I agree with you, I have trouble believing a Windows Mobile HTC-built phone will have a long battery life.
Let's wait and see
Hot Sonos ZP120 on ZP100 action spied {Engadget}
May 26th 2008 12:44PM Yeah, man!
That is exactly what I usually say about my overpriced car.
A few wheels round there, a few aluminum tubes round here, glass, glue, and I've got my car on the cheap
I even have furniture at home that I should habe built myself with bits and pieces
But going for the real deal here, I don't see the real improvement on a "n" based mesh netowrk whose only reason to exist is build the Sonos-use-only network. I am sure it has to be anything else under the hood. Ok, that somebodie's house is so big that it has huge distances between rooms, but most of us don't. Furthermore, for a device for music only (lossless or not), current bandwidth is more than enough.
At least my setup works just fine...
Xbox 360 to get a smaller case revision in 2009? {Engadget}
May 13th 2008 7:21PM Yeah, baby, you will be fine failing to update Gran Turismo 5 Prologue after an eternal download, and you shall be playing all of your imaginary friends online
Anyway, this affair with XBOX 360 is crying shame, how could all of this manufacturing negligence or design incompetence could possibly ever take place with such a fine online gaming experience and to frack us, a great community of gamers?
All of this sucks...
Bring back Fighter Ace (on MSN Gaming Zone, of course) and Tie Fighter, I can't stand the pain
Sony introduces BRAVIA V4500 LCD HDTVs in Europe {Engadget}
May 5th 2008 12:39PM Sony in Europe has many series, and we are starting to get really annoyed.
We have de S, P, D, M, V, W, X.... 3000, 3500, 4000, stock in small and department stores is ridiculously high.
They upgrade them every 6 to 12 months, prices are cheaper with every new one with better specs, and retail channel does not change prices of old sets because they really bought them at that price. So there is no way a small store is going to lose money on Sony for free. And people gets confused at the store, and will be probably buying an old set for a high price.
They should ditch some letters.
There is huge ovelap in specs between series and quite frankly, how much is going to be this V? 37" 1.200 EURO?
You get a 40" W for 1.500 with the frackin' Full HD or even a Samsung M 40" for less than 1.000 EURO
Furthermore, this V is exactly the same external design that the W without the silver?
This guys are starting to look like Apple...
The commercial team of LCD TV at Sony should be fired or executed in a public square, they are annoying their own sales with absurd millimetric segmentation and making their own marketing/production costs higher.
Microsoft turns the DRM screw on MSN Music owners {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2008 2:02PM You are seriously right.. no question about that
But I am too, so:
The music industry and their players are hurting consumers, sure? is it a question about their rights against ours? I am not sure about that...
Are they getting it right?, NO NO NO (frakin' Amy Winehouse)
The thing is that almost everybody new that when you "BUY" a song you get a digital file with a DRM protection to limit usage. They don not tell you that in explicit way?, also true
So my recomendation to all customers really annoyed about these newly discovered usage limitations:
Always buy a CD first, rip it at best quality, and store your CD wherever you like close to that old Hi-Fi equipment of yours
If you are anxious to listen to a song, and can't go to the nearest store to buy the CD, or you don't like to buy the whole album because you always like buying singles on the cheap, go to "standard procedure" iTunes, Napster, or whatever and buy it, download it, burn an audio CD and rip it back. Best place to try first, if you live in the States, AMAZON so you can live without the down-burn-rip process for a while.
If you are a music lover, and like to listen to music anytime without the need of buying it, and from time to time you go to a store to buy some CD's, apart form acting like described above, subscribe to a stream-all-u-can eat service. This will be for you the safest way to enjoy that music you suddenly like and discovering new one without buying a CD or listening to broadcast radio. Best choice Rhapsody, hands down, if you are on a low budget, LAST.FM will do.
If you don't like CD's, you don't like DRMed files, you don't like to pay for things that give you pleasure, you are mostly lazy, but you really like whining, ok then, write a blog about this and tell us how you feel. Still, you will have the option of piracy, hey, you don't pay, you don't have usage restrictions and you now you can't complain about it
Who said things were easy?
Xbox Live up and running, but still having "difficulties" {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2008 1:33PM Give us a frackin' break
The thing was down, sure. Monday downtime was previously announced to us, we felt bad for not being able to play, and blah blah blah, it is still giving some problems?, hey who cares. (me no have experienced them)
But those guys that really feel compelled to rant about it and comparing the evil MSFT does to us with that crappy XBOX Live to the greatness of PS· Netowrk (?!?!?!?) is delirious. Get a life...
Besides we can't play everyday-everytime, our finger articulations hurt and fingerprints have already vanished, These moments to rest from time to time make our loved ones feel alive and valuable
What I'm having trouble these days is remembering how to turn on my beautiful black device rusting near the TV... how was it called? Anyone can pdf-me a copy of the manual?
Anyone want to get beaten in Chinatown (a.k.a.Carentan) tonight? If so, please wait in line, I am already backordered
Microsoft turns the DRM screw on MSN Music owners {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2008 7:27AM For the record,
The word "OWNER" is inaccurate, as it stands today you own nothing, you only have limited rights of usage
So no MSN subscriber is deprived of any right he/she already had.
Microsoft turns the DRM screw on MSN Music owners {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2008 7:21AM I'm gettin' too ol' for this sh*t
I wonder who builds a music collection from a "lame" digital copy coming from a music service like iTunes or the rest. Not to speak about DRM joining the party of frack the consumer motto all these guy's have. Being the so called "Jobso" the first in line for that.
This industry is seriously ill
Sony S-AIR hands-on {Engadget HD}
Feb 26th 2008 5:18PM U talking Sonos?
2nd option.. Logitech's Duet or the Squeeze stuff
3rd... Roku's Soundbridge (I am not sure if it is Pinacle's nowadays)
Lame option Apple Airtunes (with Airport Express) and this Sony thing
If you have enough money to get the initial bundle right away, try Sonos. I am a Sony's backer, but I have tried previous DLNA options from them and they were really poor. I won't put money behind this one until I see a really advantage to SONOS
