Much to the <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/03/31/internet-tycoon-mark-cuban-has-little-faith-in-internet-video/">chagrin of Mark Cuban</a>, these two actually believe that there's a future in <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/internetvideo">internet TV</a>, particularly if you force it down people's throats. Intel spent the bulk of its time talking up the Media Processor CE 3100 (formerly known as <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/intel-unveils-canmore-1080p-chip-for-ce-devices/">Canmore</a>), which would theoretically be installed within HDTVs and enable users to access internet-based content without the need for an additional set-top-box ('course, the STB is still optional). That's where Yahoo! comes in -- it's hoping that its Widget Channel will encourage users to utilize its services when watching re-runs or other lackluster material in order to get news, weather and other related information right on the living room set. Not that this is a <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/23/hands-on-with-samsungs-new-lcd-plasma-displays/">totally new concept</a>, but these two surely have the power to push it one step further.

And he asked for fixes to the software so it would lock up less frequently." -- solid work, homey) there's an little tidbit about how Palm OS II and a single new device to run the new software will arrive in the "first half of next year." Two things interesting about that: first, that's a much wider timeframe than the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/first-palm-os-ii-devices-to-hit-early-2009-is-it-already-too-la/">"early 2009"</a> window we've been hearing for a while and could signal even <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/palms-new-os-getting-more-delays/">more delays</a>, and second, it's a little odd that Palm is going to debut the new OS on just one device. Launching on a single device is pretty Apple-esque, so we'll cut Rubes some slack on that, even if we don't think it's the best idea -- but at this point the only real info we're hearing about about Palm OS II is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/palms-ed-colligan-confirms-no-new-palm-os-till-end-of-2008/">news of delays</a>, and that's not exactly out of the Jobs playbook -- remember, real artists ship.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/technology/20palm.html?_r=1&amp;th=&amp;adxnnl=1&amp;oref=slogin&amp;emc=th&amp;adxnnlx=1219255269-M11+nNlX2mcEr2BAHtO7Qw>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1290290/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=gQjkFs"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=gQjkFs" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=nyTImk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=nyTImk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=UB44ok"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=UB44ok" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/370224311" height="1" width="1"/>ed colliganEdColliganjon rubensteinJonRubensteinpalmpalm ospalm os 2palm os IIPalmOsPalmOs2PalmOsIiWed, 20 Aug 2008 14:58:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea/<![CDATA[Tweaked Xbox 360 controller inexplicably deemed an overseas "promotional item"]]>http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/370214048/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/tweaked-xbox-360-controller-inexplicably-deemed-an-overseas-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/tweaked-xbox-360-controller-inexplicably-deemed-an-overseas-pro/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/peripherals/" rel="tag">Peripherals</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=218894"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/8-20-08-new_xbox-360-pad.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div> Wait, let's get this straight.

And then we ran the numbers. We could hardly believe it.<br /><br />So far in 2008, the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod touch account for some <span style="font-weight: bold;">95.8%</span> of all mobile views on the site.

More specifically, the mode, or so-called "power gate," turns off cores that would otherwise be left idle when they're not in use, and reroutes the power budget that normally would be applied to those cores to the active cores, which promises to further boost their performance without wasting power. According to Intel, that'll be a standard feature across the entire Nehalem family, including the first mobile versions of the processor that'll be at the center of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/intels-nehalem-based-laptop-platform-to-be-called-calpella/">Calpella</a> platform, which is on track for a launch sometime next year.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2328430,00.asp">PC Magazine</a>]</div><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2328427,00.asp>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/intel-nehalem-processor-gets-turbo-mode-blinking-red-lights/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1290133/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/intel-nehalem-processor-gets-turbo-mode-blinking-red-lights/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=xUHfAu"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=xUHfAu" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=LjYR0k"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=LjYR0k" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=xi3Buk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=xi3Buk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/370159968" height="1" width="1"/>calpellacore i7CoreI7intelnehalemturbo modeTurboModeWed, 20 Aug 2008 13:24:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/intel-nehalem-processor-gets-turbo-mode-blinking-red-lights/<![CDATA[Antec offers components for the DIY laptop crowd]]>http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/370137043/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/antec-offers-components-for-the-diy-laptop-crowd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/antec-offers-components-for-the-diy-laptop-crowd/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><a href="http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/t/39796.aspx"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/8-20-08-antec-logo.jpg" alt="" /></a>Just because you haven't gotten up the nerve to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/how-to-blow-a-50-note-on-a-diy-functionality-free-laptop/">build your own laptop</a> doesn't mean that everyone's just running out and buying pre-fabricated lap warmers, now does it?

