Microsoft Touch Pack brings Surface experience to Windows 7 {Engadget}
May 27th 2009 10:38PM I've been playing with my latitude xt with windows 7 and all the multitouch and 7 is definitely a step above vista for tablet pc's/touch.
the on screen keyboard being multitouch is great, can press shift+a letter just fine (4 touches at once actually) and the IE features for scrolling are really nice but the zoom doesn't reflow right and looks kind of crappy.
I'll probably still end up using the pen most of the time, but it's a pretty decent touch experience and if added to more with third party support could end up being awesome.

May 5th 2009 8:53PM Doesn't look that small...

Sharp Mebius NJ70A import now up for pre-order at Dynamism, LCD trackpad in tow {Engadget}
Apr 24th 2009 3:06AM I had a toshiba satellite about 5 years back that had a black and white lcd as the touchpad, was actually very nice, you could literally see where the scroll bars were, and if you tapped the upper corner, you got a calculator, media controls, and a couple other neat things.
it could even play b/w GIF animations as a background

Nikon's D5000 up for pre-order at Amazon {Engadget}
Apr 18th 2009 3:01PM It's almost all about the glass... though some of it is the body features.
I'd take a old used Canon 1D (4MP) with a 24-70 2.8 L lens instead of a 15MP rebel/D5000 type camera with the kit lens.
Another benefit of spending most of your money on the glass is that if you buy used, you don't even really lose any resale. I've sold many lenses for about what I paid, which means I've gotten to try out lots of lenses to see what worked best for what I'm shooting.

SanDisk showcases new Ultra Backup / Cruzer USB flash drives {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2009 1:00AM You know, I love Sandisk's products, except for their USB drives. Just what we need, a backup button that will come in as some shitty "Unknown Device" with driver popups on every computer you plug it into. I've already avoided them for the U3 mess. I know it can be removed, but it just pisses me off.
