Save a little on your existing AT&T iPhone plan {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 24th 2009 6:30PM "This post is being linked to from Engadget and 10 other blogs."
Maybe those eleven other blogs need to wake up and quit doing that.
Save a little on your existing AT&T iPhone plan {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 24th 2009 6:24PM I like the post's Update, to paraphrase: "turns out this is all a poorly-researched lie. Go trawl the comments to find out why, because we can't be bothered to put it here."
Too much to ask, I suppose, to either ax the post or edit it properly.
Lifted tutorial code winds up in $0.99 App Store tennis game {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 9th 2009 10:38PM Plenty of recompiles in the appstore. Most of the bubble level apps do little more than the sample code in the SDK. I recall that I saw a periodic table of elements app that is the Elements sample app. Not only a rip-off, but imagine the level of support you're going to get from someone that can only compile someone else's code.
Sirius XM iPhone app is now live, streaming {Engadget}
Jun 18th 2009 3:35PM I have an online sub that comes with my prepaid account. Now they want *another* $3/month for the iPhone app. So, no, being able to stream through a web browser does not mean necessarily mean one gets to stream via the app.
Sirius XM iPhone app is now live, streaming {Engadget}
Jun 18th 2009 3:29PM $3/month for existing subscribers? When I get web streaming for free? Bah, knew I shouldn't have fallen for the prepaid XM two years ago. When that runs out, I'm done with Sirius/XM.
DIRECTV2PC actually goes live, for real this time {Engadget HD}
Oct 22nd 2008 3:02PM Multiple monitors == won't work. Holy crap, that's unbelievably lame. Guess I'll stick with the Slingbox.
@Hollywood, no it won't work outside of your home network.
Garmin Oregon PNDs make an early appearance {Engadget}
Jul 7th 2008 4:31PM No need to wait for an iPhone, my HTC Advantage already does everything I need from a GPS most of the time, with 5 inch 640x480 display. Now, everyone seems to agree that $800 for the Advantage is expensive, but it also does a little more than just tell you where you are.
On the other hand, comparing an iPhone or WinMob PDA to a dedicated GPS for more than just driving directions is ridiculous. I don't think I'd rely on an iPhone while boating or in the woods. If you're just looking for the nearest Starbucks, a Garmin probably isn't the unit for you.
DirecTV on Demand becoming active for HR21 users {Engadget HD}
Feb 13th 2008 4:28PM I've never had a land line connected to my HR20, just ethernet, and on-demand works fine.
The hundred gadget giveaway: round 3 {Engadget}
Sep 4th 2007 2:47PM Oh, man, an MPx? I'd love that little blast from the not-so-distant past.
Polar's CS600 cycling computer {Engadget}
Jul 19th 2007 2:48PM Even the power option isn't news. I've had that on my Polar 720i for a couple of years now. Seems the innovation is the wireless functionality that eliminates a handful of wires that the 720/725 uses for power measurement.
@rrfrench: Polar had all the functions you reference before the first Forerunner even came out. Back to the fanboy closet with you. The power measurement accuracy is just fine. SRM, et. al. are more accurate, but outside the lab the Polar is accurate enough.
