@Heliosphan Agreed. the multi-touch isn't all that.

I'm waiting on the pricing of MotoNav to be announced - if it's cheap enough, I can live with it over Google Maps Nav. It's functional and works nicely - or at least it will for the next 62 days.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the Motorola Milestone just disappearing from the Expansys pre-order page over the weekend. They've pulled the page and stopped taking orders.
Much needed UI overhaul? Are you having a laugh. The Audi MMI system is widely regarded as one of the clearest, easiest systems out there. Just look at the total hash BMW made of iDrive, or Mercedes with its iDrive wannabe.

Having said that, handwriting recognition is a pointless gimmick. Natural speech voice control would be nice.
Really? 4Gb (presumably without an expansion card - this is Apple after all) would suck. Thats barely enough for a device that pushes seamless voice, video and music as a major selling point.

Certainly, if Apple continues to seek the "premium" end of the market then 4Gb isn't enough. There must be better ways of trimming the cost than crippling one of the major functions of the handset.
Oil spotting on the filter is fairly common.

All pros use a decent sensor cleaning system to keep their sensors spot-free - I personally recommend the Visible Dust range to anyone with a steady hand!
Yeah, because the "Get A Mac" ads have always been a shining beacon of truth in the advertising world.
Slightly OT, but I really don't think the iPod/iPhone is a good remote control. I use a Logitech presenter as it has actual buttons - I don't need to look at the thing to change slides or bring up the next bullet point. It's also got an integrated laser which is handy.

I know you can use the iPod for notes, which might be a good idea for some, but I don't like the idea of watching presentations where someone is constantly looking at his iPod instead of the audience.

Also, small point, but many people are a little nervous when presenting to large groups - sweaty hands and the glossy iPhone are just begging for an expensive and very public dropping.
Actually Porsche and Porsche Design are two different entities - certainly no one who designs the ashtrays and coffee machines is involved with designing the cars.
Not so bothered by the design of the machine, I'm more interested in the quality of the coffee. If this thing offers a step-up from the luke-warm ditch water the current thing produces then I'll be amazed!
I assume the price is the on-the-road Dutch price, which would include a whopping 43% luxury tax (BPM) on new cars, plus 19% VAT and all the import duties.

If you were importing into another European country, you can claim back the BPM, provided it is never registered with a Dutch license plate.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
