Do you best job and hate dedicating -- of the united calvary he he's he's he's he's easy -- we can keep that experience especially. If there brings up today in Italy's calibration equipment I think that's awesome to hear from him David if Austin we got a much about spotlight."

" They actually -- from what I have learned a very extensive training program especially around holidays to make sure that all their employees working their respective locations know exactly what they're talking about it when someone sends -- to the TV section you're gonna be talking to someone. Who knows a lot about tedious but they also all have a very large general knowledge of all the different sections in the store I think that's awesome but I've also had experiences in big -- personal experiences not not specific."

" as it is up front I didn't he can the Mac mini except for the price my life -- easily download video dvd playback on our. Home theater system pretty much for Europe no complaints front -- works great for video audio dvd playback. I spent a few weeks with -- hybrid biggest difference between the studio hybrid and the Mac mini is OS-X. And you get more hardware for your cash from -- that you with Apple with one major exception. There's actually new wireless built in wireless is extra. Silly looking as this is a home theater device you're probably going to hard wired computer performance going to be a lot better at --"

" Or are -- necessarily true I think that wireless device -- lot of our computers -- our counselors are tethered to eat and how big is your house. Our fair share large apartment."

" Okay everybody I -- staying at the first level I'll tell you different you're the first program -- it -- that hasn't hard wired home your PC and it's good enough. It's excellent -- I have to say."

" Or black or brown leather. And so. -- put this.

It it's really well on a bookshelf so. 200 gig ethernet which is nice. And yet I still can't believe there's a wireless option to send our option. We're taking fabulous bamboo -- off of here.

Wireless I nice yeah bystander."

" I find it fascinating there's no wireless built in that one both of -- are awesome low power units for home theatre your desktop your kitchen the infamous kitchen PC yes. Exactly what about on the -- EPC. Okay so. Here's the thing about that you boxes and home theatre PC when you're talking about the Mac me your adult hybrids are essentially notebook part without the expense of -- notebooks the expensive part the monitor movement in my battery those of the expensive parts of the notebook. So it's notebook parts -- into a small case. He boxes and -- PC notebook which is a really low power notebook without the screener app which means it's 299 dollars.

" Not -- is not very many games have done it yet what if you basically if you want to Big Three. PC but what about -- hand Linux on on the box you should be able romantics just fine. It's basically to the campaign PC. It'll pull corporate -- beater PC if you don't want Blu-ray and -- car PC browsing computer you want some for the kids -- homework on and if you like flexibility of a full desktop operating system. You will abstract of the media center software but it'll do fine -- like -- more options and something like an Apple TV or media center expander.

" You can record excellent my surround system you know suddenly getting a new one if you virtual system when it's Sony's PCT 100. And look pretty small -- or get together it's not. And how good the virtual surround systems are in the Sony HT CP one hundred's good -- they're living there in the same presence thanks."

" I NG it would actually touched on virtual surround sound lately -- house and here's a quick explanation for those of you may be wondering what it is. Well typically to achieve surround sound one would purchase a 51 or 71 system. Which uses multiple speakers to kind of you know mimics the effect of -- happening all around you. However if you're in a small space is too hot -- the house we'll positioning about the speakers around the room. In my opera virtual surround sound system now the virtual assistant usually has once -- speaker in it quietly on your television and then -- offer. The single speaker works by expecting the sound waves in such away they seem to be coming from all sorts differently it's. Psycho acoustics Psycho acoustic with the science. That's totally collision with the Apple doesn't sound better than your TV standard speakers and I'm worried that since you're coming off the trees surround sound system. That might not be enough you're spoiled little ears -- most of the Jake surround sound system it was pretty -- it -- I would kind of house so we'll just assumed that it was relatively good have been edited out. I've never used HT CT 100 that it received a really good review on CNET. Ticket price for what it is to it -- and united under -- these units actually go for between 699000. And they're not cheap devices. I'm similarly prices the Philips HD -- 6500. But according to -- the sound quality wasn't quite up to snuff compared to Sony model. Uncertain looking to sell outer Anthony dollars I might recommend them that -- system. In that price range like they've got the Sony brought -- DE Ph.D. X 500 system. Or alternately the Panasonic SE PT 66. Both are really highly rated there around that price range won't break the wallet or paying take your chances that the virtual system doesn't -- isn't accurate yes. Yeah and -- anyway and lot of that."

" It's one of those things were some people love the way this sounds of people don't put it there if they're done well they sound. These it's freaky how well they work. Yeah yeah see you'd think they found you can't be written down I was really do I still I still prefer multiple speakers have also recently spent some time over -- will be with system earnings from all the intricacies of stress cents a and now I I can basically here to -- exactly how suck. Every. Now equipment in my home theater song I'm sorry it's not been very hard for you it was knows it was wonderful ones want to go over hang out there and watch movies and those -- I don't care 71 system -- and it really change. But let me just that was like my big first -- like."

