Underactive Bladder Syndrome: 2010 Prius gets conventional gas tank {Autoblog Green}
Jul 7th 2009 1:08PM The only time I've been able to get to 11 gallons was in the summer was when I nearly ran the car out of gas on a long trip once. I was riding the low fuel light for an extra 50 miles until the station.
I've gotten used to it... I typically go between 450 to 480 miles between fillups, and put in around 8 to 9 gallons.
Underactive Bladder Syndrome: 2010 Prius gets conventional gas tank {Autoblog Green}
Jul 7th 2009 11:54AM This is good news. I've never really been able to put more than 9 gallons of fuel into my '05 Prius because of the bladder.

Jun 28th 2009 4:13AM It wouldn't surprise me if these were hacked Samsung Omnias... The specs are identical, and the look and feel are definitely the same.

Jun 25th 2009 3:58PM I'll stick with my PSP-1000. It continues to run every single PSP game out there, UMD or not... maybe not as fast as the latest PSPs...
The biggest news from Sony lately isn't this new PSP product, which may or may not even be necessary. The biggest news is that their online game catalog is looking to explode in the coming months... heck, already we've got big PSone titles like Resident Evil, Final Fantasy 7, and Metal Gear Solid available for download TODAY.
As a PSP owner, I'm grateful for this, but at the same time, this should have been done YEARS ago. At least now Sony has their heads out of their butts and realizes the virtues of online distribution.
Jimmy Fallon takes on Tiger Woods this Thursday night {Joystiq}
Jun 25th 2009 1:12AM Yeah yeah... I get it. Jimmy Fallon is all about being young and hip and into games and everything my generation loves...
That doesn't change the fact that Jimmy Fallon SUCKS and is the most unfunny man on television.
iPhone 3GS: $179 to build says iSuppli {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2009 7:07PM I see where you are coming from, but I can't help but feel like you're playing armchair quarterback.
You say you don't want me to confuse facts with what people are trying to get the masses to believe, but what you are offering isn't fact either... it's speculation as well. You're speculating on internal Apple and AT&T discussions on projected sales that (unless you are an Apple or AT&T insider) you don't have access to, and shouldn't be disclosing even if you do.
All I'm saying is that you seem to be stretching to spin 1 million sales in a 3 day period in the middle of an economic recession a failure.
Your theory is plausible, but unprovable, but the facts are facts... there are 1 million more iPhones out there than there were just a few days ago.
I agree with you that they can't keep doing this every year, but I'm also a huge proponent of the downfall of the carrier's strict control on the whole process. I hate dealing with AT&T, and consider them dishonest in their pricing and restrictions.
That being said, I didn't jump from an iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3G S. I skipped over the 3G last year and have been using my original iPhone for 2 years. The new features in the S make for enough of a reason to upgrade for me, and I have no regrets.
iPhone 3GS: $179 to build says iSuppli {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2009 6:23PM I am aware of the Omnia HD. I will admit that it is a great phone... but where is the carrier support in the US?
What if i don't want to buy unlocked and pay so much money? What if i want to pay $200 plus enter a contract for cell service I was getting anyway?
In the US from the major carriers, the choices were what I listed before. Pre, Blackberry storm, G1, mytouch 3g, or the iPhone.
Why don't you hate on the Pre, the blackberry, the Tmo android phones? Have you heard that Palm is charging $850 unsubsidized for the Pre? Where were you to blast Palm for this move?

Just as an aside... the Omnia HD uses the same processor as the iPhone 3G S. Both are based on ARM Cortex A8, clocked around 600Mhz. The Omnia does have more capability now. You are right about that.
iPhone 3GS: $179 to build says iSuppli {Engadget}
Jun 24th 2009 6:01PM Where can I buy a phone with all these features? And how much does that phone cost to produce, according to the same method as iSuppli?
The iPhone should be compared to its peers, not some magical jesus phone you dreamed up.
http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/palm-pre-138-to-build-according-to-isuppli/
According to iSuppli, through Engadget, the iPhone's peers cost :
Palm Pre : $138
Blackberry Storm : $203
Tmobile G1 : $144
iPhone 3G : $174
So, the iPhone 3G S falls right in the pack. Cheaper than the Blackberry Storm, but more expensive than the Pre or the G1 to make.
The last time I checked, you can get a Palm Pre for $199 with contract, and you can also get an iPhone 3G S for $199 with contract. The data plans are different, but that's more the carrier's fault...
