For starters, we just can't stand HP's consumer laptops (not to be confused with the company's rapidly improving business lineup), and the HDX16 and HDX18 seem to revel in all that's wrong about HP's consumer approach -- no matter how many million units they move. The glossy trackpad is difficult to use, the overly-glossy screen is bad enough in press shots, and a downright pain in real life, and the.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/393844772/ HP intros HDX16 HDX18 entertainment notebooks- September 16, 2008 Filed under: Laptops Whoa, boy -- HP just went loony on us tonight, and in the midst of everything else, we found a new pair of HDX notebooks. Kicking things off is the X16, which boasts a woefully under-pixelated 16-inch 1,366 x 768 resolution display, a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU, NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce 9600 GT, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB 5,400RPM hard drive, dual-layer SuperMulti optical drive and built-in WiFi Bluetooth. As for the beastly X18, you'll find a lot of the same kit internally,.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/393844776/ HP goes wild with new mice and keyboards- September 16, 2008 Filed under: Peripherals We know -- there's a certain sect of you out there that just goes bonkers whenever a new mouse and or keyboard is released. Unfortunately, we'll be catering to the other 99% with this one. Alongside a few new laptops, a new desktop and a pair of digiframes, HP is also unveiling a whole host of input peripherals this evening. Up first is the HDX Laser Mouse, which features five programmable buttons, on-the-fly DPI switching up to 2,400, five individual setting...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/393844774/ HP announces the TouchSmart IQ800 series- September 16, 2008 Filed under: Desktops The second-gen TouchSmart IQ500s just arrived in July, but HP isn't sitting still -- say hello to the new TouchSmart IQ800 series. Both the new TouchSmart IQ804 and IQ816 feature a 25.5-inch 1920 x 1200 touchscreen with various TouchSmart-specific apps, a TV tuner with remote, integrated webcam, Bluetooth, HP Pocket Media drive bay, and an ambient light to illuminate your keyboard, but the IQ804 confusingly has a higher-clocked 2.16GHz T5850 Core 2 Duo on a 667MHz bus with.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/393844773/ HP trots out 10.4-inch df1000 3.5-inch df300a1 digiframes- September 16, 2008 Filed under: Digital Cameras, Displays Don't look now, but HP just got official with two new digital photo frames that could barely be any further apart in terms of size. On the small side, we've got the 3.5-inch df300a1, which rocks a 320 x 240 resolution display (with a 400:1 contrast ratio) and has room for up to 45 pictures on the internal memory. If that's not enough, users can load up additional images by way of an SD SDHC MMC slot, and while the AC USB power options are dandy, the...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/393844775/ Mildly frightening Verizon promo video gets employees hype for BlackBerry Storm- September 16, 2008 Filed under: Cellphones Hey, bet you'd like to know that Verizon Wireless' Mike (you know, from Minute with Mike) thinks the BlackBerry Storm is going to "crush the competition." He also expects his sales team to "take the world by storm." He also states that this handset's screen is "built to be the most responsive of its time."

Still no word on pricing or availability, but unless you're a crazy Tosh fanboy or super into the portable DVD player-looking design, we're certain you can find another netbook with a 1.6GHz Atom to keep you warm in the meantime.
