Google sets up Android support team in Taiwan

Nice to see how one of the most profitable US companies in 2008 is helping the US economy by creating jobs abroad. Fuck you Google.

Microsoft insists it's not making a phone, rumored to be rebranding WinMo to "Windows Phone"

Feb 6th 2009 12:39PM on Engadget

Looks like the new Microsoft strategy: instead of improving the products, keep renaming them to confuse unsuspecting customers so they'll think they're getting a completely new product. It's really amazing how little they've improved WinMo since 5.0 which was released when, 5 years ago? Frankly I can't tell the difference between my old Dell Axim X30 and my updated Sprint Mogul running WinMo 6.1 besides a few minor tweaks.

Callpod's Drone Bluetooth adapter turns your Bluetooth headset into Skype's best friend

Nov 14th 2008 10:27AM on Engadget

@Cathal: who told you the bluetooth headset wouldn't work with a Mac or PC? I have over a dozen models and have yet to find one that wouldn't function with my Mac and my PC laptop. Of course on Windows it can get a little tricky because you get your "choice" of Bluetooth stack vendor, and some are more capable than others.

In terms of range, the 100m range is typical of a "class 1" device (most devices are class 2). You can only achieve this range between two devices of the same class.

DISH Network's DTVPal DVR converter box set to roll out in December

Funny that the DTVPal actually works in NTSC.

Pioneer Inno XMp3 reviewed: great, save for reception hiccups

Nov 9th 2008 4:49PM on Engadget

These things have horribly spotty reception -- I find it much more convenient to use my cell phone and its unlimited data plan to listen to satellite radio over the internet. I rarely get any interruptions of service, and it works inside buildings, trains, etc...

Microsoft placing "I'm a PC" recording booths outside Apple stores

Oct 31st 2008 2:45PM on Engadget

When you control 90% of the desktop market and it used to be 95% just a couple of years ago, customers don't want your latest product, and all your attempts at finding new markets fail, you may not be desperate, but you're certainly nervous.

Microsoft placing "I'm a PC" recording booths outside Apple stores

Whoa! There's no way they'd be doing this if Apple wasn't seriously starting to get them worried. And who could blame them, within a year Apple has completely demolished their stronghold on the smartphone market, Vista is tanking...

Next-gen Prius semi-officially leaks out: yep, looks like a shoe

My shoes have 4 wheels each, too. http://www.rollerblade.com

Road to G1 has been a three-year endeavor for Google, HTC

Sep 25th 2008 7:57PM on Engadget

Twice the amout of time it took Apple to design the hardware and software of the iPhone, and all they could build is this atrocity? EPIC FAIL doesn't even begin to describe it.

T-Mobile G1 launch day roundup

Sep 24th 2008 12:58PM on Engadget

Nice nerdphone, if you're willing to put up with T-Mobile's spotty network. Their lousy coverage does not command the high monthly fees. Don't worry about the 1GB limit: it's highly unlikely you'll ever get enough signal to be able to reach it.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
