Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just been a while since MSFT has shipped a "major" OS that was as "service packy" as Win7. Maybe '98 after '95? Certainly ME was a dis-service pack after '98. For consumers, though, the only "major" Windows versions in the last 15 years have been: Win 3.x, Win95, XP, Vista.
Don't believe me? I present the version numbers:
Win 3....v3.x
Win95...v4.0
Win98...v4.1
Win2k...v5.0
WinMe..v4.9
WinXP...v5.1
Vista.....v6.0
Win7.....v6.1
iPhone OS 3.0 now available {Engadget}
Jun 17th 2009 4:25PM Activation Server errors definitely a matter of persistence. I had to try to update about 20 - 30 times over the course of 15 - 20 minutes before the update would get past the Activation Server error.
If you really want the update now, just keep trying and you -will- get through.
Bezos suggests Kindle books will appear on more devices, compete with Kindle readers {Engadget}
Jun 16th 2009 2:16PM Every device has its sweet spot, though, and even as a gadget adict $350+ to read books seems high. If the device could be priced around $199 (I'd even allow some type of contract/commitment), I think it would start to find mass apeal. Just look at what the $199 price tag did for iPhone sales...
iTunes support confirmed for Palm Pre {Engadget}
May 28th 2009 7:19PM At this point, I don't think Apple can "block out" Palm. If they make changes to iTunes specifically to block Palm, I can see Anit-Trust lawsuits in Apple's future...

Apr 28th 2009 11:18PM Also missing from the KIRF costs: licensing fees.
Those patent trolls do a lot to impact the price of "legit" devices.

The rather uneventful (yet somehow exciting) evolution of Wii MotionPlus {Engadget}
Apr 24th 2009 12:41PM I've got to say, I've been reading Engadget religiously for years, and this was one of the first posts where the sarcasm was lost on me.
Kindle 2 first hands-on! (updated with video and impressions) {Engadget}
Feb 9th 2009 12:41PM Whether or not we'd like to admit it, we'd probably spend $199 (maybe event $249) to own this if for no other reason than to have another cool looking gadget in our "collections."
At $350, I agree it's too much, even for a "show-off" device to impress your friends.
