Not nice to copy someone's info without giving them credit.

If that's not the case, then I apologize.

Also, someone concluded already that these are old screenshots from 2002 and will probably never be implemented into Bell's 721.

Read the PDF it does not appear that this has been scrapped.

I have not seen these screen shots before, has anyone else?

Can someone post a link to where these were posted in the past?

 

[AppliedAggression]

Didn't mean to jump on you like that, but it was posted last night on DBStalkby P Smith.

It does indeed seem very cool, especially with the PIP in the top right corner. Instant Messaging while watching a program looks cool.

You're right on the PDF, it is newer, but still from summer of 2003. I don't what this means for the 721, but I doubt we'll ever see it in the States.

I didn't see that. Sorry.

I got a note with everything from a friend of mine who works for Echostar.

I WANT THAT ON MY 721 and 921!!

What is that - Latin they speak up there? Did anyone make any sense of that message on the first screenshot?

 

[sampatterson]

That "latin" is used in marketing/creative before the "real" text is used to show layout with some sort of text.

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain . . ." I beleive. I gets used alot as filler in MS documents as sample text.
