And hey, that’s the good news! Just like the machine we saw emerge about a week ago, this new system includes an Intel 1.6GHz N270 Atom processor, a built-in ultra low-power HD AVC/VC-1/MPEG-2 hardware decoder (which is capable of decoding of H.264 / VC-1 media contents at up to 40Mbps and MPEG-2 at up to 125Mbps) and support for Blu-ray
Can it be? Can it be? Nintendo’s Wii has finally left its perpetual state of “sold out?” We can’t definitely say that’s the case across the board, but we can personally say that we’ve seen more Wiis on local store shelves (meaning at least one, and usually not two) over the past month than we’ve seen in the past two years. Oh, and aside from that totally anecdotal evidence, GameStop senior vice president of merchandizing Bob McKenzie has given the world at large reason to believe that supply and demand are finally,
Looking to construct a new HTPC? Need a graphics card to finish the build? If so, MSI’s hoping you’ll cast a glance its way, as it has just announced two new cards that are prime candidates for media center PCs. The R4600 HDMI series is currently made up of just two cards — the R4650 and R4650 — both of which include HDMI sockets for easy TV connections and 512MB or 1GB of RAM (depending on model).Strangely, MSI doesn’t bother sharing other important tidbits like clock / memory speeds or anything like that,

There have been a few workarounds for the lack of native YouTube support in Windows Mobile for some time, but most require users to either purchase software or to configure free software in mind-bending ways.
But Google’s new YouTube Application for Windows Mobile makes viewing viral video a snap. Just install the free software and you’re good to go. The program takes up about 1.5MB of storage and can update itself when Google releases new versions.
As with all data-intensive applications, be sure that you have an unlimited data plan before you start watching YouTube videos; you can rack up a lot of data usage very quickly with any type of streaming media.
To get the Google YouTube app, visit http://m.youtube.com on your mobile device and select “Download the YouTube Application” option on the page.
