  • Handhelds have been in decline for a few years now. Back during Y2K fever, they were a growth market. Remember Jobs being thankful he didn't release a PDA? Treos are popular among professionals but I don't really see them capturing the mass mar…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mercury7 thanks....I kinda think that a media center mini would have to be dual core though....I mean we are talking major processing power to be a good media center...I think that way anyhow, perhaps it wont be in the…
  • I'm torn on this issue. Accepting HD-DVD and Bluray is like making a Faustian bargain (quality at the expense of fair use). On the other hand if the formats become a niche like DVD-A and SACD, when will we as consumers see a mass market high def…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't find the info. My TV has a DVI input. I think I have found HDCP->DVI converters, will these be ok for use with Blue-Ray/HD-DVD? I would hate it if I couldn't …
  • The problem with reading a published patent is that distinguishing the "innovation" from the generic wordsmithing around it can be next to impossible. Without further investigation, the language may just be a scarecrow. A bunch of lawyers are go…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jaffi Intel is such a huge company though. I don't see them stumbling as Moto and IBM have. Their roadmap looks awesome. The most important thing is that if Intel stumbles, everyone else stumbles too. As Intel goes…
  • Harald, Nice catch. Good points. I'm drooling b/c I was always promised speed (68040, 604e, G4, G5, etc) but it was never delivered consistently. With Intel we get a public roadmap and a sure and steady ship (as far as the PC processor marke…
  • X86 Macs give Apple the potential to take on M$ directly. That doesn't mean it will happen for many years, if ever, but it is an option now. Apple definitely wouldn't do it unless they believed they could survive a one on one OS + other apps war. …
  • The Pentium Ms at half the Pentium 4 clock speeds are really competitive workwise. I'm going to scoop up a mini with one of these babies as soon as they are available. It's going to finally be the solution to playing HD MPEG4 AVC on the current …
  • The mini... AOpen's done all the design work for Intel already.
  • Secrecy was an overall bad thing for Apple, IMO. All it did was make people wait because they were concerned something new might be around the corner. How many threads were started on this forum to "confirm" new products based on the the phases …
  • My question is how far this USB-ness is going to go? If I can connect USB2.0 devices (iPod, PSP, digicam flash card... even hard drive), why would I want to get MCE2005? I hope I'm wrong but I still think MS wants to sell MCE2005. They have d…
  • These new hard drive slices for the mini are great. Port and hard drive expansion aren't issues anymore. (Still hoping for a built-in optical port though.) Does anyone know if the hard drives are connected via USB or Firewire?
