I bought my wife a Nokia E63 a few months back. That little thing rocks. No, no "real" GPS, but jeesh, for $200 - no contract - I can't imagine a better phone..unless we're talking E71 or the (future) E72. Then again, the E63 has a REAL headphone jack.

She didn't know what a Smartphone was. The thing is intuitive, fast, sounds great, and feels great in the hand.

Highly recommended.


I love my Squeeze setup and this is exactly the device I was waiting for. Sure, the boom offers similar features, but I want to replace my bedside radio with something that will usually have headphones (actually a pillow speaker) hooked up to it. The boom can do this, but I'd be paying $100 more for speakers I wouldn't use anyway. I see my Tivoli radio being replaced by this.


Hmm...every time they issue a "fix" my iMovie breaks. Won't load anymore.

Yet again I'll have to ignore this...
Here's what really interesting. 2 years ago when I was building my house, all of these AV installers wanted me to put keypads all over the house. No thanks, I said - something better will come along.

Well, it has. There are multiple wireless audio systems available. The cost of the wired distribution system? Around $3,000 just for the controller and keypads. Keypads that have no feedback as to what you're really doing, too. Sonos, Slim Devices, Yamaha - much better and much cheaper.

I have the Squeezebox Duet system. The controller is ok, but with the advent of the new iPeng app for the iPod Touch/iPhone, the controller is never used.

Squeezebox Receiver = $175
IPeng = $5

Great combination. Don't have an iPod touch? Ok, get one of those for $300 or so OR get the whole Duet system.

The best part - the open-sourcocity of the Slim Devices products.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