" A first home entertainment purchase. Parent and undid it TV thing we're doing so I wanted decent sound system so why I shopped for like weeks and pick -- right one. Like 800 bucks and thinking -- there and a lot of money that is a lot of money."

" It's amazing and that's the film -- speakers you can start. Spending so much money so quickly so quickly change."

" Now if you want to get your fifteen seconds of Internet famous and that the video only need to do is a critter itself in front of a video camera asking a question no longer than fifteen seconds for verbally then I'll Clinton's YouTube and send -- a link with the question in the subject line.

" I understood that patient hasn't I think issue difficulty with flash."

" Yes he is very perceptive review mister Norton -- had using you you -- it okay."

" Alastair -- this email he says nobody seems to have done a recent real world speed comparison between the different brands it ST EC media. I press that a 150 time -- can beat out classics ST HC. I'm right performance of my own 150 times generic card is substantially slower than some reported class work cards are real world performance. And become clear is that not all are created equal --"

" Oh boy. So we start with a whole life so so you did go to bison. -- CDs dvds you'd be mavericks. Like that ran or insert -- greater meaning this corporate where I think the store -- you go. I the store branch of the store it's probably a good brand. Gigabyte and the reality is some guy in office somewhere got the cheapest deal on discs he could hit. And they wrapped the store's label around those this and they show up in your favorite big box store. You get things like -- Rico archival grade disks and there are generally were you basically hires and in the media are actually manufactured by the vendor. This is part of the nightmare. Flash cards. Plus the simple fact that there are a lot of people who pirate or fake flash cards you mentioned having a generic flash card that generally means you're probably not gonna get these super cool guy high performance. Security department that yes okay secure digital it's basically it's a substantive EST standard support storage sizes greater than the two gigabyte limit of the original ST. And it's faster to the memory controller for SBC. Is newer than one for ASCII it's easy to point device in the case of the card. Do you not buying SPC card for your older and it's the only device."

" Right speed is important for digital still cameras -- switch to shoot continuous night. -- camera can't write -- data it from the previous data hasn't finished its new digital video cameras that I use ST -- speed is also an important factor with many requiring specific level of speed. Yeah that's what class reading come here. They're designed to guaranteeing. Minimum write performance."

" This is what of those things is the math and look you know I'm not bad it's like smashing if not it's like it's late it's late HD it's like they could pick one great spec but instead -- At seventy. Keep things interesting can't he -- up for -- anyway I'll like in this according to Wikipedia. Specified island minimum rate speeds based on the best fragmented state -- memory unit is occupied. Here began last 22 megabytes per second. Class four megabytes per second class six megabytes per second thought kind of makes sense you know -- two ports -- out. That what this means that there's nothing preventing a class two entity to card from one vendor -- faster and class four card from another. The class rating only guarantees a minimum speed McCartney written to -- Not that fast because."

" And when you're it's 4 o'clock and Sundays here it is the kid's soccer game need extra memory card the best thing you want to do is be able as stupid does expect the ports are -- that's really important your life. Now in terms of which vendors produce faster as PC cards well you don't want there aren't a lot of flash memory roundups we did find it pretty good SEC roundup by asking textbook case -- with the gates the gates he cards first -- and can't do.

He'd be building with a single company could build something that would pound the device with a single leap in any case will get a roundup of the US TC cards.

For example SanDisk SDC class six card was outperformed by -- pro -- classic car that costs considerably less than this and this part so. That's interesting. Because you would think I mean it's and did. It's cheaper got it got certain name to that you would expect it to perform in a certain way you've -- UK for the big brain right what the big brand name performance to be better well guess again and a conference of -- part roundups are pretty much impossible -- so lets you want to bind blind. Your best bet is to check out the digital photography forums. And shopping sites like Newegg or Amazon post user reviews to see how bad that is the easy part. You're looking at Mike -- are really it's basically pissed off photographers. Post a lot of responses on -- talking about how bad particular brand of particular sampling of particular brand has over time sometimes for. Performance changes."

