While I was in Vegas, I could not resist getting a Zune. I was quite used to my Ipod, but I needed a player with the possibility of viewing wmv videos without needing to convert the format. Yes, what a pain to convert wmv with a tool and getting a video with sound totally desynchronized ! Seems that the Ipod format is a specialist in such annoying behavior.

So, just a stop at Fry's to get the 16GB Zune HD and enjoy :-)

The screen is great with a excellent quality, and the navigation as simple as on my Ipod.

That is unfortunate that it is not sold in Europe, but this will probably be the case soon and the consequence is that Marketplace is not available for me and the name of the radio stations are the ones coming from the US. Oh, and it also needs the power adapter and converter but not a problem if you charge it on the USB...

Definitely my new mp3 player...

While packing my stuff for LV, I just saw that the SPC09 keynote will be streamed live, on the conference web site.

The Dell Latitude D600 is quite old now, but I wanted to give it a chance to be recycled in a W7 machine.

After the installation of the OS that went well, I had several problems with the wirelesss network adapter and the graphic card. Checking on the Dell web site, no Windows 7 or Windows Vista drivers for such hardware. Finally, installing the Windows XP ones made it and except the fact that today I don't have the Aero themes working (needs a WDDM driver) everything seems working well.

Notice that the performances are very good for a pretty old laptop.
