Really great work, guys! The video/audio is excellent as is the content. I'm seriously enjoying it. Please keep this up!
I was just thinking about an Engadget post the other day on this when last night I saw the Palm Pre Exorcism video from Attack of the Show last night on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0qQURy6JG8
Ditto what @Guy Montag and a few others havesaid. The Dell 2408WFP. No lag issues, great color reproduction, and every input under the sun (HDMI, DisplayPort, 2 DVI, 1 VGA, component, etc) as well as a media reader.

If your employer has EPP w/ Dell even better as they warranty the monitor with advanced exchange (they'll swap it out before you ship it back).

Now if it were a slate tablet + LTE + ebook reader w/ a long life battery. Yes, crush the Kindle my pretty! :P
Oh sure. It'd be the first step towards me putting my toes back in the Windows pool :P
Great post! Also excellent stuff on the podcast as well. Good to hear another voice in the Engadget chorus.

I thought pen computing was interesting. Even more so once it stopped being expensive tablet PCs and moved more into the UMPC way of doing things. However once the iPhone came out and I fell for touch interfaces I simply lost interest in the idea of interacting with a pen. In my case, let's face it, I rarely write so why limit myself to an interface that asks me to write more? I'd rather have what was suggested on the podcast, that is, an elegant slate surface with a great on a screen keyboard (preferably running some type of OSX).
Personally, I don't have the problem. The keyboard is snappy (at least on the 3GS) and due to prediction I find I type far better on it than I do on devices with physical keyboards. When I picked up a G1 last fall I thought "gee this will be great having a keyboard!" Unfortunately the actual experience of flipping it sideways every time I had to type something and crank out accurate text on its keyboard in landscape proved to be far more inaccurate for me...and frustrating.

I of course agree with Josh that multi-tasking would be wonderful to have.
Yeah...great video demoing search. Search already failed me when it refused to find the ._ files I needed to clean up from a transfer of data from my Mac to my Win 7 laptop. Show hidden files, find hidden files...Type ._ and watch all the ._ files that I could actually see just vanish from the search. I ended up having to boot to XP and have XP find them using the silly little dog search feature. Thanks, Microsoft. :)
Paul comparing Chris to Pocahontas has to be the funniest thing I've heard on an Engadget podcast...which probably says a great deal about my sense of humor.

Thank you for stopping to ask him to explain. Made for huge laughs in the car on the way home from work. :)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
