Is Apple shooting in the dark to fix iPhone 3G issues? {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2008 8:23PM As an ambulance operator I drive all over the Chicago area, and all I can say AT&T has the most dropped calls. I have a 3G iPhone and a Sprint phone, nonetheless I get better signal on Sprint. Well I get 1 bar to no signal on my iPhone in the shady areas, and as for Sprint I get 3/4 signal almost everywhere. I thought AT&T stated that they have the fewest dropped calls, or is there something wrong with the iPhone.
PS3 to upscale DVDs, says Phil {Engadget HD}
Mar 3rd 2007 1:25AM Do not forget about upscaling some of the 720p PS3 games, we need a 720p/1080i/1080p upscaler for PS1, PS2, PS3, and DVDs.
Blu-ray surpasses HD DVD in disc sales for the first time {Engadget}
Feb 24th 2007 4:15PM Just to let you know I have an Xbox360 and I will never purchase a HD-DVD player. Therefore, I bought a Blu-Ray player.
Do you not see why Microsoft had released the HD-DVD player? Because they know majority of gamers are “fanboys” and do stuff without reason. They knew it if they would release it then fanboys would buy it without thinking. Microsoft knows that Blu-Ray is better; however, they want to defeat the PS3. The Xbox360’s HD-DVD drive does not even have a HDMI input, therefore the entire signal will be in 480i/p on component and 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p through VGA, however, not all TVs have a VGA input and 1080p VGA is a long shot.
Even though your Xbox360 can be set on 720p and 1080i/p, however, movies cannot be displayed on those signals through component, all the movies will be downscaled. This is to prevent people from making copies of the movies, since none of the recorders feature a VGA, therefore, only VGA can display in full 720p and 1080i/p.
Do not forget when the HDCP kicks in within one or two years the Xbox360’s drive will be useless, since HDCP works only on DIGITAL input.
Do you not see many gamers are fanboys and would do anything to support their product without thinking; this is Microsoft’s (all gaming industries) advantage over consumers. Microsoft had released a shitty (non-future proof) product to cut down the costs, and they knew even if it was shitty, fanboys will still buy it.
“as an added bonus the 360 HD-DVD works nativly with Vista and XP no drivers needed” - Nyk0n @ Feb 24th 2007 1:10AM
Now that is bullshit, you do need a driver for it. I also believe pirating is illegal and people should not go to prison for it, since it will be overload, however, they should get their equipment taken away and get a $100,000 USD fine.

Universal poised to hop onto the Blu-ray bandwagon? {Engadget HD}
Feb 8th 2007 12:47PM PORN!!! What is the world coming to? Go get a life, hobby, girlfriend, boyfriend, or play some sport. JESUS CHRIST!!! WTF!!! Porn is a scam to make shitload of profit; it is waste of money, and indecent. Porn would be useless in HD, I hope Universal switches sides ASAP so Blu-Ray can win and block all porn.

Feb 8th 2007 12:41PM BD expensive so do the math
What, I can do the math; however, you forgot to mention the Xbox360s price. Remember, Xbox360s HD-DVD drive is useless without the Xbox360 itself. Nevertheless, Xbox360s drive does not play games, and if an update will let it play games, then your second drive would be useless, what a waste of money.
