Believe it or not, it wasn't that long ago when sensible discussion was reasonably common on engadget. Perhaps they could have managed their success a little better.

The techno-fetishists will be very disappointed when they realize this site is actually about a 60's sitcom starring Sally Fields.

FWIW, I'm in Australia with an iphone I unlocked from Telstra running on 3 and I've had no problems with 2.0.1. Head on over to the mactalk forum:

Can't believe that I had to trawl through this many posts to find a useful comment. Thanks Luke :)

I'm not so sure about this commonly touted argument about prices.
While in the short term Blu manufacturers discounted some players to compete with HD DVD, ultimately it is volume that is going to drive prices down. Higher volumes make it cheaper to make the players, whereas the discounting we saw was a strategy to gain long term market share, with minimal profit on each sale, which is eventually unsustainable. This war has significantly delayed widespread adoption of hi def players - a lot of people were scared of being betamaxed. I think most of us are aware of how miniscule hi-def sales remain compared to DVD.
Blu ray manufacturers will compete with each other. This is why we saw DVD player prices tumble despite being an unopposed format.

Canon, can you PLEASE standardise your model names.

Ixus850IS=SD800IS
Ixus900Ti=SD900
Ixus75=SD750
Ixus70=SD1000
Ixus950IS=SD850IS
Ixus860IS=SD870IS

These names may make sense to someone at Canon R&D but to the general public they are extremely confusing.

Since the winner is selected randomly, do I need to enter a clever comment, or can it be something lame like this?

@adam
paloooz occasionally gets upset if you drop one of the "o"s from his name. Methinks he is a language pedant. Truth is, English is full of inconsistencies, contradictions and silliness. Fortunately, if a phrase is in common use, it becomes accepted. For example, where I come from, an acceptable response to paloooz would be:

Get a dog up ya!
