    What about a Nokia N900 [en.wikipedia.org] for the Linux fanbois?
    Only $650, but with a real GPS and all the Linux apps you can compile.

    Best of all, you aren't stuck with hacking your device to load any software or gain root access.

    Hmmm I don't really hate Apple though... just their desktops, locking the iPod Dev kit to OSX, locking OSX to Macs... oh and of course their moronic fanboys.*

    * Disclaimer: Not all Apple fanboys are moronic. Just the ones that worship Apple and their products like they were Jesus Christ and view everyone else that doesn't use a Mac as heathen idiots. You know who you are.

    I've had the Sidewinder for about a month now and I couldn't recommend it more. Easily one of the best mice I've ever used and by far the best wireless one. The side buttons are what are really nice about it though, top and bottom are a much nicer arrangement than fore and aft.

    Also it doesn't suffer from the battery woes of other wireless mice as it has an easy to clip in/clip out play and charge cable wrapped round the receiver. Once it warns you it's low on power just unhook a few loops of cable, slot the plug in and keep using it as normal. No faffing changing batteries or waiting for it to charge in some dock.

    Hahahahaha. Great list, Dan. I know your secret, though: you use a mac!

    It's ok. I forgive you.

    Still, you should think about coming over to the dark side, away from those blinding white rounded edges.

    After looking at the HP Envy in person, I must say I'm both impressed and totally unimpressed with it. Impressed because it looks vastly better than the ill-born swill that is HP's general aesthetic, but unimpressed because it really does come off as a chintzy interpretation of the Macbook Pro. That said, it's also one of the better looking PC's around, though the trackpad is a terrible counterfeit of Apple's.

    Why on earth would anyone Hackintosh this thing? It costs significantly more than a Mac.

    Honorary Mention to the Dell Studio XPS 16. Because who would want a mobile Core i7, 6GB of RAM, and a Blu-Ray drive for less than $1800?

    I'm no angry, rant-prone Apple hater (my hackintoshed netbook is awesome), but I would love to have a Zune HD or Motorola Droid.

    Oh, and the MX line is good for all users. I love my MX 1100 and miss my MX 1000.

    @Dilpickle1: I have a product that combines the features of both, leaves out the useless bulk-adding crap features, and makes the whole thing smooth and seamless.

    I have the iphone.

    By the way, I am not a fanboy. As soon as a better phone comes out I will buy it, but it hasn't happened since I got my 1st gen 2 years ago...

    @cruzer555: ''By the way, I am not a fanboy''

    Your icon invalidates this statement. BTW, I have heard nothing bad about the Droid. Both it and the iPhone are great phones. I, unlike many people it seems, just prefer to keep my phone and PMP separate. I prefer the superior sound quality of the Zune to the iPod, but wouldn't say no to an iPod Touch or iPhone, especially now that I have OS X on my netbook. iTunes in Windows is easily the worst program I have ever used.