" Absolutely and it thank you guys have ideas of where to find a breakdown of ST HD cards and reviews in excellent revision3.com. The web our inbox -- Tekzilla have been abuzz for quite some time about Google's android mobile device platform -- and and the pre sales on T-Mobile G one formerly -- DC dream which runs android are in the millions going through the roof. Now we've received a working model hey dozens of October 22 but are inside connections scored just Ryan block editor at large for gadget and co founder of GB GT. And rumor has it he's fallen in love or out of love we're gonna find out with the first android phone. Operating system hardware or both for the inseparable inseparable so android describes Google's mobile operating system the same way that iPhone has they're kind of mobile -- saturn's -- which it which actually runs not only on the iPhone. I have an -- iPod touch you know Microsoft has Windows Mobile. Not yet has Symbian. So they're number of mobile operating systems this is this is that the latest Smartphone elastic. And -- Hearkens back to preaching the greatness of -- and prohibit exactly -- the it would be key features that it makes android different from the others are smart form or to signal the bicycling so. The thing that people are most excited about is the fact that Google Google basically completely open source via. So when this device launches on October 22 -- is it on the day or thereabouts going to basically release of the source code. For the device or for the operating system running. And now with that muses that. You can hack this thing pieces and you can get is deepened and then as -- as you need to with adding you know your own apps res gaming. Tether you to your laptop."

" Hey I do understand believe it is is this the instant tech support nightmare for T-Mobile or because I just I think of I think you've. You know open source I love it and happy it's cool the idea that millions of developers released thousands of developers -- on -- to make it better I think it's even more awesome I'm not gonna be restricted to a stupid or am I heard. If you're gonna be sort of a single channel to get the stuff on your phone or can I really through any patch onto a more."

" So becomes out of box wit. Unauthorized apps. And disabled and what that means is -- you're supposed to get the apps through the store like a marketplace kind of some web apps are. You don't have to you can you can run apps that have not been quoted court authorizes an all that means is that Google. Basically just checked on the developer to make sure that they are who they say there right right it's like Apple where Apple looks at every single app that comes through and says yes we want this that we now they're not checking for quality or content they're distracting nature are you -- or in case if something goes horribly wrong we want to be able to get hundreds and -- small Third World country could be doing something affairs for this application. It's she's basically unless you go to the special story it's up to use to vent your hunt more -- so when you get the device if you want to go outside the store and install your own apps that are not you know Google. That it. -- developers first. You -- that there's an option deep -- if you're gonna get that far -- you're gonna be hacking I think I mean. I doubt that's the kind of person who really because it protects anyway. How is it as a phone as texting device is is it even -- or somebody Smartphone yes -- as phones it's not bad is very raw RAI mean. I don't know part is that Google -- I'm never -- huge fan. I'm they've got great functionality and they do a lot of things right but. Do you lie is kind of an after it he just feels very very -- form follows function it's just form follows. It's I don't know how many people are gonna switch to this thing from the I mean if you really like the iPhone experience is not really substitute it isn't it is the anti. In that regard. Because it's run its versus the iphone's you know -- finished Hoover -- refine everything's like Google maps is it reviewed so well yeah I think he's done so beautifully it this is well integrated and it's nice and and it feels like -- 2008 device but it's still does -- I'm I'm really excited. For the potential it has as an open system and not so much what has box out of box experience that interest. Where we are in six months when it's been hacked to pieces right and I can do anything could ever possibly imagine that because you can go as deep into the OS and you can possibly think. That's neat that's unusual that's that's not we have."

" HT sees -- hardware makers that make pretty hard permanently species Jones. How about -- you -- based apps Google docs Gmail I mean I was actually shocked at how fast and happiness was working yet ME all the Google apps work well as expected. You've got out of box UTU. She now maps. Calendar contacts not that anyone really use contacts affect the and it contacts thing is is my biggest -- get that later -- you've got a version of Chrome it's not called -- it's called browser. Which is very generic. -- and partly -- from code base in the probably brand -- later. -- announced browser. I am so there's a lot of Google code that comes with it out of box and then of course the marketplace starts -- it all works pretty well if you're happy your iPhone if you're happy -- Blackberry yours if you're in love with Windows Mobile you're probably gonna switch this unless you're Kennedy. I don't know about that I think it could be an alternative to has some casual Blackberry users not a corporate device yet there's no corporate you know enterprising support it's all very Google too right. So if you want to use exchange if you want to use Blackberry Enterprise Server. You can use this device is just not possible I mean it's really Gmail only. So for iPhone users might be good alternative if you really want to geek out. Witnessed mobile users and and in palm users this is the device because when his mobile Alderman Davis back over the last couple of years that's it as as you know as most people now -- I'm I'm trying to be. Nice -- you're being very good yeah I know I I am. Nobody is there level operating systems that bad -- they haven't had a lot of forward motion and they actually I think that Microsoft really -- it -- will be able to come to market. With something like -- Steve Ballmer one point said you know how many mobile Linux groups are have there been out there you know how many devices that produced. Almost I mean they're a lot there's you know there's -- in line though and there's always mobile Linux groups but haven't gone anywhere. Open handset alliance which Google pioneered with the with with the release an android injury itself. This devices the first actual time pad a good working open mobile WiMax. Smartphone or so there's no headphone Jack large headphones -- are each species proprietary dongle. The other major complaints on the phone. Well. Part of the user paradigm that they're going after here is that this -- can run on. Touch screen and a touch screen keyboard and a keyboard you know. Sometimes with a -- you know like twelve -- sometimes about. So there are some concessions that get made for example in the browser there's -- stop but because they don't assume that -- touch screen -- So you have to the menu button and it -- little things like that where they're not really considering what what what kind of enhancements can be -- To the user experience this thing that they have really heart where. This is not really entirely optimize for that's in and on the other side. They expect you to use the keyboard. Constantly instead of having anything on screen. So yeah I mean if you're on the train and you need to one hand -- found break and and he got you can -- you -- sideways and then. -- so it'd -- it doesn't have the same kind of you know one hand ability as. Finally by someone could. Develop a patch for the operating system only enter it should have done that's that the android I if I'm not mistaken does have. One hand to touch screen keyboard built in I think that the disabled it. On this device to kind of push that -- as a keyboard and not be confusing. Because given to me keyboards and its messy. But yeah I mean there are few things in here and some of it might get fixed some of my hacked around some of it might it be that way proper. So are there any other android devices coming in the near future yes there -- lot of companies who joined the open handset alliance Motorola. Spring and dared devices coming. I don't know when they're going to be year probably next year and I mean I think it's it's foolishness in that they wouldn't be at least more than one device out market in 2009. But you know that the GTU. -- think people -- GT which I'm sure of the father or what had you know the following this device when spring's gonna have there's nothing has been announced yet. And so unfortunately. I did it to be too long but.

