Philips Net TV – Ebay on your sofa powered by Jaast
On February 19, 2009 Philips announced their new 2009 line of LCD TVs. The 8000, 9000 and Cinema 21:9 products will be shipped with a Net TV module built in. This provides easy, configuration and PC-free internet access with your remote control.
Internet with remote control on TV/Media Center/Wii are things we have been working on for years and thus we are proud to say that Ebay and Philips have selected us to provide an Ebay channel on the new sets.
Based on our mceAuction technology we have adapted the Ebay content to work seamlessly on the new Philips systems.We will provide the channel via our Jaast brand.
We will be providing the Ebay channel on all new Philips Net TV enabled devices!
Ebay navigation on the TV is very simple, the same intiutive way of browsing Ebay as with mceAuction on Microsoft Media Center and Jaast on Wii.
The 8000 series are connected via wire compared to the 9000 series/Cinema 21:9 which are connected via WiFi.

Doing this right from the sofa would be such a awesome experience. For real though if I could do some bidding and so forth right from the leather it would be so nice. Pause… Bid… Play.. lol
