PowerGenix NiZn rechargeable AA batteries: finally, some cells worth buying {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 2:09PM Talk about a fluff piece. There are more words setting up the battery review than the review itself. The only info about the batteries is that they used them for "months on end" without losing capacity, and they got 300-400 flashes out of them. No info about how long they take to charge, starting and ending voltage measurements, storage loss (esp. compared to eneloops which are getting very popular), nothing.

Oct 1st 2009 8:33PM @David S: No, no, no, that's a request to YOU the customer: "Come" with all those things if you want to buy this. Notice the lack of an "s" there. And yes, imagine a smiley at the end of this post.
Coby's netbooks seemingly real, taking pre-orders {Engadget}
Aug 27th 2009 8:38PM That's what I thought right away, too. They probably meant 1024x600. If it's really 800, that might be a reason to buy one. Those 600 vertical pixels are a real pain with many dialog boxes and even some web pages.
Duracell announces myGrid wireless charger, WildCharge feels a little KIRFed {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2009 2:12PM Exactly. Now if battery manufacturers could miniaturize this enough to include it right inside the battery, that would be a different story. If small enough, I don't even see why anything other than batteries should include the receiver. That way you could also lay spare batteries onto the pad to charge, without having to insert them into a device with a built-in receiver.

Acer and ASUS reportedly freeze netbook releases until 2010 {Engadget}
Jul 28th 2009 1:35PM I wish they'd do one more iteration on the 1005HA. It's an almost perfect machine but lacks a better resolution on that display. 600 vertical pixels simply suck for modern GUIs. Oh, and put in a bigger panel that eliminates that damn wide bezel.
How would you change ASUS' Eee PC Seashell line? {Engadget}
Jul 17th 2009 11:31PM Oh, come on! The only thing the 1005HA lacks is a decent resolution!!!!!! Give it 1280x720 or anything along those lines and it's an effing perfect $350 machine!
HTC Magic supports Exchange, Google says Android doesn't {Engadget}
May 15th 2009 12:10PM Touchdown is nice because it plays well with WebDAV. The sad fact is that many corporate environments will explicitly disable Exchange mobile support for all sorts of spurious "security" reasons, and because most tend to standardize on BB for mobile email. But since most also enable OWA (and hence WebDAV) for outside access to corporate email, that still leaves an opening for us non-BB folks to get our mobile email fix. Sure, no push email, but with 15min polling it ain't that bad, either.
