All Zune models not named 'Zune HD' on the outs

I hope not, I freaking love the squircle. They could have even stuck one on the HD

If the squircle could only make it to a few WIndows Mobile phones..

Recent Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM shows finger friendly approach

Jul 19th 2009 6:43PM on Engadget

This.

Previous phone (SX66) screen was about 3.5 inches. Even on the Pocket PC 2003 OS it was a joy to use, no stylus needed. Things changed for the 2.8 inch VGA screen devices like Tilt, TyTn. The OS was not designed for that. Add whatever third party interface I feel like that week (though I don't need to) and it's all good again.

Ditto on the browsers.. people make a big deal out of seeing a full web page on a 3 inch screen, which is ridiculous. Single column rendering is appropriate for a 3 inch mobile device.

@Scooby: To each his own, but since moving to 6.5 I've been able to completely dismiss TouchFlo3D. Couldn't take that swiping anymore. The new home screen is awesome and utterly beautiful

Wait that's not fair, the Windows Mobile version doesn't have Facebook!

Windows 7 could be sold on thumb drives, but probably not

Of all the sites to report this story, Engadget is the only one that managed to make it sound negative at every turn, even in the title.

I mean, even the Windows 7 screenshot is an ugly mess of shortcut icons.

Microsoft Touch Pack brings Surface experience to Windows 7

Wow. This was a pretty weak report. How is it possible for Microsoft to come out with something cool and Engadget still manages to sound biased against it? My mind is blown.

Microsoft to demo new search engine (Kumo) next week

The image and video searches are already miles above the competition, so it'll be interesting to see what improvements they make.

I'm not sure if they're really going to make regular search better, but let's see

Firefox Fennec now available for WinMo in alpha form

Just installed this on my Fuze, and I actually like it. It's slow as heck so far but it works really well. Just like desktop Firefox, I guess. Let me spend some more time with it.

I actually like the recent trend of editorializing on here

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!"
