Microsoft rumored to be allowing third-party Xbox 360 hardware {Engadget}
Jun 26th 2008 4:53PM I don't know about you guys, but this almost makes me want to dig around in my garage for my old 3DO system, hook it up, and run a couple laps of Road Rash.
LG Chocolate 3, press shot style {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 26th 2008 2:50PM Looks a little pudgy to me.
NHK demonstrates 8K display: 16x more detail than 1080p {Engadget HD}
Jun 20th 2008 10:02AM I have a 1080p projector with a 106" screen, and it's sharp as a tack. You'd need to go to 200"+ to see a big difference at 8k. Who has a wall big enough for that?
Verizon rolling out visual voicemail in coming months {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 17th 2008 2:48PM Hmmm... Apple and AT&T change their exclusivity agreement to some undisclosed new agreement, now Verizon is rolling out visual voicemail. What's next?
iPhone launching on a CDMA carrier in Jamaica -- huh? {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 16th 2008 7:38PM I don't get it. Sure they could be owned by a GSM provider, but everything on MiPhone's site is CDMA - the phones, the network, the roaming partners, everything. So there is certainly an extensive CDMA network there. Is there much of a GSM network there as well?
DISH / EchoStar keep fighting back, sue TiVo again over DVR patent {Engadget}
May 30th 2008 9:36PM I really don't care anymore, as long as my Dish DVRs keep working. They can sue each other for the rest of eternity.
Apple patents systems to warn of impending dropped calls, track down your keys {Engadget}
May 29th 2008 1:58PM This patent makes a whole lot of sense given that U.S. iPhone users are stuck with AT&T crap service. This feature will get a LOT of use. Even though it's redundant because you can already tell when your call is going to get dropped - once the voice starts cutting out and getting garbly, it's only a matter of time my friend.
Blu-ray players to outsell DVD decks by August? Not likely. {Engadget HD}
May 28th 2008 6:37PM Because no form of streaming available today matches the bitrate of Blu Ray. In many cases not only is the compression greater, the resolution has been reduced too. It's particularly noticable on larger TV's.
Blu-ray players to outsell DVD decks by August? Not likely. {Engadget HD}
May 28th 2008 6:09PM I seriously doubt this is true. I'm known as the tech guy among my circle of family and friends, and I've helped several people pick out HDTVs recently. They all chose to go with a $60 upscaling DVD player instead of a $400 Blu Ray player to go with their new TV, and they are extremely happy with how upscaled DVDs look now. I don't think any of them will pull the trigger on Blu any time soon. I have a feeling this is true of many people.
Ask Engadget HD: HD projector or HDTV? {Engadget HD}
May 21st 2008 3:18PM I have the previous generation Epson 1080 in a dedicated home theater room, projecting on a 106" Da-Lite hi contrast screen, and the picture quality is SUPERB, particularly from Blu-Ray on my PS3! My guests say it looks like I have a massive plasma hung on the wall. Sometimes I have to point out the projector in the rear of the room and they are surprised.
