Chime in on the HTC video driver controversy over at Engadget! {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 23rd 2008 2:43PM Uhh, what sense would it make to support "high-res" video on the TyTN II 320x240 QVGA screen? Anyway, perhaps this isn't really HTC's fault. After all they didn't design the ATI video circuitry. So maybe we should turn to the maker of the operating system for an answer on this issue.
AT&T to get Kaiser as 8925? {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 30th 2007 5:15AM Hi, I live in a third-world contry (with US-compatible 3.5G nevertheless) and will be travelling to NYC in mid october. I would like to but an HTC TyTN II and bring it back home. This will mean of course either buying it unlocked or unlocking it afterwards.
My questions are quite straightforward:
If I buy the non-contract version from an AT&T store, is this a completely unlocked phone that can be used with any SIM and GSM carrier, or is it just available for AT&T prepaid service?
If not -or if for any other reason it's a better idea- can anybody recommend an over-the counter store in NYC where I can get an unloocked OEM? It would be specially nice to have the option of the front camera.
It seems it does not have a standard 3.5mm headphone plug, but uses a mini-USB RAZR-style connection. Does it include an adapter? If not, any suggestion for getting one? Will the ones for the RAZR v3i be compatible?
I use Mac OS X, but I refuse to get an iPhone with the current state of Apple/AT&T imposed restrictions. So any Mac-centric tips regarding connectivity and activeSync workarounds would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank You very much for your help and sorry if some of my questions are very newbie-ish.

Keepin' it real fake, part XXII: iPod nano 'MP4' player {Engadget}
Apr 29th 2006 2:29AM I have one of those, except it has a screen, and actully holds 2 GB. The firmware is really shitty, not easy to use. Perhaps in Chinese it's easier to understand the UI but in English it's sort of amateurish... and I don't just mean the language. For example, when scrolling up and down menus you use the left and right buttons: weird. Transfer is slow, probably USB 1.0 speed. It's also frustrating that it has a non-standard headphone connector and, since it has an "almost" standard mini-USB, why didn't they just use the standard one?
