  • Is there a vibrate function? Is there a way to turn off the phone part while leaving the iPod part on? (Useful on planes.)

  • I just managed to pre-order the $600 PS3 today at Gamestop (thanks to the heads-up on Joystiq.com). Interesting note...All 16 people reserved the premium PS3. The sales guy also mentioned that Sony has some agreement with Ebay so people can't sell…

  • The article about TDK's 200GB Blu-Ray discs mentioned that they are 6 layers instead of 8 and each layer is 33.3GB. Do you think that a dual-layer 66.6GB Blu-Ray disc could be read by first-gen Blu-Ray players? An extra 36.6GB over the standard 30…

  • What I don't understand is why does the BluRay version of Training Game uses mpeg2 instead of VC-1 like the HD-DVD version. It's made by the same company. BluRay can accept the VC-1 codec. You think Sony would go to someone that has a firm grasp o…

  • I just read an interesting artical on DigitalBits.com that compares the video quality of Samsung's new BD-P1000 Blu-ray Disc player over componenet vs HDMI & the component looked better. Story Here.
