Aug 10th 2008 6:05PM LG acquired all of Zenith in 1999. It's the same difference, basically.
Redesign giveaway: HTC's new Shift UMPC {Engadget}
Apr 10th 2008 8:12PM Well, Browsing Engadget is part of my day, but I'd use the Shift in the field for my fieldly needs. I mean come on, I need a bigger screen for Mobile Internet and I need to be the envy of my friends. :)

Mar 7th 2008 6:10PM Warm fuzzy of supporting the site mostly. They offer a few perks as well as an extra forum or two. Click the Premium button on the top of the page and it details these features.

Mar 7th 2008 5:52PM For 36 bucks you can get a premium sub on HoFo. Better deal than 120 a year for MobiTV I figure. For the first time ever, I put my 36$ into HoFo.

T-Mobile HotSpot users will get five years of Starbucks WiFi access after AT&T switchover {Engadget}
Feb 12th 2008 6:21PM The way that it sounds, Starbucks already dealt with AT&T for other things and wanted to use them for this too. I don't know what the previous deal with T-mobile was (length, costs, etc.). It's possible that Starbucks pulled the trigger early and this was the compromise.
T-mobile figured out a while ago that most people don't care/want to pay for their Hotspots service. They should consider buying Boingo Wireless or partnering with them instead of this nonsense.

Feb 12th 2008 6:13PM The 'hotspot ubiquity' is here for another 5 years, not really a big deal. Your Curve will probably be in the landfill by then.
Also, it switches over with no issue or fuss on my WiFi IN MY HOUSE too once I've added my network and password to the network list in the Curve.
Their UMA service is 9.99 for unlimited calling on ANY WiFi network and it can be used for FREE using your plan minutes. I don't see this 'dent' you speak of. It sounds more like you're being melodramatic.
You act like the only WiFi out there is in a Starbucks or a Borders. The Curve even seamlessly hands back to T-mobile's network once I drive out of my driveway (because my WiFi signal reaches all along my property line).
This is not a big deal. In 5 years they may renew or it may go away from Starbucks, but in the meantime nothings changing and most of us are using H@H in our work, home, campus or places other than a Starbucks, Borders, or Kinkos.

Feb 12th 2008 5:57PM Your Curve works on home WiFi, work WiFi, *AND* T-mobile Hotspots to make unlimited calls (with the 9.99 plan) or using your plan minutes (without the 9.99 plan). This isn't going to change and has nothing directly to do with the Hotspots service run by T-mobile to sell WiFi.
The UMA service works with ANY WiFi network, not JUST the Hotspots that T-mobile operates.
Garmin's pricey nuvi 850 shows up fashionably late {Engadget}
Jan 19th 2008 4:43PM Tomtom is #1 in the world as far as I know, not Garmin.
Tomtom has several features that Garmin doesn't. However, Teleatlas maps are better in the rest of the world than in North America. Tomtom really has to better about this market (with their acquisition of Teleatlas maybe they will). Featurewise, the Tomtom beats the Garmin units with things like Cellular Telematics, DeadRec, VoiceRecog, Mapshare, quickGPSFix, just to name a few.
I almost bought a unit back in December but thought maybe Garmin would come out with a true competitor. Unfortunately, their most expensive unit still doesn't offer the same features that the most expensive Tomtom offers (which is still hundreds less in cost).
