The 2006 holiday season? That's right now, isn't it?
This is rubbish. I'm with the majority of all the other posts - the money is the best thing about Monopoly.

Oh - thanks for the link Brandon. I'm going to print out about £100,000 worth of bills and have them stuck up my sleeves for the next game on Christmas Day.
Man - that was a big sentence. Take a deep breath, Cole!!
RacetrackOwner:

I laughed out loud at your comments on another thread - the one to do with Skype being cracked in China. It's a bit of a disappointment to me now to see that you would be top of the dangerous cocks and dicks list.

What's the difference between an "incorrect" result and a "wrong" result...?
The Palm OS is just complete rubbish now. What we need from the new owners is a total rebuild, retaining the same ease of use and stability but with things like an inbuilt Skype client, DECENT FONTS, proper browser, etc.

And before all you Palm fanboys accuse me of bias and loving Mr Gates, I love Palms - had a T, T3 and now a T5. However I don't use it because the Palm OS on it looks like a relic from the 1970's.

Oh - and can we please have a decent bit of hardware, too? What about the classic Psion clamshell layout - with a keyboard - then the Palm people would be onto a winner. We've had the small tablet form shoved down our throats, and with the biggest hyped-up waste of space disappointment ever - the Origami - failing miserably, the world is still crying out for a small portable PDA with a keyboard. Or at least I am.
Jkelly,

If you have a huge monitor, then fair enough - fill that real estate.

However if you are designing websites and applications for the real world (where corporations are mostly unwilling to equip their staff with anything grander than a 17" crt) then anything bigger than 1024x768 is going to pi55 people off.

Just think about Miss Jones in accounts trying to run her weekly accounts on a web application, using her little 15" lcd monitor.
I'll bet it's an enormous brick like every other Nokia phone.

Why can't they make something small and slim - then I can put it in my pocket easily without creating the sort of bulge that would make John Holmes blush.

Engadget should run a competition that anybody who actually understands the phrases above should be given an award for "continued readership in the face of complete nonsense."
The correct phrase is "could NOT care less". If you "could care less" about something, it means you DO actually care about it.
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."
