I need speakers so I can blast my miniature schnauzer, Bailey, out of her mind.
That fancy monitor sure would look lovely in my home!
It reminds me of Mr. Garrison's "IT" on South Park! Maybe the model should sit and spin on the central stem... you know, for cheap thrills! It looks VERY uncomfortable. With such small tires, it won't handle a bump very well before someone gets launched like a space cadet. One little bump and off ya go!

Of course, it doesn't move very fast at all, either. Converting all the metrics into standard units that we stupid Americans use (because we're different, and different is special!), the Winglet moves along at a completely lackluster 3.73 miles per hour and has a very crappy range of 6.21 miles. You wouldn't be able to ride on it for more than two hours straight when the battery goes kaput.

It does have one leg up on the Segway, though -- weight. It's 27.12 pounds which isn't much next to the Segway's industrial-grade-bulk of +/- 100 pounds.

Sorry, but I think I'll stick with my Segway. Yep, I own one, that's right. No, I'm not fat, either. LOL.

Uhh, yeah, SUCK IT T-Mobile.

I have NEVER correlated Engadget Mobile with T-Mobile. This is a PREPOSTEROUS issue and as a loyal T-Mobile customer since 2005 -- and defending them as having the greatest customer service, hands down, this is just absolute bullshit.

I love T-Mobile, but this makes me want to vomit. Magenta colored vomit, that is.
I bought the HD-A2 at Wal-Mart as well for $98 and only have around 8 or 9 movies in HD-DVD format. I'm not too steamed about HD-DVD losing the format war, and I'm not really bothered that the format will be obsolete effective almost immediately. I am confident that my A2 unit will last for a long, long time and I don't imagine I'll be buying many HD-DVD's even on close-out; maybe a few but not too many. I have 400+ plain vanilla DVDs that will continue to be played through the A2 over its' lifespan, and I'm in no hurry to replace it with a Blu-Ray player right now. No rush at all, as in my mind I feel like Blu-Ray still needs to overcome the strength of plain vanilla DVD before I will likely buy a Blu-Ray player of any sort. There's no great incentive to do so right now.

A logical approach would be to just wait out the storm between Blu and DVD - who knows, perhaps something else will emerge, downloadable movies on a PC or the Apple Take 2 could emerge as viable. It's pointless to speculate how things will level out right now because there is nothing very clear-cut other than the fact that HD-DVD is a dying, endangered species.

My recommendation to Microsoft is that if they want to keep their 360 viable against the PS3 that they IMMEDIATELY develop a Blu-Ray-compatible version of the 360 to get on the level with PS3. No add-on drives!!! I had a 360 at one point but the desire to own an add-on HD drive was less than desirable... who wants yet another box to stack up? Integration is critical to keep the 360 successful, and I'd probably buy a Blu-Ray-equipped 360 before I ever thought about buying a Sony PS3. The catalog of games with the 360 is enough to sway my vote, plus I would rather not give my money to Sony, whose products in the past have performed with less-than-stellar impressiveness to me.

In the long run, I'm not out much money, and I'm not going to waste my time now crying over spilt milk.

Ummm... perhaps it's because SPRINT SUCKS? They overcharge for EVERYTHING! I had Sprint once. Yeah, that lasted a few months before I got sick of them and switched over to T-Mobile, which I have been EXCEEDINGLY happy with ever since!
Currently wearing my deceased grandfather's Citizen watch, scratched crystal and all. The links are losing their luster and perhaps if I won this watch I could take my granddad's timepiece and let it rest in the drawer of my bedside table for a while.
Yes, hell yes, why the hell not? Even with so many entries... sure, why not?
Blackberry Pearl? YUMMY! I want I want I want!!! :)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
