Elessar78 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm sure my wife would love it, but if I'm going to lay out this much cash, I want some benefit as well. Like you want some "service" from her, if you buy the TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I really really reaaallly want a Kindle. So badly. I really like my Sony Reader. I take it everywhere with me. Sony just released a couple of new readers, one pretty stripped down and the other with a touchscreen and dictionary lookup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I want a "Kindle" type device. Maybe a Kindle, maybe the Sony version. I hear Mac is coming out with one too. Not a device that makes me want to rush out and get it, but I do think I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SauzzBozz Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Its good but has a weak battery. My little brother actually switched from ATT (iPhone) to Spring (Palm Pre) and even though at first he hated it, he has grown to love it and wouldnt switch back...he also says that the $30 less a month he has to pay since he is a college student is a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Those of you talking about the Kindle might want to wait for the second generation. Lots of problems were reported with the initial release in amazon.com and other review areas...whether it was the brightness (or lack of it) on the screen, the small library to choose from, or the fact that making the pages turn is a total pain in the ass. I don't know when the second one is due for release, but I may look into it once it hits the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I don't know when the second one is due for release, but I may look into it once it hits the shelves. There is already a Kindle 2 out. Been out a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 ZuneHD. Its going to be awesome. Has an HD screen that can play 720p clips. Possibly can download stuff from Xbox360 to the ZuneHD. This thing has alot of potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 There is already a Kindle 2 out. Been out a while. Obviously, I'm behind the times. I'll have to go read the reviews on it. I think it speaks to the weakness of the original if they came out with an upgraded version so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejaydana Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 This isn't out yet (Sony 3D TVs) but it looks like it might have some excellent (gaming) potential: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10335331-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkHog Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 ZuneHD. Its going to be awesome. Has an HD screen that can play 720p clips. Possibly can download stuff from Xbox360 to the ZuneHD. This thing has alot of potential! It has an OLED screen which just looks amazing.

TheLongshot Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I guess I should post more about the Nokia N900. It looks pretty nice. It is pretty much their internet tablet turned into a phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP5R-5NX1BE&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNumberOne Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Ebook readers are going to be one of the bigger things to get innovated going forward. Most of them share their e-ink technology from a third-party, but right now content (leader is Amazon currently) and interface (I think other manufacturers like Sony have done better personally but this is just preference) are still works in progress. The other big thing that I am enjoying right now is my Western Digital Media Player. I think one of the things that is going to enter the consumer mindset - maybe within the next year, at most two - is the idea that BluRay discs could be skipped almost completely. Right now I think there are a lot of emerging and exciting technologies, but the killer implementation is still tantalizingly close but not quite there yet.

rebornempowered Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Zune HD Great screen and the Zune UI has always been excellent. Now it has a touch interface. The iRiver ebook reader looks absolutely amazing. I probably won't end up with either of those devices for a while but I am going to be putting ATSC/Clear Qam tuners in my HTPC. Then I am going to be ditching TiVo. No more monthly fees and Windows Media Center is just as good anyway without ads. Plus I can use it as a HD Tuner for my HDTV that was purchased before they came with HD Tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
