Aug 26th 2009 1:25PM This looks like it would be excellent for a car-installed Mac mini as well!

Aug 12th 2009 2:15PM Err, no, Android itself does not support multitouch, and won't until Eclair at the earliest. The multitouch in the HTC Hero is a custom job by HTC.

Jun 10th 2009 5:38PM @Logic: Actually, there is a little something that would stop you from using the iPhone on Sprint: the iPhone is GSM; Sprint is CDMA :)

Jun 10th 2009 5:36PM Ford? Well, I don't know. I've had a chance to play around it for a couple work days (courtesy of a co-worker); I would think calling it an Audi might be a little more charitable :)
In any case, that's a pretty harsh definition of waste; I'd say you should go easy on yourself and say "waste" is anything completely pointless!
@punkassjim: I bought an original iPhone the day after the price drop (unlocked it and used it on T-Mobile). It was a pretty good phone, I'll agree. I'm not sure how exactly (note that I'm NOT saying you're wrong) you're coming to the conclusion that it's a lot slower than the 3G-S.
I do worry about the battery life though. On the weekend, a lot of folks were complaining about horrendous runtime; at the same time, by Tuesday/Wednesday a large portion of *those* folks reported better battery time. We'll see; I plan on getting a one-month trial of both the Pre and 3G-S. That's the only way to be sure!

Jun 10th 2009 4:53PM ...Are you seriously saying that the Pre is a bike compared to the iPhone's Ferrari? Seriously?
Anyhow, I'd say, sure, it's fun sometimes to SPEND money. I don't know about WASTING money though.

Apr 14th 2009 5:22PM I have to say, it's pretty hard to pick out a single post, but the one about the Engadget store in Malaysia? If not my favorite, it's definitely in the top 10. http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/08/the-engadget-store/
Ask Engadget: Best PMP for long flights? {Engadget}
Aug 7th 2008 9:51PM If I may make a suggestion: any PMP that can be charged by USB, plus one of those 1 pound external battery packs. Those will *start* you off at 8 hours, easily. Bonus: you can use it with your laptop, too.
Dear Auntie TUAW: Is My 2.0 iPhone Slow and Buggy? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 30th 2008 4:46PM Honestly? Not Microsoft's fault but rather HTC's (ODM of the Wing and probably your O2 device). It's as much as their fault as if you tried to run Vista on a 600 Mhz Pentium III. I'm running a Treo 800w with 128 MB RAM and I would call that the minimum for a smooth multi-tasking experience.
In any case, all I'm saying is that if my 800w running multiple programs while rendering pages in Opera Mobile 9.5 pretty close to what they look like on the desktop and STILL let me navigate smoothly, then the iPhone should be able to handle it with twice the processing power.
You can't even blame the third-party apps for this crashing. People are reporting instability without opening programs from the App Store. Even back with the original iPhone, Safari crashed on me all the time if I were to so much as listen to music.
I really wanted come back to Apple and purchase an iPod Touch (since third-party software lets me turn the Treo into an EVDO router), I really did. But with this state of affairs, count me out.
