The current MacBook Pro is already powerful enough to play Blu-ray or HD DVD, so why would Apple add a decoder chip?

Creative Zen Vision W debuts in US

DVD Copy Control Association to lighten DVD restrictions

HP Japan outs Core 2 Duo xw4400/CT Workstation

Aug 9th 2006 4:19PM on Engadget

The xw4400 has been on the HP USA site for a few days already; I'm not sure why you need to go to Japan to find out about it. BTW, the 975 chipset does not have integrated graphics.

Dell Precision 390 workstation goes Core 2, too

Given the price, this looks like it's more likely to compete with the Olive system than the Sonos.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment.

Or something else entirely? Help!"
