From the NCSU article, here's a number I hope we can all embrace:

“Instead of making a chip that stores 20 gigabytes, you have one that can handle one terabyte, or 50 times more data,” Narayan says.
The pictures do show one SIM slot labeled as "CDMA". Strange.
Two SIM slots = CDMA support? Run that over me again?
3 x 3 has nothing to do with the number of radios. The AP will have 2 radios - one 2.4GHz and one 5GHz. The 3 x 3 has to do with the number of transmit and receive chains for each radio (aka MIMO - multiple input/multiple output). If you crack one of the suckers open, you should see 6 antennas: 3 for the 2.4GHz radio, and 3 for the 5GHz radio. A 3 x 3 radio can transmit and receive via all three antennas.

What is MIMO?
MIMO is an abbreviation for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, which refers to the ability of equipment to handle multiple data input and multiple data output operation. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n devices make use of multiple antennas to send and receive more than one communication signal simultaneously. This is similar to having two FM radios tuned to the same channel at the same time - the signal becomes louder and clearer. This multiplies the performance of the Wi-Fi signal, and is reflected in the two, three, or even more antennas found on some Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n access points or routers.

Epic fail on your part Corey - it's an HDMI *input*
And my post above shows why I don't write or proof for a living.
I agree with Pilkington - Besides the errors he lists, I don't think I'm interesting in Engadget showing me how to maximize Engadget's HD reception.
I don't think these chips will be powered (most EPC RFID tags are not, and the power would eat up the watch battery), which means you can read the contents of the chip from an astounding distance measured in FEET. So to "locate" someone wearing one of these watches, you have to be within a few feet of them. Of course, there are probably newer readers could scan the RFID tag within 100 feet. Big Whoop.

How are you supposed to get to the magical database that says who owns the watch with RFID tag 01000101010100100101011100101011? It's easy to figure out that a certain RFID tag number is a given watch brand/model, but it won't tell you who owns it. That takes a database that someone has to maintain.
Folks - this is a NEW IronKey that has passed the FIPS 140-2 **Level 3** tests. Sizes will go up to 16GB.

The previous IronKey passed FIPS 140-2 Level 2.

Darn it - didn't have my coffee. It *is* beck and call.
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!"
