Nokia shuttering London flagship store

Dec 8th 2009 6:22AM on Engadget

@xbit, spot on comment, matey; you only have to stroll round the corner onto Oxford Street, and there are about 25 different branches of Carphone Warehouse, Orange/O2/Vodafone stores, etc, all trying to outdo each other.

Lullabelly prenatal music belt rocks the cradle of love

Oct 29th 2009 6:53AM on Engadget

Bought one of these four years ago! Different brand but identical concept. Duff idea really, perfectly pitched to ignorant new parents-to-be (i.e. me four years ago).

Garmin-Asus nuvifone G60 review

Oct 14th 2009 5:07AM on Engadget Mobile

You mention that "Garmin-Asus has managed to shove a bona fide nüvi into a phone"; from your review, it seems more like they've just about managed to shoe-horn a half-decent phone into a bona fide nüvi. That seems a bit of a back-to-front approach to me in terms of how they'll market it; will it be sold as a satnav with a phone thrown in, or a phone with a satnav thrown in. Either way, customers might end up disappointed that one function either fails or triumphs greatly over the other.

Eigenharp Pico and Alpha slowly remove shroud of mystery, gets stratospheric price tags

Absolutely agree; is nothing more than a glorified Keytar, superglued onto an EWI - did you watch the BBC News video? The clarinet sound sounds exactly like you'd expect; "quite like" a clarinet but "definitely not" a clarinet. And then three of them used them to play a MOBY TRACK!! A MOBY TRACK!! I mean, of all the cack-handed choices to demonstrate your £4000 instrument with. Just another expensive novelty, and there's a long list of those out there that no-one uses anymore (Atari Hotz, anyone?)

TomTom's iPhone car kit gets taken for a stationary test drive

Oct 7th 2009 10:09AM on Engadget

I think you'll find, me old mate, that only idiots don't keep their iPhone in some sort of rubberised protective case; out of the five iPhones bought for senior staff at my company in October 2008, we'd knackered three of them by January 2009! I dropped mine in the toilet...we now have comprehensive (literally) insurance (and 32gb 3GSs, which is nice).

Novation Launchpad speaks Ableton Live's language... on video!

Looks wicked; cue at least three more incredibly dull Imogen Heap albums...

Microsoft's dual-screen Courier booklet emerges, isn't near production

Sep 23rd 2009 5:41AM on Engadget

Looks fabulous in principle, although as usual, the interface will be far more jaggy and slow than the version shown here, as per iPhone ads. And why do they always always get incomprehensible mumblecore actresses to voice these demos? Speaking too fast, too quietly and too "i'm a tech so i can't relate to the human race, which is why i speak too quickly for them to understand me" doesm't tend to win me over.

Microsoft handing out Windows 7 Launch Party host confirmations

Just got invited to one of these by a friend! Is that one of the Proclaimers in the top photo (in the dark blue short-sleeve shirt)?

picoStick USB Digital TV tuner is insanely small, but only in Europe

Ahem: tvcatchup.com "Freeview Card" thereby becomes extinct.

Rock Band Bar Nights encourages sloppy thrashing in watering holes

Oh, just one more thing, Mikey M (does the "M" stand for "moron"?): the use of the word "moi" was a fairly obvious joke based around it being a pretentious word in itself. Well done for missing a crashingly obvious piece of irony.

You massive twat.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
