Zeebo heading to Brazil in May, India and Russia next year, China in 2011 {Engadget}
Mar 24th 2009 8:51AM Consoles are taxed as "gambling equipment" here, which is a ~90% import tax over the cost of the product plus shipping from the factory. Add to that the ~50% local taxes that apply to every product (that apply over the price of the product + shipping from factory + import taxes + national shipping, and some of them apply over other taxes) and the profit for local sellers (they need a high profit margin due to the ridiculous expense for having employees) then you get those ridiculous values.

Jan 15th 2009 12:11PM If it's a FullHD TV set, it has to be 1080 pixels tall. This would mean 2520x1080 in this case.
More details of Tectoy's Zeebo 3G gaming console emerge {Engadget}
Nov 17th 2008 9:27AM In Brazil? At least US$250, usually more. This is cheaper than a PS2 here, actually. Game consoles are considered "gambling equipment" (yep, stupid, I know; only the government doesn't) for customs, so they are taxed at least 80% (plus state taxes).

Nokia buys Symbian, turns software over to Symbian Foundation {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2008 8:27AM Actually, they will use the EPL, which is accepted as an "Open Source license" by the OSI and as a "Free license" by the FSF. It's GPL-incompatible, but you wouldn't expect GPL extensions to it, anyway. Of course, software running under an EPL OS can be GPL'd.

Nokia's iPhone -- no, seriously {Engadget}
Aug 29th 2007 12:48PM @Todd
From a picture of a work-in-progress you can already tell it doesn't improve, even with Nokia constantly making the best phones out there? I'm quite sure this phone will not be tied to a single carrier on a single country, and that it will have the top mobile technology they can get on it (HSDPA/HSUPA probably), and an open OS in which you can actually install stuff without resorting to third-party installers (AKA Symbian).
AT&T customers seeing sudden boost in EDGE speeds? {Engadget}
Jun 29th 2007 10:35AM Actually, if you get over 200 kbps, it's defined as "3G speeds". The fastest Edge networks are indeed (barely) 3G, and it seems like AT&T has just joined that group of 3G Edges.
