Myself and two colleagues banded together and ordered 3 from NewIT a couple of weeks ago. Delivery time was around 20 hours after order placed.

I've just recently bought one of these - I've not done much more than install Debian and a LAMP server on it thus far but have come away thoroughly impressed with the kit. All the magical incantations you need to a) set the device up to boot from SD card and b) install debian to said SD card can be found here. In my case I needed to follow the instructions to update the u-boot system on the plug, but I presume by now they are shipping with the updated ROM in place.

Long term I intend to offload torrenting and streaming duties to the plug, attaching it to a NAS for storage... I have a few other ideas in mind additional to this, which may or may not require additional plugs, but at a cost of around £90 it's no great hardship :)

My year-old E71 uses Micro-USB, as does my finacee's E75...

But here in the UK Android seems to be picking up momentum - theres finally some choice in handsets available (a few from HTC and a few others inbound from the likes of Sony and Samsung). While the initial G1 OS was a bit clunky the cupcake (1.5) update improved things a lot.

Speaking anecdotally, half a dozen of my friends have recently upgraded their phones (as in the past month). Five of them picked Android (3 Magic's and two Hero's) while the other went for a Nokia. Of course I also know more than a few iPhone fans as well.

Speaking personally, this Nokia user will be looking at Android very closely when its time to upgrade at the start of next year.

From what we saw while Sam Worthington plays a dude in a wheelchair than it hooked up with one of these avatars, there are others that have normal mobility that use them as well - Sigourney Weaver's character for a start

I'm with you on this - I was pretty much blown away by what I saw - the 3D was extremely well done, and so what if the story is apparantly Dances With Wolves in a SciFi setting? Besides as mentioned more than once above, Cameron and Sci-Fi have a long and successful history together. Personally, I can't wait to see the finished article...

I think he is referring to performance - theres a more than noticable hit on the performance of a netbook utilising full disk encryption (I read a couple of benchmarks suggesting it was in the region of 10-20%). YMMV as to whether its worth the hit for the security of what you want to store on the Eee

Likewise - I won't replace mine until the current one breaks, and will only bother to update the maps if the current ones are hideously inaccurate - on my two-year old Tom Tom I have found only two map inaccuracies on my travels - one is in my home city so isn't a problem as I never use it for navigating here, and the other is right by a family member in London, again in an area I know well.

Personally I have several devices that are GPS enabled, but I still only use the Tom Tom in the car - simple reason is its a big touchscreen interface so if I do need to interact with it I can do so easily, while the small (by comparison) non-touchscreen of either of my phones make them singularly unsuited for such use (well unless I pulled over first of course).

In saying that, however, my phone having GPS and maps capability *has* come in handy when on foot and lost in an unfamiliar city - the interface issues aren't a factor then, but the convenience of having the capaility when in such a situation is huge.

I do have the HD-DVD drive as does one other guy I know with an X-Box. Admittedly though that was after HD-DVD lost and we both intentionally bought into a dying format simply because everything was dirt cheap - we both of us have PS3's too and in both cases they see significantly more use as a playback device than a console...

Agreed - I picked up the game cheap as soon as it was released (think I paid £17 on a preorder from Amazon for it) some six months ago and since then have played 1-3 sessions a week on it of around 2-4 hours a time (usually 1 a week of about 3 hours). I've picked up more friends on Steam then I have at all before (like alot of other people I try to play with known people, but if we fill a slot with a random and (s)he seems cool I'll add them and play with them again).

We generally play co-op campaigns on Expert, but occaisionally throw a little Vs or Survival into the mix

I feel I have *more* than gotten my money's worth out of Left 4 Dead over the past six months, and I like the look of more or less all the changes - especially the 'multiple routes controlled by the AI' part. The one thing I hope is that the L4D campigns are available within L4D2 (whether you can import them from the first game or are just included by default) so its not necessary to move between the games for the different campaigns...

Didn't they say something about the T-101 having a power lifespan of 120-odd years? Given the war is 30 years in the future then why can't they send Arnie back to get the records and just wait it out until he catches up with the original timeline?

Personally I'm going to go with 'because that would be a *really* boring movie' :) Plus of course from a logical point of few it would make sense that the knock-on effect of changing even one thing sixty year is likely to be more far-reaching than changing that one thing 30 years previously instead... But I prefer my interpretation :)

Sorry, I suppose I should have said 'feels a bit wasteful' which more accurately sums up my feelings on the matter.

Does mean rebuying the original game though which is a bit of a hassle...

Well, personally I tend to buy stuff that I've been really looking forward to new, and stuff I'm reasonably interested in at a point down the line second hand (especially single-player only games - give it three months and the second hand market is generally flooded. Good examples here would be Assassin's Creed or Mirrors Edge - while neither game is worth the fifty quid or so they were brand new, for a tenner three months down the line I was more than happy with them. On the flip side however I genenrally never trade games in, instead I like to have a library of games that will be sold on with the console when I eventually tire of it/choose to upgrade.

Until I can either get the DLC via Steam (as I did the original game) or just buy it in a shop I'm not interested - I don't want anything to do with Games for Windows, tvm - the horror stories are more than enough to make me give that platform a wide bearth.
