Samsung unveils Blue Earth, a solar-powered mobile phone {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 12th 2009 5:34PM shouldn't they launch a solar-powered cell phone in a country with a more equatorial climate, and hence more sunlight year-round?
MEMS gyroscopes rumored to hit array of phones in 2009 {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 12th 2008 4:30PM i *think* apple used linear accelerometers in the iphone, but placed them near the edges so that when you rotate the phone about it's center of gravity, the accelerometer at the edge feels the linear, tangential acceleration and the software interprets that as rotation.
MEMS gyroscopes rumored to hit array of phones in 2009 {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 12th 2008 4:26PM accelerometers and gyroscopes both sense acceleration. the difference is that accelerometers typically sense linear acceleration (like freefall when your laptop falls to the floor, or rapid deceleration like when your car hits a wall at 60mph), while gyroscopes can measure angular rotation/acceleration, such as spinning or tilting (yaw/pitch/roll in an aircraft, for example).

Microsoft's XP for low-cost PCs defines some boundaries {Engadget}
May 10th 2008 4:00PM if they really want to compete with Linux, they should give XP away for free.
they've already made tons of money off it, and they have other cash cows (vista, office, etc.) to keep the shareholders happy. they've already spent 99% of the money on it that they're going to spend over the support life of the OS, so instead of killing it (which they were going to do in June) and not make any money off it, why not give it away and not make any money off it? don't make it open source, but give it away for free. that way you get the consumers in developing nations hooked on windows, so that when they're looking to upgrade they'll be more likely to buy vista because they're comfortable with windows. call it an investment with no up-front costs.
just my opinion.
