The music was awesome. What's the name of the song?
@wastegate76

It's H.264 video with AAC audio, which is supposed to be supported in Android. Have you tried renaming it to .MP4?
The text in your own screenshot very, very clearly states that the price is 1 + 20 * 24 = 481 euro. No "sort of" or "technically" about it. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

You could "technically walk away with" any product you want for 0 euro, if you pay with a credit card and only count what you pay in cash.
What's the green LED at the top right for? It stays lit while the phone boots and then keeps blinking throughout the entire video.

Please tell me Ericsson haven't brought back their "All is well! All is well! All is well! All is well! All is well!" indicator. Or, if they have, that it can be easily disabled without loss in functionality.
They didn't rewrite 90 % of the code. What they said (in the WWDC keynote) was that there are changes in 90 % of the subsystems; some of them may have been completely rewritten, while others (probably the majority) received only minor fixes.
It looks like the SDK will only allow you to write applications in HTML and JavaScript, which doesn't sound particularly good for games. There is no way to actually take advantage of the platform's OpenGL support in applications, as far as I can tell.
Amusingly, Apple wouldn't need Visual Voicemail if they supported MMS like everyone else. My provider has an option to deliver every voicemail message as a regular MMS message, so they show up just like all other messages right in your inbox. Boom.
It might still work out for Swedish users. From a 2005 press release:

"Telenor and Vodafone have agreed the terms of a Partner Network Agreement in Sweden, allowing Telenor, Vodafone Sweden and Vodafone customers to benefit from Vodafone's global brand, products and services in Sweden."

Highly suspicious indeed. Just look at the "Contact" page on macmice.com and ukundakids.com. Almost identical. Of course, there's nothing wrong with the same people running and designing both sites ... but using stock photos and not naming the people behind the project hardly inspires confidence.
Hopefully, they'll use the Sigmatel 3600 chipset, which would bring us gapless and Vorbis: http://www.dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.2458

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
