Media server software capabilities charted for your easy reading {Engadget HD}
Aug 17th 2009 4:15PM There should be a quality column in that table. PlayOn beats TVersity as far as stream quality is concerned. Also, there are a couple plugins that let you import RSS feeds for PlayOn.
Verizon's BlackBerry Tour coming July 12th, pre-order page now live {Engadget}
Jun 30th 2009 1:38PM @Anticrawl, I believe the Storm is the ONLY Verizon model that works with Google maps. GPS on the 8830 and 8330 is only available to VZ Navigator and Blackberry Maps.
PlayOn media server adds local media browsing to go with Hulu & Netflix, goes on sale for half price {Engadget HD}
Jun 29th 2009 2:54PM The only downside to PlayOn is that it doesn't stream in HD. Other than that, viewing Hulu and all the other Plugin content from playonplugins.com makes it well worth $20.

MadCatz's Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit up for pre-order {Engadget HD}
Dec 19th 2007 7:41PM Here is the product sheet, says it will do full 1080p. I wonder if it is just converting from XBOX to VGA to HDMI all in adapter. In my opinion still not worth $90.

Logitech needs to fix the Harmony {Engadget HD}
Dec 18th 2007 10:34PM Just got a Harmony 720 at Costco 2 weeks ago. I agree that the wizard is annoying for customizations, but the initial setup was very easy. I haven't actually used a 880 or 890, but from looking at them in the store, I like the layout of my 720 better. The buttons aren't so close together. The wizard did use discreet codes for input modes even though my Sony TV remote only has one input selection button. As for the discrete power codes, it would be nice if the wizard used them instead of toggling, but it is easy enough to customize or just hit the help button and it should turn everything on. I actually like the help feature, it's easy enough for my wife to use. If you want to control devices, just hit the devices key then turn it on or switch inputs or whatever you may want to do.
Overall I am very pleased with my remote so far, but i would like to see some enhancements to the software, specifically in the area of customizations.
I find using http://members.harmonyremote.com slightly less annoying than the software that came with the device.
