Wave. Got one and it's on the way from hp.com

6. Also as of now, Hulu works on these since it's fully developed Flash that's loaded on there and isn't on their banned device list.

7. Dedicated Facebook app. Wha, wha, what? Can't get that on an iPad. Looks very well done fully using the tablet's real estate.

8. Capable of running other OSes. There has been a sucessful Ubuntu port and a number of sites are running contests to see who can get a running version of Android on there.

5 Reasons You Should Get The $99 Touchpad
8/23/11 7:59 PM

Found out about this on Friday evening thanks to Slickdeals.net and was able to purchase one through HP's Academy website with a coupon code bringing the price down to $92 shipped.

No tracking # yet but my card was charged and I received an email confirming my order.

XMBC and Plex are both easily installable on Apple TV Gen 2. Love mine, had XMBC installed for awhile but converted my library over to .m4v format for my iTunes library.

That's awesome the Google TV guys are watching Mishka the Talking Husky.


Are You Happy With Your Wireless TV Service?

I'm rockin' an Apple TV Gen 2 here and I couldn't live without it. I have a large collection of shows and movies in my iTunes library on my iMac that I can stream to my aTV quickly/easily.

If I don't finish it there I can resume it off of the computer where I left off or off of the iPad as well.

On the OSX side I've been using iVI from the Mac App Store to convert TV Shows and movies. Organizes, names, adds all the metadata I could ever dream for and places them correctly in my iTunes folder for use on the iPad or aTVs. Supports large batches instead of one at a time like Handbrake. (Unless you want to get technical with cmd line prompts)

Anyone know where I can find a "Ghost Chair" for < $200?

The less expensive versions I've found so far seem to be almost miniture in dimensions?

M-Audio AV40s are the best I've ever had, they're just too big for small desk areas.
