Some of the key specs are: Wireless networking support (on the ew5000 model), S-Video and composite video output, and MP3 and WMA support. The OS support is limited to Windows ME or XP. This is an interesting addition to their Windows Media Center based 863N, 873N, and 883N desktop models."

    HP stuff, with the exception of the calculators and specialized instruments, is junk. Their consumer printers are totally software based. Their computers are over priced for their piss-poor quality. Don't get me into their software. Omniback is mostly a hit and miss proposal. Buggy and lagging extremely slow to support recent releases of software. Their enthusiasm from linux is considered weak at best. They killed OpenMail. Really, HP doesn't have anything which I'd spend money for. This latest announcment is another featureless example.
