The Wave connects your TV to the Internet

“The Wave” Is A Fully-Functional Computer That Is Customized To Connect Your TV To The Internet -- With No Restrictions And No Monthly Fees

Solana Beach, CA – April 14, 2010

What if there was a product that connects your TV to the Internet that is simple and “just works”, there are no restrictions, and there are no monthly fees?

What if every TV in your house became a large digital picture frame when you are not using it?

Dolphin Consumer Systems has announced “The Wave”, a “setbox” that connects your TV to the Internet that the company claims will “bring a wave of freedom to TV”. It allows open access to the Internet and has no monthly charges (as long as you have access to a wireless Wi-Fi Internet connection, which most people have or can be achieved inexpensively with a wireless router if you have an Internet connection).

The Wave is available for $399, which is about what a low-cost laptop/netbook PC costs. But people just aren’t connecting their PC’s to TV’s in numbers. Often there’s no good place to set a PC by the TV, it’s a hassle to connect and disconnect a laptop PC to a TV, you need to change the settings so it doesn’t go to sleep on you, and you have to go up to the PC to use it’s keyboard or mouse.

For a little bit of fun, the company has licensed the song “Catch A Wave”, which plays when you visit the website and comes with “The Wave” product itself (and it links to a Beach Boys tribute band who coincidentally has a CD called “Catch The Wave”).

Features:
 The Wave includes, games, a calculator, working with pictures, playing music, e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, and more…
 The Internet access includes InternetButtons.com, the easiest and best way to access the Internet, with buttons for over 1,500 of the most popular and useful websites.
 When you are not using your TV to watch something, your TV turns into a digital picture frame and displays your pictures.
 4-in-1 memory card reader to transfer your pictures from your camera memory cards
 You can watch videos, TV, and movies on the Internet
 It measures only 10 by 7 inches and one inch thick
 It includes a deluxe wireless keyboard with a built-in trackball mouse. You can also use an iPhone or iPod Touch as a remote control, including keyboarding, and mousing.
 You just plug the cables into the connectors on THE WAVE™ and your TV that fit them, connect the power cord, and you never have to turn THE WAVE™ off. It’s always there on your TV’s PC input.

Features (more technical):
 The Wave has all of features of a PC, plus it has special settings and software for the TV and the Internet.
 PC monitor or TV output (standard VGA, up to 1600x1200 pixels, which is better than “HD TV” which is x1080 pixels/lines)
 Two USB ports, audio output
 Wireless/WLAN/Wi-Fi 802.11b/g or wired Ethernet network connections (for accessing the Internet and also printing to wired or wireless Wi-Fi printers on your home network).
 Memory Card Reader: 4-in-1 (SD/Secure Digital, MMC/Multi Media Card, MS/Memory Stick, & MS Pro)

Actually, The Wave does everything a PC does, except that it is in a box about one-inch high, it comes with a nice wireless keyboard with built-in mouse trackball, and it has settings and custom software that make it easy to use with a TV and the Internet. More information and ordering is available at CatchTheWaveTV.com .

The Wave connects to your TV via the PC/VGA connector, which is on most TV’s. The available resolution of The Wave is higher then HD TV, and it streams/plays video from the Internet fine in the standard video window presented by most websites (although full-screen video might not work well, and depending on the Internet connection speed and the TV’s electronic design).

Dolphin Consumer Systems encourages people to complain to TV shows, TV stations, TV networks, and movie studios if their content is not available on the Internet.

If every TV in your house could access the Internet, where you can watch most TV shows and movies, why would you need to pay for cable TV?

If every TV in your house could make phone calls on the Internet, why would you need to pay for a landline phone? And what if every TV in your house could make video phone calls?

If every TV in your house had the capability of a PC, why would you need a home PC?

If all the content you would want is available by streaming from the Internet, why would you need the cost and hassle of managing a DVR? And why would you need to download or store videos on a local hard drive? And why would you need to purchase DVD’s, which take up room and end up as electronic waste?

If every TV in your house had the capability of a PC, and every PC monitor had a Wave connected, why would you need a home PC? Don’t worry, the PC companies can sell laptop PC’s… and telephone companies do cell phones, and cable TV companies can provide Internet connections, and distributors and middemen for content and DVD’s can find something else to do rather than rip us off… What a concept – pay the content providers directly!
