And I'm sure anyone is going to get JUST for Twitter... are there that big of losers out there? This is just something already gold members will enjoy, and if you don't have gold membership with your xbox i really don't care how you feel about it. I fyou can't afford Gold membership, you can't afford to be spending money on video games period.
Completely right man... I really wish you guys would stop using these catch phrases to entice readers. I know it's just trying to dumb it down and make people understand that this is new stuff, but it isn't Android 2.0!!! Sure parts or perhaps most of it may show up in 2.0 (if that is even the next build) or maybe it will be Android 1.6 or 1.7 or 497689.4958.

The point being that there is a lot of work to be done and this "donut" is still just an experimental branch, albeit the "official" one at that.

Just a pet peeve lol
Just find it a little sad that you guys reported this way back in December with the same exact pics and knew it had come from stuff mag. lol I mean it is a pretty unique idea and pic that was scanned the first time.
Wow, as a young adult (now only 23) I can tell you that there is a reason for singling out teens in driving legislation. You even mentioned it yourself Phil! That is what this all comes down to, when we are younger we feel just as competent as most of our adult friends and family. It is only until you grow a bit out of the situation that some faults are acknowledged. Believe me Phil I've seen just as many young teens on the phone almost hitting people as I have seen older adults, it comes down to the fact that most adults do have more driving experience, so even though there is the same level of distraction in the event of something going wrong an adult (in theory) can react safer and use a more tested out decision making process. It all comes with growing up man, but it has been shown that younger drivers (and the elderly) have a higher incidence of getting into accidents due to their lack of experience and skill sets. Washington realizes that cell phone use by anyone is a dangerous activity on the road and that's why our law includes everyone. I think that Oregon just doesn't have the balls to pass an all encompassing law like that yet, but I think sooner or later they will. Either way I'm more afraid of a young teenage girl yapping on the cell than an older business man, but that's just me.

Oh and how the heck can you compare this cell phone law or other teen laws to singling out a while race of people? At least when you get older they don't affect you anymore and perhaps sometimes will agree with a law that was trying to protect you. But seriously, you can't stop being a minority in a society that is persecuting you!
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!"
