    If you like the addition to Bing check out Clicker (was part of the TC50). It's a pretty bad ass service to find what you're looking for when it comes to tv shows and what not. I think it's still closed beta, but they kick out the invites pretty quick when you sign up. #gizmodoremainders

    @UnderLoK: And if you're a firefox user, the popular GooglePreview app (adds a thumbnail next to every google result) has changed it's name to SearchPreview because it now supports Bing. #gizmodoremainders

    mDP is still pretty pointless. HDMI is rapidly moving to replace DVI and has a similar footprint to mDP. The way I see it is soon enough HDMI will be the USB of the visual in/out world. #gizmodoremainders

    @Odin: Have you seen a Mini DisplayPort? it is way smaller than HDMI, but i will give you that HDMI in the long run will beat mDP.

    I also think HDMI would have been a sweet addition to the MacBook Pro, too bad i have to buy an adapter to go to HDMI... )-:

    I'm not saying your wrong on HDMI being better, just the foot prints are way different. #gizmodoremainders

    Well vertically there's not a huge amount of difference, it just takes up a little more horizontal real estate. Not that much more than a standard USB though. #gizmodoremainders

    Biggest news to me here: the iPhone only has a 2.5% national marketshare? Which nation is that? By my incredibly rough calculations, 2.5% of the U.S. population would be about 7.5 million people. I was almost certain there were more iPhone users than that.

    Then again, I live in geek land, where dumbphones don't exist, if you're running anything less than Win7/Snow Leopard, you're behind the times, and location-aware services are the norm. Also, apparently CDs are dead? #gizmodoremainders

    Even though they are the same company, BestBuy.com and the individual BestBuy stores feel like separate entities. But they will have no problem pricematching the BestBuy online price, so I don't think its a big deal.

    Why should this be unusual? Less overhead with their web store means lower cost which they can then pass on to the consumer.

    If you just mention that you saw the price on the Best Buy website, just mention it to the salesmen and they'll match it in the store.

    In reply to Zune HD Quickly Selling Out at Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy and More
    I popped into Best Buy to buy some Beatles CDs this evening, and they still had the Zune HD 16GB model.

    Had a play with the display model - felt cheap, very small, plasticy, and certainly not the quality feel of a Touch or iPhone.

    Menu text was almost fuzzy - the UI get's old after about 2 minutes of use.

    When people actually get their hands on a unit, rather than just drooling over the rendered publicity images, they'll have a serious reality check.

    Hey - at least I tried one - it still sucked IMHO, and clearly hadn't sold out.

    I am seriously laughing watching many of you shoot your load in your pants with excitement because you think Microsoft just unseated Apple from the lead market position. LOL - I mean... really? Can't we just settle down and watch the Zune grow in popularity, add some apps, and see where it goes?

    It's NOT better than a Touch. Period. It's just different -it's very good, IMO. I have too many good apps to consider switching, and the one at my local BestBuy was having issues. I also don't think the hardware feels as sexy but the screen is fantastic.

    The only think you can say for ZuneHD right now is that it's the 1st PMP to arrive that isn't DOA. It's got a fighting chance, let's watch it play out.

    It's not that, as you put it, we are shooting our load because we think MS has unseated Apple, but it is because there is finally what appears to be a good competitor to the iPod. Apple has sat comfortably in its position at the top of the market for so long that it has started to stop seeing what made its products so desirable, that being the innovations you saw with each successive generation. The innovations you see now are laughable with Apple making small changes, hyping the changes like they're amazing huge changes, and charging a premium for it. Some of us just like to see a good competitor arise because it will cause competition in the marketplace, something that is good for consumers. Consumers are offered a choice of what best suits their needs and desires and can choose. In order to keep their customer base, both will have to fight for it, innovating and lowering prices along the way. That's why a successful Zune is a big deal.

    @MonkeyBiz: Exactly. Everyone needs a fire stoked under their ass from time to time, otherwise they create an ecosystem in which they constantly screw over the consumers and do what's best for the corporation instead of competing for the consumer.

    I'm glad to see it doing well, Apple needs the competition and I'd love to see these things released in Europe.

    There's mounting evidence that they're going to be launched in Canada soon, so here's hoping they at least do the UK shortly..

    @olternaut: It only has ads for the free to play games, the iPhone does exactly the same thing and is soon to be implementing even more.

    The apps so far are only being designed by very small groups of people in XNA, but there's no way to distrubute them at the moment, so if you want an app, you just have to download it from a website and upload it to your Zune manually. I'm sure there will be a system like XBL's Indie Games channel soon, but at the moment there isn't, so there's obviously no ads.

    @UnderLoK: if you had the option to pay a fee to strip away the adds, let's say, pay $4 per game that you want add free, would you? Personally, 10 seconds to me is something I don't mind waiting for a game I'd likely only play once every couple of weeks. And int he scenario a really good game comes out, I would pay the fee to strip the adds if that option was available. but truth be told, I own a DS, ipod touch, and htc pro, and I play games on them very rarely, I mostly play full blown consoles, as the games are vastly superior.

    At launch you have people that just dropped over $200 on a device, the least they could do is toss in a couple free crap games. It's just bad press and one more thing for people to bitch about.
