NPD: Wii reclaims lead in US sales, but console gaming market shrinks by a fifth {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 1:13PM As someone who has all 3 (win7 PC, zune hd, xbox 360) i use the xbox for some casual gaming, a netflix portal, zune 1080p streaming (in preview) and as my wmc extender as my pc has the cable hooked up and i record all my tv on it and watch the live tv through the xbox. I have the zune hd dock too, but that fits into the puzzle more as a way to bring HD content outside the living room. I used to complain about the xbox HD size but since it can access my pc moviess and music library at all times, its not a big a deal anymore.
Xbox LIVE gets 1080p Zune Video store, Twitter, Facebook and more on November 17th (video) {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2009 7:02PM Ive been using it since the first preview batch and id have to say the 1080p streaming is really awesome. It compliments netflix very well since 9/10 of those movies are crap and the ones on the preview are big name movies. It costs around $6 to 24 hour rent a movie in HD and $4 in SD. You have the option to purchase them but id rather buy them on my PC and access them over the network to the xbox.
I dont use last.fm at all, facebook is fun to use but more of a gimmick, and i dont tweet so.. the 1080p is the meat of this upgrade.
Windows Mobile 7 'Maldives' test program reportedly on track for Q1 2010 release to OEMs {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 7:42AM Even if it is, i doubt it will even work on today's handsets (except the HD2) Anything with a 7200/7600/7500 series processor i would say will not work at all with it.

Because mike.. when you have vertical services to offer with the OS, such as zune integration, exchange, etc. and its what people want, then hardware manufacturers will pay the $15 per handset license for WM7. The linux crowd still hasnt figured out that because their OS is free doesnt mean people will want it.
Apple TV 3.0.1 update prevents data from 'temporarily disappearing' {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2009 7:04PM Apple's had a bit of a problem holding on to your data lately... its actually an unfinished feature where you pay monthly to keep your data from not deleting itself.
Zune HD v4.3 firmware out now: fixes playcount bug, adds lots of great things (video) {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2009 2:27PM Ive noticed that the Browser no longer closes and goes to the main screen after a long duration in sleep mode. That was always particularly irritating when you left it alone for 5 minutes and it was back on the homescreen.
Apple welcomes Windows 7 the only way it knows how, with a new commercial (video, updated) {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2009 10:37PM I think some of these are funny, in the way caricature exaggerates yet still is funny. I always get a good laugh.. i especially liked the 80s throwback hair and glasses on Hodgeman. FYI, I run 2 comps on Windows 7 (got my preorders today) I have a Zune HD, and own few apple products (years old) yet I still find their commercials funny. Format getting stale, but still funny.
Windows 7 Media Center's upgraded Netflix Watch Instantly interface now available {Engadget}
Oct 20th 2009 6:59PM There were there when I came home on my 7 RC machine.. so works for both I guess.

Oct 12th 2009 9:19PM False sense of security is worse than no security at all. Downplaying it is better for PR worse for the consumer, being honest is better for the consumer worse for PR. Look at the one Apple picked..
Entelligence: The HTC HD2 and the future of Windows Mobile {Engadget}
Oct 6th 2009 7:54PM The TouchPro2 should have had a snapdragon processor in it too. Im currently using one from sprint but this whole fiasco with 6.5 and the perpetual delays with wm7 just is so depressing. I bought the TP2 because by this time next year sprint will get around to releasing the next generation devices which may or may not have WM7.. if they dont, im abandoning WM for android.. but even that doesnt fill my needs. I would like a device like the Zune HD as my phone.. please whats wrong with that??
