In all the history of Apple computer have any of these leaked photos EVER been real?

EVDO cards for anyone who is on the road regularly.

I'll quibble on the phone system if you're supporting a sales team. But the phone system should be a virtually hosted asterisk system via VOIP.

The lack of iChat over IP and open ringtones are almost certainly due to contractual issues with ATT not technical issues.

ATT makes a lot of money from SMS.

iPhone to feature eight hours of talk, new glass surface

Jun 18th 2007 3:30PM on Engadget Mobile

The key phrase here is "up to..." 8 hours.

The most important number there is the video playback/internet usage. That's how long a fully charged iPhone can keep the display turned on with a new battery. These numbers will get worse with each charge cycle. That screen is the power hog.

FWIW, I have found through experience in owning many Apple products that Apple usually overestimates battery life by about 100%.

The SMS M500 GSM Watchfone: the 58 year wait is over

Does it have voice dialing? If it does then this might actually be pretty cool. Marry it with a good BT headset...

They absolutely need to have wifi in the store too.

There's no way they want the demo units to connect to the internet via EDGE.

90% of my blogging is now on Twitter...

The cellular carriers are making a bloody fortune on Twitter.

They get paid by the all the users and they get paid by Obvious Corp.

I just blogged this the other day

If you've got 500 followers, for every update you make Verizon, Cingular et al make about $35.

Hey, I watched this video and it was all audio, why did you chew up 10 times the necesary bandwidth to distribute it as video?

Google Said What about TV on the Internet ?

Feb 9th 2007 1:31PM on Blog Maverick

The problem is the HFC networks that feed everyones cable modems.

The nodes are too big for everyone to be accessing video at the same time. If you've got 1000 homes passed in a fiber node you've got 1000 homes sharing the bandwidth in one loop. Works for email and some percentage of people doing high bandwidth things, but it certainly won't work for everyone downloading video.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
