Oct 29th 2009 7:25PM @rendezvous65: Really? I played with the beta yesterday (livecd) and my X-fi wasn't detected, only the crappy onboard realtek soundcard.
Messed with 4front's implementation wich uses OSS for a while but still no success.
Verizon's HTC Droid Eris to run Android 1.5 on a 528MHz CPU {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 8:07PM @kyle:
First, you're right, the average consumer isn't interested in what CPU his phone has. That however is no excuse to me for not making products better. I bet it's al about the money. Since this CPU is still used in so many devices the price/unit must be extremely low by now.
Second, you can't argue taste. I, for example, like the stock android better over any custom interface because it's simple and doesn't look bloated.

Oct 27th 2009 6:38PM Old + old = no money for HTC, sorry.
That 528Mhz CPU is like the atom n270: everybody wants something newer and better but they keep throwing the same old shit to our heads.
And while I can understand the 528Mhz CPU somehow (You can't change the CPU that easily), what's your excuse for android 1.5 HTC? Android 1.6 is out for some time and 2.0 is about to hit other devices.

Sep 6th 2009 4:32PM Look how lovely the glossy screen reflects the light shining trough the windows and some random guy looking at another laptop. Let's all buy one of these things and reflect the sunlight at each other, it will be so much fun.
(sarcasm)
Otherwise: nice laptop :)
iPhone 3GS totally capable of 1080p video playback {Engadget}
Aug 20th 2009 8:19PM Simple:
$99 for the 32GB version and $199 for the 64GB version + an expensive 2 year subscription with your local operator (and only not a shitty one if you're lucky).
Of course it will only play apple approved content downloaded from itunes and strong words will be bleeped out, sexual and violent scenes will be cencored or simply cutt out. Only 50% of the players functionality will be implemented on release, the other 50% will arrive with an update 1 year after the release.
The name of the device: Apple iPhone 3GS HD.
Ion-equipped Samsung N510 netbook shipping stateside next month {Engadget}

You can also turn it arround: vista and aero are to heavy/bloated for a netbook. I've ran the full desktop version of ubuntu with all fancy compiz effects (yes, that fancy 3D cube, wobbly windows and so on) on a Asus eee701 back in the days.
As for Visual Studio and CS: A netbook is NOT the right tool for those kind of jobs. Get a desktop or laptop with a large screen, large resolution and comfortable keyboard for that.
Multimedia was a pain indeed but ION should solve that. But then again it's only usefull if you can hook it up to a decent display (through HDMI, not VGA) and a decent pair of speakers. Don't know about you but I don't like to watch a movie on the small screen (with small resolution) of a netbook and crap underpowered built-in stereo speakers.
