No thread yet? Palm hits a home run again. Pre Plus and Pixi Plus coming to Verizon Wireless. 3D games available today including Need For Speed Underground and Sims 3, native SDK beta coming to the public in March. New OS update in Feburary includes video recording, editing and sharing. Flash plugin beta coming soon to app catalog. Full OS integration and multitasking with 3D games. Oh, and a tethering app. Search app catalogs on the web and send apps to your phone.
palm pixie blows and has no wifi. NO WIFI. CES is down this year. I've seen no game changer yet but it's Thursday.
I have read a bit about it over on ign.com Apparently Optima (my same projector) made a 3-D gaming one. Sounds pretty neat.
Pixi Plus for VZW will have WiFi. Pre Plus gets double storage, double memory and touchstone cover out of the box.
the touchstone charging is great but they need to standardize that whole wireless charging evolution before things get out of hand. I want something bigger i guess. Apps on the palms should be sweet though.
My officemates and I were loving the 3D television...particularly Samsung. Their 7mm television was pretty sweet too. Saw the Woot.com guys wandering around the central hall. Panasonic's 152 inch plasmas was pretty sweet also...although, I figure that if I had that in my house, I'd still have to scream at my kids to get out of the way so I could see the tv.
I'm looking at laptops with i5/i7 that were released at CES. I'm liking the ThinkPad T410/T510 (I have a T400 from work). But I also like the HP Envy 15 HP released with an i5 for $1300 (they only had it with an i7 prior for $1800). The Alienware M11x is looking awesome, but no release date and I want atleast a 14" screen. Anyone see any other performance laptops with solid construction for ~$1,000?
hold that thought. precentral moderator palm site. click on details next to features. seems they would have made it an issue to point 512 out. it's still up in the air in regard to that. the "jon rubinstein" that posts on engadget is not the real jon rubinstein. nevertheless, i'm happy that verizon (and at&t later this year) gets two webos devices because in regard to updates/apps/etc and my sprint pre... ... i can reap the benefits (/the wedding singer). anyhow, it looks like the pre will indeed get "full" flash before its competitors.
Yes and I can't wait flash. (And no, not to look at p*rn) Just downloaded Need For Speed. About to try it out.
i can't wait either. (and yes, yes to look at p*rn... amongst other things). :grin: j/k... i think. they say asphault is just as good if not better than nfs. air lang, not sure how palm has sunk. i can agree that they've had a low profile during the iphone's peak.
I've been in #webos-internals all day, and a Palm engineer came in there and confirmed that it is in fact 512MiB RAM on the Pre Plus. The guy who started that thread is misinformed. I'm just disappointed that Pre+ is going to be exclusive to Verizon. I really want the extra RAM, but it's not worth the much higher plan rates and that horrid $350 ETF. Sprint plans FTW, and besides, Verizon's data network isn't better than Sprint's.
Yes. Very impressive picture. Had a resolution of something around 4000 x 2000. I'm still blown away by the 3d tv's. Sony had a pretty cool looking video game that was in 3d. My coworkers were all giddy over some "egg" chair that had speakers inside of it, noise eliminating foam inside and a subwoofer under the seat. Looked silly but they were convinced they needed one for their gaming sessions. Forgot to expand on the Samsung 7mm television...it was only 7mm thick...not big. And had a great picture.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to catch on to that. I can't edit threads or I would have fixed it immediately.
I'm seriously thinking of picking one up when they come out in the spring. Never thought I'd say that about a Dell product again, but this does look pretty damn awesome. Some info: So nice is the output that, through the press conference, there was a Star Trek game running onstage on a big screen. We all assumed it was powered by the huge Alienware desktop next to it. It turned out that it was powered by the little M11X, which outputs via HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA. Read More http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010...re-notebook-11-inches-and-1000/#ixzz0c4kuIxSB Not many details have been released so far. The M11x isn't yet on sale, after all, and it will still be a couple of months before you can buy one. What the company reps have said so far has gamers like me terribly interested, though. Here's the rundown: •It has an 11.6", 1355x768 display •It's packing a Core2Duo processor •It will feature switchable graphics, running on a low-performance integrated GPU when on the desktop to offer over 6 hours of battery life and switching to a 1GB GeForce 335M GPU when gaming for better performance (and "around 2 hours" of battery life) •It weighs about 4 lbs. •It runs Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at over 30fps at highest settings, and scores in the 6,000-7,000 range in 3DMark (Dell didn't disclose which version of 3DMark nor which settings were used). •It will cost "under $1,000" fully loaded. Sure, those specs and that kind of performance doesn't hold a candle to those 8-pound high performance 15" notebook, let alone the 17" or 18" desktop replacement models that cost two grand and weigh 12 lbs. But gamers have been absolutely screaming for an honestly affordable, smaller, lightweight laptop that they can actually play core 3D games on with decent performance. It looks like Alienware is stepping up to the plate. http://www.pcworld.com/article/1862...big_gaming_performance_in_a_tiny_package.html
You make a CES thread and just give us some info about Palm? Really? Anyhow, saw that a few tweets where folks were watching a football game during ESPN's 3D demo. They seemed pretty blown away. I would love to see that live.
