@cinnamonster: Looks like it's hovering over the Facebook icon. You ever seen one of those in a taskbar before?

@Ian Logsdon: Yeah the Archos 101 looks extremely promising indeed, and it would be my obvious choice except for ONE caveat. It only comes with flash storage, no HDD. And my primary desire from my Archos's (Archi?) is for it to be a media player first and foremost, because that's what they really rock at, and the…

@MacAttack: From what I see on Apple's site, that resolution is only available on the 17' model. I was comparing the equivalent 15' model. But I will admit that the simple fact that Apple even offers a 17' Macbook with that resolution gives it an advantage.

@ps61318: Thank you! Couldn't have said it better myself.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: Now that gives me a good chuckle.

@Xagest: I would think that only issue number 1 has really been addressed. Perhaps they have slightly better batteries, but they most definitely won't be able to do stairs. And I think the bin size and battery life are probably somewhat correlated. However, if they can handle hair well I would consider that a…

@MacAttack: *cough* Ok So I looked it up and the newer MacBooks also have optional i7s (albeit with slightly lower clock-speeds.) And they support *slightly* higher resolutions (albeit not even another real step higher, just a slight truncation on the Samsungs.) So I retract my statement. And while the MacBooks also…

@MacAttack: Yeah, ok... But it's got an optional i7 that could run circles around an MacBook and a pretty 'innovative' graphics solution. Just because it has a similar chassis color scheme does not make it a 'cheap knock off.' Like someone above said, most laptops DO look alike, and there's only so many colors/styles…

Now as impressive as Voice Actions are, it's not really accurate to say that you can do it after just touching the phone once. On my Evo, I can't even pull it up without touching at least two things (search button, them mic icon.) And then after recording, say an email or text, you have to hit send. Granted, some…

@talkingstove: One would hope, since it's capable of FaceTime and video recording. Hopefully the 'audio' component of those two 'video' features is just sort of implied.

It does very much look like the Batcave circa Batman Forever. And I dare you to tell me that pics 10 & 11 don't look straight out of Batman Returns (for those of you who actually remember that movie and its set pieces.)

@robot-shmobot: Excellent point!
