The Palm Pixi is now available and the verdict is mixed. WebOS has not taken off in the way that Palm would have hoped, and the guys argue that the only real chance they have is if they expand to other carriers. The Blackberry Storm 2 also receives middling opinions, but the addition of more under-screen button contacts makes the clickscreen work marginally better. Samsung’s foray into the smartphone OS market with Bada also sparks a discussion.
It was a big for media center device announcements. Boxee is getting into the dedicated hardware business, and they will be having an official announcement on December 3rd. Dell has also unveiled a Mac mini sized media center computer, the Zino HD, that will be priced at an aggressive $250.
Mini DisplayPort has been accepted by VESA as a standard connector type and the guys feel like we will be seeing it implemented in a lot more devices starting next year. A few clarifications and a site update bring this one to a close.
