They have to wait until the Wii 2 - no iff ands or butts.
Wh? ... Why do Xbox games not work on the Xbox 360? or PS2 games on the PS3? To go HD you need a new video card - Old games that are not made for it WILL NOT WORK - this is the nature of consoles - no upgrades. So if old games will not work, you do not do this to a Wii, you just go to the next stage and make a Wii 2. Since it takes years to make a new console - with 2-3 years of telling people about it (you have to tell stockholders and game dev's) I would not expect the Wii 2 to come out until 2012-2014.
The PS3 Slim will be faster with the same spec's as the PS3 Fat.
Why? Well guess what, the failure rate on the PS3 fat was sooo high they just turned OFF one of the cell processors. If that once off processor is not ON, that is a speed increase.
Keeping in mind, when you program for the PS3 you have to factor in another possible failure of a cell processor, that games that account for this could get a nice speed boost.
I will not get a Bold after watching that. but will not get an iPhone either due it's poor job of doing email. 1st and foremost, it will be a work phone. So pretty iPhone looses. I need EMAIL. The other features are just nice, not needed.
It looks like I will be waiting on the next gen BB, or possibly a new HTC phone. HTC seems to be kicking both BB and iPhone in features...
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."
