Sure NVIDIA’s Ion 2 is all the rage right now, but ASUS still has a few tricks left in store for the progenitor nettop GPU. The EeeBox EB1501U sports a typical nettop processor — in this case, the older Diamondville Intel Atom 330 dual core — with Ion One, and as an added bonus, there’s USB 3.0 support. Also under the hood? A 2.5-inch, 320GB HDD, DVD drive, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi. As for the other home theater PC box, the EeeMedia EM0501 isn’t quite as exciting — just a 800MHz Samsung ARM processor, a variety of codec supports, and HDMI out. Still, given history, it’s a pretty solid addition. Pricing and availability? Your guess is as good as ours for now. Enjoy the pictures for the time being.

Yeah, that’s right, we’re six years old this week. Thanks for noticing, jerks! Actually, we forgot too (it was Tuesday), and to make up for it we’re giving away a Motorola Droid, courtesy of Verizon Wireless! The phone was recently selected as the Gadget of the Year both by you, our illustrious readers, and by this rapidly-aging Engadget staff you hold so dear, so we didn’t think you’d mind. But that’s not all — the winner of the Droid and 10 lucky runner-ups will also receive one of our fancy new Engadget t-shirts! All you have to do is leave a comment to tell us how much you care (about us, not the environment) and you’ll be entered to win. The full instructions and typical rules can be found after the break. Good luck!

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/gadgets/iriver_introduces_D1000_e_dictionary_for_Korea_Engadget’;
So-called “e-dictionaries” don’t often make the trip over here, but iriver broke that trend with its
D5 clamshell device, which suggests that it just might also do the same with its new D1000 follow-up. Of course, like its predecessor, this device is quite a bit more than just a dictionary, with it packing a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 touch screen, 8GB or 16GB of storage, built-in WiFi, a DMB TV tuner, 720p video output, and a full range of media player features. Happen to live in Korea or planning a trip sometime soon? Then you can pick this one up right now for between 349,000 and 409,000 Korean won depending on the model and capacity, or roughly between $300 and $360.

Head on past the break for a few more exciting images, and hit up the link below for the complete rundown, FCC style.
