This could be a technology blocking moving maybe until they figure out what they can use it for. Head tracking has been around for a while but hasn't been put to good use. It is a one user technology and that doesn't translate to mass marketability.

@ste

The point of head tracking is to change a screen from a flat image into a perceived virtual window.

Kind of like when you look out of a window and a nice girl walks by you get up to check her out as she goes out of view. So you change the position of you head in order to change your vantage point.

Head tracking mimics this and I guess it could also be combined with 3D glasses to combine both effects.

"Secondly, if you're asking them them if they're serious"

Funny when one correct another in an unnecessary manner and fails in the process.

hmm - this tech is better for consoles and TVs. I guess sony and PSeye missed the boat. Still cant believe no one has patented this.

PS I did my own version for WinMo :)

Zune HD Twitter app now live UPDATE: it censors tweets!

@rabidcb

unbelievable - the internet is truly a funny place.

So he is a liar just because he prefers Windows7+Dell over Mac?

Twitter for Zune coming tomorrow, @Facebook where are you?

@rampar

Unlikely to happen until things are finalised with WinMo7. Last thing I think they would want is seperate marketplaces for Zune and WinMo.

Why not new and bigger things in general rather than iThings??

The iAudience is indeed larger but the article could have been written more generally and still have been interesting for the entire gadget audience not just those interested in iThings.

Some would think Apple are the only ones affected by this.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
