ASRock ION 330HT-BD nettop gets unboxed and cracked open on video {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2009 9:44PM The $200 Revo is single core. For a fair comparison, you need the $330 Revo.
At that price, The ASRock has 160 GB more HDD, and a DVD drive.
Acer has Win7 and smaller size (maybe less practical depending on where you want to put it).
Poll: Will the DROID have you in its clutches? {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 12:43PM Would love to have one, but no GSM roaming capability is a dealbreaker for me.
Poll: Did you like the new show V? {Engadget HD}
Nov 5th 2009 12:50AM Well actually my DVR was *supposed* to record it, but the POS known as DirecTV HR21 of course failed to do it - even though I had told it to when it said there were conflicting recordings scheduled. God I hate that box!
Bang & Olufsen's BeoVision 10: something awesome in the state of Denmark (update: video!) {Engadget HD}
Oct 19th 2009 1:54PM All they are saying is that the TV is designed with "wall placement" (vægplacering) in mind, while not making the slim frame compromise the sound quality.
Google Voice iPhone app rejected, current GV apps lose connection with iTunes {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 28th 2009 1:48PM Actually, wouldn't it *help* AT&T in most cases?
If you are calling other AT&T customers using it, there is no Mobile-to-Mobile freebies!
Motorola Endeavor HX1 ears-on {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 25th 2009 5:51PM The speaker in the Q7 is fantastic.
Because it sits so snug in the ear, you could probably operate a jackhammer and hear people just fine.
As far as people hearing you it's a bit more of a mixed bag. As Engadget said, people will say you sound a bit strange - some think it's a robot clone of you speaking. How you place it in the ear also greatly affects the sound. My ear-canals are apparently fairly big, so I have to be careful placing it, or the "baloon" with the bone-conduction mic doesn't get good contact. If it's not seated right, people can't hear you at all.
Motorola Endeavor HX1 ears-on {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 25th 2009 11:54AM The bone-conduction tech, and the no-loop-around-the-ear mount came from Nextlink.
Looks like Motorola basically added th regular microphone based headset to get the best of both worlds.
Of course the Moto designers made a butt-ugly device, but I guess thats what you get with them.
I use my Nextlink Invisio Q7 in a convertible on the freeway, and people just hear a background rumble.
Regular headsets are completely useless in the car!

What happened to Motorola's bone conduction Bluetooth headset? {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 31st 2009 2:55AM The tech works. I was one of the few who managed to get a Q7 - it rocks!
Or rather, it rocked. It no longer works, so I am waiting for Moto to release one!
Comcast zipping Extreme 50Mbps internet to Bay Area {Engadget HD}
Mar 9th 2009 5:06PM But even the highly populated areas get crappy speeds and high cost.
The same goes for cell coverage. It's horrific over here, and it costs a fortune.
