Nov 2nd 2009 9:22AM Oh great, Wi-Fi is unlimited, how nice of them.
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries promise a lot, we'll see if they deliver in 2010 {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2009 8:17AM A lack of recharge cycles won't matter much, if they become cheap and easily recyclable. As zinc-air batteries are.
Google adds free turn-by-turn navigation, car dock UI to Android 2.0 (video) {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2009 10:21AM I guess this will test how complete google's map service really is. All satnavs have their faults, though. It'll also be interesting to see the pros and cons of route of having google's servers plan your route, rather than download the maps to your machine, and have it done there instead. You don't have to faff about with memory cards if you travel a lot, but if you find yourself somewhere without service you're screwed.
If it delivers, Garmin et al are gone, simple as.

Finland says that 1Mb broadband is a right, not a privilege {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2009 1:10PM Makes sense. Fast internet improves productivity, and almost everyone uses it, so you might as well use taxation to make a massive investment in it and reap the rewards for decades. I consider it a vital resource like water, gas and electricity are. Oh, and I think they should never have been sold off by Thatcher either.
I'm a socialist, lol.

Major labels show eagerness to fail with new CMX digital audio format {Engadget}
Aug 11th 2009 9:13AM I'd pretty much love this, as long as any format could be used with the wrapper file, and the wrapper had open documentation so the indies can get in on it too. So, you could have the sleeve notes as PDF, JPEG, SVG or whatever, and the music as FLAC or OGG. Could remove the problem of some players not having gapless too, the whole album could just be one continuous data stream (like CDs) with bookmarks.
I'd prefer that over a CD, which I currently buy tons of. I think my version will probably only ever exist in my head, though.
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.
