Sony Ericsson Rachael teaser video plays with our hearts {Engadget}
Oct 31st 2009 6:07PM I hope S-E put remote play on this baby, you know, the app that lets you control your PS3 (especially useful for those us using PlayTV i.e. a DVR feature), 'druther buy an android phone than a PSP (yeah, I know someone's hacked up remote play app for windows and mac but it's not the same, and you still need a PSP to get started).
How would you change Sony's PlayStation 3 Slim? {Engadget}

get hold of PS3 Media Server as it should be able to repackage MKVs into a container that the PS3 will play. http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/
however, I agree, the PS3 is very fussy about codecs and file formats. for example, when I use the beebhack get_iplayer to download programs to keep, the PS3 won't play them in the format intended for iphones, nor will it play flvs directory. I have a program which creates a web page and embeds the FLV with a flash player for the PS3!
Acer debuts 23-inch T230H multitouch monitor {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2009 4:40PM a few years ago I worked in radio communications, and the consoles they used at the communications centers (think police or fire station) were usually PC screens and then special button panels for different functions. They tried touch screens, but found that even when the screens were set into hollows in the desks, that the operators didn't like using them too much. For a start, pressing a hard screen all day instead of a compliant switch wasn't too comfortable, but the other effect was nicknamed "gorilla arm", the effect of having to hold your arm in the arm all the time in order to raise your hand to the screen. In the end, a compromise was reached - a keyboard for most of the activities, and the touch screen could be used for non-routing activities such as alerts and special features where a reconfigurable touch panel was ideal.

PURE's Elan II does DAB time-shifting on the go {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2009 10:57AM why are we not seeing DAB+ radios becoming available? maybe it's because the whole management of transition to digital radio has been cocked up by Ofcom and the UK government and they've left it far too late to act.
I listen to classicFM on dab and the quality is OK, but my radio is getting old and unreliable but I refuse to replace it with a non-DAB+ unit.
Archos 5 has 99 problems and a glitch is one, 160GB version pulled by Amazon {Engadget}
Oct 12th 2009 11:47AM archos devices are not particularly open - as soon as you want to do more with it they charge extra for codecs and s/w addons.
