Engadget Mobile turns two!

It's hard to think back to a time when Peter and I longed to do our very own cellphone-centric Engadget spinoff -- those were the days that a 1GB microSD card was pretty impressive, HTC phones were frequently EDGE-only (the more things change...), and Ballmer was predicting $100 smartphones were still a year or two out. But exactly two years ago today we also finally launched Engadget Mobile, and it's been a crazy amount of fun watching it grow into its own as the go-to place for handset news ever since. Much love to Chris, Sean, and the rest of our regular EngMob contributors -- and, of course, the cellphone fanatics that keep coming back to feed their sick, wireless addiction.

This was a triumph.

[mushrooshi @ Feb 13th 2008 9:32PM]

Im making a note here, Huge Success.

[Josh @ Feb 14th 2008 1:04AM]

Its hard to overstate my satisfaction

(Have i gone to far?)

[Nostromo @ Feb 13th 2008 8:10AM]

Happy Birthday!

I hope you know: The Cake is a lie.

[Dr. Evil @ Feb 13th 2008 12:10PM]

[Ellianth @ Feb 13th 2008 12:58PM]

GLaDOS will not be amused [that you tole her cake]

[3boos @ Feb 13th 2008 8:13AM]

Congratulations, but why it is only one candle ;)

[MARSHAK @ Feb 13th 2008 9:55AM]

because the cake is a lie.

[tf @ Feb 13th 2008 8:17AM]

only 16 more years!

[Danny Griffin @ Feb 13th 2008 8:20AM]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! and I love the picture!

[Danny Griffin @ Feb 13th 2008 8:21AM]

And btw, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.

[AdamY @ Feb 13th 2008 8:25AM]

This is a triumph!

[Adam @ Feb 13th 2008 10:05AM]

I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!

[ogvor @ Feb 13th 2008 10:11AM]

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction

[MARSHAK @ Feb 13th 2008 11:22AM]

aperture science: we do what we must because we can

[mushrooshi @ Feb 13th 2008 9:33PM]

...for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead, because theres no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying till you run outta cake...

[lectoid @ Feb 13th 2008 8:26AM]

Can someone explain to me why almost every article I see on engadget mobile is also on engadget?

[CB17 @ Feb 13th 2008 8:54AM]

Ya 4 realz...I second that...

[Ryan Trevisol @ Feb 13th 2008 9:20AM]

Maybe now with the 2nd birfday, they can get their own coverage. You know, like the MWC.

[Ari @ Feb 13th 2008 9:53AM]

on a week like MWC the cellphone news is the news so its on both pages, but usually not essential mobile news is not on the main engadget

[Eric @ Feb 13th 2008 11:56AM]

I also want to point that out too! great stuff but keep 'em separate or find more stories.

[oshean @ Feb 13th 2008 8:29AM]

Huge Success!

[Andrew K. @ Feb 13th 2008 8:30AM]

Happy B-day

[Wii60 @ Feb 13th 2008 8:31AM]

So, the killers of the Wireless report celebrate one more year?

Your uppance will come, you hear me? Your uppance will come.

[Reader @ Feb 13th 2008 8:43AM]

Gasp, does that mean it's illegal to look at it?

[Alijah @ Feb 13th 2008 9:34AM]

Excuse me, I resent you referring to my wireless addiction as anything but beautiful.

[Rik @ Feb 13th 2008 9:55AM]

Congrats!

Now go and link up comment threads of EG and EGM, because seeing nobody comment in EGM threads when a EG thread also exists is a sad thing.

[Paul @ Feb 13th 2008 11:22AM]

Seconded. Case in point--the 2 year birthday post has 22 (now 23) posts on Engadged and 4 on Engadget Mobile. 'Tis okay to cross post (though I do often wonder whether EM could just have been a filter on Engadget), but it really is bad when no one posts on EM since they are assured no one will read it (opting instead for the Engadget version of the forum).

Anyway, happy birthday!

[George McFly @ Feb 13th 2008 1:33PM]

I agree with you guys. Hardly anyone ever comments on the mobile site. I still visit it "just for the news" but it seems hardly anyone visits the mobile site.

[Ryan Block @ Feb 13th 2008 1:53PM]

It's not necessarily indicative of anything but audience size. Engadget classic is on any given day 10-20x the traffic.

[Rik @ Feb 13th 2008 4:45PM]

Well that doesn't suprise me, but wouldn't that be in part because of this situation? I know I first came to EGM and then moved to EG because then there were more comments. Who came first, the chicken or the egg? ;-).

Besides, for searching through-old-post reasons, isn't it just plain unhandy to have two different comment threads on the same subject.

I know that sometimes and EGM tread has more info, but that still does not stand in the way of merging the comments.

[Jeff @ Feb 13th 2008 11:07AM]

It's my birthday today too, turning 15!

[Timerider @ Feb 13th 2008 11:14AM]

I hope your cake isn't a lie.

[Gorillamonk @ Feb 13th 2008 11:21AM]

Congrats

[Gorillamonk @ Feb 13th 2008 11:24AM]

who's house are we throwing the party at?

[Ireland @ Feb 13th 2008 11:48AM]

I always read that logo as: Engadget iMobile

[Abuzar @ Feb 13th 2008 6:03PM]

Yeah whenever I read it it comes out Engadget iMobile lol.

[Ed @ Feb 13th 2008 11:52AM]

Out of curiosity, does EM have a mobile version of their site? It would seem fitting but I can't figure out how to google for it.

[Ryan Trevisol @ Feb 13th 2008 1:33PM]

mobile.engadgetmobile.com but like all the mobile versions, it seems to come and go.

[Ryan Block @ Feb 13th 2008 1:54PM]

Add m. in front -- http://m.engadgetmobile.com/, http://m.engadgethd.com/ ...

[William Mills @ Feb 13th 2008 11:56AM]

Happy Birthday!!!!

[Bryan @ Feb 13th 2008 12:14PM]

Contrats, indeed. You are the best place to go to for all things cellular!!! Thanks for all of your efforts!

[Chris @ Feb 13th 2008 12:36PM]

Happy Birthday!

But I must warn you to be careful I think the cake is a lie. But if it isn't then you better watch out since they told me I would be baked and then there would be cake I hope you weren't baked.

Happy Birthday Engadget!!!

[keithwwalker @ Feb 13th 2008 8:30PM]

Least you could do is cross link and share comments from identical stories on both engadget and engadget mobile...
