Sony And Best Buy Tag-Team For iPod Docks

You’d think if Sony was teaming up with Best Buy, it’d be for a cheaper line of stuff that looks cool to retake minds and hearts—nope. Their new Altus line does look cool though, for iPod docks, anyway.

Moneual I*magine HTPC Looks Purdy, Steals Out Hearts

This little orb is a Moneual I*magine home theatre PC, packed with a Cure 2 Duo 2.2GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, HDMI output and a 500GB hard drive for all your fave music or movies. The big draw here is the design, a matter of taste but we think it’s beautiful. We also like the responsiveness of that touchscreen, and are told that if you trick the PC’s innards out with an ATI 2400 XT graphics card, it can play back 1080p. Look for it in March for $US1999.
