PSP Go lacks mini USB, compatibility with existing accessories, common sense {Engadget}
Jun 8th 2009 7:22AM Everything should have a mini USB port. Imagine if you only had to remember one cable, and it would charge and sync your phone, your mp3 player, your DS/PSP, pfft.
How would you change Canon's EOS 50D? {Engadget}
Nov 15th 2008 1:19PM To make a 15mp sensor worth having, you need ridiculous glass. APS-C cameras are prosumer by definition, so why would anyone buy L-series glass that can out-resolve this sensor? Besides, 12mp and 15mp is not a huge difference practically, if you want shots that can blow up onto a billboard, or still look good after drastic crops, well you're no better off. As someone pointed out, this is packaged with the 18-200mm lens. Not a wonderfully sharp lens, more a compromised holiday 'walkabout' lens. I would've preferred less pixels; the camera would've been faster (less processing to do) and better in low light. These would not be marketing gimmicks, they'd actually improve the usability of the camera.

...ahem. Anyhoo, this should be handy. I'm currently sharing a house with eight people, using a crappy router that really can't handle that much traffic. It'll be nice to have the option to download things overnight. It should be a great deal more efficient than using the website, anyway, seeing as the tech is based on torrenting technology.
Sigma acquires Feveon, maker of the X3 image sensor {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2008 1:04PM I've always liked the idea of this tech, maybe once people realize packing more pixels into CCD's and CMOS sensors is silly, this will be seized upon as the new way to improve on image quality. It should, in theory, gather light better, be sharper per-pixel, and reproduce colour more accurately. It's not really up to 'normal' dSLR sensors yet, but seeing as in the last few years there don't seem to have been any major developments, I guess it could be time for Sigma to take the initiative?
MSI Wind 9-cell spotted in the wild {Engadget}
Nov 3rd 2008 11:42AM Surely a few extra batteries/finding somewhere to charge up, is better than having that thing hanging off the back of your (otherwise) svelte netbook?
Nikon D90's 720p movie mode gets critiqued {Engadget}
Oct 26th 2008 3:12PM Rekit, the comment is a good example of trolling. That's why it's been low ranked.

Oct 22nd 2008 7:13PM To the guy who said blame the democrats... I think they are the ones who have been trying to rein in this extreme, unchecked form of capitalism. Yes, there is greed and short-terminism, that is the nature of investment banking and stockbroking. So, presumably, you can't blame the companies and businessmen involved, even though they may have been reckless. So you blame the goverment.
Takes a leap of logic to not blame the guy who was had been pushing for deregulation for his whole two years of his presidency, whose party backed him. Clinton and the Democrats kept a leash on them, and it worked. Bush changed all that.
Casio EX-FH20 high-speed cam on sale now for $600 {Engadget}
Oct 21st 2008 1:00PM Why make it so small, then bother giving it a grip and 'professional' styling? It just looks really awkward to me.

Oct 16th 2008 5:46PM Use an SLR for more technically demanding photography. Use a compact when you can't justify the bulk/cost. Where does this fit in?
