U.S. Mobile & Xbox 360

U.S. Mobile
Russ is looking at the state of the U.S. mobile phone market.
As I said in the comments section; the problem is that Nokia & co. have yet to produce a phone that is really compelling to the average consumer. 99% of the U.S. mobile consumer market doesn't care about phones, as long as they're free or dirt cheap.
Xbox 360 Russ also bought a Xbox 360. He just found out about its Media Center Extension abilities.
I was seriously considered buying one too. Not that I play a whole lot of games. But I've been looking at ways to stream videos wirelessly from my PC to a TV. Unfortunately the Xbox doesn't support the xvid (or divx) format, which is a pretty big limitation in my book.
I've also been tempted to buy a D-Link DSM-320RD, except that I've returned every single D-Link product I've ever bought. It hasn't gotten very good reviews either. But it's the only box I've seen that supports both WPA and the xvid codec.
