HP Introduces Integrated Media Devices @ CES

From The Hollywood Reporter: Hewlett-Packard’s chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina called on several famous friends to help make the point that her company’s plans for entertainment go far beyond the desktop computer. It was all part of her keynote speech at the 2005 International Consumer Electronics Show. Bolstered by the presence of such luminaries as DreamWorks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg, Matt Damon and Gwen Stefani, Fiorina’s consistent message was that innovation improves everyone’s lives. "The digital revolution is about the democratization of technology," she said on Thursday. "It’s about giving power to the people." Fiorina unveiled the latest HP Digital Entertainment Centers, which feature high-definition ATSC tuning capabilities, and what she described as the industry’s first HDTV media hub, a product that combines HDTV, a digital cable set-top box and a dual-tuner digital video recorder with the ability to access and manage photos, music and video.
