Tamron announces 15x zoom lens for Nikon, Canon DSLRs {Engadget}
Aug 1st 2008 2:05PM I've used a 18-200 from Tamron on a Canon XTi on vacation in Europe... and it is a great travelling lens. Sure its not as capable as a specific lens... but fringing, and distortion was not all that bad considering the versatility of the lens. Zoom creep was horrible because of the weight of the thing though... the zoom lock was mandatory when not using the lens...
Overall they fit a great section of the market...a person wanting a single lens to cover a huge range of effect without having to pack a huge amount of glass around.
I for one welcome our huge new zoom overlord! (but... am holding out for a Sony/Minolta mount). ;)
Dr. Dre's Beats headphones keep they heads ringin' for $350 {Engadget}
Jul 22nd 2008 1:46PM if related to Monster, there's another sale that would go away...
I have no interest in subsidizing their mystical magic copper mining somewhere off the 4th moon of Jupiter or wherever they think they're getting that copper that warrants those prices...
Maybe the magnet materials are coming from Pluto or something... that should make them worth $350 right? right?
I'll stick with my Sennheiser's for on-ear (the Grado's are too uncomfortable for long wear), and my Shure's for in ear. And I'll probably be happier for it too. :P
Sony cutting 80GB PS3 price to $400 in September, ditching backwards compatibility {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 6:30PM If IR is such a dinosaur, why are all TVs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, stereos, and such shipping with it still....
Hmmm... looks like have a little Jurrasic built-in would go a long way in making people happy... isn't that the end result of a company's efforts with products... making their consumer's happy?
Get off of the BT high-horse, and come down here with the rest of us and sniff a little reality.
Besides... I'm more than a little choked my Harmony and my PS3 don't like playing nice with each other... and in no way do I blame my Harmony for that situation. :P
Mobile Demand proves its xTablet PC can be used as a hammer {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2008 12:35AM it probably will... just depends on how nice you want the slices to look...
this would more... mash you out a piece than slice. ;)
Sony kicks out more jams with DR-BT140Q Bluetooth headphones {Engadget}
Jun 16th 2008 2:08AM that must be the power cables....
I jest...
probably a cable to link the Left and Right channel together.
Who knows with that pic though... leaves a lot to the imagination. ;)
Canon EOS Rebel XS lands, shoves XT aside {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2008 2:16PM you can catch a glimpse of them on the side, or angles... better than just the viewfinder at that point...
a pivot or swivel would have been better.... but then some complain about that because it makes it weaker design wise by having the hinge/pivot.
no matter what you do... someone will complain. ;)

Jun 10th 2008 1:29AM you obviously didn't get the memo from the companies trying get more and more people into dSLR's. Taking it out of the pro-sumer realm all together.
A sub $500 camera is hardly anything professional (when you get get an ultra-zoom p&s for the same price maybe).
I'm all for more price points in the dSLR range. pro, beginner... whatever.

Jun 10th 2008 1:03AM odd... you answer your own question on why it needs to exist in your attempt to get people to consider other options.
Yes... the 40D is a better pro-sumer model....
but...
That is like saying apples taste more appley than oranges. Why duh, of course... they're apples!
This is an entry-level digital SLR. Not a pro-sumer, not a pro model... entry-level.
And I'm sure its very appley too. :P
However... I'm with the people wishing for the $500 tag.
I just picked up a Sony alpha200 for around $450 w/ the kit lens. ENTRY LEVEL goodness. ;)
iPhone 2.0 free in early July for all iPhone owners, $9.95 for iPod touch {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2008 2:54PM How about we compare it to my Samsung T2 touchscreen MP3 player... I've gotten 3 firmware updates that have added oodles of features and there's 1-2 more planned... every single one... F R E E.
Yup... keep working that Apple route folks. I'll just keep enjoying my T2.
iPhone 3G is finally official, starts at $199, available July 11th {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2008 2:46PM speculation...
better WiFi, and signal strength for the phone radios. Some metal covers can drop your signal strength...
