Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
Asus is updating the Linux drivers of the Asus Eee PC to make its My Cinema U3100 Mini DVD-T and DMB-TH tuners work. Based on results of preliminary testing, the Linux drivers now work well with the USB TV Tuners, except for the H.264 software decoding. This means that HDTV channels won’t be able to broadcast properly in the Eee. Other TV channels that broadcast using MPEG-2 will work just fine, but as of now it will not support any recording. But hey, with such limited on-board storage and slow processing you wouldn’t want to be recording too much anyway, better leave that function for your desktops or other equally powerful laptops.
The TV tuner compatibility certainly adds up to the already great features of the Asus Eee PC. It’s no wonder that many sub-notebook manufacturers are following the path of the Asus and are coming out with their own versions of the Eee PC.
