Wow, I like the idea of the pogoplug, and I like the idea of where they were going with this design, but I think they missed the mark.

Plus, Dell should be a little pissed that they were trying so hard to rip off the design of the Studio Hybrid. But I guess they wouldn't be, since they screwed it up so much...
Yeah, a search of the site shows no Zino HD.
Voicemail isn't free anymore? The last time I was at my folks' house, they still got voicemail on their Ooma, and I know they're not paying anything...
Man, over the years I have been such a fan of Archos, but this announcement has me so conflicted. Every Archos device I've had (and I've had about four of them), has been before its time in terms of features and abilities, but behind its time in terms of software and performance (they always seem to give their products capabilities that are just a tad too ambitious for the CPU they put in there).

But I know that with the proper tweaking (Cyanogen), Android runs almost perfectly on even the G1's hardware, which we all know is atrocious. So on a 1GHz mobile CPU? That must be smooth!

So that said, I just have a few concerns:

1) I like physical keyboards, but that's a personal preference, and with a screen this huge a virtual one probably won't annoy me as much
2) I wonder what kind of storage it has. I think I spotted a card slot, which makes me concerned that there isn't much flash storage on this
3) Price: again, Archos likes to nickle and dime you a bit on additional features. It doesn't usually annoy me, but I worry about how much this phone will cost to begin with, since there isn't a chance in hell that this will be subsidized in the states.
4) I kinda worry that that phone is going to be too big. That's a pretty big footprint it has...
This is so disappointing. The Cyanogen mod is the only thing that saved my user experience on the G1. Here's a tip for Google: if they hadn't chosen the worst hardware available for the first outing of their OS, I would never have gone out and rooted my phone. I could care less about the additional features it gives me (haven't even used tethering yet), I just want a functioning phone! After a few months with cupcake (which helped somewhat but not enough), I was just fed up. The Cyanogen mod was this phone's salvation.

Oh, and if Google seriously wants to discontinue support for G1's in the future, Cyanogen might be our only savior. It sounds like Google is seriously saying that only a year after the phone's release, there's a possibility that firmware upgrades will cease.

Ugh, I'm a huge Google fan, but this pisses me off.
This isn't intended to slight Sony or MS, but these consoles haven't been around long enough to make the progression of technology all that interesting. The PS1 was the oldest console there, so that could show you some progression, but I'd be much more interested in a display that took some good examples from every console generation. Then the history of these devices would be more evident.
Chevron 7 is in place!
Wow. Don't know why, but that looks an awful lot like the Sony Ericsson logo...
It looks like someone simplified/modernized Mousetrap.
I've craved a 360 for some time now. I will play very few games on it, but instead extend media and stream Netflix! Woo!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
