If they do ditch the GBA port (or even if they don't frankly), I'd love to see some DS compilation carts released with some of the better GBA games. Frankly I wouldn't mind this even with the current DS Lite, as it would be much nicer to carry around a single cart, say, with all the GBA super mario games or GBA castlevania games....
And personally I'd love to see similar compilations of even older GB and GBC games. It's kind of a shame to lose those to the ages just because you can't use the physical carts any more.
It's hard to imagine why Nintendo couldn't do this - I know people complain about constant re-releases, etc. but I personally would love to be able to have a lot of the old games available.
Multi-touch here refers to accepting inputs from multiple fingers/etc. at the same time ( allowing for things like the pinching and stretching gestures seen on the iPhone, Microsoft Surface, and this demo).
The multi-touch that Lenovo uses is a reference to the ability to use either a finger or a stylus (non multi-touch displays would only work with a stylus or only work with a finger, but not both, depending on whether they were active or passive).
So it is interesting to see Dell offering this, especially with all the speculation that Apple is preparing some sort of tablet Mac which would use the multi-touch interface of the iPhone.
I guess this shouldn't be surprising, but watching the video, it seems like Windows isn't that fast on it - seems like that took about 18 seconds for Excel to launch and be usable. The video seems to end before the webpage they load up loads up.
I guess that still isn't such a big thing...... once you've launched the app, that should be it.
I am kind of thinking that it might be best to just use the Linux OS and OpenOffice though. I'm curious to hear more about this though. Seems like it could make for a really nice portable cheap writing machine.
The 8400M GS is an option on the XPSM1330, although it adds to the cost - otherwise it has a GMAX3100. The Sony SZ series offers switchable graphics between a GMAX3100 and 8400M GS.
Both of these machines will typically cost more (although an XPSM1330's base price can be made cheaper with the lowest possible CPU config, etc. which isn't an option with the MacBook). Either way, pretty different markets/machines.
I think Apple will most likely stick to integrated graphics only for MacBooks, as I think this is one of the things they use as a differentiating factor between the MacBook and MBP.
Yeah, I have to admit, I'm reluctant to get another MyBook. I had a 500GB one that worked well, but it also died out (although after about a year of use); wasn't a click noise issue, but it started saying that certain files couldn't be read, and eventually it got to the point where Windows would hang as long it was trying to open the drive.
I don't really get why HP still refuses to make a version of the tx with Intel chips. Is there any explanation for it?
Also, I really wish HP would make a version of the tx with an active digitizer. The passive digitizer is ok for touching, but it is really a pain for writing..... an active digitizer would be a lot better. Gateway has a 12" tablet now that is wacom penabled and has a similar price as the tx, so I'm not sure why HP can't do something similar.
The tx is a nice little laptop, but a wacom digitizer and a cooler running Intel chip would be a lot nicer.
Wait, you hate the iPod Touch, but you want an iPhone without the phone part? Unless it's because you're bothered by some of the missing things on the iPod Touch (e-mail client, being able to enter in calendar appointments and notes, a speaker, etc.), what is the difference? I'm just not sure I understand why someone who hates the iPod Touch would be happy with a phoneless iPhone.
I am a current AT&T subscriber, out of contract (have had a Treo 650 for over 2 years now). I'm interested in an iPhone, but would certainly love to be able to use it without having to commit to another 2 years, and I'd also like to be able to use my existing plan (since I get a premier discount on monthly service).
If I unlock the iPhone with this (or something similar), would I be able to just pop in my SIM from my Treo and use it (including visual voicemail), or would I run into problems?
Nintendo has a DS Lite "Lite" redesign ready to go?
