That's bull. When you take into consideration how prevalent Sony batteries are (not just used in VAIO notebooks, but sold to other PC vendors as well), the number of batteries recalled by Sony was proportionally FAR smaller than this. Compare this to Coby. I have never actually seen a person using a Coby boombox in real life.]]>Apr 25th 2007 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/
I'd also hear "But they're not LOUD ENOUGH!," typically from that guy who blasts hip-hop through his headphones for the whole train/bus to hear.

Face it, regardless of whatever pretend "niche" Coby fills or attempts to fill - it's utter crap that isn't worth spending a penny slug on. I'd rather fight a crocodile than wear a Coby product on my body.]]>Apr 25th 2007 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/Apr 25th 2007 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/
I'd be happier WITH the dollar.

Panaphonics and Magnetbox are crap. If you really like to watch your Television and I mean really, you have to go with the Carnevalé. ]]>Apr 25th 2007 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/Apr 25th 2007 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/coby-recalls-boomboxes-due-to-potential-fire-hazard-crappiness/Apr 25th 2007 12:40PM
