Wibree, Nokia's new standard, to replace Bluetooth {Engadget}
Oct 3rd 2006 4:06PM WiBro always sounded to me like something from the "men's bra" episode of Seinfeld. WiBree sounds even worse... Is having a universal standard (BT) really that bad..?

Samsung to release $700ish UMPC by end of year {Engadget}
Apr 13th 2006 12:33PM >we won't abandon this fledgling platform just yet.
Unless there is something I dont know about UMPC (unlikely) as of today April 13, 2006 no UMPC has shipped yet and hes talking about abandoning it Que fumas, hombre..?
Who is we, cuz we here are delighted with the practicality of UMPC. And we use Sony U71, Fujitsu P-series submnis and 1510 tablet every day, so we know what we are talking about
Samsung Q1 UMPC available for pre-order for $1,400 {Engadget}
Mar 31st 2006 6:52PM So, in the selling price in the US will probably be $1180 minus the usual 30% Expansys markup = eight hundred fifty something smackers. Not bad. I need it therefore I'll buy it.
Live from CeBIT: HTC Wizard vs HTC Hermes {Engadget}
Mar 11th 2006 8:08PM If the new fone is anything like the crap T-Mobile USA sells as MDA then thanx but no thanx. The MDA's Windows part is slower than death (even after tweaking the memory, apps, ROM, etc.) and the phone part is really bad - where a Nokia 6600 shows 3-4 bars signal strength the MDA shows zippity doodah, nada, nothing, no signal, no network.
Jet-powered VW bug takes to the street {Engadget}
Mar 6th 2006 9:24PM Neat, but I personally prefer the Jay Lenon jet motorcycle, to quote:
"the power for this sleek beast was a C18 Allison Rolls Royce Jet Engine, the same type used in a Bell Jet Ranger Helicopter! Jay also explained that this was a shaft driven turbine engine and was capable of turning at 60,000 RPM. (...) this bad boy puts out 450 ft/lbs of torquethe same as a Dodge Viper! The jet engine (mounted upside down on an aluminum frame) also produces a temperature of about 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit out of the exhaust pipe, so be sure and stand back when this baby is fired up!"

Virtual Vonage Phone Numbers let you set up lines in Western Europe {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2006 9:54AM I was not aware that Vonage gives you the ability to travel back in time and offer virtual numbers in the XIX century Europe. I'm sure that the good folks in parts of Prussia and Austro-Hungarian Empire will be delighted. Sadly, the eastern part of Prussia and the Kongdom of Naples and Sicily seem to be left out...Bad Vonage.
