Engadget's Holiday Gift Guide: Digital Cameras

Dec 15th 2009 10:44AM on Engadget

@briguyd Yeah, I was surprised I didn't see any mention of the K-x anywhere else (comments or article). Features to price I think it beats every other entry level/upper entry level DSLR out there.

Stantum's unlimited multitouch meets Mini 10 in a fight to the death (update: now with WiFi, Bluetooth)

Nov 17th 2009 7:02AM on Engadget

I'm guessing (hoping) that this as a proof of concept device, it's only meant to show manufacturers the capabilities of their technology, in which case all what it really needs is what they've left in there: the multitouch screen. I hope we get to see their multitouch again in a more capable user-oriented machine though..

ICANN set to allow non-Latin characters in domain names, half the world rejoices

well I don't know about russian or greek, but for arabic we have a service (at www.yamli.com) that automatically transliterates from english letters to arabic.
For example if I wrote alarabiya (or al3rabiya for that matter :P), it'll convert it to العربية for me.. I thought it was kind of cool :P

Rumored Sony Ericsson "Kiki" handset isn't a boring one

Around these parts for arabic speakers, it's children's slang for poop. Like if a mom wants to ask her little kid if he's used the bathroom, she'd use the word kiki...

Somehow I don't think this product name will go down well around here...

Raon Digital's netbook gets official, goes by Everun Note

Are you sure? I didn't see an express card slot or mini usb on the main unit

Raon Digital's netbook gets official, goes by Everun Note

actually, it seems to be a power brick/expansion box, similar to the voodoo envy. If you check out the read link they mention a expansion slot and put the following:
"Expansion Slot
2xUSB host, 1 x USB mini, 1x mini PCIExpress Slot, USIM card slot &l"

Dell Studio 17 and Studio 15 review roundup

Jun 28th 2008 8:29PM on Engadget

I like the way slot-loading drives feel more robust than the traditional pop-out tray, I just wish there was a way to make them work with those cool mini-cds and mini-dvds out there (which I use occasionally..)

Video: Casio EX-F1 SuperSloMo is astounding...ly small

Apr 2nd 2008 7:52AM on Engadget

Actually, this camera does take HD video. According to the official specs it's at '1920 by 1080, at 60 fields per second' I don't know why they use the word fields, but I'm guessing it means the same as frames.

LG's Venus now available from Verizon -- Voyager QWERTY on Wednesday

wow, 7 replies and only one of them about the actual post...

Wal-Mart sells out of the $200 Linux gPC

Nov 13th 2007 6:02PM on Engadget

Actually I sort of got the feeling that most users who bought a $200 computer as their main computer (as in they don't have another windows computer to use), aren't really going to want (or in many cases be able) to install programs, be it on linux or windows. What comes with the OS is what they're going to use.
I know it's hard to believe, especially for the type that would frequent a site like Engadget, but I personally know people at that skill level.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
