oh baby baby, how was i supposed to know?
Buy a Love with the Wind for less money as use that as a photo viewer
Ah, but the wind doesn't have a CF slot. Why wont they put a CF slot on a netbook?
why is there no comment box in the post about vista tv pack
it's because they don't want phanbouy to comment there, Luigi-with-marijuana-leaf-on-hat.
he posts too much so i'm totally gonna sit around and wait till he posts and then post a faux-affirmative reply to not-so-secretly contradict him! i can be completely wrong, but as long as i use a sarcastic tone i'm _always_ right!
It wasn't interesting enough.
Because they want you to head over to EngadgetHD to read the full review and to make comments.
because you have to go to engadgethd to comment
thats pretty gay, if they dont want you to comment then dont post it on here, so i'll comment on it in this topic, you probably wont get this update "legally" without getting a new PC
Looks like an iPhone!
For 800 bucks there better be a lens on the other side of that thing.
Reduce the price by $200. Add touch screen with the ability to stylus edit photos on the fly.
Ummm, hello? 160GB of storage? I think that warrants the $800 price tag considering the "similar" items on the market.
*disclaimer - if it works really, really well for its intended purpose. I'd also like to know how effective this thing is as a PMP (i'm not expecting much, though).
As with the p5000, it supports DivX, Xvid, MP4, and a lot of other formats. It's one of the best. It may be bulky but it's storage is not flash-based. Screen is 4-color instead of the 3-color RGB. Green is the most difficult color to render so Epson created a screen that uses two shades of green to display the green more accurately.
I could go on and on but I would suggest you check the p5000 specifications.
I have the old p-3000... Love it except you can't zoom in on RAW files, only JPEG.
From what I read, you can zoom in on RAW with these new models.
Can somebody explain me why this brick is so expensive. For the half of the price ( 600 ) I can buy a Ipod classic with a camera connector, and in the same time will have more functions.
I heard the camera connector on ipod is slow in transfer, plus it drain the camera's battery too, also it doesnot support raw.
it really is a shame when such a nice looking device comes out and you find it does ONE thing. no excuse to limit any computing device to such a narrow scope.. and for that price, yeesh. with the video and audio capabilities being an afterthought, this reeks of a company that had big pmp dreams but failed.
Yeeah, it's really expensive, but it's a totally different market. This is a (semi) professional photography tool,an easy way to store a backup of your pictures if you're on the read, and the best there is. If you compare it to the Nikon coolwalker or the canon thingy it's not that expensive.
Also it's probably at least in part designed to be used in the field, like maybe when you are on the back of a truck shooting wildlife in Africa or something or when you're wearing gloves. So it has nice big buttons, etc. It's not meant to be a sleek pmp for on the plane or train.
As to the Ipod solution. I don't think it can show raw pictures (or nef or dng or whatever raw format you use) which is what you shoot when you spend that much money on photography equipment. Maybe there are plugins, but this thing (just guessing) probably does a lot of the processing/rendering in hardware instead of software. Making it probably faster in rendering a 5-10 meg raw file.
