You keep believing that.
You know, it _was_ also illegal to wire tap phones without a warrant.
Whens the last time you saw a mouse, webcam, printer/scanner, wifi dongle or a voip headset connected via SATA? That's why USB3.0 doesn't use SATA to archive high speeds.

Do you know what does use the SATA spec to achieve high speeds? eSATA.
Bluetooth dongles and printers are a PERFECT example of why it still makes sense to build a board with "legacy" 2.0 ports. The 3.0 chipsets are still relatively expensive and almost all devices you use with them (bluetooth, printers, most USB drives, phones cameras) either don't need 3.0 speeds, or don't yet support 3.0 speeds.

Going all 3.0 is at this point just a waste of money.
That's the rugged... If it's glass right to the edge, how big a drop do you think it could take?
I love how it's so god dam shinny that the camera actually focuses of it's OWN reflection. Has any one tried to use it outdoors yet?
These people clearly don't "get" the internets. I, and I'm fairly sure a huge number of people, wouldn't have know or cared about any of this.. had the waiter not been fired.
No, he didn't mean the Touch Diamond 2, mark. He meant the Touch2. HTC's follow up to their early (before the TP and TD, after the TyTN II).

@Lionel Y: So far they're both yet to be released AFAIK, but the main differences are just screen size and styling. The Touch2 looks more "budget" to me.. to be frank.

They'll both have the (by now) stale 528 Quaqcom shipset. Since I have a Diamond and a Touch Pro I'm waiting for the next internal spec bump. Though I am lusting over the wider and over all larger TP2 display.
Where did it say it didn't have a battery? And how would a USB display be better or more useful that a low spec PC.

If you want a USB display, buy a usb display.
What the hell are you talking about. Why would you expect to get a ~$300 ish discount just for living in the US..

Do you mean after a carrier gives you a subsidy it'll be ~$300 cheaper than the unlocked version?
The P stands for Progressive, and refers to the video scan lines, meaning the 1080 scan lines are continous one after the other and not every other line. Every other line would be interlaced, 1080i.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
