What's down the pike?
Jan. 9th, 2006 11:24 amI'm leafing through this week's Best Buy's circular. Lots of digital and projection TV sets on sale. But I don't have the room in my house for a projection TV. The 25" I have at home is good enough. (We inherited it from R's grandparents who passed away last year. It replaces the 20" RCA I had for 16 years.)
Are the TV broadcasters still on schedule to cease analog TV signal broadcasting by the end of this year, and broadcast only digital TV signals? I think they're broadcasting both right now.
So...where are the D-to-A conversion boxes?
And Windows Vista (the OS formerly known as "Longhorn"). That's supposed to roll out this year, after having its original release date pushed back. Haven't heard anything recently. The last I heard is that it's still in beta testing. If I get a new PC this year, I'm considering Vista Pro -- but after Service Pack 1 is released. (Poltrone's First Law still holds.)
I think the ear-bud Bluetooth phones are neato. But I can't afford to upgrade now, and won't until I get another job. Are there any adapters so I can use my existing Nokia 5100 phone?