Yeah yeah this this is this -- system that has a lot of potential outside -- mobile space. So I mean it's not unfair to assume you know they're there might be. An iPod touch it you know kind of equivalent of this mobile operating system or they can search and placement on an ever expected. -- PC makers everywhere when it's awfully. They've been waiting for something like this until now it's all just been witness he went as about it."

If there brings up today in Italy's calibration equipment I think that's awesome to hear from him David if Austin we got a much about spotlight."

Who knows a lot about tedious but they also all have a very large general knowledge of all the different sections in the store I think that's awesome but I've also had experiences in big -- personal experiences not not specific."

I spent a few weeks with -- hybrid biggest difference between the studio hybrid and the Mac mini is OS-X. And you get more hardware for your cash from -- that you with Apple with one major exception. There's actually new wireless built in wireless is extra. Silly looking as this is a home theater device you're probably going to hard wired computer performance going to be a lot better at --"

" Or are -- necessarily true I think that wireless device -- lot of our computers -- our counselors are tethered to eat and how big is your house. Our fair share large apartment."

" Okay everybody I -- staying at the first level I'll tell you different you're the first program -- it -- that hasn't hard wired home your PC and it's good enough. It's excellent -- I have to say."

" Or black or brown leather. And so. -- put this.

It it's really well on a bookshelf so. 200 gig ethernet which is nice. And yet I still can't believe there's a wireless option to send our option. We're taking fabulous bamboo -- off of here. And they've basically this is what looks like. Normally they have six colors you can choose. If you're into color coordinating -- six colors on the base model without having to pay extra hours that six -- basically they had -- into that everybody quartz stones regularly only applies poses a basic I was and that the best part about this though.

" Yeah but it gives you -- one point 83 core two duo one gigabyte memory eighty gigabyte hard drive and it burned the CDs -- done not dvds via. And it's -- an option for Blu-ray playback and no keyboard or mouse but it does have OS-X yes. Which is definitely a plus I'm front row Apple remote and wireless networking. Wireless I nice yeah bystander."

" I find it fascinating there's no wireless built in that one both of -- are awesome low power units for home theatre your desktop your kitchen the infamous kitchen PC yes. Exactly what about on the -- EPC. Okay so. Here's the thing about that you boxes and home theatre PC when you're talking about the Mac me your adult hybrids are essentially notebook part without the expense of -- notebooks the expensive part the monitor movement in my battery those of the expensive parts of the notebook. So it's notebook parts -- into a small case. He boxes and -- PC notebook which is a really low power notebook without the screener app which means it's 299 dollars.

" You can record excellent my surround system you know suddenly getting a new one if you virtual system when it's Sony's PCT 100. And look pretty small -- or get together it's not. And how good the virtual surround systems are in the Sony HT CP one hundred's good -- they're living there in the same presence thanks."

