Video: Android SDK v0.9 hits the internet looking almost ready for primetime {Engadget}
Aug 18th 2008 7:21PM The answer is a resounding YES.
The most basic and important reasons are that both Android and iPhone are ARM based. What works on one, should work on the other (theoretically, there are different arm archs, but the most recent ones should be in use on both). Of course one would have to bypass the hardware's code signing mechanism.... (think jailbreak)

Mac running on windows? As in through a virtual machine? It can be done. Or you could just install OS X to your PC (hardware). Not that hard really.
Trust me guys, if it's possible, there's already a hacker team working on it ;-)

Valmet Automotive announces plans to build Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 11:00PM If I understand things correctly, the car will go for about $80K. Not too bad I guess.... still way higher than anything I can afford. But it's nice to know that it's not like 300K or something. Green needs to get cheaper!

The design looks nice.

MacBook Air patent is mocking you {Engadget}

Ok, I'll admit my reply was a bit condescending, sorry. It's late, and I jumped (http://www.xkcd.com/386/ :p )
My point was that thought the Eee might have "low" specs, it is far from being under-performing as you were hinting.
You have to admit though that your post "highlighting" the Eee shortcomings in relation to the Air. Again, sorry for namecalling you a "fanboy", that was harsh on my part :p

Just because the "speed" of the processor is slower than the Air, doesn't mean that it's nerfed. The Eee Can run Half-Life 2 at a decent FPS, all for $350.

And yes, the Eee has been "hackintoshed".

Do some research next time. It's a dead give away of fanboyism when you don't.
HP's new UMPC 2133 hotness to run VIA, not Penryn? {Engadget}
Feb 20th 2008 12:39PM From what I've read, Via's Isaiah can run Crysis.
I think that sums it all up in terms of performance questions :)
