Interesting.

Very interesting, so it looks like the "720" will have two flavors, and the 2nd flavor will be at least a year away?

Not sure I like the "TV Streaming" comment. hopefully it will support IPTV for local streaming.

The Verge has learned that the next Kinect will detect multiple people simultaneously, including the ability to detect eye movement to pause content when a viewer turns their head away from a TV

Gracious, I hope they provide the ability to turn that function off. I can't imagine having it constantly stopping every time you look away - or if any of those watching look away. That would be as annoying as a stuttering digital connection.

Imagine 4 people sitting in a room watching a show - at least one of them is going to be looking at their phone at any given point. So the show would pause every time? Or what about blinking? Or what about people talking to each other and they turn their head to look at each other? I suspect very few people have their eyes glued to the TV throughout a show - far from it. Seems like a wasted effort.

I suspect there will have to be some sort of a delay setting or default vaue for the pause. Otherwise that would be horrible! Personally using the kinect outside of gamming makes no sense. Very few skype with there tv (I think).

Look like we will find out soon then later:
