Good point Jeff. I have to admit that I hadn't actually heard of these before, and I've been an Engadget reader for a while. Either way, it's silly to take this kind of attitude about the NYT; they are going out of their way to highlight some cool and interesting technology that undoubtedly a large percentage of the people who read their business section probably don't know about. Just because it's been around for a while doesn't mean that the NYT should forego doing a story about it now. And I'd give the NYT credit for not just covering it, but actually including a sidebar story with instructions on trying the software out with your own cellphone, etc.
