Well gee, we're up to 12.1" screens now? The only thing that can classify this thing as a netbook now is to have an atom processor. When are we getting the 15", 17", 20" "netbooks"? I really want to know. Talk about missing the point.

This is really a nes on a chip and a cart with computerish things on it.

I'll use it with the xbox360 and my custom built mythtv box (for hdtv pvr services).

Chromehounds because who doesn't like huge mechs blasting the shit out of each other?

'Lost' is my favorite HD show!

TriZz, the drm in itunes limits you to using only apple ipod hardware, making steve jobs into a hypocrite.

Damn you #2, I came here to say that. :(

I hope they don't expect to sell many at that price. This is the age of the $500 x86 laptop.. it might not be a desktop replacement laptop, but it's still better than a silly embedded/pda system at a laptop form-factor. These things would sell better at around $300, then at least you could consider the battery life a competitive advantage.

$999? This isn't 1999...

#4-6 I demand inside shots of both sides of the pcb, stat!

#4, you already can.. kindof. The DVICO hdtvfusion 5 cards do both broadcast and cable, as long as the cable bit is unencrypted. (Around here I only get the broadcast locals from the cable) Some digital cable boxes can pass the signal over firewire too. With the right processing, a mpg2 HD stream for a 2hr movie will 'only' take 10-13gb. You can compress that down to ~4gb with divx/wmv without losing resolution or much quality. Add mythtv to the mix and you can schedule stuff to record too.
