"Based on a gallon of gasoline costing $2.58, this translates to savings of between $0.03-$0.05 a gallon."

You might want to double-check your math there. Losing weight doesn't make gas less expensive, it lets you drive a longer distance with a given amount of gas.
gerrrg - The original Insight came with a manual transmission option and still has auto-stop/start. I'd trade mine in for a CRZ assuming it gets 50+ MPG.
Yeah, I'm sure you would be just fine with a proprietary chip in your keyboard or mouse that prevents you from buying a reasonably-priced alternative.

"Oh, your mouse died? For only $75 we'll give you a brand-new one-button mouse!"
As soon as I heard about this idiocy, I went out and bought a Sansa Clip. It's cheaper, has a screen, and can actually use standard headphones. Who ever thought that those things would ever be considered "features"?
Yeah, I got to see one at a Sony store in Taipei on Monday. The screen is the hotness, but they had it set up with such massive icons that there were only 4 in each column on the desktop. But like Engadget said, it's really not up to the task of running Vista...
I dunno, I've had a 9600GT for 5 months and it's still going strong. Maybe it's just one bad batch?
That was my first thought too. That's some Freedom From Business As Usual That You Can Believe In!
Exactly. A phone with an 8-megapixel camera is bound to be a niche product. Are they really going to save themselves with a low-volume, high-markup phone? Nokia's N-series is great and all, but is that really where they're making their money?
Finally, the days of tasting my pee to test my glucose levels are over!
Wenke: What kind of range does that guy's modded S10 get? What kind of warranty does it have? What kind of safety testing has he done? There are a lot more issues than just cost the base cost to the consumer.

A new S10 starts at $16,000, which added to $11,000 isn't cheap either. Plus, it probably has a minimal or nonexistent warranty. It also can't carry as many passengers as comfortably and probably has a pretty crappy range without a gasoline engine available to extend it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
