Keyport Slide review (Engadget)

Aug 17th 2010 8:19PM This would be extremely useful if I still use keys. Unfortunately, I don't need keys to start my cars, nor do I use a key for my home, so it's useless for me :-(

Clear iSpot review (Engadget)

Aug 10th 2010 2:56PM You might be able to use an additional portable wireless router to gain access to the iSpot. Most router allows you to change its MAC address in its admin screen. So, you can just assign an iXXX MAC address to thr portable router, then connect the router to the iSpot. Your devices will then use the portable router for access.

HTC fires back at Apple antenna demo with percentage pew-pew (Engadget)

Jul 17th 2010 8:33PM Here comes a new math concept. Apple's percentage is less than everyone else's percentage. For example, Apple's 0.55% is less than HTC's 0.016%, or to express in math:

0.55A% < 0.016H%

iPhone 4 vs. Galaxy S, part deux: HD video playback (video) (Engadget)

Jun 26th 2010 5:16PM >> http://www.engadget.com/photos/iphone-4-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-displays-at-full-brightness/#3119715

The pair of photos above reveal a problem with iPhone 4's high pixel density. Yes, you can have a high pixel count. But that doesn't change the fact that the physical size of the text is smaller. When viewing web pages, physical size of the text is every bit as important as the pixel density.

Mac mini (mid 2010) review (Engadget)

Jun 19th 2010 4:52PM The biggest problem is the heat of the hard drive. No matter what Apple does, it's not going to change the fact that modern high density hard drives run hot. The mini, obvious, barely has enough cooling power. It may be enough to cool the hard drive running for a while, but unless you can cool the drive down further, it will probably die much sooner than a computer with more cooling mechanism.

The Droid X gets real on Verizon (update: 720p video capture, not display) (Engadget)

Jun 17th 2010 2:15PM @vasra

If 720p display becomes a norm, be ready to the return of 4"+ screen. At 326ppi, the iPhone is selling you something we barely need. A 12px font is roughly around 1/27 inch tall. How many of you can read text at this size without zooming? Of course, if you zoom in, you will have to scroll more. Even on my Droid, I rarely find myself reading full desktop website without zooming.

The Droid X, if its resolution is the same as the Droid, with its bigger display, may actually do a favor to the user -- we may actually scroll less.

Apple CDMA iPhone 4 rumor given new wings (Engadget)

Jun 17th 2010 9:44AM Stop dreaming, folks. Didn't you guys read the source:

"Pegatron will be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) on June 24 and currently has products lines including notebooks, desktops, IP-set top boxes (STBs), cable modems, games consoles, LCD TVs, digital music players, handsets as well as new products such as tablet PCs and e-book readers."

That company is going public. What else can make the price of its stock go higher by a secret iPhone deal rumor?

Quote me on this -- if you see AT&T promoting Android phones heavily, then you know its exclusive deal is going south.

Microsoft considers a Zune Pass price drop (Engadget)

May 27th 2010 11:48PM I have no intention to get a Windows 7 phone. I will stay with my Android OS. But I want Zune. So, anyone working for MS on Zune, read this -- there are people willing to pay for Zune even though they are not using a MS device. Bring me an Android app for Zune, please.

Counterpoint: fragmentation won't destroy Android after all (Engadget)

May 27th 2010 6:04PM I don't think it will destroy Android, but no matter how you look at it, it's not a pleasant situation. I can "buy" the notion that it's not an issue of fragmentation but an accelerated legacy. However, the mobile market is not like the PC market. In the US, customers are almost always tied to a carrier for 2 or more years. If I buy an Android 2.1 handset today with a new contract, I am basically stuck with it for the next 2 years. If there's not a 2.2 upgrade, the only way for me to acquire one is to sell my 2.1 handset, then buy a 2.2 one. That's A LOT OF WORKS to a non-tech savvy consumer (and a lot of money.)

Apple pulls the plug on 'Get a Mac' ad campaign (Engadget)

May 21st 2010 1:52PM Folks, that's refocusing -- look at the numbers. Apple is doubling down on its mobile devices. Over time, it will spend less and less on the Mac.
