Windows Mobile 7 'Maldives' test program reportedly on track for Q1 2010 release to OEMs {Engadget}

Nov 10th 2009 9:03PM Here's me hoping that Microsoft comes out with an iPhone and Android killer OS.

Competition... the only thing that lets consumers win.

First iPhone worm rickrolls jailbroken phones {Engadget}

Nov 8th 2009 11:06PM If those 4 iPhones are jailbroken with SSH enabled and the default password (especially after reading this post), then you deserved to be hacked.

Entelligence: Heads I win, tails so do you {Engadget}

I agree with you, and they deserve to be downranked. I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about factual statements that show little to no bias.

Ok, look at it this way. Take the following two hypothetical posts:

"The Droid is great."
"The iPhone is great."

At this point in time on Engadget, one of those will be ranked down, and the other will probably be left alone (or even ranked up). No factual data (just opinion), no difference in presentation.

It changes... a few years ago it would be a different story, so I'm not saying that Engadget is totally and always anti-Apple or anything like that.

My point... there's too much fanboyism here, and it needs to stop. And the down-rank should be used for "incorrect", "offensive", "poor attitude", etc. Not for "I disagree".

Nov 8th 2009 7:44PM And another thing I wish would stop: being voted "Lowest Ranked" just because I mention the name of certain products. Not making them sound wonderful, not making the competition sound bad, just mentioning the name.

Nov 8th 2009 7:41PM I wish it would die. Engadget comments are around 90% fanboy-kill-fanboy, 10% actual worthwhile reading.

Verizon takes another swing at AT&T, puts iPhone on the Island of Misfit Toys {Engadget}

Nov 8th 2009 4:20PM @ohfor... There is no iPhone in any of the ads. It's *close* to the white iPhone, but there's no Apple logo on the back.

iPhone vs DROID multitouch keyboard showdown (video) {Engadget}

Nov 6th 2009 8:50AM @arcticpenguins... Funny, I thought that was pretty much the whole point of the article, comparing the keyboards.

But my bad, how dare I suggest something *could* perhaps be slightly a little better than the DROID! Hell, I might as well have posted ASCII art displaying an iPhone...

Nov 5th 2009 6:48PM Strange, mine doesn't usually unless in Safari loading a page or something... too many users are having inconsistent problems, I hope Apple fixes it soon.

iPhone vs DROID multitouch keyboard showdown (video) {Engadget}

Nov 5th 2009 6:43PM It's ok. But I was able to easily beat you on my iPhone (around 3 seconds faster), same phrase.

That's not to say that it's a problem... 3 seconds out of 17 isn't going to kill anybody, and I bet the physical keyboard is better.
