Surprise! Apple to refresh iPod nano / touch, make tons of iPhones {Engadget}
Jun 29th 2008 1:55AM One thing you can bet money on is different color variations of the iPod Touch. BestBuy and other retailers are now stating the color of the iPod Touch on their labeling. I'm no analyst, but the only reason to state the color on labeling is to avoid any potential confusion.
As far as other updates to the iPod Touch line, I expect to see a bump in storage capacities to 16mb and 32mb. With the recent capacity changes and price drops with the iPhone, the iPod Touch needs to be percieved as a good value, and any major price drops will only cannibalize iPod Nano/Classic sales.
Again, I'm not an analyst, so take my comments with a grain of salt.
UPEK Eikon To Go RSA key comes with a built-in fingerprint reader {Engadget}
May 15th 2008 9:24AM That's why you enroll all of your fingers. The UPEK reader on my laptop allows a total of 21 enrolled fingerprints, so I'd imagine this one allows the same.
2009 BMW X6 gets some preliminary EPA numbers {Autoblog}
Apr 21st 2008 1:24PM This is a perfect example of a vehicle that is a great idea as a concept, but is impractable as a production vehicle.
Intel to debut Anti-Theft Technology to deter laptop theft {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2008 1:08PM LoJack for Laptops, AKA Computrace, does exactly what you describe and is available for PCs and Macs. Once you enable it in the BIOS, it cannot be disabled. If the computer is reported stolen, then whenever it connects to the Internet it will report it's location.
Dell's leaked Latitude E6000 and E5000-series of laptops pack GPS, DisplayPort, WWAN, UWB and much more {Engadget}
Mar 22nd 2008 3:42PM Hopefully they have come up with a new hinge design. My wife's D820 has loose hinges, and my D830 is starting to get loose as well. Other than that, these machines are excellent!
Up close with Dell's Latitude E4300 and E4200 ultra-portables with DisplayPort {Engadget}
Mar 21st 2008 12:09PM That's a great looking Dell, but I see a few potential issues with it. The first two are personal preference, and the thrid one may apply to others.
1. Dell was one of the few remaining companies that put ports on the back, but with these new laptops, it looks like they have done away with them.
2. The keys on the keyboard look to be completely flat. Their current Latitude's keys are slightly concave, and I think it gives the keyboard a better feel.
3. This last one isn't an issue for me, but I can see it being an issue for others. If you look at the close-up shot, you'll see that some of the keys show the standard and shift values right next to each other, instead of on top of each other. For example, the bracket key is shown as "[{", and could confuse people who haven't memorized their keys. Thankfully, this probably doesn't apply to most of us.
Hotswap laptop batteries let you keep the juice flowing {Engadget}
Feb 5th 2008 7:41AM Um, Dell STILL does this. If your Dell laptop has a D-bay (most of them do), you can purchase a battery to use in it. But, with as much as Dell gets for regular batteries, you're better off just hauling around the power adapter.
Saddam's yacht: the perfect holiday gift {Engadget}
Dec 22nd 2007 5:04PM So let me get this right... A yacht, that symbolizes a dictator's decades of ruthless rule, can now be purchased by just anyone with enough money? Exactly who owns this yacht, and who gets the 34 million? Shouldn't the yacht be destroyed instead? Something's just wrong here.