" I NG it would actually touched on virtual surround sound lately -- house and here's a quick explanation for those of you may be wondering what it is. Well typically to achieve surround sound one would purchase a 51 or 71 system. Which uses multiple speakers to kind of you know mimics the effect of -- happening all around you. However if you're in a small space is too hot -- the house we'll positioning about the speakers around the room. In my opera virtual surround sound system now the virtual assistant usually has once -- speaker in it quietly on your television and then -- offer. The single speaker works by expecting the sound waves in such away they seem to be coming from all sorts differently it's. Psycho acoustics Psycho acoustic with the science. That's totally collision with the Apple doesn't sound better than your TV standard speakers and I'm worried that since you're coming off the trees surround sound system. That might not be enough you're spoiled little ears -- most of the Jake surround sound system it was pretty -- it -- I would kind of house so we'll just assumed that it was relatively good have been edited out. I've never used HT CT 100 that it received a really good review on CNET. Ticket price for what it is to it -- and united under -- these units actually go for between 699000. And they're not cheap devices. I'm similarly prices the Philips HD -- 6500. But according to -- the sound quality wasn't quite up to snuff compared to Sony model. Uncertain looking to sell outer Anthony dollars I might recommend them that -- system. In that price range like they've got the Sony brought -- DE Ph.D. X 500 system. Or alternately the Panasonic SE PT 66. Both are really highly rated there around that price range won't break the wallet or paying take your chances that the virtual system doesn't -- isn't accurate yes. Yeah and -- anyway and lot of that."

" It's one of those things were some people love the way this sounds of people don't put it there if they're done well they sound. These it's freaky how well they work. Yeah yeah see you'd think they found you can't be written down I was really do I still I still prefer multiple speakers have also recently spent some time over -- will be with system earnings from all the intricacies of stress cents a and now I I can basically here to -- exactly how suck. Every. Now equipment in my home theater song I'm sorry it's not been very hard for you it was knows it was wonderful ones want to go over hang out there and watch movies and those -- I don't care 71 system -- and it really change. But let me just that was like my big first -- like."

" A first home entertainment purchase. Parent and undid it TV thing we're doing so I wanted decent sound system so why I shopped for like weeks and pick -- right one. Like 800 bucks and thinking -- there and a lot of money that is a lot of money."

" It's amazing and that's the film -- speakers you can start. Spending so much money so quickly so quickly change."

" I understood that patient hasn't I think issue difficulty with flash."

" Yes he is very perceptive review mister Norton -- had using you you -- it okay."

" Alastair -- this email he says nobody seems to have done a recent real world speed comparison between the different brands it ST EC media. I press that a 150 time -- can beat out classics ST HC. I'm right performance of my own 150 times generic card is substantially slower than some reported class work cards are real world performance. And become clear is that not all are created equal --"

" Oh boy. So we start with a whole life so so you did go to bison. -- CDs dvds you'd be mavericks. Like that ran or insert -- greater meaning this corporate where I think the store -- you go. I the store branch of the store it's probably a good brand. Gigabyte and the reality is some guy in office somewhere got the cheapest deal on discs he could hit. And they wrapped the store's label around those this and they show up in your favorite big box store. You get things like -- Rico archival grade disks and there are generally were you basically hires and in the media are actually manufactured by the vendor. This is part of the nightmare. Flash cards. Plus the simple fact that there are a lot of people who pirate or fake flash cards you mentioned having a generic flash card that generally means you're probably not gonna get these super cool guy high performance. Security department that yes okay secure digital it's basically it's a substantive EST standard support storage sizes greater than the two gigabyte limit of the original ST. And it's faster to the memory controller for SBC. Is newer than one for ASCII it's easy to point device in the case of the card. Do you not buying SPC card for your older and it's the only device."

" Right speed is important for digital still cameras -- switch to shoot continuous night. -- camera can't write -- data it from the previous data hasn't finished its new digital video cameras that I use ST -- speed is also an important factor with many requiring specific level of speed. Yeah that's what class reading come here. They're designed to guaranteeing. Minimum write performance."

" This is what of those things is the math and look you know I'm not bad it's like smashing if not it's like it's late it's late HD it's like they could pick one great spec but instead -- At seventy. Keep things interesting can't he -- up for -- anyway I'll like in this according to Wikipedia. Specified island minimum rate speeds based on the best fragmented state -- memory unit is occupied. Here began last 22 megabytes per second. Class four megabytes per second class six megabytes per second thought kind of makes sense you know -- two ports -- out. That what this means that there's nothing preventing a class two entity to card from one vendor -- faster and class four card from another. The class rating only guarantees a minimum speed McCartney written to -- Not that fast because."

