Research firm Detwiler Fenton has a few more potential facts about Amazon’s not-yet-announced tablets. One of Amazon’s tablets that is codenamed “Hollywood” will supposedly have a 10-inch screen and will be much more powerful than the Amazon’s other tablet that is codenamed “Coyote.” This falls in line with a previous report that says “Hollywood” has a quad-core processor and “Coyote” has a dual-core processor.

You’ve got to feel bad for YouTube. After becoming the Internet’s darling for such fun gags, it wants to get a day job. No longer content with just the clearing house for pranks and short clips, it wants to be in the full length movie business as well as the TV show business.

YouTube served up this kind of content at one time but was forced to take most of it down over copyright claims. Now YouTube is working with Hollywood to gain their trust and their content.

But it isn’t an easy road. Sure YouTube has the traffic, 81 million folks in September but they also have the baggage. And it’s more than just past indiscretions.

Find out what’s next for YouTube.

It’s the latest Hollywood cliffhanger: how will you spend your economic stimulus check?

Two Times stories in the last three days have mentioned how sales of HDTV’s, video game consoles and software, DVD players and other home entertainment devices have been rising during the economic downturn. It seems that when hard times hit, most people will be content to cocoon in front of their 42-inch LCD’s, watching high-def newscasts full of talking heads holding court on the cost of gasoline and food.

Hollywood uberblogger Nikki Finke says Hollywood is paying attention to this mashup of commerce and technology because “Iron Man” is about to launch in multiplexes nationwide – waving the green flag for the summer movie season – and the videogame “Grand Theft Auto IV” just came out and it’s getting the kind of reviews you usually see for a Coen Brothers film. Sure, you spend $60 bucks for the game, but how many hours of 1080p gameplay (plus cinema-worthy storytelling) does that buy you vs. the 126 minutes it will take to watch Robert Downey Jr. blow stuff up?
