ReplayTV definate uses an algorithm that detects black frames.
That is why shows such as BUffy and 24 always used to cause CA problems. They had alot of dark frames. This would cause the replay to skip portions of the program if you left CA on.
The newer version of the software (5.0) greatly reduces these "false positives". But this software release is currently on hold due to some bugs that were encountered.
SonicBlue wasn't in the best financial shape when it bought ReplayTV. WHile I have no doubt the lawsuit wasn't good for them, I think overspending during the boom was more of a problem for SB.
Actually historically, the TiVo & Replay prices were relatively the same. TiVo increased its subscription fee a little while back and D&M is following suit at the end of the month.
Of course if you compare TiVo w/ HMO you are talking about a $100 price difference.
Actually the newer software was much less likely to skip over actually show content. Even on shows like 24 and Buffy where the older software version often skipped shows.
I hope so too, but backwards cambatability isn't always the easiest thing todo. Especially if they change the main hardware significantly. If they do that, it will have to rely on emulation, which would greatly increase the power needed.
IIRC PS2 got around this by using the PS1 cpu as its sound processor.
While they have USB ports, the software has not been developed yet to support usb wifi adaptors. Currently the only option is to use wireless bridges.
Note that even using 802.11b some users have reported problems streaming shows from one unit to another (more so on medium and high quality than low). The bandwidth just isn't there.
I also have this camera and I have to say it has survived many of falls,drops, and spills.
The only downside is that they are very bulky compared to the more modern 2megapixel cams.
Well SB continued to support existing Replay users when they bought out ReplayTV. Of course look at what happened to them...
The problem is that if D&M ditches all of the existing customers, then it will just about ruin the ReplayTV name in the consumer market. ANd they did buy the name.
I can't imagine that supporting the current customer base is too expensive.
Yes, but SB was already saddled with debt when they bought ReplayTV. Then they developed the newer 4k and 5k units. So they probably never got a chance to recoup there R& D costs
D&M already has a viable product design, they just need to keep the software updated.

Says that bluetooth is less than 1% of cellphone radiation. Of course if your phone is in your pocket while using the headset then the radiation is going into your crotch.
says: Wireless headsets replace the wire normally found on a headset with a transmitter and receiver. They can represent a greater health risk than a wired headset, particularly when their frequencies are within Bluetooth or 3G operating specifications. In addition to the wireless headset frequency entering the ear canal, the earpiece attracts higher frequencies generated by the phone and from the air that surrounds all of us.
You never have to worry about physical connectors changing. That was one of the things I always hated about ericsson phones. It seemed like every phone I got had a different connector. So that meant new chargers, new handsfree, and a new data cables.
With BT the only one I will have to get is a new charger and they typically come with the phone.
Probably because the mechanical devices need to move & read a disk would occupy so much space that there wouldn't be much left for the game hardware. While disk drives are good for mp3/music players and such, the processing power for a decent game system requires more hardware.
Think of adding a disk dive to the GBA, you would probably more than double the thickness of it. Quite simply the hardware isn't there yet.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of Nintendo's future portables can play Gamecube discs.

Bought it from Liksang a while ago. It was designed for the original GBA so I had to do a little dremelling for my SP, but it works.
I'm in for $20.

$10/month fee?

Considering the cartridge is on the bottom of the unit, does that mean you will have to play outside and upside down?

Or at least that is what I remember hearing. But it could just be because there was never a need as the Tungsten T had builtin BT.
Palm seemed to have been backing BT pretty strong prior to this.
The worst part is that I heard that the BT SD card doesn't work with Palm OS 5.

ReplayTV may survive in one form or another. It is too early to tell what the intentions of D&M (the company buying the replay & Rio assets) are.

Common houseplants can filter a number of chemicals in the air. See the Nasa study:
I believe the certifications are on a State by state basis. So it can vary throughout the US.
not sure of all of them, but the 50 cent cd has like 20 tracks (not sure if all of them are songs or not).

Very strange keypad though. I guess you could get used to it.
