@sirphunkee I'm just happy there is video of it, even if it is shaky, and blurry. I'm glad they posted it.
very good robot bill and ted 'esque
I wanted to see the Mac dump the box and say that she couldn't bring any of her old programs with her.
your right, they should also get rid of bluetooth, wifi, email, contacts and a clock, because its media / gaming hardware

come on, its not a gaming / media device anymore than a pc is. Its a computing device that has many functions. A camera would be a welcome addition. and I think they are fools for not adding one, because the buz is now on what the iPod touch doesn't have rather than what has been added.
glasses free hdtvs will be available soon, but I have seen both, and the screens that require glasses look much better and are more practice. The tvs without glasses require you to be positioned in one of only a few angles in front of the tv. Ok for 3d signage and watching alone(granted your furniture layout permits) but not great for having a bunch of friends over to watch the game.
Funny you should bring that up. Sony, at the NAB trade show was showing off the RealD tech with their hardware, and having a panel discussion with the director of U23D. he was talking about directors are finally getting the idea of 3D being used to further the psychological effect of a shot, rather than having things just jump out at you all the time. He also was sharing some of his thoughts on shooting and editing techniques for making 3d easier to watch.

Directors are starting to get it, and that's the most important part of making 3d movies work, and not be a gimmick.
After seeing the 3D TVs based on realD tech, at The NAB trade show last spring, I was sold. Sports look particularly impressive. Its like your there, in better than the best seat in the house. I cant wait for 3d at home! All it will take for 3d to take off is putting 3dtvs in stores as demo units. Once people see for them selves they are amazed at how good it looks. Forget any past experience with 3d, RealD has greatly improved the experience. Its no longer a gimmick.
at least at&t cant stop apps like this from being approved
The rep from real d told me that every other line of resolution is a different picture. or in other words, the light coming from the tv is polarized differently, alternating every line of resolution. While the combination of the pictures is 1080p, that is being split half for each eye. it works very very well actually. No headache for me. I cant wait for broadcast 3d sports! Things have come a long way since the paper, colored anagliph glasses.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
