No-contract $30 / $45 Straight Talk wireless plans storm Walmart {Engadget}

Oct 14th 2009 2:50PM it's gonna be hard. even the GSM stuff uses special sim cards that will only work in their phones. Love to see it though and at these prices its actually worth going through the work to do it. The only smart phones I know of that even might be hackable and even reasonably current are the verizon palm centros. If the pixie comes out n verizon it might be mighty nice though. An android phone would be the easiest to deal with but you'd need to have a verizon branded one, and I'm not sure there is currently any such animal.

Any hack is going to be ugly. You're probably going to have to get a walmart phone and then suck the data off it so you can spoof it.

David Hockney paints with his iPhone, results not typical {Engadget}

Oct 11th 2009 10:51AM This definitely cements Hockney's status as an art Celebutaunt. When the only reason it makes it into a gallery is because your name's on it you might as well be Kim Kardashian's ass.

Magnetic Air Car "does not violate the laws of energy conservation or the basic principles of thermodynamics" {Autoblog Green}

Oct 1st 2009 9:01PM I love the thermodynamics bit. I can see the conversation now...

"It pays to be careful 'cause the last thing I sold DID violate the laws of thermodynamics, and let me tell you, the investors were not pleased."

"Then maybe you should worry about that million rpm you're talking about..."

Paid apps hitting the Pre tomorrow? {Engadget}

Oct 1st 2009 6:14PM IMHO the killer app for smartphones these days will be a full featured PIM with decent notification controls.
While blackberry and WinMo have a few of these both of those systems lack other advanced features like a decent browser. Of iPhone, Android and Palm, none of these currently have a decent PIM and the iPhone will probably never have one because apple has made alarm controls illegal. Palm's history as always been a strong PIM but webOS's built in calendar app simply does not cut it.

Stolen: Zero S swiped from Fuel promotional tour! {Autoblog Green}

Oct 1st 2009 8:40AM I wouldn't be looking for the bike, I'd be looking for the batteries. They're 90% of the value of the thing and a lot easier to turn into cash.
