Gooman, you've posted three times slamming this camera, do you work for Sony or Canon or something? Your piece of crap jazz only records at 720p, so does not output at "1080i."

Looking at videos, they look about as good as a Flip Mino HD, which is a low end HD camera. Your comparison of a crap walmart camera to a higher end true HD camera is just silly, no matter what the brand.
I agree. Why is there so much hate in this post? A company makes a simple mp3 player that's cheap and doesn't look like poo and it gets ripped. Pretty unfair.
Ok, where exactly is the download link for this? I looked all over the website and could not find a link to download?
Are any of the 25,000 songs worth PLAYING AT ALL? If not, who cares how many are made if they are crap?
This didn't look too exciting at first, but I looked into it further and luckily, you'll be able to put the lyrics in the id3 tags for the mp3's that you have - which increases the number of songs by 1000 if you can get your id3 tags in order. We're already working on getting all the weezer and radiohead mp3's we have tagged with lyrics.
Right now, none of the zune social is syncing back to your PC showing which songs you played and how many times they were played. Making the whole "social" absolutely pointless. Hopefully this update includes fixes for that.
Compare this to Android: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/23/radical-openness-on-the-google-phone-at-least-for-now/

Google has the cash to battle Apple, and as more phones begin to run Android, it's only a matter of time before people wake up to the draconian actions of Apple and move on.

'“Our ground rules are very simple,” he said. “The application developer has to verify they are who they are. They have to certify the application does what it does. And they have to inform the user what the application does.”

What about a voice-over-Internet-Protocol application like Skype that would let a G1 user bypass T-Mobile’s network? That’s fine, he said.

“The device is already sold with a voice and data plan, so you can connect through T-Mobile anywhere in the world,” he explained. “So we think we have already solved the hard part. If someone wants to write a voice-over-IP application that will allow additional ways to connect, that is something the platform will allow.”

And what about some video application that might use a lot of wireless bandwidth? There Mr. Brodman offered an asterisk.

“Today, we are not imposing bandwidth rules on the applications,” he said. “In the future, we will have to look at how to efficiently use network bandwidth.” He suggested that the carrier may impose restrictions or ask for payments from applications that use a lot of bandwidth and also make money, like from advertising.'
what video?
Hahahaha, I thought I heard something like that and was wondering if that's what someone really said. That's hilarious.
Various sites report $150 with contract pre-order sales and 200$ ($250?) after the pre-order.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