" And when you're it's 4 o'clock and Sundays here it is the kid's soccer game need extra memory card the best thing you want to do is be able as stupid does expect the ports are -- that's really important your life. Now in terms of which vendors produce faster as PC cards well you don't want there aren't a lot of flash memory roundups we did find it pretty good SEC roundup by asking textbook case -- with the gates the gates he cards first -- and can't do. I if they're not not do an excellent ground on it is it blows my mind possibly -- hands. He'd be building with a single company could build something that would pound the device with a single leap in any case will get a roundup of the US TC cards. And the results we're kind of frustrating very interesting Italy's. For example SanDisk SDC class six card was outperformed by -- pro -- classic car that costs considerably less than this and this part so. That's interesting. Because you would think I mean it's and did. It's cheaper got it got certain name to that you would expect it to perform in a certain way you've -- UK for the big brain right what the big brand name performance to be better well guess again and a conference of -- part roundups are pretty much impossible -- so lets you want to bind blind. Your best bet is to check out the digital photography forums. And shopping sites like Newegg or Amazon post user reviews to see how bad that is the easy part. You're looking at Mike -- are really it's basically pissed off photographers. Post a lot of responses on -- talking about how bad particular brand of particular sampling of particular brand has over time sometimes for. Performance changes."

" Absolutely and it thank you guys have ideas of where to find a breakdown of ST HD cards and reviews in excellent revision3.com. The web our inbox -- Tekzilla have been abuzz for quite some time about Google's android mobile device platform -- and and the pre sales on T-Mobile G one formerly -- DC dream which runs android are in the millions going through the roof. Now we've received a working model hey dozens of October 22 but are inside connections scored just Ryan block editor at large for gadget and co founder of GB GT. And rumor has it he's fallen in love or out of love we're gonna find out with the first android phone. Operating system hardware or both for the inseparable inseparable so android describes Google's mobile operating system the same way that iPhone has they're kind of mobile -- saturn's -- which it which actually runs not only on the iPhone. I have an -- iPod touch you know Microsoft has Windows Mobile. Not yet has Symbian. So they're number of mobile operating systems this is this is that the latest Smartphone elastic. And -- Hearkens back to preaching the greatness of -- and prohibit exactly -- the it would be key features that it makes android different from the others are smart form or to signal the bicycling so. The thing that people are most excited about is the fact that Google Google basically completely open source via. So when this device launches on October 22 -- is it on the day or thereabouts going to basically release of the source code. For the device or for the operating system running. And now with that muses that. You can hack this thing pieces and you can get is deepened and then as -- as you need to with adding you know your own apps res gaming. Tether you to your laptop."

" Hey I do understand believe it is is this the instant tech support nightmare for T-Mobile or because I just I think of I think you've. You know open source I love it and happy it's cool the idea that millions of developers released thousands of developers -- on -- to make it better I think it's even more awesome I'm not gonna be restricted to a stupid or am I heard. If you're gonna be sort of a single channel to get the stuff on your phone or can I really through any patch onto a more."

" So becomes out of box wit. Unauthorized apps. And disabled and what that means is -- you're supposed to get the apps through the store like a marketplace kind of some web apps are. You don't have to you can you can run apps that have not been quoted court authorizes an all that means is that Google. Basically just checked on the developer to make sure that they are who they say there right right it's like Apple where Apple looks at every single app that comes through and says yes we want this that we now they're not checking for quality or content they're distracting nature are you -- or in case if something goes horribly wrong we want to be able to get hundreds and -- small Third World country could be doing something affairs for this application. It's she's basically unless you go to the special story it's up to use to vent your hunt more -- so when you get the device if you want to go outside the store and install your own apps that are not you know Google. That it. -- developers first. You -- that there's an option deep -- if you're gonna get that far -- you're gonna be hacking I think I mean. I doubt that's the kind of person who really because it protects anyway. How is it as a phone as texting device is is it even -- or somebody Smartphone yes -- as phones it's not bad is very raw RAI mean. I don't know part is that Google -- I'm never -- huge fan. I'm they've got great functionality and they do a lot of things right but. Do you lie is kind of an after it he just feels very very -- form follows function it's just form follows. It's I don't know how many people are gonna switch to this thing from the I mean if you really like the iPhone experience is not really substitute it isn't it is the anti. In that regard. Because it's run its versus the iphone's you know -- finished Hoover -- refine everything's like Google maps is it reviewed so well yeah I think he's done so beautifully it this is well integrated and it's nice and and it feels like -- 2008 device but it's still does -- I'm I'm really excited. For the potential it has as an open system and not so much what has box out of box experience that interest. Where we are in six months when it's been hacked to pieces right and I can do anything could ever possibly imagine that because you can go as deep into the OS and you can possibly think. That's neat that's unusual that's that's not we have."

