Yeah, I've only used it so that I can see the performance stats on the device itself, but there are various settings on it that you can enable/disable to improve reliability - oh and you can manually change the encryption keys if you really want to. I guess most people with them will never...

They have their own IP so you can configure them, but any network packets they see they will bridge over the powerline. For example, I've got Wifi->Wifi AP->Comtrend EP->Comtrend AP->ADSL Router Plus 2 airport expresses in the mix too, everything can see everything else on the network.

200 megabit. Mine have never skipped a beat.

I've got six (I think) of the comtrend ones that are supplied with the BT vision boxes. I bought all of mine from ebay and paid between about £25 and £30 for a pair. When I bought them prices were all over the shop, some would go for £60, I just picked my auctions carefully, one pair I bought...

I didn't see many, if any. To be honest when I saw the word event in quotes at the start, it was obvious that this was going to be crap. With regards to her points 1: There's no physical keyboard No s**t sherlock, it's a multitouch tablet, by definition they don't have keyboards. 2: This...

They won't, they recycle the inners of ones that have come in for replacement fixing them and putting a shiny new case on.

On a desktop computer if I come across a site that uses flash for naviagation I go elsewhere, I resent the fact that they force me into browsing in a single window. To be honest I can't remember the last time I came across a site like that though. Most people use jQuery or some other javascript...

Flash is dead for video, html 5 with h.264 is the replacement. Flash apps are irrelevant because you can just write native iPhone ones. And flash websites, well, urgh. Adobe are just moaning because (slowly) their macromedia purchase is going down the toilet.

Exactly, and the situation will only get worse as more and more manufacturers dilute "standard" by adding their own bits into the OS, before you know it you have applications that won't run because they require certain API hooks to do things on their hardware. Application development is going...

Just like it might have been easier to read the thread in the first place. :rolleyes:

See what tom wrote below. Then re-read thread and see what tom just pointed out. Simples.

Bye. Well, actually it's probably higher, I know that's all my family use pc's for at home.

Jesus f**king Christ, it's not that difficult to figure out the Market sector is it? It's quite clearly aimed at those who want to do casual Internet browsing, emailing and book Reading, i.e what 95% of people only ever use a computer for. Go look at its nearest plain old ebook competitor, the...

It comes with a power adaptor.

Common sense has never been a strong point on here!

Flash is dying a (slow) death (right) now though, long live html 5! Well, if you compare it to the amazon kindle dx which is about the same size-ish, 16 gray scales (lol) and does nothing more than read books and has the fab price point of $489, then I think it's a no-brainer to spend the...

Safari on the iPhone supports multiple pages?

Exactly, but you're wasting your breath mate. It's clear who it's aimed at and it's NOT your common or garden geek, its a web browser & email (and more) for those who are intimidated by the tv remote control, this is a whole new target market. We hardly ever bring the laptops downstairs...

Pmsl at the moron that wrote that article. What exactly did they expect, Apple to license the Cortex Core and then completely re-engineer it? lol. Big fail on the part of somebody who doesn't understand how the ARM architecture works. Your chip manufacturer purchases a license from ARM...

No trips to specsavers.

It doesn't, it's just an interim solution to handle the ipad features!

I had satellite broadband back in the day! lol At the time it was awesome, upstream packets went over my ISP (via the satellite providers proxy) and the return packets came back over satellite. They even had a scheduled download service, you could add a file to a queue and you kept your pc...

Simple, it's not aimed at geeks (although a quite percentage will probably buy it). It's aimed at those who don't have the need for a "full computer" and those who've been and bought the £300 special at tesco or PC World and discovered that "waiting 5 minutes for it to boot and then waiting 7...

1Ghz cortex, yum. We did a board here with a 600Mhz cortex based part on and that flew, could do HD decoding in software, this thing must be ridiculous. Oh, and now they have their own chips it'll only be a matter of time before it's "hello DRM...farewell (and good riddance) to pirate...

Apple haters innit. Apple are going to sell a s**t load of these, pmsl at the "i can't see a market" comments, clearly there are many people in this thread who have done better than steve jobs at bringing a company back from the brink.

Yes, I know it's the same product, bad phrasing on my part, I was meaning "as opposed to skys LLU service". The problems are certainly down to skys traffic management and that's what I was alluding to, it's utterly useless at peak times, it's like dial up.

Whatever you do, don't switch to skys IP Stream service (Sky have oversold this product, not enough bandwidth their end and they massively shape the traffic) because it's absolutely bloody terrible. I was amazed when I used my dad's broadband how bad it'd actually got, so I've just switched...

Re: Apple Event 27th Jan Because any legit photos will either have come from inside the apple campus or from a manufacturer, both will have very tight security making it almost impossible to get a decent camera in and making it very difficult to take a decent photo without making it look...

Have you checked what the memory stick is formatted as? Make sure it's a fat variant and not ntfs. Edit: scratch that, just reread and noticed you said existing files were working.

Non RGB scart is bog standard composite.
