200mW doesn't seem like an awful lot - they must be putting up a base station every 500 meters especially if they using the piddly internal antennas that all the 'cool' phones have. most wifi equipment only transmits at 100mW and uses frequencies close enough to what this thing is using
English is the new Dutch! srsly these guys don't bother translating anything into dutch anymore. these days dutch is just a fucked up version of english
agreed. i only buy stuff after its gone down in price a good bit. can't stand this crap
especially with companies like Intel around who have 30+ years of tech stocked up and are slowly releasing slower, crippled versions of it as "filler technology". Moores law is merely a profit-maximising scam, nothing magic about it. Fuck it i'm sure those bastards have already have all the processors for 2012 stored in a dark cellar some place ready to be shipped to uninformed 15 year old gaming yuppies around the world all excited about their "new" processor and 15800GTFO card.
Whats that slot for? floppy drive or a really big smartmedia card? maybe its for the not yet announced SuperSmartMediaPlus card that is going to kick those evil, DRM infested SD cards into oblivion
there's no reason hd-dvd couldnt survive as just an optical storage format, i sort of wish they started making HD-RAM discs anyway. i own almost 0 original DVD movies produced by studios - The pirate bay replaced those a long time ago so hd-dvd's dependence on studios is slightly exaggerated.
of course now most of the manufacturers have thrown in the towel like 3rd party CD-burner app writers for OS X when itunes got popular only the Evil Empire can save it, and Microsoft really do like pushing their own formats
Another forgetable, generic looking Windows mobile device. honestly, those things are all so similar its not even funny. and Windows mobile certainly isn't anything to write home about
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"My father-in-law is heading back to school in the spring and wants a laptop for Christmas. The only catch is their budget is around $400 and he does not want a netbook. He's not very "tech savvy" at all and doesn't need a hoss of a machine (not that $400 could get you one). We would like to get it for him as soon as possible and would love some input."
