  DELL XPS M1330 notebook

  Looks like a good deal.  I prefer Dell to Sony any day as driver support is better on Dell's site.  My not yet 3 year old Vaio does not have an Invidia driver that supports 1440X900 for my new screen, so I had to get a generic one from Invidia that does not support Sony's hot keys.  \

  Dell is a good choice, as are Toshiba.

  Asus EEE

  I was thinking about getting an Asus EEE PC.  It looks like a good way to get a machine thats cheap, light and boots fast.  Anyone had any experience with one?  I understand it will run XP Pro no problem.

  HTC is making a UMPC!

  That's nice.  I want one.  Always wanted a modern interpretation of my old Toshiba Libretto 50!

  Linksys Travel Router

  I recently bought one of these, and it was a great help on a recent trip.  You can set up your own wireless network in your hotel room, and it even will wirelessly 'repeat' the wireless lan in a starbucks so more than one device/person can share a single account.  This is very useful for my SMC Skype wi-fi phone, as it does not have a browser to enter in the sign in information in a hotel room or Starbucks.  Well worth the $US 60 bucks I paid for it.

  Halp! (Drive letter assignment in XP setup)

  It should prompt you before installing where you want the system files to go,  if doing a clean install.  Just say c: and go.

  Tiny tablet

  I was looking at this one yesterday.  It looks like a successor to my old (1997) Toshiba Libretto.  I don't think they're sold in the States, but a shop in Sydney has them for $ A 1,500 or about US 1,200.  Does anybody have one these?

  Dopod 838Pro, 810 or i-Mate JASJAM?

  I have an Imate Kjam, and it has a QWERTY keyboard, and a Dell PDA that doesn't.  If your primary use case is email, get the one with the real keyboard.  Using the stylus is very slow, and not very easy, at least for me.  I think the jas-jam is a bit bigger than the kjam.  I've had no problems with it, although the web browser is not perfect.

  'Hot' Digital Cameras

  Does it support Raw or just jpeg?  Raw is great.
