TeleNav launches GPS navigation for the G1

Feb 12th 2009 10:27AM on Engadget

No, they wont. At least, not legally. Its not Apple that decided to lock up the iPhone's use of Google Maps as a solution for turn-by-turn nav, its actually Google as part of the contract with their content providers. The G1 is actually tied down by the same legal issues. If you want turn-by-turn you gotta bring your own data...

T-Mobile G1's RC33 update includes Google Latitude

Feb 4th 2009 11:55AM on Engadget

Huh. Too bad it never seems to get more accurate than an 18-block radius on my G1.

ASUS veers back onto familiar trail with Eee PC 900HA

Oct 2nd 2008 12:25PM on Engadget

Netbook with S-Video? I know I'm in the minority here, but it would be nice to have a way to do composite output on a netbook. Most HD-TVs can already take the VGA (which is why I dont fret over lack of HDMI), but for standard def it would be nice if there was a convenient hookup.

VAIO TT specs leak out

Sep 22nd 2008 2:50PM on Engadget

Same res as my 720p TV. Oddly enough, had a hell of a time getting my old Vaio laptop to output 1366x768, would be nice to have them share a native res.

Classrooms of the future to have multitouch desks, probably a few Terminators

Sep 18th 2008 12:09PM on Engadget

This is an awful, terrible idea. How long do you think the multitouch table will work before some kid finds a way to pour juice into it? A week? Tech at schools is always in a state of disrepair, you're going to have dead pixels, unresponsive parts of the touch screen, and networking issues. Teachers dont want to spend all day trying to fix the multiplication application, they would rather just pass out loose leaf and pencils.

More details on Dell's summer-bound netbook

You forgot the most important app for primary school kids: Oregon Trail.

Poll: Have Netbooks already jumped the shark?

Jun 3rd 2008 11:52AM on Engadget

You havent been here long, have you? If so you would remember the MBA, iPhone, and every other niche device engadget has creamed itself over...

Homebrew SNES emulator released for the Wii

Apr 21st 2008 10:30AM on Engadget

Nobody has yet mentioned that the Gamecube-based emulators have been working for a while now. NES, SNES, Genesis, and Turbografix were compiled on one DVD a while back. Every US-released rom, all playable with your GC controllers.

DARPA hard at work on nanomechanical chips

Mar 14th 2008 12:59PM on Engadget

Machines at the nano scale work very very different than machines at the macro scale. Also, there are certain advantages, such as resistance to radiation. Neat stuff, but I'm glad I got out of the industry...

Details on Archos 606, SFR 3G+ plan revealed

Mar 13th 2008 11:15AM on Engadget

Dear god I hope that Archos sticks to hard tactile buttons for volume, pause/play and track-skip. The mockup pisses me off with its touch-sensitive crap.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
