@Windows FTW

I'm so glad you mentioned common sense. Hopefully you should be able to comprehend the following -

1) The iPhone's market share has been growing at exponential rates since its launch. A small example - according to Gartner's, the iPhones market share in Q2 2008 was 2.8%. In Q2 2009 it was 13.3%. Also, sales are up 500%.
Sure, some of the recent spurt in sales may be due to the newly released iPhone 3GS, which is still unavailable in many regions of the world due to excessive demand (wait time in Singapore is 1 month). But with more people buying the iPhone, that leaves less people to buy WinMo phones.

2) Palm and Android - Palm's been on a sort of reneaissance lately, and Android's got rave reviews. Forget the iPhone, how's WinMo going to compete with these 2? Yea the HTC Touch Pro 2 is coming out soon, but guess what - so is the HTC Hero.

Oh yea - full disclosure - I'm using a HTC Touch. I hate it - and I don't blame HTC.

According to Q2 2009 data, Apple's market share is about 13.7%, as opposed to WinMo's 9%. That just shows what a hammering WinMo's been taking lately.

Maybe if this succeeds they'll say the Palm Foleo was ahead of its time.

Somehow, I highly doubt it will though.
You have the Corsair P128? I've been checking at Newegg, but haven't seen the 128GB iteration of the P series anywhere! Care to share where you bought from, and for how much?

P.S. - I really hope you weren't referring to the S128, which comes with an older generation Samsung controller/slower speeds
Hm good point, though actually if put in a google search for 'Zune', the first hit is Zune.com, which then automatically directs to Zune.net
Why would Microsoft get a .net domain for Zune HD?
Oh ... I get it now ... my bad
600k sold or 300k sold? If 600k then its already met (and surpassed) the original DS' first week total right.
Let it be, let it be (8)
let it be .... me
Twice the horsepower, 3 times the weight, and 1/4th the battery life? Go with the Dell I say.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