" HT sees -- hardware makers that make pretty hard permanently species Jones. How about -- you -- based apps Google docs Gmail I mean I was actually shocked at how fast and happiness was working yet ME all the Google apps work well as expected. You've got out of box UTU. She now maps. Calendar contacts not that anyone really use contacts affect the and it contacts thing is is my biggest -- get that later -- you've got a version of Chrome it's not called -- it's called browser. Which is very generic. -- and partly -- from code base in the probably brand -- later. -- announced browser. I am so there's a lot of Google code that comes with it out of box and then of course the marketplace starts -- it all works pretty well if you're happy your iPhone if you're happy -- Blackberry yours if you're in love with Windows Mobile you're probably gonna switch this unless you're Kennedy. I don't know about that I think it could be an alternative to has some casual Blackberry users not a corporate device yet there's no corporate you know enterprising support it's all very Google too right. So if you want to use exchange if you want to use Blackberry Enterprise Server. You can use this device is just not possible I mean it's really Gmail only. So for iPhone users might be good alternative if you really want to geek out. Witnessed mobile users and and in palm users this is the device because when his mobile Alderman Davis back over the last couple of years that's it as as you know as most people now -- I'm I'm trying to be. Nice -- you're being very good yeah I know I I am. Nobody is there level operating systems that bad -- they haven't had a lot of forward motion and they actually I think that Microsoft really -- it -- will be able to come to market. With something like -- Steve Ballmer one point said you know how many mobile Linux groups are have there been out there you know how many devices that produced. Almost I mean they're a lot there's you know there's -- in line though and there's always mobile Linux groups but haven't gone anywhere. Open handset alliance which Google pioneered with the with with the release an android injury itself. This devices the first actual time pad a good working open mobile WiMax. Smartphone or so there's no headphone Jack large headphones -- are each species proprietary dongle. The other major complaints on the phone. Well. Part of the user paradigm that they're going after here is that this -- can run on. Touch screen and a touch screen keyboard and a keyboard you know. Sometimes with a -- you know like twelve -- sometimes about. So there are some concessions that get made for example in the browser there's -- stop but because they don't assume that -- touch screen -- So you have to the menu button and it -- little things like that where they're not really considering what what what kind of enhancements can be -- To the user experience this thing that they have really heart where. This is not really entirely optimize for that's in and on the other side. They expect you to use the keyboard. Constantly instead of having anything on screen. So yeah I mean if you're on the train and you need to one hand -- found break and and he got you can -- you -- sideways and then. -- so it'd -- it doesn't have the same kind of you know one hand ability as. Finally by someone could. Develop a patch for the operating system only enter it should have done that's that the android I if I'm not mistaken does have. One hand to touch screen keyboard built in I think that the disabled it. On this device to kind of push that -- as a keyboard and not be confusing. Because given to me keyboards and its messy. But yeah I mean there are few things in here and some of it might get fixed some of my hacked around some of it might it be that way proper. So are there any other android devices coming in the near future yes there -- lot of companies who joined the open handset alliance Motorola. Spring and dared devices coming. I don't know when they're going to be year probably next year and I mean I think it's it's foolishness in that they wouldn't be at least more than one device out market in 2009. But you know that the GTU. -- think people -- GT which I'm sure of the father or what had you know the following this device when spring's gonna have there's nothing has been announced yet. And so unfortunately. I did it to be too long but. You know the interesting thing we didn't really talk too much about this is actually the possibilities of -- outside the Smartphone market because -- it opens. Embedded operating system this doesn't just have -- on yeah this can leaving your DDR this -- in you know your -- its ties to crack in a lot of different is that something other than you know rock box to run and you see your rocks and other rock box from your iPod break your. Yeah yeah this this is this -- system that has a lot of potential outside -- mobile space. So I mean it's not unfair to assume you know they're there might be. An iPod touch it you know kind of equivalent of this mobile operating system or they can search and placement on an ever expected. -- PC makers everywhere when it's awfully. They've been waiting for something like this until now it's all just been witness he went as about it."

" Don't forget street that is so partnerships eventually happen Brian thank you so much thanks to an agreement. We come back -- more back as it did or GD GT when it's ready I will indeed thanks so much. -- find out what's -- Ryan do yourself a favor keep engadget is -- right -- and of course keep an -- and GD GT dot com which will be launching very soon -- how."

" At a talk show imagine that Apple has released revamped versions of their popular MacBook and fifteen inch MacBook pro lines. It tells what to expect from the shiny new machines is just what the policy editor in chief for engadget. Welcome to us thanks for having had a fun time that given this morning yesterday shockingly on time it's on Tuesday today you'll be seen this on Saturdays at this morning. In the future yes this is true."

