Hey, genius.

The evidence doesn't really support your claims. There are many people hacking the iPod every day. There are entire sites about it.

The iPod works seemlessly with Microsoft Windows. Apple even ported their jukebox program over to it! Does that really sound like a company whose motto is "Interoperate And Die!" Jesus.

Why is it that you're lambasting Apple for this particular decision (heavy-handed though it may be), but you haven't raised your voice in protest over their lack of WMA inclusion? Oh, right...they have a vested interest in promoting their own file formats...WHICH IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!

Look...it's hard to laud Apple for this (though some people are trying). I'd much rather have had them do nothing. But really...who cares? Real was stupid to try it.

Segway golf would be a more acceptable option.

Someone already though of using the thing for golf.

i took a lot of pictures of the unit i reviewed...

It's called Vonage.

The Motorola V3.
Sex on wheels (or at least whatever the same saying is for a phone... Sex off wires!?)

Seriously, the V3 is such a stylee phone (check out that Trek-like etched keypad) - Apple probably wished they'd designed it themselves.

For the phone geeks: Titanium casing; Bluetooth; camera; 262,000 color QVGA (240x320) LCD. Drool!

Possibly it was a hiptop? Or heck, maybe it was a Newton.

Try here for the pics: http://handhelds.engadget.com/entry/15353103208184 08/. They're unwatermarked, too.

It's a pyramid scheme. They know that 99% of people will get a few friends to sign up, but not enough to earn an iPod. There are also lots of "mysterious reasons" why people get their order cancelled.

Engadget did a little investigative reporting about freeipod.com.

From the Sunglasses/MP3 Player link:

We have a little addendum to our Tech from the Tour de France feature from a couple of weeks ago: this special pair of Oakley sunglasses with a built-in MP3 player that Lance Armstrong was spotted wearing. No idea whether they're planning to ever sell these or not, but a little bit of research reveals that the sunglasses only have enough room on them for 35 songs, which makes us think that they probably have somewhere around 128MB of storage somwhere in there.


True, but that doesn't mean Lance plays only 35 songs for the entire Tour. Does anyone know if the Tour rules prohibit changing electronic media and so forth? He could play a new set of 35 songs every day. At least that would be interesting trivia, what songs did Armstrong listen to every day of the Tour..

These stereo bluetooth headsets are out now. As far as I can see stereo is supported in bluetooth.

screw the ipod, I need sunglasses with a builtin MP3 player! 128 megs ought to get me through most of my bike rides...

This new Sony iPod killer may be small, but on close inspection, it's kind of ugly.

Looks like the interface will be similar to the iPods as well, still feel Apple's way is kind of clunky for searching through large music lists.

check out and read entire books via the internet

make video phone calls

perform remote heart surgery

Uh, done

From the photos link:

They also showed a 10-minute trailer for the new movie "iRobot" starring Will Smith. Apparently the company has some relationship with filmmakers. We don't know if it's in name only, or if they consulted for the film.

iRobot, huh? Yeah, cause the movie's named after the company. *smacks head on table*

Here you go. Pirate radio, on the cheap!

Seriously though, I won't want to use my cellphone to browse the internet. However, hooking it up to a PC is a wonderful thing to do, as people alreay are with CDMA phones in India (Reliance, Tata Indicom, etc)

DS Has wifi, not the BT.

Let the users ask when the next bus arrives by SMS. Already in use in Leicestershire.

Sorry. The Register says that USA Today originally reported that DS would have bluetooth. Since it was one of the first sources of information, I guess that the information I got was wrong.

Another article can be found there. It details a little more about the mixup. Sorry again for the confusion.

We're correcting our post from earlier today about a $50 ipod clone from Microsoft. Basically, it looks like the Denver Post got it really, really wrong when they published this yesterday....

FYI PVR blog has more coverage of the monster PVR... linking to Engadget coverage

e.

Since so many people are speculating about what this "can" will look like, here is a picture of it. http://www.engadget.com/entry/7706925370302336/

Opps, linked got hosed. Not only stupid, it is not even an original April fools. In fact, there are way too many Apple iPod related hoaxes, even in one April 1st, shows lack of creativity on the hoaxers.

Thats a damn shame, the segway was a bloody good invention. The problem with it is it just looks so crap.

And it's to slow, not to mention it can't carry any shopping unless you invest in a rubbish looking trailer, and when you do have a rubbish trailer kids can chase you and nick you shopping negating the whole point in you going out on your segway.

However extream segwaying looks like a spot of fun

No, EnGadget is the rox, Gizmodo is sux this week.
