And how is this different from the current situation? Apps in WinMo have no DRM and have to do copy protection by themselves (generated keys or something) ...
@rinum009: while nuclear power may seem nice, because you get a large amount of electricity from just one power plant, it isn't the cheapest, cleanest available power to mankind. Nuclear fusion might change all that, but there is no reason we need to continue to build nuclear fission plans ... is there?

I am from Germany and half of our nuclear power plants are either shut down or not running anymore. We have no problems with electricity anywhere ... and in the south nearly every third roof is covered with solar panels ...
I own an iPhone, too ... but how is it possible that people go so crazy for features like video recording? It exists in similar quality on nearly every cell phone out there! At least in Europe and Japan ...
Cartoon dynamite? Lithium Ion can explode like real dynamite if handled incorrectly ;-)
You have no idea! Pumping it back into the grid very wasteful ...
Andre,

I highly recommend reading this article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit

Basically you measure 3 accelerations and 3 rotation rates all orthogonal to each other and you can track every move of an object. 2 gyros and the built in accelerometers are not enough ... even with camera they use.
Does that mean the MotionPlus thing uses a dual-axis gyro? Or did InvenSense in fact "invent" a 3-axis gyro? Because I can't find that IDG-600 on their website and the press-release only speaks of multi-axis gyros ... hmmm
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