" Well flying cars. One well -- so there's two. Completely revamped. Mac books I've MacBook MacBook pro. In the laptop line for Apple so there's a fifteen inch MacBook pro and -- twelve inch MacBook. And they are totally redesigned new manufacturing process. Speed bumps. News. Graphics chips. Budgeted to optical glossy screens new track -- design so some big changes they're very familiar in terms of design but there you know evolutionary not revolutionary dozens and those changes so the processes -- that SP and yet they -- speed -- you can conferencing can out there the pro up to two point eight gigahertz to court to do so but you can get. Pretty fast on them so get they've gotten small bombs. And so how much is going to change that have been Nvidia cards well. They get. Obviously a lot better graphics performance that Steve was saying five times. But the current ones do but -- it just -- MacBook pro they have two chips they've got this. Geforce 9400 and and and -- 9600 and GT both Nvidia chips. And you can actually switch between the two so if you want to get better battery life you can use the 9400. If you ago for gaming or whatever your plugged in you can switch -- 600. And is actually kind of rumor going around her speculation that when snow leopard the next said. Version of -- comes out. It's going to take advantage of that take the load off the -- you put it onto one of the of the chips and things. The snow leopard. The stupidest name well leopard to snow leopard the leopard is you know it wants to chill a little person. That is -- I had no idea what we have for her address space -- know -- space and I'm proud personally and yet they're not going to get anymore I think MacBook pro starts at 252. 320 -- And they also offer a 128 -- Which would probably cost 600000. Dollars. Not to the president but yet these -- the drives are bigger. Hand ram has about the same as the -- free program that you can get I think up to four. It's -- Spore could do up to eight don't quote an ideologue. That's your job I think -- is I think it's apparently. And why don't you be -- that he's not saying that they were looking for big extra are hoping for at least two to get it and these models not really be that MacBook pro starts at 99. Hand and 24 model up to your configurations. And the MacBook start at 1299. An -- they are keeping actually just the keeping the white plastic MacBook around as there. Dirt cheap. Their entry level aimed at them yes its -- entry level objectivity 99. I don't know I don't know if that's. Back on this thing. And now why do you think they are not. Doing this with a seventeen inch MacBook pro life it just that fifteen how does the kid doesn't get the kind of love and attention they have the bumped up a little that there're couple things but. No any design. Track we asked me well I mean marketers and changes that huge and how -- you know. Oh man but -- and that the only two people it's a 100% of your friends friends might have this attitude that. I don't -- the case and what do you think via the glass and screen well you know models crack open here. I mean you can see it's. Incredibly reflective it's here it's really handsome looking right in this what they say it's it can to consumers love the glossy screen. The probably gloss screen is that every angle that your. It is. Treatments interpret it and see if it isn't reflective in anything I can hear what you're looking at it does look really beautiful it's very handsome display. They're not giving people options so."

" Use -- popular with other people commenting on twitter actually house where they were offering -- screen thing works and if you're outside and you sinister cast and it's going to be almost unusable yeah."

" I think it'll be. It's going to be a little. Difficulties outdoor and they track pad is really cool that's one part accurately and this is thing this is that this is a glass track battle it feels a lot like -- track -- it's just one big button. Sort of like. Rim is doing isn't new storm touch touch screen. Single button and -- just like if you as a regular cap track I -- I thought it would be very comfortable with actually. About the sand and and it's region it -- you right click you can there he can turn this this the right corner into right click or you can right click by hitting. Both singers on it and it's still well it's not destiny is having a second button to be honest I eight I kind of wish that. They just added another but I think this is the wrong direction but when I'm on last button does -- I'm not gonna -- Steve Jobs is that just an."

" I think it adds it to the machines that the pattern is gone only an hour can barely finished my coffee decaffeinated reports on."

" Are we gonna see some improvement here well I mean they say. Bid both of these get up to five hours battery lives I mean. That a lot of stuff I'm not -- in the real world that's going to apply that you know. Sure it's possible on some scenario it's possible depending on usage maybe -- the screen is off. Yeah -- without real and it didn't in the Arab anyhow that's certainly possible."

" I'm gonna talk so much thanks for -- computers. And up front latest gadget news you can check out engadget dot com for more and I think it's time we hit one more viewer question and that's county. He says I had a question regarding MP3 players and very active networking want to listen to music I was -- he could recommend good MP3 I haven't pulled up to the women's hair running around and working in hot conditions.

Breaking down due to heat Turkey and dropped to come around too much I have heard a few things about scratches in previous versions are not too much in this newest model now."

" There that I mean basically flash based MP3 players doesn't really matter what the brand are incredibly difficult to -- the net and flash memory of note has no moving parts inside of -- yeah. It is still hate it when you do app developers are not Catholic I. -- more than willing to spend are definitely other options that are worth a look. Samsung S three -- hundred dollars and under depending where your shopping. It's got good sound quality and the price is certainly right. I different created are also solid brands that the devices under 100 dollars usually two gigabytes and working. On since they're cheaper here also not worry so much about. Kinda messed them up a little bit when you're at the workplace."

" Yeah and while that's also one of the advantages of because there's so many iPod devices hello there there is also 42 million types of cases whether there rubber yeah milled aluminum or some plastic thing that sits in between so if you really worried about killing its rapid that you -- around."
