I think if HD makes sense for any kind of content, then for games. When I see movie trailers in HD resolution (apple.com/trailers), the difference between 480p and the HD resolutions are often hard to tell. The cameras (HD and 35mm) are not good enough yet, some shots are intentionally unsharp or just too dark, and whatnot. But I can easily see the difference between a computer game running in 640*480 and one running in 1024*768 or higher. The HDTV effect is much more dramatic for artificially created graphics.

Having said that, I think that Nintendo made the right decision anyway. People will buy that console because of the controller, the games and possibly the cheaper price. (Almost) no one will refuse to buy the Wii just because it is not HDTV-capable.
Hmm... they may be color-accurate, but I guess their viewing-angle sucks.
I need a miniature version of this for my window, to keep the insects out.
The DVB-T codecs are not correct: DVB-T can use MP2 as audio codec (in germany all channels use MP2; some have AC-3 as alternative audio track). And France announced to use DVB-T with MPEG4.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
