This flashbased player is slightly smaller than the mini-iPod and is recently availible with 512 MB of storage for rougly $280 (in Sweden anyway) and it has 12 hours of batterylife. The mini-ipod is really quite sweet when I think about it =))

hmm, another thing, the Apple. com G5 Xserve page shows a graph where a 2 Ghz Opteron gets 5.91 Gflops on Linpack and gets completely spanked by the P4:s and the G5. I couldn't find any good info on Opteron Linpack-performance but to begin with there's a 2.2 Ghz Opteron availible and I don't...

well, I was referring to the larger iPod. Guess I was a bit confusing.... However, I suppors 8 hours is reasonable. I don't really know the typical power consumption for Flash-media but the iRiver IFP380T has a stated battery life of 24 hours. Batterylife is obviously the trade-off you have to...

that's really crappy compared to the competition. I don't really know any figures for flash-based players but there are several hard-diskbased players that do at least twice that.

well, i did expect them to announce fast PowerMacs so a bit disappointed. However, the imac was updated quite recent (20") so i don't think there'll be an imac-update until late february/early march. PowerMacs probably before that. G5 PowerBooks this summer. I for one find the mini-iPods...

I thought the same thing when I saw that pic of the remote. But as you say, it's just an artist's impression. Regarding cost, such would never sell for less than $350 and considering that an iPod that only plays mp3s goes for as much as $500, i wouldn't be surprised if an iBox (if these...

As for heatissues with a 7200rpm drive, that´s not necessarily a problem. If you look around at different 2,5" drive manufacturers websites, you´ll see that difference in heat output in watts is very small between current 4200, 5400 and 7200 drives, in ther order of 0.3W-0.4W. It also seems...

AFAIK there are plenty of Serial ATA -> ATA converters around, it´s just a kind of connector you put between the ATA-disk and the SATA-connector. Not too expensive i think but I haven´t really checked. I think ABIT shipped such converters with their first SATA-equipped motherboards and I´m sure...

Yeah, A damp cloth or something like that works great, just don´t push very hard on the screen. That´s what I´ve been using om my TFT:s anyway and no problem whatsoever (and why should ther be? =)

Seeing that you live in gothenburg (as do I), do your computer have a dedicated S-Videoport or did you use a S-Video -> SCART-adaptor? Some (older, normally) TVs don´t handle S-Video over SCART very well and only display grayscale. Your VCR might handle this better than the TV but degrades the...

Hehe, all my first three posts on this forum is related to pimping the 12" PB and I must say it rocks! I do have the Rev A one so the Rev B can only be better. They fixed the heatproblem (which I don´t really see as problem) and the Rev B also has DVI and a better graphics chipset. As for...

As for the resolution of the 12" PB, having the Rev A one, i must say that yse, sometimes it would be nice to have a higher resolution but it´s not as bad as you might think. It works pretty well for Photoshop (can´t say anything about editing movies thoug) but then again everything is relative...

Well, I don´t have the 17" but the Rev A 12". AFAIK, the casefinish is the same though so it should apply to your PB as well. That said, my PB has been fairly sturdy, I´ve carried it around from time unprotected in a shoulderbag or backpack (not that much though) and it hasn´t gotten any dents...
