: Obviously it is very early on in the release of this product, but I am looking at these pictures and I don't see a scroll wheel, only rocker switches. That seems like a tedious and clumsy way to navigate.
The handset looks nice however, I am afraid I would find myself hating it after just a few weeks... we'll see...

Earlier this week, the open-source music player built on Mozilla technology, Songbird, finally made its 1.0 release.

: "What Songbird delivers is something Apple can't: a more open version of iTunes that runs on PC, Mac, and Linux machines. Apple's locked-down and closed iTunes player lets Songbird comfortably find its niche as the open, alternative music player, much as Firefox became the alternative web browser. "
: Not tried songbird as yet. Does it fulfill all the same features as iTunes? I listen to podcast whilst driving and download the odd film here and there.
: No, like Firefox and Flock and all the other Mozilla software, it's a RAM hog on my Mac and eventually becomes sluggish and need to be quit and restarted. Great ideas, well implemented but iTunes runs all day without causing me problems.

: Since Hulu, I watch most of my NBC and Fox shows online, besides online specials. With videos in HD and amazing streaming speeds, I think Hulu is here to stay. Infact these days I wonder why YouTube doesn't have HD quality videos for most cases!
