Nokia N79, N85 and N96 hands-on {Engadget}
Aug 26th 2008 5:40PM iPhone has several shortcomings compared with the N series (lack of MMS being the biggest in my opinion), everyone knows this, but though Symbian has a large app library, iPhone's screen size and interface trumps the Nokia N-series in my opinion. Two examples of this are Facebook functionality on the iPhone and Twinkle functionality (the Twitter app that natively supports geo-tagging and photo tagging/uploading). Agree or disagree, but people who claim iPhone is a not a smartphone (or is not a legitimate N series competitor) are simply ignorant of iPhone's capabilities or are Apple haters.

Aptera's 300 MPG car available for pre-order {Engadget}
May 9th 2008 12:17PM For those complaining about how unsafe it would be - read the website's FAQ.
"How safe is the Aptera? What about the body strength?
With safety being our top priority, we have raised our standard beyond the requirements of a typical passenger car. Nothing is normal or standard for the Aptera so why should we stick to "normal" safety standards? For example, the Typ-1 roof is designed to EXCEED rollover strength requirements spelled out in FMVSS(Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) 216 for passenger cars. The doors also far EXCEED mandated strength requirements for passenger cars as does our 45" frontal impact deflection and crumple zone. We decided not just to meet many of the requirements for passenger cars, but we chose to exceed them. Industry safety standards are very different for passenger cars and motorcycles; we are choosing to go well beyond the industry safety standard for passenger cars so Aptera drivers can feel safe in any driving situation. The Aptera's composite safety cage is similar to Formula-1 cars. Our "Eyes Forward" vision system allows for 180 degree rear sight. There is a display panel in the driver's field of view which enhances situational awareness allowing you to keep your eyes on the road. The over-sized LED turn indicators located on the rear and side of the vehicle are easy for other drivers to see, adding greatly to the night and day visibility of the Aptera. Unlike many 3-wheel vehicle designs that were abandoned in the 80's due to their instability the Aptera has two wheels in the front and a single rear wheel eliminating any tendency to roll-over. The Aptera also features traction control, a low center of gravity and a wide track width which makes for a very stable platform that increases cornering stability without sacrificing performance. "
For those complaining about the license plate:
"The rear center is designed for a back license plate. Since the Aptera is classified as an enclosed motorcycle a front plate is not required."
