The second Xbox 360 revealed: codename Zephyr {Engadget}
Jan 5th 2007 9:15AM Thought process: Okay, maybe I should Ebay my existing box and then buy 'Zephyr' when it busts out. Or, once I go through all the trouble of selling my box, I could spend just a liiiiiitle bit more, and bring on some sweet Blu-Ray action via PS3. Hmmmm....

Palm Treo 750 for Cingular launching at CES {Engadget}
Jan 3rd 2007 2:41PM apeguero - Blackjack is shockingly incompetent compared to the Treos. 1/2 the processor speed, 1/3 the battery life, 1/2 the screen size. Sure, the treo is larger and less glamorous, but it's about 3x more usable. I'm gonna vote for useable every time.
Cingular to take on AT&T name as buyout approved {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 3rd 2007 9:16AM Okay, so I just changed over from my old AT&T Wireless plan to Cingular. After which point my old Treo 650 no longer works with my new Cingular sim. So now we're flipping back to AT&T. Oy vey...
HTC Cavalier does battle with Samsung's i600 {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 29th 2006 3:01AM The Blackjack rocks out on a 200mhz processor - significantly slower than the i600 and the Cavalier. And it is a slow, inaccessible POS that goes out the door fully charged at 8 am and runs out of battery by 3. So pretty much any phone would beat it on a head to head. YAWN.
Palm delays US Treo 750 into oblivion {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 27th 2006 8:41PM To Anthony (post 7) and all you palm haters - Palm is loved not because of the Palm OS or because of their particular brew of chunky ugliness, but rather because they create interfaces which make the information on your device imminently more accessible. I picked up a Blackjack last week, hoping to replace my Treo 650 with a slicker and more lightweight alternative, and boy was I dissapointed. It doesn't matter how thin or sexy the package - if you can't use the device to interact with the information you need, then it's all a waste. The WinMo Treos are, like their Palm OS siblings, quite simply the most accessible and intuitive PDA/phone combos out their.
Sure the Treos could have wi-fi, or weigh 2 oz., or only be 1 mm thick, but get real. Wi-fi equipped phones are exceedingly rare in the U.S. market, and the thin and light windows smartphone edition phones really do suck compared to the user-friendly Treos, etc. Nokia E92, 8525, Dash - all great options. But there is a time and a place for everything - and that most certainly includes the Palm offerings as well.

Intel announces specs, production dates for Classmate PC {Engadget}
Sep 28th 2006 5:11PM I've got a great emerging markets laptop idea: Celeron M processor, full version Windows XP home, 512MB RAM, 40GB HD, CD Burner, Wi-fi, 14" WXGA LCD display - all this for only $499. It's called a Dell B130!
Either an extra $100 dollars buys you an exponentially more useful laptop (at a profit on the open market!), or Microsoft and Intel are getting together and finding PR-friendly ways of further screwing emerging markets. Which one is it?
