Verismo officially launches $99 VuNow PoD with YouTube support


Just in time to snag some of that cash youre sure to have showing up right about now via greeting cards from around the world, Verismo Networks is officially launching its diminutive VuNow PoD. Weve seen the device evolve quite a bit since June, but with a smorgasbord of competitors already grabbing market share left and right, were left to wonder if this one wont be sitting on the outside looking in. The internet TV streamer hooks directly to ones TV and internet connection in order to deliver web content (YouTube, of note) to the tele. While specifics are conveniently omitted, were told that users will have access to "a broad choice of online video content -- from movies, global Live TV channels, to user-generated content and viral videos." Its available now for $99, but can you stand yet another set-top-box beneath your flat-panel?
