From what I found online: Only 1x speed, but 16x graphics cards will work. Speeds of the interface will be between PCI and AGP bus speeds standard length - i.e. about an inch longer than the connector. Only thin cards will fit. Many performance video cards with heat sink/fans are too thick.

Validated Cards:
Visiontek Radeon X1300 PCIE 256MB Mfr #: 900237 (Heat sink that comes on unit is too long, you will need to change it to fit)

So it's not actually all that great. A step in the right direction, but they didn't go all the way. Adding a GT220 may not be all that much, but it is definitely better than nothing, and it helps to split the cost. If you don't want the additional graphics, then just get the laptop without it. If you want the extra graphics, then you buy the dock.
I'd assume that's why he put quotes around news men, because he was being sarcastic.

And if does matter what technology touchscreens are. Yes, they both achieve the same result in that they allow you to touch your screen and receive feedback, however whether or not your touch and how you need to touch your screen to receive said feedback is where the difference comes into play.

Capacitative screens are for people who like to stick their fat fingers flat on the screen and mash big buttons where as resistive screens often require the use of something like a stylus. Also, capacitative screens can be made with glass where as resistive screens cannot (as far as I know). This affects the feel of the device and also the cost of the device. Perhaps they didn't state these things for the first "99%" of devices that you knew of because capacitative screens were not widely used until the iphone began using them. But now it certainly does make a difference, if a device uses a resistive screen, you can almost certainly expect it to be mushy unless stated otherwise, where as capacitative you'll almost always be pressing your finger against a nice hard surface.
Yay, I could use an xbox 360
I'm already back at school but I'd still love to win!
What's with the ridiculously close recording? Why not give a full body view or something.

Still, it'll be interesting to see how this ipod touch turns out in the end. I can't see it having too much more than an added camera and maybe better (faster) processor than the current one. Certainly can't change the resolution of the screen or anything.

"O" Face has a different meaning in China than it does in the US of A.
woot, i'm due for an upgrade.
I'd love to win one of these.
I always forget how this thing works. But pick me!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
