    The hp site shows that the dual core hp dv1000t ships with quickplay 2.0, which improves on the prior version of quickplay by allowing users to access pictures as well as the pre-existing media options. As stated by engadget's jan 5th news post (the link doesn't work for some reason):

    "An optional, integrated web-cam is now available in the venerable DV1000, which appears to have a new DV1000t designation. HP also includes an update to their QuickPlay (v2.0) technology so you can view or listen to media or check your pics without a full system boot. Pricing on the budget line starts at $749, but those nice HP peeps are offering a $50 rebate."

    Questions:
    1. Does "check your pics" refer to pictures stored in the hard drive, portable media devices such as flashdrives/SD cards, or both?
    2. Is the dv1000t the only model to benefit from this update? Or will users of other pavilion models (dv1000, 4000 and 5000z) get to see an update on the HP website?

    Perhaps owners of the aforementioned 3 pavilions who got their laptops in 2006 can share on their quickplay's functionality?
