I know a guy who installed a PA system into his car like the cops have. If he's picking someone up he uses it to yell at them to hurry up as they are walking to the car. He used it to appoligize to the people waiting for a long time behind us at the drive thru ATM and sometimes he uses it to say stuff to people on the side of the road. The look of confusion on people's faces is absolutley priceless.
Best Buy's website is often inacurate about this kind of thing. At one point they showed Halo 3 to be released last year. I don't think they had it open for preorders, but the game was up on the site.
When Unreal Tournament 2004 was about to come out, they were the cheapest site that still had the special edition "in stock." Turns out they just kept taking pre-orders even though they didn't had already run out of the copies they had. They canceled my order and by that time I couldn't get the special edition anywhere.
It is my opinion that you should not take this kind of stuff on the Best Buy site too seriously.
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!"
