Sony cutting 80GB PS3 price to $400 in September, ditching backwards compatibility {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 4:48PM They can't remove the HD, there are games that depend on it.
Cheaper SKUs is why MS made it mandatory that all 360 games NOT require the hard drive.

MS already cut prices BEFORE Sony.
MS was and still is WAY less expensive.

16-year-old converts gas truck to electric, reminds us of our wasted youth {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2008 7:11PM I talked to a rescue worker not long ago about the dangers of Hybrid and Electric cars. He said that yes they have been trained on them, and that there is little or no concern. When it comes to stuff leaking out or cutting into power he said the risk level was about the same. As for cutting wires, he said it is the same as NOT cutting fuel lines. If anything they would be happy with the reduced risk of the car catching fire in all electric ones.
Palm, i-mate, others moving manufacturing contracts back to HTC? {Engadget}
Jan 17th 2008 6:38PM As an owner of an UTStarcom 6700 aka HTC Apache I would say they are cheap. Although the Apache was the most feature packed device of its time and still fairs well the number of reported device defects in the support forums is staggering. I my self am on my second device, and I know some users that went all the way to four replacements.
Even if you have a working one you have to deal with Windows Mobile instability. I can't wait to see if the Google Android devices are any better.
Infection alert: Insignia 10.4-inch photo frame kindly bundled with trojan {Engadget}
Jan 17th 2008 1:11PM Had the same problem with a Mustek photo frame I purchases as a gift for christmas. The on access antivirus software caught it.
Great delivery method for getting all those geeks that say "I don't need AV because I only download stuff I know is safe".
I say be ware of ANY device that mounts as a USB storage drive, there are more and more things on the market that do this now.

GE's latest DECT 6.0 phones feature dedicated GOOG-411 button {Engadget}
Jan 3rd 2008 6:13PM Access points can be on about 12 different channels, if you live in an apartment or condo where many people have WiFi they tend to use up all the channels.. Add to that some older baby monitors and things start to not work so well.
I recently tested about 3 Baby monitors in my place, only a DECT one came through clear.. All the others where picking up noise from somewhere.

Jan 3rd 2008 5:35PM Cool, I have been thinking of getting a DECT phone, my old 2.4 Ghz set gets beat down by my WiFi and all sorts of other 2.4Ghz devices.
