HP Media Centre

HD, LCD, HDMI in the DLR??? Steve gets us up to speed on what we need to know before purchasing our next television set. Take HP’s LC3700N, for example: this 37" TV can deliver uncompressed video for more than double the image quality of regular TV. Pair it with HP’s Pavilion 7170n Media Center PC to play back prerecorded shows, or wow guests with surround sound music and a personal slide show at your next party. Did we say party? Caroline shows how to get the word out with a free service from Evite.com.

Portable Audio

Take your entertainment with you when you leave the digital living room. We visit Audible.com where you can purchase & download talking books, newspapers or magazines for portable devices such as the Palm Treo 650 smartphone. And Apple’s iPod Nano is the pencil-thin little brother of the iPod family, great for storing music and photos.
