By wrapping everything (sans sink) with a touchscreen, smart industrial design, and some luscious Vista Premium software, the kids from Palo Alto have cooked themselves a winner.Engadget provides more Crossfire details. en Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:59:44 GMT Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:59:44 GMT Rev9 Re: HP Crossfire brings Vista to the kitchen posted by Barry Hawkey

'IQ770' sounds more like someone reading part of a product SKU to me, whereas Crossfire is a more human term.

Hence, why keep the non-human terms alive?

I mean, didn't you make up a new html markup command to imply the name was dorky?  Wouldn't only dorks GET that?  Smiley  Sheesh! Smiley

Both these devices were great innovations - the Jornada for its varied attachments (I still use my 560 for Tom Tom satnav) - and I still smile happily when the TC1100 shows up on 24. A great shame HP stopped developing both of them.

The Crossfire looks like another interesting product. I look forward to seeing it in the UK. Keep it up HP we want more.

With such puny screen res/size they may have done better adding magnets on the back and making it a fridge door mount.

It seems like more of a toy than serious attempt at a VIsta box.
