New webOS screenshots pop courtesy of SDK's emulator {Engadget}
Apr 29th 2009 4:12AM Interesting it's running in Sun xVM VirtualBox, an x86 virtualiser. So WebOS must be compiled for x86 in the SDK.
WebOS Netbook time!
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic software update available: faster, better, updater {Engadget}
Mar 30th 2009 5:37AM I think that's a little unfair. My N95 received an update recently even though it's a few years old now.

Apple rumored to be turning iTunes into a DRM-free music store UPDATE: Not anytime soon {Engadget}
Dec 9th 2008 6:06AM Is it really that big a deal? I know all my (non Apple) devices can play AAC files perfectly.
Dell's 22-inch S2209W monitor to reach Full HD resolution? {Engadget}
Sep 24th 2008 5:04AM Are Windows 7 and/or Snow Leopard going to have resolution independence? Cause some of these monitors strain my eyes with their tiny writing as it is, let alone with HD crammed into 22" - I hope the new OSs make it easy to resize everything.
Bandwidth restraints hindering New Zealand's Freeview HD expansion {Engadget HD}
Aug 23rd 2008 1:09AM Actually they did consider whether to make it terrestrial only. But they found that it would be sub-optimal - the shorter wavelength UHF signal required for digital does not propagate as far as the VHF signals. There will always be areas of NZ that just can't be viably covered by terrestrial signals due to its hilliness. Satellite always works as long as you can see the right area of the sky. Believe me they wouldn't have spent all the money having two different broadcast systems if they didn't think it necessary.
It was decided also that they couldn't do just satellite as this would require everyone to get a satellite dish where as an aerial -> aerial upgrade path makes more sense and it is more likely that manufacturers would integrated DVB-T into their televisions.
And they didn't go MPEG-4 from the beginning for satellite because people had already bought DVB-S boxes because TVNZ had been broadcasting one and 2 for some time over MPEG-2.

Aug 5th 2008 5:11PM @Mark is right.
It's Vodafone with an f, not Vodaphone with a ph. (Heh even my Firefox spell check knows it's wrong.)
Yeah it's only a trademark but the misspelling always annoys me.

BlackBerry Media Sync for iTunes makes all-too-brief appearance {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 30th 2008 12:48AM FYI, Nokia makes something very similar called Nokia Multimedia Transfer that syncs your Nokia device with iTunes.
Unfortunately it is only available for the Mac (but it works great).
