I just ordered the top end Denon AVR-4310CI.

The HK has a few things I really liked reading about so far.

-I'd really like the Dolby Volume thing though. I hate when certain HD stations have a much lower volume. I also like
-I also wouldn't mind the ability to watch iPhone videos in HD.

So the question is, should I sell the Denon and try the HK or does my Denon do "Dolby Volume"? I need to find out before I set it up. I'm not sure the Denon has as many inputs with up-conversion either. I wonder who's on screen gui is nicer too?

I'm reading they probably wont support recording video still though. (why??? what is there problem with video????)
1) They support copy/paste
2) They allow me to record videos (qik.com at the very least)
3) They allow voice turn by turn driving directions
4) I don’t care too much about MMS, but they should support it!
5) Less slugish/lag
6) similar to SBsettings. I don’t want to have to dig through 4 menus just to shut on/off bluetooth
7) Flash support to play videos at least
8) Bluetooth A2DP
9) Multi Tasking (or at least the background push thing)
10) tethering

So again, I would be happy to stay vanilla as long as they at LEAST support copy/paste & recording video. If they dont support recording Video I'll be looking forward to jailbreak 3.0

wow I didnt know about directv2pc, very cool I'm going to give it a try.
Finally a 1080p with more lumens. I told myself I'd never buy
anything below 2000 lumens for brightness, but 1800 is close enough probably. Time to upgrade my 720p? Show I wait to see if newer Phlatlight models come out?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
