Verizon confirms DROID tethering cost, will ask subscribers to double-down on their data plan {Engadget}

Nov 6th 2009 9:09AM That's not really fair to those of us with MobileBroadband accounts who only get 5GB for $60 a month. Obviously I would be happier if they sold me the same 5GB for $30 a month since I have never gone over but at very least they should give us 10GB for $60 plan.

Sony's VAIO X ultraportable gets gently unboxed on video {Engadget}

Nov 3rd 2009 1:48PM So, it's exactly like my Sony VAIO P, except more expensive and bigger with a lower resolution screen? I'll stick with my VAIO P.

Considering it has more or less then same specs as the P and larger I don't understand why it costs more.

Next-gen Atom N470 to relax netbook spec restrictions slightly further {Engadget}

Oct 27th 2009 2:26PM My VAIO P has an Atom chip and 2GB of RAM.

AT&T Mobility CEO suggests iPhone exclusivity will end... sometime {Engadget}

Oct 23rd 2009 7:26PM I really don't see the exclusivity ending until LTE rolls out nationwide. Really, who are the options for this to go to? Sprint? Hah. Verizon, maybe but that would require developing a completely different iPhone from the rest of the world just for Verizon. I think that would require a significant commitment from Verizon which they don't seem inclined to do at all. That leaves T-Mobile, but, again, that would require a significant redesign of the wireless portions to access T-Mobile's at this time small 3G network.

Sure, AT&T's relationship with Apple seems rocky but AT&T's footprint and frequencies allow them to easily manage one iPhone design that they can ship worldwide which can't be underestimated from a cost and management standpoint.

That said as far as other product lines go I don't think the same case holds true, when Apple starts offering integrated WWAN in their laptops (Which in my opinion is way overdue) or launches a new product line like the mythical tablet I think Verizon has a very good shot but as far as the iPhone goes I think it's going to be AT&T until LTE.

Verizon launching Storm2 on October 28 for $179.99? {Engadget}

Oct 23rd 2009 2:48PM "as powerful"? Isn't the goal for the second version to be more powerful?

Netflix, Best Buy deal brings Watch Instantly streaming to even cheaper Blu-ray players {Engadget}

Oct 20th 2009 10:49PM I spent that much as more than this player cost at the bar this weekend and I get all my blu-ray disks from Netflix, if I get a year of of Netflix streaming and blu-ray rentals from it I will consider it a deal.

Netflix, Best Buy deal brings Watch Instantly streaming to even cheaper Blu-ray players {Engadget}

Oct 20th 2009 9:52PM Hmm... I've been contemplating getting either a Roku box or a blu-ray player with Netflix for my bedroom. That coupon is real, I just printed it out. $100 for a Blu-ray player with Netflix is a compelling deal. Hopefully some reviews will come out pretty soon saying it doesn't suck and I swing by latter this week and pick one up.

JVC SP-FT is a drool-inducing, 31mm thin home theater speaker system {Engadget}

Oct 14th 2009 10:00AM Looks like it time to replace my SoundSpace 5.

Windows 7 sold early at college bookstore, order somehow maintained {Engadget}

Oct 9th 2009 7:20PM Is it really that big of a deal? Anyone who really wants it has it through the RC program and the RC will far exceed the time needed to acquire the retail copy.

Don't get me wrong, I am running the RC on my computer and have a pre-order for the upgrade, it's a great upgrade but it's not like there should be people just dying to get their hands on a copy at this point.

Sony VAIO X announced, starts at $1,299 {Engadget}

Oct 7th 2009 7:45PM So it's a VAIO P with a bigger screen? I have a VAIO P and absolutely love it, but it's specs are only forgivable because it is pretty much in a league of it's own when it comes to portability and functionality, This only has a larger screen but smaller screen resolution than the P, 1366 x 768 vs 1600 x 768, other than that it is basically identical.

If it had better specs than the P I could understand it but, what is this, a P for people with bad eyesight?
