Maybe for you yanks it is! Mass Effect2 aint out till Friday for us Brits! *Shakes fist in an old man at young whipper snapper sort of way*]]>Jan 26th 2010 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/
I'm playing it RIGHT now and it's nothing short of glorious.

On a side note that review on Joystiq is so horrible it's not even funny. Yes the game is amazing but seriously anyone could have written that verbage that Justin McElroy threw up there.

Thank God for other review sites. Simply saying ME2 is better than ME1 because of ammo, combat system change, and armor changes isn't a decent review.]]>Jan 26th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/

And the big announcement is......A 25" iMac! We here at Apple believe that this will change the nature of computing forever and to make this an utter surprise, devoted an entire department for the past 3 years to sow the seeds of ideas that we were making a large iphone. take that internet!]]>Jan 26th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/
"@onlymyrailgun If this thing is a glrofied 10" ipod touch I will hate steve jobs forever. Please Please Please let it run OSX software.. The apple app store will murder the potential of a tablet device."

I agree with you that a closed ecosystem is shitty, but I think that simply putting Leopard on a 10" touchscreen would be a huge helping of fail. There's a reason the ModBook doesn't sell well, and it's because very few people want/need something like that.

In this form factor, most people want an excellent e-reader with excellent battery life, and full iPod features. Throw in a kickstand, nice dock accessories, and an attachable QWERTY keyboard, and it's certainly something most people would be interested in, if the price is right.]]>Jan 26th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/
The name will be iPAD...

So Now You Know]]>Jan 26th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/Sorry to break your bubble but this thing is going to run on the iPhone OS. Apple is planning a whole line of new touch computers running on the iPhone OS, it will be improved and expanded and may be renamed at some point to Touch OS or something like that. The concept of a new computer device without folders and windows and complex command structures has been Steve Jobs dream. This is a computer for the masses and the geeks will not like it at first. It is designed to sell media and apps from iTunes and make money for Apple. It will not be a geek box and will not have CTRL+V and CTRL+C commands. It will be easy enough to use for a Toddler to run and powerful enough for a Doctor to use in his practice. You will see a whole line of these touch devices all running this same OS. They will not be open to outside software or content except what you can run in a browser.]]>Jan 26th 2010 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-rumor-roundup-the-day-before-edition/

Yes, at its core the iPAD's OS will be little more than the same old iPhone/Touch OS version 4.0, but this time they will rename it Apple Mobile OS 4.0 to make it less tied into the iPhone.

also, i hope that the 3g is optional and suspect that the iphone will not be discussed at all. all this 'no more just ATT' that is going to be announced is merely an unlocked, dual format device that you can take on ATT, T-Mobile or Verizon, Sprint as you wish.

If it's just an iPod Touch with a 10" screen, then it's a pass.

As for the rumors for themselves....

I'll be SHOCKED if the iPhone is even mentioned beyond OS 4.0.

I really don't see it going to another company tomorrow. That would completely overshadow the iSlate....

That means that there is ALWAYS going to be a small percentage (or in the case of these articles, roughly a third of all commenters) who, unlike those OTHER, FAIRWEATHER fans, truly believe they will achieve physical, spiritual and sexual enlightenment by purchasing at least one of every holy object that the Prophet Jobs - in his wisdom - chooses to bestow upon this unworthy earth.
