You know drool is bad for most gadgets, right?
Supertalent? WTF! I Just lost $50 bucks! Damn your lagging hide, CORSAIR!
UK? To China? Did they build a bridge over the english channel ?
Buy the first to have out the box DIVX and XVID support.

I was considering selling my archos when I saw the ZUNE HD but upon learning that it has such crappy codec support, I changed my mind. There's no excuse for what these companies do in terms of codec support. Archos uber-greedy method of CHARGING for support is better than no support at all :(

Company Flow, JuggaKnots, and Thirstin Howl III?

Somebody has 1/3rd good taste.
It's odd people are complaining about the "UI" or user interface and not the GUI. It's the "graphical" aspect of GUI you people are whining about, not the "USER INTERFACE" since you don't know how well or poorly it works.

Another one of those oddities when people shorten words and phrases unnecessarily and lose all meaning in the process. Sort of like calling a "Hermaphrodite" a "herme"
Insidius: He made the same mistake twice. Anandtech benches clearly show the 720 wiping out the e7500 in almost all nonsynthetic tests.

The xbit articles shows that the 720 overlocked to 3.7 is a match for the e7500 at 4.2. It's actually slightly ahead, and with an unlocked 4th core it steams ahead.

AMD has undercut intel in this range. Hell, I got a 710 for 110 dollars from tigerdirect and a 920 (yes 920) for 135 from newegg during a clearance they had a month ago.
Your replying abilities are almost as bad as your research. The price equivalent to that e7500 is a phenom x3 720.

See the difference? Especially when you ignore the synthetic tests. Besides getting an unlocked multiplier and possibility of a 4th core? Maybe you should get your facts straight before you make such a baseless claim. Let's ignore the fact AMD will support am2+ whereas 775 is pretty much dead.

BTW, you do realize some with some of the tests "LOWER EQUALS BETTER" ... right? Because it's actually a thrashing by the x3 720.
AMD is competitive at the low to mid-range. I don't see anything intel has that can compete with a Phenom X3 710 with the fourth core unlocked for $110 or so.
I don't like the bezel all that much either
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
