You know... Belkin has the CushTop as well. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=472656

I refused to pay $30 for it, but when a local K-Mart cleared them out (dusty and gross from sitting on the shelves at $30 a pop) for the lowly sum of $14.99, I hopped on the deal. What's interesting is that I find myself using it daily. The inner "hole" works great for cable management, or I typically just pop my Seagate FreeAgent Go in there, and run the cable up to the laptop. On my Latitude XT, the power adapter even fits in that area of the CushTop. This CushDesk looks to be a bit "shorter" in how high it boosts the laptop, and that's one of the key things I liked about the CushTop... So, I don't know how good this thing will work. I also agree that it's been done before, but is much more "standard issue" than Belkin's prior CushTop design, so maybe they are just trying to conform.

I have a Latitude XT, also purchased from the Outlet. Got a smokin' deal on it, as posted above.

That said, I am VERY impressed by this machine. I've used a ton of laptops, and am a gadget geek to the core. I *NEVER* expected this laptop to be as nice as it is. It's sleek (even a little gadget-lust worthy), super thin (LED display helps that), and works great. Apparently the latest driver updates help that even more.

Brushed aluminum-style outsides, lightweight, speedy (believe it or not). I can even game on it. It does a surprisingly good job with WoW. My biggest complaint is the hard drive is a PATA 1.8", so upgrades are limited, and it can't be easily swapped for testing other OS installations.

I would honestly say that the XT is one of the best laptops I've used, and it's a tablet to boot. I have owned it since October, and have absolutely loved it the entire time. It's become my primary laptop, shoving a MacBook and AspireOne to the curb.
It's so obvious. I'm surprised nobody has thought of it before!
I have one of these, and they are truly an excellent little device. It's a bit thicker than my iPod Shuffle, but seems lighter, as it's plastic. I love that it charges over straight-up mini-USB, no proprietary cable gimmicks. It sounds great, as others above have said. The screen is bright and clear, even if a bit small (what do you expect for such a small player?). I've used it over both the mass-storage (MSC) and Windows Media (MTP) protocols, and it works great with both. I have the 4gb model, and found it for $59.99 which seemed like an excellent price. I currently sync it to the Napster To-Go subscription plan, and have all the music I could ever want.

I love this little player.
Count me in! 360 stuff only tho, I refuse to own a PS3. :)
All of these guys are goobers, give the schwag to me instead. Good luck Ryan!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
