Introducing Engadget Mobile

Yeah, we know Engadget's been a little heavy on the cellphone news lately. The number of new phones being announced has grown exponentially over the past couple of years, something which has made it difficult to satisfy those readers who think there is way too much cellphone news on the site, as well as those who are perplexed (and sometimes upset) when we skip over a handset announcement or some other tidbits. So rather than try and split the difference and make increasingly difficult decisions about what news we should cover and what we shouldn't, I'm proud to announce the launch of Engadget Mobile, a new spin-off site with obsessive daily coverage of the world of cellphones and wireless.

Engadget will still continue to hit all the major cellphone news (there will be some overlap in posts), but Engadget Mobile will be able to offer a depth and breadth of coverage that simply isn't possible on the main site. That means more handset reviews, product announcements, and industry news and gossip, as well as coverage of topics that we've never tackled very well on the main site like mobile software, wireless gaming, moblogging, and ringtones.

We figured this was a very good week to get things going, and so to welcome Engadget Mobile to the family we're going a little overboard and giving away a cellphone a day for the next 30 days. This week we're offering winners their choice of a Treo 650 or a Treo 700w, check out the site for full details on how to win.

P.S. - Yes, both Engadget and Engadget Mobile will be getting cellphone/PDA-friendly mobile versions. We're working on it!
