Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime squashes Wii HD rumors... again {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 1:12PM I wouldn't call it "upconvert" basically you need to scale the GPU and CPU up so they can render at 720 or 1080. It shouldn't be hard depending on the architecture, but basically with 3D models you can scale them to any resolution you want, it's not like 2D games where you would need redrawn spritemaps.
On the PC for example you can change the game resolutions at will and in fact on the Wii Dolphin Emulator, you can set the resolution to 1080 and play Wii games in HD, the lower polygon count and texture quality is still there, but its a vast improvement for playing on an HDTV. I wouldn't be unviable to sell two consoles in that manor, certainly they would see a lot of new sales from current Wii owners

Palm: webOS speed fix in the 'immediate future' {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 9:39AM As far as I know the pre has a gpu core but palm didn't play the license fee to use it
I figure they probably decided to pony up and give an additional boost to webos
If they give opengl to developers it also means we will see 3gs class 3d games come to a phone with buttons

Archos 9 up for pre-order in America for $50 more than anticipated {Engadget}
Nov 3rd 2009 8:28PM actually it's not the processor I was reffering to, it's the screen, up until 2.0, the supported resolution was HVGA
if you remember shortly after the release of the G1, an Australian company wanted to do a QVGA phone, but Google warned them against it, and anything higher than HVGA causes problems too, the first you can tell right away is the background not adjusting
the DROID is the first device to go beyond HVGA with a WVGA+ screen (slightly more than the 5A)
