    I got my dad the WD HD TV last Christmas, and he loves it. I love it because it just works right out of the box and plays every format I throw at it, yet it's simple enough for a 65 year old man who's afraid of the iPhone to use. I bought a 2 pack of seagate 2.5" external drives from Sams Club for 130 bucks back in January, and once a month I'll pop over to my folks house and swap out the drives, leaving him with fresh movies and tv episodes to watch. He loves to brag to his friends about how his kid is so sneaky, and gets him "Hollywood movies that are still in theaters."
    He's happy, I'm happy, WD TV gets two thumbs up. #hdmediaplayers

    @bigdave914:
    Yeah, I'm aware of that thanks. Thanks to a recent firmware update, the only difference between the WD HD TV and the WD TV Live (version reviewed above) is the newer model has an ethernet port. #hdmediaplayers

    Good article. I have been looking over this info for a while now and glad to see it collected.

    i like the idea of the Patriot, BUT I just don't see them following up with sequential firmware updates like WD will do (and has done with the previous WD TV).

    I LOVE the specs of the Popcorn Hour box, but at that price and size, I would go for a PS3.

    For features, support, and price, I think I am going with the WD TV Live (as soon as it actually freaking shows back up in stock somewhere). #hdmediaplayers

    I am waiting for the ASUS UL30vt, which is exactly the same as the UL30A but has switchable discrete graphics. It was rumored for Windows 7 release, but then I found out it wasn't being released in North America this year. However, after several people pleaded to the ASUS rep on Amazon, they are looking into the prospect of releasing it sooner. I love the UL30 series, and the UL30A is close. But discrete graphics will make this product just awesome.

    I understand how Asus won, but in practical, everyday use, I think I would be disappointed in the keyboard. I'm not a fan of the Chiclet style keyboards in general, and keyboard flex drives me nuts. I don't think that any of the other computers would necessarily win me over, but when the component that you interact with more than 90% of the time is on the crappy end of the test, I would not call the product a clear-cut winner. #thinandlightlaptops

    Why do they have to get all fancy and use "2" in A2DP instead of just spelling it out to AADP...

    ... Ooh. I get it. Nevermind.

    @Nick: They're Plantronics, and they're out of production--which is a shame, because they're pretty good. We narrowed our tests quite a bit to keep things light.

    Because having to charge up a set of headphones for use is not all the convenient.

    Is the benefit of losing a wire worth looking like an idiot while wearing these headphones?

    A big deal breaker for bluetooth headphones (for me) is that you can't use them on airplanes.

    Copilot on Android also lacks qwerty... =[ It slows me down when looking for destinations until I readjust. Why couldn't it just use the one built-in with the Operating system? Like the iPhone OSK or the Android OSK. Makes people regret purchases.
