Toshiba launches 32GB embedded NAND for PMPs and handsets

Woohoo no more swapping around and subsequently lost 2 to 4G SD cards

Canon wins SED lawsuit, can produce SED displays again

Go on Canon you tell 'em "THAT'S WHAT I SED" - and you will feel much better.

Ridax first company to overprice iPhone 3G charging adapter

It's hardly surprising:

Apple = overpriced

Dont get me wrong - nice products and all, but as soon as you take the path of proprietary based peripherals you are certainly looking to corner the market. Which they have done with precision and grace - (all the while fleecing the customers along the way)

$10 Indian laptop to actually cost $100, anyone surprised?

I wager a mere 12408.8 (rupees) will be slapped on the side of that puppy (not including postage and handling)

Nintendo actually not resting on its laurels, already working on the Wii's successor

This is Nintendo we are talking about. They thrive on the concept of "exclusivity". We will only produce what it ordered. Did no one ever try to get all of the games for the Nintendo 64 or the Game cube. Don't get me wrong I am an avid fan but when back order times start to shoot out to a couple of months and you have kicked your mates butts so much that they don't like you any more you start to look for something else.

It could always be called the "Wii - Nii"
with a foot print only half the size, with half the power but integrating an entirely new mind control feature.
It would support all Big N formats and be half the price of it's competitors
Oh and who needs HD when there are perfectly good 60Hz telly's still floating around

NES Belt Buckle: most inelegant, awesome NES-in-a-whatever mod out there

oops after thought, likely his dreams didn't come true and he didn't land the hot sales girl and was laughed out of the complex by the other girls doing there shopping

Thats what you get for not watching the entire clip before commenting

It would help if he was just a smidgen better at Mario

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
