Unsubsidized iPhone 3G priced at €499/€569 in Europe {Engadget}
Jun 12th 2008 2:38AM Unsubsidized N95 8GB costs €549 - €610 in Finland (ie. Nokia Land). No info yet on the iPhone price (Finnish service providers don't usually charge for the handheld itself but wrap the costs inside the monthly service charges of a fixed-term contract, if one chooses to select one of those).
DVB-H to become European mobile video standard {Engadget}
Nov 29th 2007 10:37AM IIRC, DVB-H data rate is between 2-30 Mbps. 3G is under 512 kbps.
Dude, you're not getting a Dell: shipping delays hound PC maker {Engadget}
Aug 10th 2007 9:47AM We have also had problems with Latitude delays at our company, a colleague tried to order a bunch of D420s which, as it turned out, are on a very long wait list. We are now looking at a possibility of ordering D430s which are apparently more readily available (whatever that means). At least that will force the I.T. management to make the move to the D430 as a company standard faster.. ;)
Apple's new iMac and keyboard: first hands-on {Engadget}
Aug 7th 2007 4:00PM I believe the picture with the power key is of the wireless keyboard which doesn't have the USB ports on it.
Leopard dock resembles Sun's Project Looking Glass? {Engadget}
Jun 12th 2007 4:43PM I don't know if I'm alone with this, but in my opinion whoever invents something first doesn't account for much in the big picture. If the original creator fails to see the importance of his design or fails to properly utilize or merchandize it and someone else does so instead, all the more credit to the one who has the vision and acts accordingly. I mean, MP3 players existed way before Apple got into the market but we all know what happened when iPod was launched. Most inventions turn into commodities at some point anyway after which only the qualities of the product itself count, not who originally came up with it.
So, in the end, I don't really care about who came up with which GUI element or OS feature; it's the execution of these ideas that matters.
Apple spec bumps iMacs, minis, adds 24-inch iMac {Engadget}
Sep 6th 2006 11:27AM Steve,
The low-end 17" model is indeed targeted at the education market - it replaced the old eMac. Thus the trimmed features.
Laptop mag puts tech support through the torture test {Engadget}
Aug 16th 2006 9:30AM I use an iBook at home and have never actually called Apple for tech support; their support website and discussions have usually provided the answers. I have had the keyboard on the laptop changed a couple of times after some of the keys started to fade but it was done at the local Apple dealer from where I bought the iBook.
At work I have to deal with Dell and HP support (less with HP as we have only a couple of their laptops). Dell support is usually good - we have the Gold support plan plus 3 year NBD on-site service for our newer Dell laptops (Latitude D series). If I have isolated the problem they usually just send the replacement part (and someone to install it if needed) without any extra questions, and if we need to troubleshoot it's usually quite professional. No long waits on the phone, either.
Our older laptops in Latitude C series didn't have the business support plan so the calls routed to Estonia (our office is in Finland) which was sometimes a bit frustrating as we were speaking Finnish yet I wasn't always sure if the person on the other end was actually understanding all that I was saying. Longer wait times, too, although within reason.

SanDisk wants you to say iDon't to iPod {Engadget}
May 22nd 2006 2:37PM Nice publicity stunt - I don't believe I had even heard of SanDisk prior to this. Then again, I'm one of those happy-go-lucky chimps.
