HP Officially Announces 40g MP3 Stereo Component

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-lust-after dept.

jspectre writes "HP announced their new de100c "digital entertainment center." Containing a 40g drive and a built in CDRW drive it will store "up to 750 CDs of music" or 9000 tracks. You can make your own playlists and burn them out to CDR/CDRW's. All of this for $999.99. No mention of any digital management controls on the device." I totally need a review model! I saw this thing at the last LinuxWorld and it looked good, but only really playing with it for a few weeks will let me know if it's better then the audiotron that I've been using in my home system.

    I'm a little tired of CmdrTaco's shameless begging for every new piece of equipment.

    The "10/100 baseT card" is mentioned right there under "what's in the box", BEFORE the modem. The solution to your problem is *reading*.

    Apple releases a portable and sleek MP3 player for (an admittedly ovepriced) 400 bucks and it is "lame," whist HP releases a shitty computer in a smaller box and Taco is all "I totally need a review model."

    Taco, you are a fuck. You've let your little media conglomerate go to your head. Be a journalist or an evangelist, but don't be both... it doesn't become you.
