Apparently it might not be coming to the UK: http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/06/15/motorola-droidmilestone-3-not-coming-to-uk/

I'm eager for an Android phone so that rules out the HTC Pro 7. The Desire Z is certainly a candidate. I currently have the HTC Hero and the laggyness is just killing me so I'm after the fastest phone I can find. I might give up on getting a QWERTY keyboard and get a Samsung Galaxy S II.

Just wondering if there's any news on the HTC Doubleshot coming to the UK?

Yup, certain. The problem they see is that some of the clips play the audio fine but only show a vertical stripe for the video. The videos which work for my client don't stutter. I'm 99.9% sure that the stuttering I'm seeing when running WMP9 on Virtual XP is due to the fact my host...

Hmm... it turns out that "Virtual Windows XP" in Win7 has WMP9 installed so I can run WMP9 within Virtual Windows XP on my Win7 box. But this isn't ideal because the video playback on Virtual Windows XP is very stuttery. So I'd still love to find a way to install WMP9 along side WMP11 on...

Hi there, I have an XP system which has Windows Media Player 11 installed. I'd like to install WMP 9 side-by-side with WMP11. Is there any way to do this? I've tried downloading WMP9 from Microsoft but the installer complains that a more recent version of WMP is already installed and the...

ok cool, thanks for the info - I'll give it a go on a quiet day

Cool, thanks for the advice. To be honest, I think I will just stick with having an old PC running XP running which can pull data over the GigE network. My main PC is used for video editing so I'm keen to keep is as clean as possible in terms of the number of installed apps. Thanks loads for...

Sounds interesting. Will the instance of XP running on VMWare Server be able to access SCSI card on my PCI bus? Win7's "XP Mode" (i.e. running XP in Microsoft's VM) can't talk to the PCI bus.

Many thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately the "Windows Backup - Restore Utility" doesn't work on Windows 7 because Win7 doesn't have the "Removable Storage Management" feature. And unfortunately I'm pretty skint! I got my LTO2 drive for £250 from that yellow auction site and I get my...

Thanks for the info. I think I'm leaning towards a 3rd option: I have a Linux box which I use for web development which is attached to my main PC via gigabit Ethernet. Perhaps I should stick my LTO2 drive into my Linux box and backup over the network. Does anyone know if Linux will be able to...

Hi there, I have upgraded from Win XP to Win 7 Pro and so far I'm enjoying Win 7. However, one major gripe so far is that I can't access my LTO2 tapes from Win 7 because the Win 7 backup utility doesn't seem to talk to my LTO2 drive (I have installed the drivers for the LTO drive and SCSI...

Hi there, I have been using Outlook 2003 for several years without too many problems. I recently installed a collection of "MS Office 2003" updates from MS. Since installing these updates, Outlook now refuses to load beyond the splash screen. In other words, Outlook starts up as per normal...

Some more quote from around the web: From xtreview.com - INTEL TECHNOLOGY MATRIX RAID AND PORT MULTIPLIER: From HardwareZone's review of the MSI P35 Platinum (Intel P35) motherboard As far as I can tell, the MSI P35 board has 4 on-board SATA connectors. I read somewhere that the ICH9R has...

I've tried running the Silicon Image 4276 Manager and it didn't work. So I used the Firmware updater for the Silicon Image 3726 to try to find out some details of my port multiplier. Here are the details: C:\>3726FwDownload.exe -i -d0 SiI3726 Firmware Downloader version 1.3 SiI3726...

Unfortunately I don't have any other ICH-based systems to try it on, sorry. I have found a "configuration manager" on Silicon Image's website - I'll try downloading that later and see if I can get it to configure my port multiplier!

It's unbranded. Here's a photo from the supplier: It looks like a single chip does all the work. Unfortunately, the chip has a big heatsink glued onto it so I can't see what chip it is. The only documentation included with the device was a 6-page PDF on a miniCDROM. This PDF is so...

True. But unfortunately I don't have any PCI-E or PCI expansion slots left on my mobo. And I'm not going to buy a new mobo for a little while. To be honest, if I had the expansion slots then I'd probably spend a few hundred quid on a decent RAID5 card. But, still, the fact remains that I...

What I want to do: I have a P35-based motherboard with an ICH9R south bridge. I would like to connect 8 SATA disks to the ICH9R so I can use Intel Matrix Storage to build an 8-disk RAID10 array. The ICH9R has 6 ports. I planned to use a port multiplier to put 3 SATA disks onto a single ICH9R...

Many thanks for the reply. FAT32 is certainly very limiting with its maximum file size of 4GB. I've done a little bit of reading which seems to suggest that NTFS-3G is a stable, safe, fast and free way to read and write to NTFS volumes from Mac OS X (or Linux). Has anyone had any experience...
