		<description><![CDATA[That's why when Apple introduced the iPhone, I had a geek-gasm right on the spot (no, really, ask anyone within Instant Messaging distance of my MacBook.) Finally, my prayers have been answered – a smartphone that's actually smart, that'll integrate with all my mobile data, that'll connect me to mail, IM and the Internet like a real computer. Finally, a cell phone for the rest of us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: The Myvu is unmistakingly cool, and for users looking for an immersive audio/video experience to go with their PMP, the Myvu is an excellent choice. Even the $269 price tag is pretty reasonable for this type of display device. Only those who need glasses to correct their vision should beware. It scores an 8 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple's had it's big "It's Showtime" press event just a couple of hours ago, and I'm still struggling to figure out what the hoopla was about. Modestly upgraded iPods, adding movies and TV shows at higher resolution to iTunes, and iTV – which is basically Airport Express for video. Uh-huh. Okay. That's nice and all. But where's the other stuff, cooler stuff, more important stuff, the stuff we've been waiting for Apple to deliver?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: I'm going to give the RoverTv an "8" for effort. In my book, you get bonus points for innovation, and this is a very innovative little device that by and large exceeded my expectations. Yes, it has it's problems, the biggest among these an overly sensitive player that made outputting video to a TV screen a challenge. But, with a little practice, you can address this problem by re-encoding video through an application that RoverTv plays nicely with, like FFMPEG. Speaking of nice, it would be nice if, in the next revision, Doghouse added a jog wheel or touchscreen to control the device. And – dare I dream – a plug-in for iTunes that will allow you to use Apple's media manager to manage content directly on the RoverTv.

Despite these problems, the RoverTv is my now my favorite PMP for video playback. It's especially fun to download video podcasts meant for the iPod and play them on the RoverTv. Mmmm! That's good video!]]></description>
