Branson is just the financier, this is Burt Rutan’s baby. And keep in mind that NASA and the Air Force were doing essentially the same thing using late 1950s tech with the X planes.

Simply because Palm devices have built-in IR ports

I have Google nav on a MT3G, and I have a 2 year old Garmin Nuvi. The Google app is a nice thing to have in your pocket all the time, but there is no way it is a better on-dash nav device than the Garmin... or even a Snoop Dogg equipped Tom Tom I'd guess.

It might be bettter at finding the latest destinations that aren't on my Garmin map, but the Google app only speaks the tuirns some of the time. The map isn't as easy to read while I'm driving and isn't as stable as the dedicated device. It also won't just let me turn it on and use it as moving map display of my destinationless travels, something I like to do just to display appreching street names.

I know voice search works with the nav app on the Droid, and I understand and appreciate the value added Googe to my phone, but I won't be giving away my Garmin anytime soon.



Blockbuster + AnyDVD or DVDFab + Handbrake + Backups = No problems here.
A Sony SRSBTM30 is working well for the GF and I, not exactly pocket size but easily portable anyway. I paid $49 a couple of months ago, the price is $70 today.

Volume control over BT with my MT3G works great, but not at all from the GF’s 3GS.
Bliptronic 5000 might be the the best gadget name ever.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"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!"