Somewhat surprisingly, J. Wong says that the device will only be available in white initially (which he apparently likes better anyway), and that it will officially be called simply the M8, and not the "M8 mini one" as it had been officially known before. He also reiterates that the company plans to finally release the phone in October, or November "at the latest."

The much drabber Fusion keeps things small and simple by offering up just 25-watts of power and DAB / FM tuners. Expect the couple to sashay into e-tailers next month for &pound;169.99 ($316) / &pound;99 ($184).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/17003/18027/intempo-internet-ipod-speaker-radio.phtml">Read</a> - RDi-W<br /><a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2008/08/15/intempo-fusion-blends-super-style-and-sound/">Read</a> - Fusion<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/intempo-unveils-ipod-lovin-rdi-w-fusion-speaker-systems/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1289062/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/intempo-unveils-ipod-lovin-rdi-w-fusion-speaker-systems/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=tInAiK"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=tInAiK" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=xwj8Hk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=xwj8Hk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=hPSEXk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=hPSEXk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/370027673" height="1" width="1"/>audiodockfusionIntempointernet radioInternetRadioipod accessoryipod boomboxipod dockipod sound systemipod speaker systemIpodAccessoryIpodBoomboxIpodDockIpodSoundSystemIpodSpeakerSystemmusicradioRDi-Wsoundsound systemSoundSystemspeakerspeaker systemSpeakerSystemukWed, 20 Aug 2008 10:39:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/intempo-unveils-ipod-lovin-rdi-w-fusion-speaker-systems/<![CDATA[Vivitek introduces its very first projectors, forgets to make 'em memorable]]>http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/370013453/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/vivitek-introduces-its-very-first-projectors-forgets-to-make-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/vivitek-introduces-its-very-first-projectors-forgets-to-make-e/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/8-20-08-vivitek-d326mx-d326.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div> Just what the world needs -- another pair of perfectly average <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/category/projector/">projectors</a> to choose from. Vivitek has boldly gone where so many others have gone before by introducing the D326MX (XGA) and D326WX (WXGA) projectors, both of which rely on Texas Instruments' DLP engine and boast rapid start-up / instant shutdown features, HDMI / component connectors, 2,600 ANSI lumens, a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, 5-segment color wheel and a 1-watt speaker for mind-blowing monaural sound. The units weigh in at just 3.2-pounds apiece, and both should be available now for $999 / $1,199 should you remember to look within the next 15 seconds.

"We are worried the FCC will buckle and allow white space to be used by personal portable devices seeking wireless services," says Letrasonic's Karl Winkler, as professional wireless audio systems like those used in theaters and rock venues exist in the same frequency spectrum and redesigning them to avoid interference could "cost big productions millions of dollars." That's of course the same concern groups like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/nab-takes-on-microsoft-google-with-anti-white-space-internet-ad/">NAB had about television broadcasts</a>, but where we can see consumers being willing to put up with some TV static to get cheaper net access, we don't think rock bands and stage performers will be as willing to compromise -- and although Motorola says its geolocation system will <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/motorola-declares-white-space-device-testing-successful/">prevent any interference</a>, it doesn't sound like the industry is ready to buy it. Of course, all these hysterics are based on nothing more than speculation and rumors, since basically no one's ever seen a whitespace device in use -- maybe if one of the giant companies backing the tech would actually demo some of this vapor, people wouldn't be so nervous about it. Just a suggestion -- albeit one we've been making for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/white-spaces-coalition-launches-another-offensive-still-no-tech/">months now</a>.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.wired.com/gadgets/wireless/news/2008/08/whitespaces>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/wireless-audio-manufacturers-unhappy-with-googles-whitespace-in/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1289433/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/wireless-audio-manufacturers-unhappy-with-googles-whitespace-in/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=C6Ik4X"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=C6Ik4X" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=WD4Kuk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=WD4Kuk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=vzuklk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=vzuklk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/369991898" height="1" width="1"/>googlewhite spacewhite space internetwhite spacesWhiteSpaceWhiteSpaceInternetWhiteSpaceswireless innovationwireless innovation allianceWirelessInnovationWirelessInnovationAllianceWed, 20 Aug 2008 09:40:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/wireless-audio-manufacturers-unhappy-with-googles-whitespace-in/<![CDATA[Palm's Treo Pro gets official]]>http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/369979485/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/palms-treo-pro-gets-official/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treopro/index.html"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/treo_pro_1_big.jpg" /></a><br /></div> <span style="float: right; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 4px;"><script> digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Palm_s_Treo_Pro_gets_official_Engadget'; </script><script src="http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script></span>Well you can't say you didn't see this one coming -- between the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/palms-treo-850-is-really-the-treo-pro/">leaked shots</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/palms-treo-pro-in-the-wild-probably-not-fake-2/">more leaked shots</a>, and those -- yes -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/the-treo-pro-makes-its-video-debut-inches-towards-launch/">leaked press materials</a>, this was only a matter of time.

