I'd get a BlackBerry if the Browser didn't suck. WebOS for now...
Sweet I can talk to all of my Google Talk friends! Oh wait...
Trent had a career game after the hit by Wilson when he beat the Chargers. Overall his level of play has dropped however.

While Trent has personally taken the heat himself for the last few losses, theres nothing you can do without a running game.
"where did you get your laptop?"

"Toys R Us"

"oh....."
I don't mind Vista. In fact, I think the quick search (when you hit start, you can type things in). For example if you want to add/remove programs, you don't have to go to Control Panel (and from there its hidden somewhere). Just hit start, type 'prog' and the option to remove programs is there. Vista makes a lot of tasks I have to do go a lot faster.

What I don't like about Vista is that it literally takes at least 2 GB to run what XP is able to with 512 MB. I also do not like that I have to run command prompt as an administrator WHILE I AM LOGGED IN AS A LOCAL ADMIN....

I have run into many people who say "I hate Vista" yet cannot formulate any real reason not to use it. Sure if you're machine won't support Vista or you don't like that it is a system hog I understand but I've run into so many people complaining about stuff like UAC which I then told them "you know you can turn that off." Funny the people that UAC was intended for is the people that complain about it the most...
Its the pricing scheme for me
Actually considering how there are complaints rising about the installs on PS3 hard disks for games in the GB range, I'm sure thats a major concern for Microsoft who has a majority of customers with 20GB hard drives.
I like the title
My brother has an 2008 Acura TSX with the voice command/bluetooth. When he gets in the car, his phone calls go right to his car. I haven't seen him have a problem with his voice command.

Voice command using GPS is a whole different story though. Thats near impossible.

Interesting thing about the Focus SYNC systems. I had not heard of that.
I was hospitalized for 14 days at Children's Hospital in Buffalo in 2002. These machines are quite possibly the best thing possible to have. When I was in there, they had ancient N64s in their playroom that was the best thing to do when you are trying to forget you are in the hospital.

While I later got my xbox brought up, those N64s certainly helped me get through 2 weeks of annoying sick kids.

For all those complaining about the Kiosk design: guess what! They are all like that. Do you not think the hospitals have chairs? This isn't GameStop.

And these won't be going into individual rooms, likely for play rooms on each floor. And the amount of kids that actually are able to go to the playroom is still quite small considering many can't even get out of bed or are in therapy.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
