iPhone 3G from AT&T: unlimited data for $30 {Engadget Mobile}

Wilmington, NC to become first test market for 2009 analog shutoff {Engadget HD}
May 8th 2008 9:37PM So do the digital converters have any type of amplifier in them, because seeing as the digital signal comes in or it doesn't. At least with analog you could put up with a little fuzz on a channel. Now the second you would hit fuzz on analog, you get nothing with digital. Hopefully the FCC allows the use of more powerful towers once the switch happens. Same problem with HD Radio. Hit that borderline and boom, no more music, where it might be a little staticy on analog.

Windows 7 to arrive next year, says Bill Gates {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2008 12:06PM Well, the Internet wasn't as widespread and accessible when XP first debuted. I'm sure that has a lot to do with making Vista "look" worse with people having more open forums to complain and moan. I personally think Vista is great. I run x64 Ultimate and it's fantastic. The only few problems I had at first were with 64-bit drivers, where the party at fault there is the software/product creator for not making 64-bit compatible drivers.
I also put Vista Home Premium on an XP machine with the Vista capable sticker and it works great, really fast too after SP1. I did add 1GB of RAM to the machine to the original 512MB, but I did that with XP still installed and any machine needs at least 1 GB these days anyways...
