Sub10.

I am in love.
 

In a nod towards my lax reading comprehension skills and lack of attention to detail......

Treo 700P on the EVDO network? I am posting from it now......

Can one play video ipod through the TV? If so, what's the quality like?

I am in love.
 

It's a Chocolate.

I am loving it. Haven't installed the music bit yet, but think it's a really cool phone even without it.

Text messaging is okay, but wish it had the predicitive text like my old phone did.

I'm also interested if you decide to go the Nike route. I have a 2 gig nano, bought in the spring. It holds 500 songs or 2 days' worth, theoretically. For me, it's plenty for finding something to listen to while running. I wouldn't mind more space either so would buy the 8 that's now available.

I bought a holder which is not dashing looking but highly practical. It is foam and has a clip on it. You can attach it to your shorts or on the armband it comes with. I always use the clip-on with various kinds of workout bottoms. It is light enough that there is no tug.http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US...7526322_rc.jpg

I have one. It's pretty accurate and very easy to use. Every time you plug in your nano, you get an upload of your mileage, time and speed. Plus whenever you run your fastest mile, Lance Armstrong comes on and tells you "Quick they're on to you, get a full blood transfusion."

Of course, the only limitation is that you have to wear the NIKE shoes that you put the transmitter in so if you run at work and at home, better have that figured out.

That's my hestitation -- the worst shin splints ever came from my wearing Nike shoes.

Baby, you're the most!

Back in '91 just before I turned semi-pro, I bought my first pair of Nikes. Huaraches (sic). Wore em half dozen times and Got awful shin splits. Didn't wear Nikes again until about 03. Now I like em. No shin splits. But also not semi, quasi or otherwise pro.

Go figure.

Ymmv. Obviously.

It depends on the TV. I've played ipod video on a 17in. flat panel (plasma) computer screen, and it's watchable but grainy. Anything larger would be shitty quality.

Actually, you don't need to wear Nikes. You can rig the sensor to your laces, or create your own under-the-insole divit for it. Plenty of talk about that on various running web sites. Lots of people don't like Nike running shoes.

There was a piece on it this morning. That wasn't you from the Portland Running Company, was it?

(Also on NPR this morning, related to running, a piece on Chi Running, though I suspect this is a discussion for another board.)

Wiiiiiiiiii
 

Nintendo Wii to hit U.S. stores Nov. 19
Video-game giant says successor to GameCube will cost $249.99

I might buy it just because I like the name.
And it's cute.

The Wii's game controller breaks the mold of console controllers: It's a slim wand that communicates the user's movements wirelessly to the main machine. Nintendo demonstrated a bowling game where the player moves the wand like he's throwing a ball down the lane.

Nintendo hopes the innovative controller, low price and popular game franchises like Mario Brothers and Zelda will recruit new gamers to console gaming.

Camcorders again
 

We are weighing using our Citi Thank You points to get a digital camcorder and I thought I'd solicit opinions on the models available. (I'm not looking for a debate on whether this is an efficient use of the points, or whether I'd get a better camera by paying cash for one.)

Unfortunately they don't give model numbers or very much detail, so looking for c-net reviews on each one will only give me more information and thereby make decision-making even more difficult for me. I plan to call for more details about my desired model before actually ordering it, but am trying to narrow the field before the call.

So, to the extent any one of you is inclined to click on these links and consider the choices, which models among the following would you consider? Burger, I know you think DVD has no real advantage over Mini-DV so no need to restate your advice to SEC Chick. )

I tend to think any of them would be fine. I have a Panasonic Lumix camera, so to the extent that the Pana camcorder uses the same memory card for its still picture function, I guess that would be in its favor.

Get more details, but yes. You have two choices: MiniDV v. DVD and Sony vs. Panasonic.

I have a version of the panasonic 3 CCD MiniDV camcorder. excellent picture quality, except in low light. (This was what the review said too). The sony is better in low light, but may not have as good picture quality. If you opt for MiniDV over DVD, make sure it is in fact MiniDV. The panasonic doesn't say there--I'd reject it if it uses any other type of tape.
