iSlate specs "revealed." We also have a bridge to sell you.

Jan 4th 2010 3:18PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

First, the second bullet is missing a period and the whole "now refreshed" tagline is a bit awkward. Also, they spelled "analogue" wrong. This is America. We write it as "Analog". Also, the must not realize that 802.11N has been out of draft spec for some time now. And why would Apple market a new USB SuperDrive specifically for iSlate? Would it not be compatible with the existing MacBook Air SuperDrive?

These are European fakes. Nothing against Europe, but Apple is right here in the heart of America, The Silicon Valley!

Tethering for the holiday traveler

Dec 22nd 2009 1:58PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Although I agree with all the comments about native iPhone tethering being superior, I read that one of the "bonuses" of the native tethering is AT&T knowing exactly how much data you use on a tether and when you do it, however with a jailbroken app like PDAnet or iPhoneModem, all the data transferred appears as regular, non-tethered data. For this reason I have never used the native tether since I have had it activated for fear of AT&T charging and or terminating my account, and unfortunately as an iPhone developer it is against my developer agreement to jailbreak.

Any thoughts?

More than one way to stream Bluetooth

Just bought one. $23 shipped, brand new. I hope the quality is up to par with my Bose Lifestyle system...

Google Phone / Nexus One makes first Twitter appearance? (update: new pics!)

Dec 13th 2009 12:38PM on Engadget

As soon as I saw the post about this yesterday on Gizmodo I fired off and email to my good friend who works at Google. She had told me before that this time, the phone was actually something to write home about (she hated the G1, loves her G2) and, like last year, she expected to receive one for christmas. I am waiting with bated breath for her email, but until then it's up to you guys!

Their video is the FIRST fun-mazing demo video I have ever seen.

Comcast takes control of NBC, promises not to crush Hulu

Dec 3rd 2009 7:38PM on Engadget

Comcast won't crush it like a bug. They aren't afraid of bugs- just look at their cable network. They will crush it like it were a SWARM of bugs ATTACKING their FACE and GENITALS.

Microsoft shifting internal focus to Windows 8 in July 2010

Dec 2nd 2009 12:42AM on Engadget

I wonder what Mac OS 9 and 10 will be like... Oops, did I say Mac? I meant Windows 9 and 10, of course. Because Microsoft invented the computer.

Yo quiero.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
