Kodak V570 gets iced for Oscars

Mar 2nd 2006 1:04AM on Engadget

Andrew H is completely right, Kodak is getting massive publicity out of their 100k, global poverty be damned!

It is kind of similar to what DeBeers did in 1930s and 1940s when they gave diamonds to actresses at Oscars to raise value of diamonds in public's eye.

Anyway, I'll take RW and for the spare cash pick up something' like this older camera:

Lenovo 3000 budget computer series debuts

Feb 24th 2006 3:58AM on Engadget

I must have just fallen off a rock, since when did Lenovo (whoever they are) are taking over Thinkpad line? Is this something like Lexmark IBM split a long time ago? Or is it more like Benq taking over Siemens mobiles?

Now, 99% of all notebooks are made in China, so let's not hold grand illusions on the Thinkpad's superiority, but TP was a bit nicer than generics.

Still seems people tend to overvalue their Thinkpads, just like this guy at my site:

Personally, I can't stand the pointing devices on Thinkpads and much prefer touchpads.

Baby Rock Star T-shirts

Feb 1st 2006 11:23AM on ParentDish

Those shirts look pretty funny.

However, did you say $18-22 per shirt. That is just a bit too insane to pay for a baby shirt.

Make the price a bit more reasonable and then maybe.

Combi's "Roanju Auto Swing" maglev baby rocker

Feb 1st 2006 11:19AM on Engadget

Winning over parents with concerns about radiation will be hard. Yeah, I know maglev doesn't have radiation, but most parent's don't know that.

How about making a rocking chair for adults?

Closest thing on my site I could find relating to baby stuff:

LCD magnets write their own poetry

Jan 28th 2006 8:35AM on Engadget

Biggest problem would be cost.

Sure as an artististic statement they might be kind of cool.

But for mass markets, the cost has to be way down. I am thinking $1-3 per magnet at most.

Meanwhile I think people will stick with these regular ones:

The AlphaGrip AG-5 brings mad keys to a game controller

Jan 10th 2006 9:24AM on Engadget

Seems like learning curve on that monstrosity will be steep. Probably take a couple of weeks to learn to use it. And what will be the point?

I am not convinced there really is a market for such a device.

At least racing wheels such as this have a very definite (albeit limited) purpose:

General purpose controller would have to. Perhaps that new upcoming Nintendo controller will solve all our problems (unlikely, I know).

Hands-on with the Motorola ROKR E2

Jan 4th 2006 7:20AM on Engadget

I am sorry but while Motorola ROKR E2 looks decent enough, I do not see how it will be able to compete with Nokia's N series phones.
Seems Motorola hasn't learned from the E1 debacle.
For example on my site there is hardly any interest in ROKR E1: http://www.bidera.com/cgi-bin/us/emaximarket.cgi?action=item&item=24099

On the other side demand for N90 and others Nokia models remains strong.

mimi 721: the minimalist's iPod

Jan 4th 2006 7:02AM on Engadget

This is yet another in the trend of disposable MP3 players as clothing accessories. Personally, I think it is near worthless (almost as worthless as with only 128megs, then again my SO is still using a 128MB MP3 player (not wearable just a USB drive), so I am certain for some people the size is enough.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
