Interead COOL-ER 3G e-reader announced, adds wireless to the mix

Dec 9th 2009 4:20PM on Engadget

@incogneato

I'm with you. I've got gigs of material that I need a good reader for. No battery-draining wireless required.

Engadget has obligations, of course, to hammer away for the most tech per product, but it doesn't mean that real people want it.

Pixel Qi ramping production lines, multitouch (40-hour?) tablets at CES

Lots of times in life I would gladly give up color for a bunch more hours of juice. Heck, I bet 85% of the time I don't use color on my netbook.

OSRAM Orbeos OLED lights are small, flat, right behind you

CFL color can be very good, actually. Sounds like you haven't used one in quite some time.

Lenovo ThinkPad W701 hints at Core i7 Extreme in FCC reveal

It's too bad the new Thinkpads are junk compared to the Tankpads of old. My tablet has been nothing but problems.

Qualcomm shows off Snapdragon-powered Lenovo smartbook for AT&T

Yes, I have a netbook. No, it is not instant-on, nor do I think Windows sleep mode is good enough.

It's a distinction that is hard to define, I admit, but I just wish my computers behaved like my smartphone. On when I want it, off when I want it. OS on ROM, not on disk. Snappy in every way, without having to rely on skating and clicking on a trackpad six times to check an email.

I know no one ever agrees with me on this, but I'd love a netbook with a mobile instant-on OS. I was even considering a Foleo!

Intel purportedly fast-tracking Pine Trail platform, forgetting all about N270 / N280 at CES

Nov 9th 2009 10:14AM on Engadget

"...but techies like us are sick and tired of dabbling with the same underpowered chips and the same lackluster capabilities."

I'm all for more grunt for my buck, but I'm not sure I ever really pushed the N280 to it's max.

Internet, email office documents... I just use it for the basics. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm a techie, too.

Michael Arrington's CrunchPad still not available, maybe never will be?

I personally do not see myself in the market for a netbook without a keyboard.

Are DVRs actually going to save the network TV model?

Nov 2nd 2009 5:34PM on Engadget

Heh, I don't even own a TV. I just download everything I need.

Well, except football.

Bridgestone announces flexible touchscreen color e-reader

Umm... okay. I was thinking it seemed a bizarre market for a tire company.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
