Greenpeace takes a break from issuing reports to vandalize HP corporate HQ

Jul 29th 2009 9:12PM on Engadget

HP should turn this around and create positive publicity by planting a green roof on this building.

Magellan intros 4.7-inch RoadMate 1475T PND for $299

That's rather expensive, considering the specs. Here in Korea that would get you a high-res 7-inch model with DMB.

Time Warner and Embarq can't compete with city-owned ISP, trying to outlaw it

This sick thing is, I pay about $50 a month for 100Mbps internet and digital cable in Seoul. God bless population density.

Sony's XEL-1 OLED TV spotted at Sam's Club for $1,748

Whe I worked at Best Buy about 10 years ago in high school we always eneded open box items with something other than 99 cents. Could it be marked at $1748.51 because it was returned or a demo unit?

Hyundai readies Elantra LPI Hybrid for 2009 Korean launch

Jul 9th 2008 9:01PM on Engadget

The Korean government commissioned some Kia Pride hybrids in 2007, which were probably used to test the technology that will go into the new Hyundai Elantra hybrid (Avante in Korea.) As I've never seen a wagon version of the Elantra/Avante in Korea, I think their LPG hybrid will probably be on a sedan platform.

Unfortunately this technology will never make it to the US. There simply aren't enough filling stations with LPG.

Nikon D700 spy shots and info piling up

Jun 25th 2008 8:31PM on Engadget

Why would you put a DX lens on a camera with an FX sensor? The lens mounted on this supposed D700 is a Nikon 18-200 VR, a DX lens which can't take advantage of the rumored FX (full frame) sensor handed down from the D3.

Samsung and Armani HDTV hits the stage in Milan

um... Somebody drank the Samsung Kool-Aid.

LG adopts in-plane switching tech for new LCD HDTVs

Mar 24th 2008 12:27AM on Engadget

Harrie is right. LG's main panel supplier, LG Display (formerly LG.Philips LCD), has been a part of the IPS consortium since the organization was formed. I'm pretty sure that none of LG's TVs use VA, rather than IPS (S-IPS, actually).

LG.Philips announce 0.78-inch ultra-slim 42-inch LCD -- available March!

For some official clarification, MathGeek is correct. It is a mere 0.78 inch thick, not 7.8. The real breakthrough here is achieves that thickness using a CCFL backlight rather than the MUCH more expensive LED alternative. In other words, this panel makes it possible to make a really thin LCD TV that doesn't cost a fortune.

The hundred gadget giveaway: round 37

is fake chocolate better than the real thing?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
