Hydrogen fuel cell-powered MOTOSLVR L7 prototype gets pictured {Engadget}
Feb 17th 2008 6:08PM Erm... What about the story from the UK.
The one that was reported on the Daily Source Code, Adam Currys podcast...
Where the phone blew up and set fire to the carpet. And possibly was in part responsible for Nokia recalling all those batteries last year.
Oh and that guys whos ipod nano popped in his pocket whilst he was working in an airport.
Just thought that i would mention it.
Acer prices themselves right out of "low-cost" laptop game {Engadget}
Feb 13th 2008 8:41AM Acer isnt joining them! This is where they have been for a good long time outside of the US. (end of me fussing)
Acers have long been at the bottom of the pile as far as price is concerned, its still the cheapest 'new' laptop that you can buy on amazon.co.uk and they do have competitive specs on them. Build quality is improving the older models aspire 1300/1500 were shocking.The new gem stones models are better.
However I think that the post might be missing the point here... yes you might be able to buy a 15.4" notebook for an extra $50/100, but your not getting the light weight small form factor. Finally at a price point that most people can afford/justify.
Everex claims future CloudBooks to include SSD, 22-inch screens, Osborne effect? {Engadget}
Feb 7th 2008 10:49AM Sure ok.... yeah its only 7lbs...it fits nicely in my... Oh yeah i forgot its 2foot long!
Im thinking that they are going down the same route as the EEE when they talk about a 19" model the 22" cloudbook will most probably be a desktop unit otherwise they wont be able to keep the costs down, possibly an all in one, monitor and CPU base integrated.
Hands-on with the Garmin nuvifone {Engadget}

Garmin gets official with its nuvifone {Engadget}
Jan 31st 2008 6:42AM it has to be the most unimaginative design ive ever seen... It like any phone from 5 years ago with the buttons ripped off and the screen pulled down. At least apple/LG has the awareness of the market place to understand that you have to make these thing look good. After all half the reason that these things are going to be bought is to show off to people, and with this phone I would be hesitant to do so.
Confirmed: MacBook Air SuperDrive does NOT work with other machines {Engadget}
Jan 25th 2008 2:03PM @Rick Wilson,
You maybe right about some external burners needing 1000ma however there are a couple on the market that draw only 500ma, although they have heavily reduced burning speeds, and are dog slow.
LG GSA-E50N Slimline USB This requires 2USB connections to run at full speed, however its only £43.00, approx $80.00. This I can highly recommend, ive bought several for various people and use one myself on a regular basis, its a great buy.
