and a central server.
