Epson concocts world's first 4K HTPS panel, 4K 3LCD projectors closer to reality

Never, there's no point in having a 2800 DPI display...you wouldn't be able to make out the smallest details. They already make handheld displays around 300 DPI, and the pixels are already minuscule on those. I can't imagine any good reason to go much higher DPI than that.

PowerGenix NiZn rechargeable AA batteries: finally, some cells worth buying

Nov 9th 2009 2:08PM on Engadget

Wrong, mr "engadget". These batteries are 2500 mWh, NOT mAh. See the many posts above you, but basically:

PowerGenix = 2.500 Wh
1.25V * 2500mAh = 3.125 Wh

Notice the Wh stands for 'Watt-hour', not 'watt' as you wrote.

ASUS O!Play AIR HDP-R3 arrives with WiFi and card reader

So your TV is causing an audio sync problem, and your solution is to have every single playback device have an option to work around it? That seems a little backwards to me.

Garmin's new aera series gets you there by air or by land

Actually the GPS on an android phone will give you directions via walking or via public transportation. Things like walk to the bus stop, take bus #123 to the train station, take the red line and get off at stop 16th&Market, take bus #456 until such and such intersection, get off and walk to your destination.

Screen Grabs: Palm Pre isn't helping things be any less miserable on 'Heroes'

Yeah...almost as open as android, where you can distribute your app without even talking to Google. You don't even need them to check if it's malicious or not...there's no enforced gatekeeper at all. (sure, if you want to get it into the Android Market there's a little more hoops to jump through, but that doesn't stop you from throwing it up on your own website or selling it through one of the competing android stores).

iLuv's $270 i1166 portable multimedia player finally shipping next month

I dunno...my dad bought a TV that will play stuff from iPod Touch, but specifically states is not compatible with iPhone.

The whole point of this box is for people who obtain media from other sources.

I'm 99% sure it does upconversion, since the older cheaper model does. It will stretch whatever video file you give it to whatever resolution you want. I have mine upconverting everything to 1080p. It's even smart enough to auto switch to 1080p 24Hz mode for 24fps video files.

More like $350-$400 once you factor in the cost of the BDROM. And I got the previous model for $210 I think. So it's quite a jump in price range.

same here...mine transfers files at about 30-40mbit/sec which is painfully slow. My network and HDD can easily handle 10x that speed, so it's obvious the bottleneck is the device.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