Per usual, there's no indication of when Fuchitek plans on releasing it (let alone a price), so we suppose we'll spend yet another night holding the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/sanyo-shipping-plc-xl50-short-throw-projector/">PLC-XL50</a> up with our hands and pretending that everything's kosher.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/17036/18060/pico-projector-pepo1-fuchitek-corporation.phtml">Pocket-lint</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.fuchiview.com/products/pico_projector/pep01.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/fuchitek-reveals-pep01-pico-projector/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1289683/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/fuchitek-reveals-pep01-pico-projector/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=YOobL0"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=YOobL0" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=6t9mAk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=6t9mAk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=83OSUk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=83OSUk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/369979486" height="1" width="1"/>Fuchitek CorporationFuchitekCorporationFuchiviewmini projectorMiniProjectorPEP01Pico projectorPicoProjectorpocket projectorPocketProjectorprojectorWed, 20 Aug 2008 09:22:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/fuchitek-reveals-pep01-pico-projector/<![CDATA[Lenovo's IdeaPad S10 with X4500 graphics dubbed "Wind and Eee PC killer"]]>http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/369970358/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s10-with-x4500-graphics-dubbed-wind-and-eee-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s10-with-x4500-graphics-dubbed-wind-and-eee-pc/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://blog.laptopmag.com/up-close-with-lenovos-ideapad-s10-one-sweet-10-incher"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/lenovos-s10-handson.jpg" /></a><br /></div> Hey friend, ready for a full <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/lenovos-ideapad-s10-netbook-ready-to-order-maybe/">Lenovo IdeaPad S10</a> review? Sorry, this ain't it, but <em>Laptop's</em> initial hands-on with this "sweet 10-incher" might be enough to help with any imminent purchasing decisions requiring $429 in cash. What if we sweetened the deal and told you that Lenovo's netbook also features that very same un-netbooky X4500 integrated graphics found in Intel's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/centrino%202">Centrino 2</a> chipset -- no lame GMA950 here, pal. And as oddball as it sounds, one reader discovered that the red-colored S10 also features an external CD-RW/DVD-ROM for the same price as the white S10 (but $10 more than the black model). Check the full hands-on text (laced with adjectives like "spacious," "lovely," and "stylish") and video (where it's dubbed a Wind and Eee PC killer) just beyond the read link and just for you buddy.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: A number of would-be buyers are reporting another case of Lenovo's retail ineptitude. The X4500 graphics appears to be just another misprint -- like those <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/thinkpad-x200-70-cheaper-with-128gb-ssd-option-order-now/">free SSDs</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/lenovos-wtf-of-the-day-thinkpad-r400-for-200-marked-down-fro/">$200 14.1-inch laptops</a> seen before. Hell, even the optical drive appears to be the stuff of data entry error. At this point it looks like we've got another GMA950 netbook on our hands which certainly makes more sense. Our advice? If you're ready to purchase then at least get on the horn with sales and confirm that bill of materials.<br /><br />[Thanks, Peter and and Boning C.]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://blog.laptopmag.com/up-close-with-lenovos-ideapad-s10-one-sweet-10-incher>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s10-with-x4500-graphics-dubbed-wind-and-eee-pc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1289739/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s10-with-x4500-graphics-dubbed-wind-and-eee-pc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=mms41Y"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=mms41Y" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=J4PPjk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=J4PPjk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=Ohd6ek"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=Ohd6ek" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/369970358" height="1" width="1"/>hands-onideapadideapad s10IdeapadS10lenovonetbooks10x4500Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:10:00 ESThttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/lenovos-ideapad-s10-with-x4500-graphics-dubbed-wind-and-eee-pc/<![CDATA[Has your HP Mini-Note 2133 gone dark?]]>http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/369954813/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/has-your-hp-mini-note-2133-gone-dark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/has-your-hp-mini-note-2133-gone-dark/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><a href="http://www.hp2133guide.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=394"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/8-20-08-mini-note-2133.jpg" alt="" /></a>Generally speaking, HP's Mini-Note 2133 is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/hp-mini-note-2133-officially-official/">pretty well loved</a> the world over.

The all-important image quality ranked very highly, and the built-in live view was obviously a boon. Granted, the fixed screen and 7-point AF system (versus the 9-pointer on the XTi) were slight bummers, but it still managed to secure an 82% (Highly Recommended) rating. Care to see how it stacked up against Nikon's D60, Sony's A200 and a Polaroid 80B Highlander?
