Mobile Edge intros TSA-approved ScanFast laptop bags {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 9:09AM I just asked a TSA manager who lives next to us about these bags. She said, and I quote "forget about these bags, we are STILL going to have you pull everything out".. She went on to say "No TSA person is going to risk letting something through and getting fired over it, so we'll look at those bags and just laugh".
Sony cutting 80GB PS3 price to $400 in September, ditching backwards compatibility {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 10:15AM Our PS3 is being used so much for movies and gaming, we are actually considering a second one. Crazy, I know....
I can't find an 80GB PS3 anyway in retails stores.. on-line only maybe?

Jul 11th 2008 9:39AM VoiceDialing Software
Am I the only one who wants this?
Dialing that phone while doing other things... a good VoiceDialing software, like those found in WinMo devices for the last 4 years sure would be nice.
The Bill Day giveaway (part 3) - Zune 80GB (black) {Engadget}

Lenovo's X300 sees price cut, you'll see it ship eventually {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2008 10:10AM The X300 uses a 2nd Generation SSD. I've handled the SONY & the X300. There is no flexing from the X300, the Sony's display and keyboard flexed enough that you have to be careful not to damage the unit.
X300 also offers customization, don't want the DVD Burner, swawp it out for a battery that extends life to 10 hours. Now, for screens.. x300 13" vs. 11.1"... bigger is a better here for me.
The X300 Keyboard is a million times better than the SONY. When you live and work 10+ hours.... it's these things that make the difference.
Cheers

DirecTV purchases installer & service provider 180 Connect {Engadget HD}
Apr 24th 2008 11:58AM You can't control what you don't own. I think this is a first step in improving a really bad situation.
It took five visits from an Installer to get a problem with reception worked out. The second tech smelled so badly of body oder and bad breath I sent him away.
The installers came from three different companies (Saint Louis, MO). That was two years ago. We are now down to one company and hopefully DirecTV will purchase them. As sub-contractors, the companies have no real vested interest in helping DirecTV succeed.
We shall see....
Medion's Akoya Mini takes aim at the Eee {Engadget}
Apr 23rd 2008 10:35AM * Don't be surprised to learn that HP produces this for Medion.
* Medion is a "reseller" and uses various vendors to produce "one-off" products.
* Keep an eye on your Aldi ad (if you have one in your area). I wouldn't be surprised to see one appear in limited quantities.

AT&T picks DISH as new best friend {Engadget HD}
Apr 4th 2008 6:18AM I've phoned my local telco (SBC, now AT&T) two times in the last couple of months for billing questions.
In December they begged me to subscribe to DISH.
In March they begged me to get Uverse.
They are friends of DISH unless they offer Uverse in your local area. No surprise.
FYI, I'm in Saint Louis, Missouri.
