I think the direction of those arrows should flow the way actual devices on 
stores do theyr arrows.
is play  like this > or like < in your VCR? couse people will relate more to 
de real devices they have in their homes than to the direction of text. 
im not saying it dosent make sence it does specily wen text related direction 
but in média i think it should flow the média devices in the market.
