Canon's 12-megapixel SD950 IS review roundup

Oct 1st 2007 9:19PM on Engadget

Following the link to the reviews, it appears about $450 is the typical price.

Sony's Rolly speakerbot on video

What a colossal waste of resources. Why in the hell would anyone pay $350(ish) for a 1GB music player with a stupid gimmick like this.

Utterly pointless.

The only way I would ever be caught with one of these is if it was a gift, and I couldn't return it. I would be to embarrassed to list it on eBay.

Some of us don't have Comcast in our area. (I am a Charter customer).

I just ordered mine and just went with the standard shipping. I was told that they won't be shipping until (hopefully) Thursday, anyway.

Was anyone else told this (or that they would ship today)? I called earlier and was told that they were ready to ship today, so I am wondering if they were mistaken, or if I just missed out by waiting for 2 hours before I placed my order...

For those who got overnight shipping - what was the cost? They won't tell me until I am about to confirm the order.

TiVo Series3 price confirmed: $800

Programmable from a cell phone?? That's news to me.

Series 3 to be released September 17th, for $799?

Aug 28th 2006 11:38AM on Engadget HD

Personally, I will be first in line to pick one up at a price of $799. If they discount it somewhat, that is just more money to pay for the service fees down the road.

I currently own a first-gen (non-nightlight) Series 2, along with a Sony DHG-HDD250 HD-DVR. It is really one of the ONLY competitors to this TiVo product. I have had the Sony for about 10 months, and to be honest, I can see why it has already been discontinued. It also has a cablecard slot, but just one tuner. The guide is provided by Gemstar (TV Guide On Screen). The guide is frustratingly unreliable, as the PBS station in my area has a difficult time keeping their data broadcast equipment online.

When the guide on the Sony stops working, it becomes a glorified VCR that you can't set the time on manually! Don't get me wrong - when it works it works pretty well. When it locks up while you fast forward or rewind a program, it just irriates me.

I would love to have the reliable TiVo guide for an HD recorder

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
