Windows Mobile Phones
There were several Windows Mobile based cell phones that were on display at the Microsoft booth.
While many were bulky there was one Audiovox phone that truly stood out:
Not ideal for typing on, the Audiovox SMT5600 would be perfect for just synching your contacts and other information from your Windows based PC. It's small, light and very easy to use, we were quite impressed by it.
Motorola showcased a Windows Mobile based phone, the MPX, that could flip open two different ways:
The phone supported both 802.11 networks and GSM networks, also a nice feature.
However, like many Windows Mobile based phones, we felt that the phone was a bit too bulky and the interface a little too cumbersome for our tastes.

"we had a 46" samsung and gave it right back, viewing from the side looks dark"Do you know anything about plasma vs DLP?
DLP's only life problem is you'll have to buy a new bulb.
plasma's problem is that it will continue to go darker and darker until the gas runs out of energy.
You don't like the dark of dlp you aint gonna like the dark of plasma.
#############################################
Plasma - can't change the gas- no refills - no recharging. Continue to get darker picture.
Dlp - change a bulb.
Plasma - spend lots of money know and throw away soon.
Today, I can get a 76" dlp for $1400 with <2cm display thickness.

"The Radeon X800 will be available in the first week of February"That's odd. What's this, then?

Was the second image on the very last page messed up for anyone else? I could only see the top 10% of the image and the rest was blacked out. The image is supposed to show the MGE cases. The text just above the image is..."MGE also demonstrated a more sleek lineup of cases, a welcome change from the overly busy gaming cases that we've seen far too much of lately:"

"The entire Sound Storm division at NVIDIA has been shut down and thus NVIDIA's Intel solution will have HD Audio support, but we will not see the return of Dolby Digital Encoding support or NVIDIA's Sound Storm DSP."I don't believe this for a second. Can someone please confirm or deny this claim? Thanks!
