Palm Pre WebOS 1.3.1 update available now {Engadget}
Nov 14th 2009 5:04AM I've wanted a Palm Pre ever since it was announced back at the beginning of the year. But almost a year later I'm still using an HTC Touch Diamond as my primary phone. Don't get me wrong...I love Windows Mobile. It's my secondary phone, the Palm Treo Pro, that I am looking to replace. If only Sprint didn't require an "everything plan" for the Pre as my retention plan I'm told is not compatible with the Pre.

Sprint cutting up to 2,500 more employees from the payroll {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2009 1:40PM The 100 million dollars I heard they spent on the Instinct ads has to take the cake. That thing isn't even a smartphone. What they need to do in their commercials is start showing some features of the phones in action like they do with the iPhone.

Nov 10th 2009 1:34PM FYI...India has more people that speak English than we have in the United States. I read it on a Snapple cap. Now they just need to screen them in the hiring process so the ones we can't understand through their thick accents don't get the CSR jobs answering our calls.
Verizon takes another swing at AT&T, puts iPhone on the Island of Misfit Toys {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2009 2:35PM You are right sir...
AT&T and Verizon both do an outstanding job of charging too much for their service. I have five lines with Sprint and love them! My only complaint would be the charge for the call forwarding that doesn't play nice with the new Google Voice offering.
I also have an iPod Touch that I won at a golf outing. I love it and can see how the masses would gravitate towards its sibling, the iPhone, because it just works. What keeps me from joining them though is (1) the additional control and functionality I have with my Windows Mobile devices and (2) the fact that it is not offered on the Sprint network.
Orb for Mac finally arrives, streams media from OS X to any internet-connected device {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 5:55PM Yeah, 10 bucks for the iPhone/iPod Touch app is a joke. I've been using Orb for years now on several Windows Mobile phones and even a few non-smartphones and my total out of pocket expense has been zip. I guess they feel they can sucker $10 out of the same suckers that Apple has been bending over for years.

Sep 29th 2009 11:07AM For starters this thing LOOKS pretty sleek, slimming (it's black), and attractive. It also doesn't appear to be weighed down by an associated monthly fee. I would think a closer rival to it would be the BodyBugg (like they were on NBC's show The Biggest Loser).
Palm Pre confirmed for Verizon? Probably. {Engadget}
Sep 26th 2009 12:55AM Why would one need it on any other network other than Sprint? If one wants a solid phone on a solid network then you'd be looking at the Pre on Sprint. I've never really understood why people trash Sprint when they provide great service at a price that is a good value relative to AT&T and Verizon. I personally think the Pre on either AT&T or Verizon would be a lesser offering. People love to dog Dan Hesse and Sprint. As a customer who has been with them from the start I can honestly say that I've never been a happier and satisfied Sprint customer than I am today and love the position and current direction they're headed. With that said there's always room for even more improvement and innovation and I've been waiting for Dan to call so I can share with him one GREAT idea I have for them...don't bother asking if you're not Dan Hesse.
Entelligence: Have we demonized DRM? {Engadget}
Sep 24th 2009 6:56PM I'll take the all-you-can-eat option...just in case I drop my plate of three slices on the way to my table. The drop of the plate would be like the replacement of an old computer, the replacement of a portable mp3 player, etc. However, with electronics it's not a "just in case" scenario but a "when" scenario.
R2D2 turned into retro gaming shrine, includes head-mounted projector {Engadget}
Sep 23rd 2009 11:48AM I love what appears to be two classic Atari paddle controllers in the middle of the second row from the right. Sure the joystick got all of the attention and glory back then but the paddles were great for a little Breakout action...or another classic, Pong...without having to play right on the console...because the original Pong console didn't have controllers.
