Re: Asus EeePC 900 Netbook on Woot for $149
If you have the time to watch the Dell Outlet (the official Dell refurb site) like a hawk, you can find better deals than this on the Dell Mini 9, which has an Atom CPU. If you don't have the time,...

Re: Just a thought - A 7" Nokia MID?
Definitely interesting, although it'll almost certainly be less capable and more expensive than they promise, like most gadgets.

Re: Just a thought - A 7" Nokia MID?
I'd love a large (7" screen or bigger) tablet with 2 full-size USB ports, 2 full-size SD slots and video out (maybe composite + HDMI). And the killer feature would be the incredible battery life, far...

Re: View large pictures
But the entire decompressed image doesn't necessarily need to be held in memory.
If you had a clever image viewer, optimized for low RAM use, you could just decode the part of the image that you...

Re: Nintendo DS emulator
Since the DS screens are only each 256 x 192, both could be displayed comfortably on a tablet's single screen. Now, I don't think a DS emulator will ever run at a playable speed on the current...

Re: Uses for an N800
Photo frame? The N800's big, high-res screen makes it an excellent photo viewer. And it's more portable than your netbook.

Re: VCR Replacements after 02/17/09?
A TiVo HD won't be nearly as capable as a HTPC (Home Theater PC), but they're only $250 plus $13/month and have 2 tuners. And they can use CableCards to receive digital cable, which MythTV will...

Re: Change settings for Video Playback in Mplayer
qole mentioned the "-lavdopts lowres=1" command-line flag above. It can do wonders for playback smoothness, at the expense of visual quality.
