Now _that_ would have been an appopriate device for the launch of Google Android! I wonder why they partnered with HTC to release that ugly Dream instead of going with LG.
Mix the Optimus with the layout of the TypeMatrix keyboard (www.typematrix.com). OLED displays are nice and all, but ergonomically, the Optimus is so nineties!
I can get a BD drive AND an HD DVD drive for a total of as low as 500$. Without HD burning capabiities, though, but BD-RE media are expensive as hell anway. Combo drives are great, but not for that price.
Sony should have implemented a better graphics processor instead of that simple mid-range PC gfx card. It also should have a faster optical disc drive. The joypad should have vibrations and a more organic shape like the 360 joypad and some controllers by Logitech. 720p for Blu-Ray and plain DVI without HDCP for games are must-haves.
You don't need to lower the resolution. With efficient encoding, you'll get at least 60 minutes worth of high quality HD video. That's enough for pr0n (I guess) and many animated movies. But in my opinion, that's less an advantage for the already cheapy HD DVD than for BD, because that would allow making inexpensive BDs and thus lowering the average price of BD titles.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
