Will Intel Macs boot XP after all – that is the question

That would make the MacBook Pro the runaway killer notebook. 3 partitions – data – OSX – WinXP (soon to be Vista). No more need for clunky slow and sometimes incompatible Virtual PC.

I’d order one instantly if I could confirm it can do this!

iTunes phone will only hold 100 songs – Engadget – www.engadget.com

That’s it? All the hoopla over the Apple iTunes phone and we get a max of 100 songs? That’s ridiculous!

Ok, that makes my next phone decision very easy – Win Mobile 5.0 – the HTC Tornado (aka the Qtek 8310).

iTunes phone will only hold 100 songs – Engadget – www.engadget.com
Even more iTunes phone details, if you can believe it: a source involved with making the commercials for the new
handset has confirmed for us that it will only hold 100 songs because Apple is worried about cannibalizing iPod shuffle
sales.

iRiver U10 – this looks very sweet

iRiver U10 gets a price:
iRiver U10

You know, we keep wanting to trash the U10 new ultra-tiny flash-based portable video player), for only having a 2.2-inch LCD screen, but that’s actually the same size as the screen on the Archos Gmini 400 and we’ve had no problem watching plenty of video on that (besides, the 320 x 240 pixel screen on the U10 is actually higher res than the 220 x 176 pixel display found on the Gmini). Anyway, we still don’t have a confirmed release date, but the U10 has finally made an appearance on iRiver’s US website, looks like the MSRP will be $250 for the 1GB version and $200 for the 512MB version.

Make this 5 GIG at the same price point and you’ve nailed it!

Plantronics Pulsar 590 headphones reviewed

Plantronics Pulsar 590 headphones reviewed
Today, 2:55 PM

 Us.I2.Yimg.Com P Ap 20050818 Capt.Fx10208181714.Tech Test Bluetooth Headphones Fx102

We like the look of the Plantronics Pulsar 590 Bluetooth stereo headset — something about that retro-DJ style really hooks us. But do they work? And how well do they sound? Turns out they get the job done mighty well, according to Ron Harris of the AP. He tried out a set, both with and without the optional dongle, and found that they produced “killer sound,” and worked well with a range of devices from a DVD player to an Xbox. Unfortunately, he apparently didn’t test them with a phone, so we don’t know how well the mic worked. But we’ve heard enough to convince us that these are at least worth checking out when the rest of us get to look at them in October.
