Sony Reader pre-order now live in the UK, shipping in September {Engadget}
Jul 23rd 2008 5:30PM @kjb434: You wasted your breath telling people what to do instead of just giving the information requested. I Googled (on your suggestion) and still can't find out where to pre-order or what the price will be.
Anyone else care to be more helpful?

I don't know how you've set up your preferences in iTunes, but you can do exactly the same thing with iTunes on the Mac as on the PC. Any way you wish to reference your music is possible. iTunes will organise your music folder for you, or you can leave it switched off.
UK group wants FM turned off in favor of DAB by 2012 {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2008 4:20PM May I add to the comments here - I am in agreement with all of the above. What the DAB group don't seem to realise (despite everyone moaning for years) is that DAB in the UK is terrible, and that is why nobody buys into it. My main gripes:
1. It's too expensive
2. The quality is worse than both satellite and FM broadcasts
3 - and this is a long one but a real show-stopper for me: Digital codecs mean that different equipment decodes at different speeds. The whole point of radio for me is to wander round the house, sometimes with two or three radios on playing the same station. With DAB they just clash! And if I have another radio which is not digital (and let's face it, who can afford several digital radios) then they clash TERRIBLY.
Maybe they should think long and hard at why they're not doing very well before they rush headlong into switching off analogue.
Enclosed electric motorcycle is green and ghastly {Engadget}
Jun 22nd 2008 10:48AM Yep, the yanks have been moaning for years about the price of 'gas'. I remember when I first visited in 2000 they were moaning about the price being something like $1.50 per gallon. I couldn't believe what I was hearing!
So much for the $10 per gallon "joke", maybe y'all be thinking a bit harder about green issues WHEN it does happen to you. At that time you'll all be riding around on Segways and having the money to moan about looks vs green issues.

MobileMe announced for iPhones, Macs, and PCs -- .Mac is dead {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2008 5:56PM I'm with you on this.
I left .Mac about three months ago. This changes nothing at all. The same services we get everywhere else but $99... Actually if I only paid $99 it'd be okay, but .Mac (MobileWee) in the UK is £69. That's more like $135.
Thanks but no thanks! Maybe I will think again if I get an iPhone, but this isn't enticing me back at all.
