Tranquil ships T7 and T2e Atom media PCs {Engadget}
Jun 3rd 2008 5:19PM That would work, but it adds another $40 to the cost and wouldn't look very nice. The Mac Mini is a much better deal all things considered.

Jun 3rd 2008 4:00PM You can upgrade the video card to an HD2400 with DVI out which is more than capable of 1080p if you offload everything to the GPU. What I don't see is any way to get digital sound out of it. It's not much of a media PC if it only has stereo sound.

Apr 23rd 2008 1:15PM I just got these a couple days ago and I'll definitely be returning them to the store. I've spent hours trying to get the fit right and they simply aren't comfortable. They also don't stay in place when I'm working out and the control buttons are horrible. They're tiny and require way to much effort to press.

Apr 15th 2008 1:30PM Have you used the keyboard on an EEE? If you plan on using it to type papers, you'll be frustrated. The keyboard on the HP 2133 is much larger and easier to use (at least from everything I've read).

Apr 15th 2008 1:21PM Some of the people that comment on Engadget really amuse me. The only current advantage of 64bit is the ability to address 4+GB of RAM. Does any sane person need that much RAM in a computer with a 9" screen and a miniature keyboard? These computers are not designed for multi-tasking or gaming. And for those thinking the Atom will be the savior, it won't. It will improve battery life and nothing more. It's an in-order processor just like the Via C7-M and early testing shows the 900MHz Celeron-M to be faster than the 1.6GHz Atom.

What fantasy world do you live in? A fricking iPod classic goes for $250, but you want a full blown 8.9" subcompact notebook for $200? Hell, even the lowly 4GB nano goes for $150. Get real.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 features touchscreen, 720p movie mode {Engadget}
Mar 18th 2008 3:36PM This looks like a direct competitor to the soon to be released Samsung NV24 HD (10MP, 3.6X optical, 2.5" OLED, optical image stabilization, 720P 30fps video). This offers 5X optical versus 3.6X for the Samsung, but it also costs more (Samsung is $350). I'm looking forward to seeing reviews for both of these cameras.

"Sony can set prices as they please, or lower them whenever they wish."
I see this flat out wrong statement parroted by so many people it amuses me. Last I checked Samsung, Sharp, LG and Panasonic all make Blu-Ray players. So yeah, Sony can set prices on their own players however they like, but they won't sell any if these other 4 manufacturers drop their prices. The death of HD DVD does not mean Sony no longer has any competition.
