Weird Toshiba FCC filing suggests -- of all things -- a WinMo flip? {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 5th 2009 3:13AM So the Moto i920 & i930 are unicorns? I wouldn't consider a WinMo flip that rare. There just isn't a market for a fat flip anymore, and that's exactly what any WinMo flip would be - fat.

Feb 11th 2009 3:34AM Hmmm, tried with Opera and IE Mobile from my phone. The FTP server doesn't have the MIME types set to handle .cab files.
You'd think Mozilla of all people would be aware of such things.

Jan 19th 2009 12:12PM If you're mentioning the GSM world variant going through the FCC, why are you showing the label off of the CDMA EVDO model? *scratches head*
Sprint delaying HTC Touch Pro by a little bit {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 17th 2008 1:51PM This isn't news. Sprint released a memo on the delay almost a month ago. It's been pushed back until Oct 24th (Friday) to allow for delayed shipments from HTC to arrive from China and be distributed to all channels for a symmetrical launch.
Goto your local Sprint-owned store Oct 24th if you want it immediately.
Oct 19th the following phones are confirmed for released and most stores already received their shipments of: Samsung Rant, Samsung Highnote, LG Lotus.
Ask Engadget HD: What's the best graphics card for my HTPC? {Engadget HD}
Sep 10th 2008 12:17PM Right now I would suggest keeping an eye on getting a half-height card that includes (or manufacturer offered) low-profile bracket. As current MediaCenter Hardware is getting small enough to fit into tighter cases and still provide the function of full towers, the growing trend right now is making "cable box" sized HTPC's.
Look for the Chaintech 512MB GeForce 8600 GT, Model GSV86GT. The KFA2 9600GT low-profile card is too power hungry for most MediaCenter use, but the 8600GT from Chaintech doesn't require additional power and works great. If you want to put it in a slimline case then you can order the low-profile bracket from Chaintech directly for 10$ (includes shipping).
And last, I recommend Nvidia over ATI for HTPC use because PureVideo HD is just a better looking software video processor in my opinion.

Leaked Dell laptop brings the sexy {Engadget}
Jan 15th 2008 7:11PM Well I'm leaning toward being fake because not only does it show Luna window frames it has a Win98 taskbar. And the glare of the screen is wrong.
This picture appears to be a 90% successful photochop.
It is most likely an unbranded ODM prototype that wasn't turned on. Some eager beaver added a desktop image and created piss-poor glare to represent a lit display and slapped a Dell logo on there with an extra layer of light source to shine the logo. Also pay attention the the right bottom corner of the screen. The shadows don't line up along the right or bottom edges of the frame agains thte screen.
Engadget shouldn't put "leaked" when it's a fake. Usually Engadget discourages rumor-mongering. You guys know better.
Plus, I remember seeing an image of an Acer prototype like this about a year ago when LED backlighting was the big design buzz. Can't remember where it was but I'm sure someone else here will have a saved image or link to it.
I think I'm losing faith in Engadget here if they're going to start pushing out photochops from random forums as news.
