GM dropping Volt's range from 600 to 360 miles {Engadget}
Jul 9th 2008 9:55AM My car gets about 450 to 500 miles per tank (camry hybrid, 15 gallon tank).
As for my opinion on the tank issue, while I agree the cutting of 70 pounds may help efficiency a little, I disagree with you 2 tanks which would equate to one of the larger tanks. Gas prices fluctuate wildly, so your $25 fillup today, could cost you up to $30 or more the next time you fillup in a week or 2. I would rather just dump as much gas into the vehicle where a nice middle ground was found for weight vs efficiency.
Of course, this goes either way, gas drops in price, you just filled up your tank for the next couple of weeks for more then it would have cost to fill it up twice...
Its a gamble.. make it an option, give people the choice...

iPhone SDK agreement forbids real-time route guidance, dancing, rock'n'roll {Engadget}

I am guessing option number 3 would be ATT's request.
Most likely its Apple lawyers covering their ass, although there are worse things then live guidance... say texting on a phone with no keyboard while driving....

If your argue with CS.. your on your own and pretty much screwed, if you move to an area without coverage by ATT, you are let out of your contract with no ETF

Rumor: Sony Ericsson to buy HTC. HTC: nope, it's untrue. {Engadget}
Jun 2nd 2008 1:55PM Also, there is no reason that HTC would want to sell. They are well into the black when it comes to profits, the only time companies position themselves for a buyout, is when they are losing money or are about to start losing money for some reasons....
That of course would not rule out a hostile takeover though...

Jun 2nd 2008 1:54PM Gee, because MS has never screwed up anything..... I would be more afraid of a software developer buying a hardware ODM then I would be if Sony bought one. HTC, while they do make a good number of MS Mobile devices, are technically OS/Software agnostic, and they will make anything for whomever foots the bill.
Garmin Nuvifone hitting AT&T for $500 plus? {Engadget}
May 1st 2008 10:34AM I suspect the $20 charge for Data and Navigation is misleading. I am guessing the GPS will work just fine on its own, but there will be value added services, and those are what you will be paying for. TomTom on the pocket pc is the same, the GPS on my tilt works just fine, but for traffic and other added services, there is a monthly service fee. Having ATT (or whatever provider they chose if they get on board with another one further down the line) add that service charge in with the data, means the user does not have to deal with billing from different companies.

May 1st 2008 10:30AM Pick up an Edge 705/605 instead.. depending on the type of cycling, you may end up destroying your phone... While sure, its not cheap, but it does offer far more functionality for sports then a garmin phone would.
Electric Motion Systems E+ electric bike: $3,495 for two wheels {Engadget}

And the e bike will not be permitted on any bike trails (paved or not) in most of the North East (well maybe not all of it, but Certainly MD/VA/DC Metro area where it would be most suited).
There is no distinction between the e bike, and any other power vehicle, all of which are banned from the trails in the areas.
