Swap the Fn and Ctrl keys round so they are in the proper order.

A Higher res screen of the same physical size would be nice as would a built in 3G modem.

That said - perfectly happy with it for the price (using it right now to write this comment). Performance is pretty snappy and there is no noise/heat to speak of. Keyboard is good (apart from Fn/ctrl issue). Even the battery life is ok - but looking forward to a larger capacity version to be available either from MSI or via a third party.

Story also confirmed on the Microsoft Vista blog, see http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2007/06/13/the-devil-is-in-the-details.aspx

I can see a 4 rectangles in the appropriate places around the Windows logos on my copies of Vista Ultimate and Vista Ultimate 64-bit DVD's. Cannot tell if the picture is correct, but now I'm going to have to try... If this is a hoax, it got me.

The next time that Apple is on an analysts call, can someone ask them why they have to take their online store completely down to be able to do a product update? It strikes me that handling a change of product content for an online store is something that you should be able to do without downtime - imagine if all of Amazon's stores around the world had to go down everytime a new product was introduced.

That said, refresh is going in one of my Firefox tabs to see what the new products are ;-)

Yes please. I would use them to listen to the Engadget podcast. That way I would be able to hear all the background noise such as fire-engines, the neighbour’s dog barking and random construction noise with much greater fidelity. The SE530's would rock so I can get the full depth of bass and rich undertones of the guy with the jack-hammer in the street. My current white headphones just don't do it justice. Thanks!

It is about DRM free music tracks and videos.

Standard battery life is a whopping 2.5-4.5 hours hours according to the US Sony Store Spec:-

Ouch. That's kinda a killer flaw for this kind of device is it not?

Folks are missing an important factor - the Wife Acceptance Factor.

While the price is a little steep, I'll probably be buying one as I have to travel a lot and will save the money by being able to Skype home. I of course will use my laptop or smartphone - but I need something that looks, feels and smells like a phone to convince the wife to use it. Leaving a machine switched on just so I can call home and use on of those DECT jobs that connect over USB has been seriously considered but the interface to use Skype from the phone has allways put me off.
