those things (although not necessarily in purple).

^ Yeah, I should have one. So many times I've been so bored during a long layover because I couldn't charge my laptop at the airport.

But I didn't need it in Iran... my dad has a power bar which not only gives you 6 outlets, but also has all 4 kinds of plugs for each of those outlets.

I updated the i900 to the latest firmware which adds USB charging, but I'm still probably gonna have to pick one of these up if the store I bought it from doesn't give me one.

Edit: Holy crap, just took the latest episode of Weeds and dumped it on the phone's memory through USB, and it plays right away on the phone. Even for my last PocketPC I had to convert most videos to WMV format. Take that Apple, seriously.

800 dpi is all you need, really and the battery will last 48 hours. images/smilies/smile.gif

(But not the advertised 1 week. Unless you use it for 3 hours a day).

My shitty Microsoft mouse does about 4 months on a set of batteries and that's using the computer for an average of about 6 hours a day.

janstett · September 16th, 2008, 04:14 PM

Oh yeah, that reminds me, got a 30" Dell monitor that does 2560x1600.

Unfortunately I have to play UT2K4 at 1920x1080, but UT3 plays at 2560x1600.

speaking of power plugs... what sort of a plug does japan use?

Jacobfox · September 16th, 2008, 05:58 PM

US style plug. It is 220V, but most american stuff (except for hairdryers) works fine.

That's because it's LED powered, correct? The G5 and G7 are laser powered and have a very high refresh rate and accuracy.

DO WANT.

How much was it by chance?

Vette Boss · September 17th, 2008, 04:10 AM

I think they're about $1,500...

For real? For less than that I bought a super thin 42" LCD... I know big screen TVs aren't ideal for working on the computer, but still, who's going to pay $1,500 for a 30-inch screen from Dell no less?

Someone who wants a higher-resolution screen. 2560x1600 don't come cheap.

720p I take it?

Shawn · September 17th, 2008, 11:35 AM

^ No, it's full on 1080i. Even though I don't even have cable, it's supposedly a good TV (Sharp D64).

Like chaos says it only goes to 1920x1080, but I can't imagine someone buying a screen half the size for the extra pixels unless they do some kind of pro work.
