We've got iPhones, what do you want to know? {Engadget}
Jun 30th 2007 3:00AM I really wonder about the durability, it being glass and all. I know no one wants to drop one of these, but do you think that a larger person could crack the screen in their pocket, or how the screen might break(fracture, shatter, crack, etc.), and lastly will the touchscreen become useless if you crack or break the screen?
I am sure there are people out there prone to dropping phones, like me, who would like to know. Thanks.
Pioneer's BDC-2202 $300 Blu-ray drive heads for the States {Engadget}
May 2nd 2007 2:34PM This is not really that big a deal, I mean it is a 300 dollar drive, that only reads. So you will need some expensive other equipment (HDCP video card and the processing power to deal with HD video) in order to make this drive into a viable BD player. So for most of us without a monster machine HTPC to put this into I went to the store and picked up a HD DVD player for a similar price ($100 more back then) that does everything I need (1080i, HDMI, Analog Audio Out, etc.). For the average consumer this will make very little difference because they won't have a comp to put it in and will end up buying a standalone for a bit more, however for the hardcore HTPC dudes, they might be very happy.
28-percent of Americans now own an HDTV {Engadget HD}
Apr 13th 2007 2:38PM Yeah 28% of TV households have a HDTV, a more interesting stat would be how many have actual HD content for this HDTV. My guess would be stupidly low, I love the idea of blowing $1,500 on a big HDTV only to watch 480i over composite (not even full 480i), I have seen this with my own eyes.

PS3 outsells the HD DVD add-on 5 to 1 {Engadget HD}
Dec 15th 2006 12:46PM This seems very fishy to me. Considering MSFT has not released any sales numbers, this could be a prime target of sampling error. Everyone knows that 100% of PS3's were sold, this is just how it is. However to determine how many HD DVD add-ons were sold the company would have to go to retailers and ask. And depending on how they do this, there could very well be error. Just there are a lot of add-ons out there, and if they are sampling stores to see how the sales are doing, then they ask 1 store how many add-ons they have sold, and they sold say 10. But this sells them out, then this 10 is extrapolated to all other stores, but what about the stores that sold 25 or more. I just would like to see how they determined these numbers before I even start determining if this means anything.
Also the attach rates for the movies is really what matters. If no PS3 owners are buying BD movies, then who cares there are a more PS3's on the street, because movies in homes is what is going to win the war.
All three Lord of the Rings films airing in HD on TNT {Engadget HD}
Dec 7th 2006 2:28PM Well all I know is I will wait for the HD DVD because the HD on TNT looks like trash. I mean sometimes I think the TNT "HD" is worse than a good SD channel. So maybe I will turn it on, but I doubt it.
