Archos’ wifi broad

Archos 605 Wifi Review

Archos’s bad-ass PMPs are constantly evolving towards the ultimate do-it-all gadget. The 605 WiFi actually comes close — all it needs is a phone, GPS, and espresso maker. Over-the-air downloads, Web surfing, and AV recording are certainly tantalizing features, but you’ll have to shell out some extra dough on top of the player’s base price. Our 30GB model will run you $299.99, but there are 4GB (flash memory w/ SD card slot), 80GB, supersize 160GB versions coming soon.

Spaceport in New Mexico?

World’s First Spaceport In The Works

In 2008, construction begins on the New Mexico Spaceport. The 100,000 square-foot center will be the hub for all of Virgin Galactic’s operations involving space travel and flight and will cost about $31 million total to build. Seems expensive, but not so much when you consider that it’ll be the place where you can blast into space.

Judging by these renderings of the Spaceport, I’d say that if all of Virgin’s space travel plans fail, it’ll at least be able to open up one bitchin’ nightclub. I bet they play all of Cutting Crew’s hits.

LG Upgrades Bluray Player

LG Upgrades Super Blu, Drops The Price

BH100, Super Blu

LG is playing coy when it comes to the format wars when they damn well know that ________ will win. Pick a side, LG. The Super Blu Player that was showcased at CES is sweet, but a $1,200 player with an identity crisis is way, way too much. So this morning LG has announced the BH200 Super Blu with a few minor upgrades. This time around you’ll be privy to BD-Java and HDi technology, which means you’ll be editing your own version of 300 in no time and hearing useless commentary. HD DVD network connectivity is expected in case you were wondering. Formats supported will include MPEG-2, VC-1, H.264 vid, MPEG 1/2 audio, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS and DTS-HD audio. And yes, HDMI v1.3 will be present. The new Super Blu is expected in stores mid-October with a retail price of around $1,000.
