Engadget's back to school guide: E-readers (Engadget)

Aug 14th 2010 4:06AM @snowrid3r
Teachers aren't so forgiving. Your laptop crashed? Your printer ran out of ink? Your e-reader died? You should've been prepared.

One of the most important lessons to learn in college is to accept responsibility for problems that you certainly could have prevented. Always carry an extra battery or a charger with you, always keep back-ups, and always have a secondary way of printing out papers.

I can't see myself using an ebook for a science class. Sometimes, you need full-color diagrams or color-coded graphs. And it's hard to do homework when you can't quickly flip through a chapter, the glossary, or a bunch of tables for information.

When I took chemistry a couple years ago, I always needed to refer back to the periodic table, a table of conversion factors, and a table of thermodynamic information (e.g., enthalpy and entropy). I can't imagine that being an easy task on an e-reader, even with bookmarks and annotations in place.

Android 2.2 coming to Droid in 'late July,' Droid X in 'late August?' (Engadget)

Jun 28th 2010 12:40AM @pika2000 My guess is that, if they allow WiFi tethering with 2.2 on the Droid, they'll use the same pricing plan they outlined at the Droid X launch last week.

iPhone OS 4 renamed iOS 4, launching June 21 with 1500 new features (Engadget)

Jun 7th 2010 2:55PM It's 1500 new APIs and 100 new features, not 1500 new features.

I know Apple's insane, but not that much.

Yet.

Engadget giveaway: Win a TomTom GO 630 GPS pre-installed with Darth Vader's voice (Engadget)

Jun 7th 2010 12:44PM I've already got a GPS with the voice of GLaDOS navigating me to my doom, but if I won this TomTom, I know plenty of people who'd love this as a gift.

I wonder, which voice is more frightening?

Thanks for making a bunch of assumptions about me without any evidence supporting it. Great way to support your argument.

Twitter for Android: the best apps reviewed (Engadget)

May 8th 2010 6:25AM Thanks for the detailed write-up. I love the amount of depth you gave to the comparisons, especially with the point-by-point summaries in those tables. (It's nice to know which apps support which features, since I have my own preferences for those.)

I do agree that Twidroid is a great app, but it has a huge bug for me (on my Droid): Sometimes when I flick through the timeline, it'll briefly halt and then go all the way back to where it was "bookmarked" when I started up the app. It happens too often to me to just ignore, so I tried using the Twitter for Android app and found too many annoyances to stick with it for more than a few days.

After trying out a few others, I've settled on twicca, simply because it lets me color-code the people I follow. It helps me visually assess who is on what list, though I do wish it would include more color options by the time it's out of beta. I don't need nearby tweets, photo thumbnails (though it'd be nice), or multiple accounts; twicca so far runs the most smoothly and has the sleekest interface for my usage. I also like that its aesthetic reminds me of SlideScreen and my Zune HD.
