  • iPhone OS 4 beta 3 brings iPod widgets to the dock

    iPhone OS 4 beta 3 brings iPod widgets to the dock

    Apple may have pulled iPhone OS 4 beta 3 soon after it went live, but we're living recklessly -- and hey, is that a set of iPod controls and a screen orientation lock hiding out in the app switcher? The control is accessed by swiping to the far left, and it all does pretty much what you'd expect. That's good news, since we were missing the old pop-up iPod controls pretty badly. We're hunting around for more new stuff, we'll let you know if we find anything.

    One Microsoft Project Pink phone caught in the wild, screenshots leaked

    I’ve been trying to avoid writing much about Microsoft’s secret Project Pink as of late, primarily because we just don’t want to get folks hopes up too high; according to our sources, not a whole lot has changed since we passed on word that the handsets were pretty terrible. With that said, it’s our job to [...]

  • Apple Store is down worldwide

    Apple Store is down worldwide

    The Apple Store went down (globally) a short while ago. And we all know what that means: They are adding new stuff, or at least updated stuff. Could this be refreshed MacBook Pros, for example? Those that allegedly run Core i7 M 620 at 2.66GHz?

    Please take our reader survey

    Two things. First of all: No, the image has absolutely nothing to do with the post. It was between “Stock photo of a bunch of survey check boxes” and this picture of a cat with a human smile – which would you have chosen? Second: Please take this reader survey. We’re working on some awesome new [...]

    Sprint Samsung Moment updated for anyone willing to leave their house

    Remember the good ol' days of being a cell phone owner? Back when you could probably name every color your screen could display, 2G data connections were mind blowing, and gettin' your firmware flashed meant taking a trip to the good ol' neighborhood carrier outlet? Yeah - we're back to that.

  • CrunchDeals: Flip MinoHD camcorder for $120

    CrunchDeals: Flip MinoHD camcorder for $120

    Ho ho ho, this may be the lowest price you’ll see on a new Flip MinoHD camcorder for a while. Amazon’s got them for $120, today only, down from $160. To be honest, Cisco just bought Flip and they’re expected to unveil some new products at CES (like, perhaps, Wi-Fi enabled camcorders?) so Flip might just be blowing these things out to make room for the new stuff. Either way, today you get a somewhat reasonably-priced pocket camcorder.

  • Mad Hurricane: Japan’s new mini assault robot destroys stuff (video)

    Mad Hurricane: Japan’s new mini assault robot destroys stuff (video)

    Japan's robot otaku can soon lay their hands on yet another of those electro-mechanical marvels, but this time the robot isn't cute. No, this new model, made by Tokyo-based robot venture Poseidon, is supposed to be mean for a change. And its name (Mad Hurricane) is pretty bad ass, too. Mad Hurricane can perform a number of motions: walk in four directions, swirl to the right or left, stand up by himself when he's on his back or face and, most importantly, kick and punch in six variations. Powered by a battery, the robot stands 40cm tall and weighs 2.4kg. It's made of aluminum, has six built-in gyro sensors and a total of 20 joints.

  • Welcome to the next Engadget

    Welcome to the next Engadget

    digg_url = 'http://digg.com/design/Engadget_Revamped'; Welcome to the new Engadget, humans! As you can tell by taking a quick look around, we've been doing some major work on the site behind the scenes, and we couldn't possibly be more excited to finally share this work with the rest of the world. For months now -- nearly the whole year -- we've been tinkering, adjusting, tweaking, and honing the experience at Engadget with one goal in mind: do what we do as best as we can, and bring news to our readers better than anyone else. We think we've achieved that goal through a lot of hard work and long days (and nights), and it is truly awesome to finally be able to show everyone!

    Obviously there is a ton of new stuff here, and if you're a long-time reader of the site, you'll probably be a little shell-shocked at first. Don't worry, we're still cranking out news the way we always have; in fact, we think the new design will allow us to crank even harder and provide more up-to-the-minute info to you guys. If you're a new reader, you picked the right time to check us out, because the site has never been more organized, had more content, or been more useful to someone who's reading us for the first time!

    We just want to say that this has been a long labor of love, and we're thrilled that we get to share it with the world. We think that the new Engadget evolves our work in a major way, moving us from a straightforward blog into something else, an expandable amalgamation that fuses the good bits of blogs, social media, news sites, magazines, and video into something bigger than those parts.

    We're going to walk you guys through some of the major new features (there are a ton, believe us), but first we want to talk a little about how the site got to where it is right now, and who the people are responsible for this thing. Read on after the break for all the info!

    Update:
    Hey, we're having a few issues with the introduction of the new site. Hang tight, it'll be perfect soon!

    Windows Mobile 6.5 Review: It Still Sucks.

  • Review: Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox 360)

    Review: Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox 360)

    After finally adding some drummy goodness with Guitar Hero World Tour and then issuing the video game equivalent of a greatest hits album, the newest installment of Activision’s wildly popular Guitar Hero series has hit the market. Many may look at Guitar Hero 5 the same way people look at popular sports games like EA’s Madden series: the core game hasn’t changed that much at all but there are some new features here and there, plus 85 new songs to play and a slightly redesigned guitar controller. Diehard fans of the series will likely go out and buy Guitar Hero 5 without much convincing, while people who are slowly (or quickly) growing weary of the near-endless crop of music games aren’t likely to find much here to change their minds. So let’s focus on those of us (myself included) in the middle – people who like music games enough to keep playing them but need some good reasons to keep shelling out $60 to $100 every other month (or so it seems).
