Yeah, like I'll ever trust Seagate with my Backups again...

"What, half our new drives fail after a couple of days? That's preposterous!"
"What, you want your data back? No way!"
I don't want Bluetooth headphones because that's another thing I'll have to charge, and also because I'm pretty sure it will drain the battery in no time.

But the most important reason for me not to get Bluetooth headphones is that I won't be able to use them with my iPod or any other of my already existing non bluetooth-enabled hardware.

Also, there are no BT headphones that would deliver the sound quality I've come to expect.
Yeah, pretty sure that's a FUZE problem. My Touch Diamond is quite usable in that way.

Except for the soundquality of the external speaker...
Oh, somewhere in the top ten there should be:

- 3.5mm headphone jack. Definitely.
I own a Touch Diamond

1) BATTERY
2) BATTERY FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
3) Make Touch Flo go further than just the pretty previews of stuff. Get some Touch Flo usablity in all Lists (scrolling in contacts/everything is a pain, the flicking is completely useless), in the inboxes, everything.
4) Capacitive Touch Screen
5) Touch Screen less of a smudge magnet
6) Better CPU, MUCH more RAM, you have to restart the thing once a day or it will eventually lock up
7) Force Microsoft to actually work on a good version of WinMo, the one out right now is pretty useless.
8) Better GPS reception, takes five minutes to get a proper satellite lock. Provide either a plugin for gMaps or a different software altogether that gives you voice commands.
9) Better speaker, the integrated one is useless both for hands-free calls and listening to music.
10) Better camera. The one in use is shitty quality (everything's a blur if you're not in direct sunlight), and takes a minute to focus and take a picture.
11) IR would be nice for remote control purposes.
12) Definitely keep the hardware Call/End Call Buttons (just one of them would suffice, though), the rest of the hardware buttons are useless.
13) When in a call, keep the hardware volume buttons unlocked, even if the touchscreen locks up.
You can also get these at the german amazon: http://www.amazon.de/Apple-iPod-Nano-Tragbarer-MP3-Player/dp/B001FWYS6O/ref=br_lf_m_1000215853_1_26_img?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&pf_rd_p=218849191&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000215853&pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_r=025NDG9FNN9HEZVQVMBB

They will run you 129€, which is more than 182$, which is 17$ less than what you'd have to pay for a 16GB iPod in the US.

Us Europeans always get ripped off, especially by apple.
I was thinking about getting a 32GB iPod touch, which costs 399$ (280€) in the US, but it'll run me 535$ (379€), which is ridiculous... It will cost me 135$ more if I buy it here.
If I were to buy iPods for a couple of my friends and myself, I could actually book a flight to New York City, stay there for a weekend and buy the stuff, fly back, and still save some money.
I guess what we all want to know is - why the hell are there pancakes on it in the first picture?!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
