Video: Samsung's 12 megapixel WB1000 rocks analog gauges, 3-inch OLED

Jun 11th 2009 7:40AM on Engadget

Do the gauges return to zero when the camera is off, or do they stay in place?

Would be useful to check memory and battery quickly without turning the camera on.

Standard RAID controllers are bootable right?

I would expect these to be as well. If it isn't, then to put it bluntly, they suck.

Archos 5 firmware adds GPS car holder support, new file browser

Apr 11th 2009 3:46PM on Engadget

I've been wanting the GPS cradle for my 605 for a good 6 months now. It's been so long that I gave up checking for availability, seems they are actually in stock at some stores now here in the UK. Took them long enough.

Sling's $50 rebate on iPhone-compatible boxes rendered useless by stupid pricing

SanDisk fesses up to 16GB microSDHC and M2 memory cards

Sep 29th 2008 5:18PM on Engadget

@chefgon_ign: Dumped about a 9GB of MP3s onto one of these when I got it. Didn't take long, 20min or so, can't remember. Certainally wasn't hours.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued.

Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
