Seems strange he has to wait for this technology until next year. The USAF has been using Smartboards for years. My kids school systems is installing Smartboards and Projectors in all the class rooms.
Maybe he mentioned this because M$ is going to start selling one next year.
The Matrix was the first DVD I bought when I built a PC with a Creative DVD drive with decoder card and watched it on my monitor. Then when I bought my HD set and DENON DVD-3910 DVD player with HDMI interface it was the first video I watched on it. So yea having the Matrix on HD might convince me to buy a player, but I will probably just keep waitng for the PS3.
Get a Tapwave Zodiac: you will have a nice 4 inch screen, Stereo Speakers that are very loud, 2 SD card slots for 4Gb of total storage, Bluetooth, and a 4-5 hour play time. Use Core Media Player and pocketDiVXencoder for video. Use LJZ for Console emulation of GB,NES,SNES,Gen,NGP,WS,and TG16. There are also some SD game(Doom,DukeNukem,SpyHunter). There is also a version of Quake avaliable. It also a Palm PDA so you have a Office suit with Document To Go, and a few Web browser that work with a Bluetooth Phone.
The current AWACS will be upgraded from 70s mainframe to Modern Multi-Server Multi-Workstation Windows/UNIX platforms. We can't wait to start doing the software for the new platform. The only problem is we are still using the same old tired 707 airframe.
Even though it was a goofy movie Pluto Nash had some interesting moon technology: Moon domes, hotel made from recycled cargo containers, jumping moon canyons, and freeze dried dogs 8^)
You could do the old FPS check on Quake 3 or RtCW for LINUX and Window$. Just be sure to have all the display settings identical. In my experience the LINUX machine will run 15% faster. 8^)
The whole switch over means the handheld TV you know own that can only recieve local analog broadcast will become a paper-weight. Maybe some one will develope a cheap pocket tuner-converter. All the other old TVs will still work as long as they are hooked up to a Sat/Cable box.

A few years ago Virgin gave away essentially laptop PCs with a OS that downloaded ads and had a webbrowser, it also included free dialup access. It lasted about six months until Virgin abandoned it and the service went dark, the customers got to keep the hardware and it could be reconfigured to work with any dialup service or you could install a laptop HD and any OS you want. They sold the extras on Half.com for $30 so I bought 2 more. I converted 2 of mine into digital picture frames and they are still running!
I did this a while back with a 5 watt signal booster and a small antenna on the roof. I can hear it on a FM headset anywhere on my 10 acre property. I also have my office XM reciever hooked to it so I can listen to Opie & Anthony 8^)
I/m using Velcro for mine. They also share the same universal Component AV cable, you just cannot turn them on at the same time. Now the Gamecube has to sit on another shelf next the Dreamcast that is about the same case design. My old Panasonic 3DO has a somewhat stackable design, It sits under my NES. The worst designs are the top loading cartridge console, the 2600, SNES, and N64 take up to much room.
TCPMP is a great player. It can also play the H.623 Mov files my Kodak DX6490 camera produces. I have tried it on 3 different Palm PDAs. My Tungsten E was the slowest due to it's 133Mhz CPU. My sons Zire 32 Played good due to its 200Mhz CPU, but the 120x120 STN screen is crap. The best is my Tapwave Zodiac with it's 200 Mhz Cpu, ATI video accel. and 320x240 TFT screen. Also the Front firing stereo speakers sound as good as a PSP. Its just bad they went out of business.
Cheap Zodiac Games
With the Zire 31s Headphone jack and SD card slot (1 Gig card works) you can listen to MP3s and Watch Divx Avi's and MPEG-1 videos. I use the Free Core media player (TCPMP) to watch most video formats including the H.263 MOVs my Kodak camera shoots.
The best Free Video Encoder for PDAs is the PocketDivXEncoder. It can scale a movie down to 90megs (160x84 30fps DivX w/ Mono MP3 sound). Cheaper than I-POD video. I also have my ATI All in Wonder record shows direct to DivX. IF you want good quality sound and video Go with a Tapwave Zodiac, they are avalable on E-bay for less then $200.

You can always use a HD camera to capture it straight from the screen. Of course there is already a
What the PSP needs is a Writable UMD drive for a PC or a Sony DVR.
Dishnetwork is selling a Video IPOD killer but it only work with certain DISH-DVRs.

All the countries in world that use Nuclear power could get together and build a storage site down in Antartica.
I was going to suggest storing it on the moon, but we saw what happened back in 1999.

It would be cool if it had a way to listen to MP3s from my server the way my Palm TX can.

I drove my 88 Fiero GT to work today, had no problems taking curves at speeds no other American car can match 8^)
Since it is London they could go down Piccadilly and buy a copy for 5 quid from a street vendor 8^)
He did say the magic word "PLEASE"
Just say no to the Apple Rape Machine
Get a DS and a 7-inch DVD player or a Palm Tungsten E2 with an SD slot

My Pinto had a 351W V-8 stuffed in it, very few cars made today could beat it including my new Mustang GT 8^)

Didn't James Bond have this system of number plate changing?

It could not be as hard as connecting a 200 gig hard drive to a Ipod Nano :
I have found photographic proof of such an event at 8^)
