"3 USB ports (1 powered)"

Wait, what? So the other 2 can only be used to run self-powered devices like printers? It would be a big fail if you couldn't even use a flashdrive or USB 3G modem in those other 2 slots without a self-powered USB hub.

"...the whole thing also promises to be funded entirely by micro-payments from the public (which would also determine its final size)."

It'll end up being a 1 meter statue outside the stadium.

Google to acquire Gizmo5, swing at Skype with VoIP-enabled Google Voice?

Nov 9th 2009 7:58PM on Engadget

I'm all for this but couldn't Google just enable SIP in Google Voice? They're probably already using it to interface with Gizmo.

@premvik He/she might be downloading the RC. Unlike Windows, installing the available Ubuntu release candidate and running an update later will update you to the final.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
