Sony Ericsson Pureness caught in the wild {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 4th 2009 3:51AM Is it just me - but is a faded monochrome hard-to-read screen a bit of a bad idea?
If you need to see what's behind the phone - just move it a couple of inches.
I never did understand the appeal of see-though screens such as in Minority report. You think screen glair is bad - what about having to deal with reflections and seeing things behind your monitor as well. Something that looks cool as an observer - but impractical as a user.
How would you change Canon's T1i DSLR? {Engadget}
Jun 15th 2009 12:59AM I have one, love it. Wouldn't change a thing for the photo modes.
Video is a great feature and nice to have as an option when you are carrying around a DSLR. I put that to good use in Yellowstone. I could get great pictures of the colorful springs, and cool video of the geysers while only carrying one camera.
I'd bump 1080p video to 24fps. 720p 60fps would be a bonus - but I won't get greedy at this price point.
Add AVCHD as a video format option and allow for adjusting the bit rate.

Feb 19th 2009 12:14AM El Capitaine, you haven't been to a recent 3D movie have you. They use polarized lenses now - the colors are normal.

Pioneer's TAD shows off a new Blu-ray audio format at CES {Engadget}
Jan 12th 2009 1:01AM The thing I couldn't pick up from the story - is this intended to be compatable with existing video Blu-Ray playback equiepment?
Since current Blu-Ray players such as the PS3 can playback audio tracks sampled at 192kHZ 24 bit over HDMI - is there a need for another format? The press releases say they will be using 192kHz/24bit DAC's for the demo - so it does not sound like they are exceeding current technology.
Is this simply a new label to indicate high quality audio from recording to playback using existing Blu-Ray technology? I'm not getting it.
Looking forward to it though. I'd love to see high quality "box sets on a disk" or high quality surround mixes as well.
Poll: Are you intrigued by in-home 3D technology? {Engadget HD}
Oct 4th 2008 5:31PM I wouldn't mind seeing 3D display technology as well as consumer digital 3D still and video cameras - that would be cool.

Poll: What's it going to take to make you buy a PS3? {Engadget}
Feb 28th 2008 3:02PM I was slow to get my coupon in the mail, so no - havent' got mine back yet.
I have a friend who sent his off in the fall and got his movies recently.
Poll: What's it going to take to make you buy a PS3? {Engadget}
Feb 27th 2008 2:45PM I bought mine in January just after the Warner announcement, before the end of the Winter 5 free BRD offer. I bought it mostly for the BRD capablility (The last console I owned was an Atari 2600) but I have found myself enjoying the games - mostly the $10 ones bought online.
I was wasn't so sure I'd like using a game console as a movie machine, but it has proven to be a great one and it boots much much faster than my Toshiba HD A-20 that I got last spring. I have also had less problems with the HDMI/HDCP handshaking with my projector than I have with the Toshiba.
