Mar 17th 2008 6:59PM No wifi? Duh? It's not a smartphone. It's a midrange phone designed for media and texting.

Mar 16th 2008 2:03PM Wow, can we say u740 without the vertical flip? Pft. It looks like a nice phone, but again Motorola, how about something revolutionary. God, the RAZR was really your deathbed.
Another Xbox 360 price cut around the corner? {Engadget}
Mar 5th 2008 4:03PM Absolutely, for some reason, I just can't picture playing GTA on an Xbox 360 - the PS3 controller just is more comfortable.

Mar 5th 2008 3:56PM @Evan,
You mean... members that are at an a/v form care aboue Blu-Ray? Let me go get you the Duh Stick! How about the average person? I don't have an HDTV and evne if I did, playing blu-ray movies doesn't get me all that excited. What people want is not going to be calculated what the nerds want on an A/V form.
I want great games from a GAME CONSOLE. Sony just hasn't sold me on that yet. Nintendo's Wii is FUN to play, but I'm worried about the single player value. The Xbox 360 has a great LIVE system set up and quality titles like Call of Duty and Halo. For the price, PS3 could do a whole lot better :( Maybe with more titles coming out I'll consider, but I can go ahead and clearly declare Nintendo the winnre of this console generation.
Microsoft speculates on ad-supported Sync {Engadget}
Mar 3rd 2008 12:06AM "And with that statement, I'm disregarding anything you're going to say because you're clearly out of your mind."
That was the point of the statement - to make an obviously ridiculous statement about how the ads will be implemented. The obvious method is to implement them as Points of Interest - which I'm completely against! I don't need McDonalds and Foot Locker flashing across my navigation just because I'm driving down freeway.

Mar 3rd 2008 12:04AM Yea, cause don't you remember that failure the iPhone? Remember when they dropped their prices due to how few phones they were selling? pft.

Mar 2nd 2008 6:58PM I lumped the navigation touch-screen into the mix because otherwise, how do they plan on sticking said advertising in. When I call for 911 Assistance, are they going to force me to listen to 30-second advert before calling dispatch?
If you're NOT going to link the navigation system, and just the current rendition of Sync - then what? When I wanna switch songs on my iPod will I have to listen to an ad? Or between calls will I have to hear about the current town I'm driving in to. I stopped listening to radio and solely to my iPod because of the advertising and song quality. I can pick what I want to listen to and NOT be bombarded with advertising every other song.
Call this FUD for me, but I'm wary about anything smelling of a major corporation ruining a technology that so far has been positive for the Microsoft and ford image.

Mar 2nd 2008 6:04PM Seriously? So when I go to use my navigation system or when I want to change a song I'll have to watch a 15-second clip for something I've already paid a $1500 premium. No thanks :)
The radio's commercials are understandable. They have to be paid somehow... and I don't listen to it. I use my iPod in my car.
Ford and Microsoft would regret this decision.

Mar 2nd 2008 5:45PM Don't worry, I'm sure the first lawsuit that arises because someone got into an accident, too distracted by the advertising will render this service defunct.
EU now formally opposed to TomTom / Tele Atlas deal {Engadget}
Mar 1st 2008 8:10PM @John,
which would make sense considering our more capitalist individualist approach and their more socialist approach. Not to mention, our approach is to worry about it when it becomes too big of a problem, but the EU's solution is to fine the shit out of it till it's no longer a player.
