How would you change Apple's iPod touch 2G / nano 4G?

I agree completely. I'd like to see the scroll wheel provide a directional interface in addition to scrolling. I can't stand it when I blow past the item I wanted to stop on.

I must've missed the post(s) on the Wowwee Butterfly, so please forward me the whole lot so I can be enlightened.

Heated keyboard keeps fingers toasty whilst typing

If they offered on in black I'd be all over it. I work in an old government building turned computing facility, and the temperature control is horrible. It can be 95F outside and 65F in my office. I already have a Cozy Toes under the desk and this would definitely help thaw out my fingers.

RCA's H116 6GB DAP reviewed

Jul 3rd 2006 5:57PM on Engadget

I picked my wife up an RCA Lyra a few months back and it was the biggest POS electronics purchase I've ever made. Top to bottom it was awful. The controls were awkward and difficult to maneuver, and the menu interface was just plain horrible. I don't have much faith that RCA could improve upon something that horrible in such a short amount of time.

Why would anyone inhale a Nano?

Philips patent app would force you to watch commercials, both live and recorded

Western Digital displays its soft side with MyBook line of drives

Nice. They went to all the trouble to make it look like a book, and then put a huge, glowing button on the binder. Wouldn't the point of making it look like a book be to....make it look like a book?

Day 2 of Engadget Mobile's 30 days of cellphone giveaways

How sweet would this be? My 2-year death sentence with Verizon ends in a couple of weeks, so I'm flexible again!

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?"
