The 160 GB is pretty bulky, but man it's nice being able to put everything on there!
I just got these on clearance yesterday (Moto is supposed to be releasing a new version). So far they work great with the iPod bluetooth adapter, but I don't have a bluetooth phone to try them with.

It makes sense that there's an issue with counterfeits. The reviews on the web range from great to terrible.

Too bad they didn't use a removable battery, 6 hrs isn't long enough.
Having to pay for the privelege of using the App store is like being charged admission to get into the supermarket. Will the free frozen pizza samples over on aisle 5 make you feel any better about it? For some, maybe.

However, you can't expect Apple to break out the KY when you continue to bend over and take it dry.
I wonder how much they have to spend on R&D in order to maintain such a consistent level of mediocrity? Then again, how pathetic is it that the iPod Touch can now function as a wireless iTunes remote but still has no graphic eq?
Not sure that disguising one's spy cam as a pack of gum is such a great idea. Whenever I pull out a pack of gum, all of my coworkers instantly turn into mannerless, drooling bums. That would be an interesting situation.
"No, you can't have a piece"
"Because it's SPECIAL gum"
"No Bob, it's not that I don't think you're special"
I have to agree that Ubuntu isn't ready for mainstream, but I tend to think this is true for computers in general.

The vast majority of folks expect to be able to drop their new audio CD into the drive, plug in their iPod and voila, no tag editing or checking-off playlists to be synched, etc. I think a lot of this can be attributed to the fact that most new users don't realize just how far the PC has come in terms of user-friendliness (man, I sound like an old coot!).

From my own experience, I would equate Linux to an old car, it may hiccup a little more often, but the solution is usually cheaper and easier.

The big issue is trying to show someone how to find a solution to their problem when they don't even want to invest the time to look.
Why does this thing remind me of the old Chevy Luv pickups?
This thing might actually be useful for the average race fan if there were some way to use it at home (ie: via nascar.com's Pitcommand service). Otherwise, the costs associated with attending a NASCAR event make purchasing this device impractical.
Just finished reading this, asked my wife if she would pay $19.88 for a movie that could only be played on a PC or portable? Her response: Hell No! I can drive to Wal-Mart and pick up the DVD (at a better price) in the time it takes to download it.
"They could have done this deal with any cell carrier and we'd be seeing the "(insert carrier name) sucks!" posts."
ISTR not that long ago, Cingular was listed as one of the worst carriers in the U.S. Anyone remember who ran that story?
A bunch of us at work were gathered around the computer, drooling pretty heavily while reading engadget's coverage, up until we saw the price and carrier deets. Then everyone was like, "okay, that's nice", and starting disappearing one by one.
Regardless of carrier, the two-year contract is going to be the real deal-breaker. I mean, until now, if you wanted a nice phone, you either signed a contract OR paid $400+ out of your own pocket. Now they want us to do both?!?
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!"
