Sprint Palm Pixi unboxed on video {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 12:58AM Yes, it does SEEM like a good deal for the hardware. However, given the $60-100 monthly bill you'll be getting to go along with it, it might makes sense to disregard the hardware cost, and just get the best device you can get.
Over the course of two years, the lower price of the Pixi will only account for 5% (or less) of the total cost of ownership. I think most people will be better served by a slightly more expensive device with better specs, such as the Pre, or either of Sprint's Android phones (HTC Hero or Samsung Moment).
Dell Adamo XPS coming 'in time for the holidays' for $1799 (unboxing and hands-on video!) {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 12:15PM I don't know if it's a Intel licensing thing or what, but pretty much every system with a CULV processor has the same integrated graphics processor. The upside is that it's actually a lot better than the old GMA950 that you find in most netbooks and really low-end laptops.

Nov 5th 2009 12:12PM You can get a thin and light CULV system with 9-hour battery-life for like $600. Why would anyone buy this hideous thing?
Michael Arrington's CrunchPad still not available, maybe never will be? {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 7:30AM A sub-$300 price-point for a touchscreen netbook with no keyboard is totally feasible. I've seen Dell Acer, and Asus selling netbooks for $200. I'm not entirely sure that anyone would actually buy such a device.
Do people really need a device between the web-friendly smartphone they already have, and the netbook they also already have? Perhaps there are some techophiles who like the possibility of yet another way to browse the internet on the toilet, but even they would be a hard-sell. For the same price as a netbook, would they be content with such a single-purpose device?
Josh is on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight! {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 7:11PM Josh lives in NYC, and Nilay lives in Chicago. It's much easy for Josh to stop by for the taping than for Nilay to fly in.
T-Mobile's Project Dark: $99.99 unlimited on Even More, $79.99 on Even More Plus? {Engadget}
Oct 21st 2009 2:38PM This is good news! Since T-Mo is a GSM carrier, you can pick up an unlocked handset, and actually benefit from lower pricing.

Windows 7 versus Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro: big cat's faster, 7 is better for games {Engadget}
Oct 16th 2009 3:08PM iTunes is a terrible piece of software, and there's no reason to use it for encoding. dBpoweramp Music Converter + NeroAAC is a much better solution.
Swordfish Net 102 Dual: the first netbook with twin Atom CPUs {Engadget}
Sep 30th 2009 12:13PM @Freak - The Mini 9 was discontinued a few months ago, but the hardware on the Vostro A90 is identical. The only real difference is the A90 is all black, as opposed to the black/silver Mini 9. It's a matter of preference, but I like the look of the A90 much better.

Sep 30th 2009 10:22AM Get a Dell Vostro A90. It's not the greatest netbook in the world (mostly because the keyboard layout sucks), but it's the easiest to install OS X onto.
