Video in Print Technology

I came across this amazing new technology called video in print. CBS is collaborating with Pepsi to come up with the first ever video right into the magazine, Entertainment Weekly. The magazine will contain a 25 minute video comprising of previews of shows like The Big Bang Theory and How I met your mother. Its speculated that using this video in print technology will take media to next level. Presently this new issue will only be available to subscribers in LA and NY.

The video will run on a Li-Ion battery which one can recharge through a USB port. Also since it can be connected to a USB, one can download their own video into this chip and watch it over and over again. The battery lasts for about an hour. Also the coolest feature is its menu-driven so one can switch to next video just by the push of a button on the magazine....
It has speakers too... What else one needs....
