@Kodros: Missed that one. Ha. Erm...

Blackberry is already dying. Should they have gone after a more relevant competitor, that is, Android?

@yanipheonu: I predict that DoA beach volleyball will singlehandedly make the 3DS a success.

@matt_mcmhn: VideoLAN, the people who write VLC, are also the the developers of the x264 codec, so MKV is basically a given.

@Matthew Poat: I would pay money for it, but per the VideoLAN team's tradition, it'll likely be free. They've never sold the VLC in the history of development.

If I'm reading Samsung's quote correctly, they've already decided not to upgrade the Tab software past Froyo. (so no 3.0+)

Woot! It's not airing on the Friday slot of death, even.

Wait, people took this tweet seriously? The childish, vaguely lolcats grammar didn't indicate sarcasm to anyone?

I really think Flash's power on mobile comes from the AIR platform, not a browser plugin. Write a game once, and with some minor tweaks shove it on every device you can think of (except iOS). J2ME (Java) tried to accomplish this but failed utterly due to a buggy and insecure environment.

@Euclidean: i-wireless is a T-Mobile subsidiary localized to Eastern Iowa. We use T-Mo owned towers, but we don't get the same plans, phones, or even a website to pay our bills at. It's single redeeming feature is the price: I pay $30 for 500 minutes (I use about 50) and $20 for unlimited 3G data (ok that's freaking…

@Almightywhacko: Considering the screen is 4", I think the fact that it looks tiny is just our brains playing tricks on us. There's probably as much keyboard surface area there as the G1 had, minus a 5th row.

To my fellow i-wireless patrons... we'll probably get this phone in 2012 and it'll be $299 on contract with no rebates.

@OMG! scarbrtj!: I understand that. But it's a pretty painless process with Handbrake - once you setup the preset it's literally two clicks per file and you can set it to batch encode them all overnight. I'm guessing your 1080p media files are huge (my movies are often 5gb+), for space limitations alone it could be…

@Joe Stoner: Best Buy's entire business model seems to be set up to take advantage of the technologically incompetent. I don't fault them for it, I just wish I was cashing in on that gravy train.

@OMG! scarbrtj!: I think what you'd most have to worry about is hardware capability - can the iPad even crunch numbers fast enough to decompress and produce a video at that resolution which isn't laggy? (and why should it? 1080p is well beyond the resolution of the iPad's screen - scale down your media with Handbrake)…

@Barry knows CPR and took that guy's wallet: That is a bummer. I'm guessing the Classic must be Apple's stupid name for the 6th Gen, which yeah, Rockbox only works on up to 5.5

@ashmula:

For non-touch iPods, the most useful thing you can possibly do is install Rockbox. Plays nearly every audio and pre-HD era video formats imaginable (including Flac of course, which is a big deal if you've got one of those 80gb+ HDD models, or are going to apply audiophile hardware mods) and comes with a slew of useful…

@xxdesmus: Kat? She probably wrote it on her Nexus One.

I just saw on Amazon that Time Bandits Blu-ray was released two weeks ago. That's cool. A pop-up book 3D conversion...? Meh
