iPhone SDK agreement forbids real-time route guidance, dancing, rock'n'roll {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 12th 2008 1:25AM One of the features of the SDK is to provide access to location information using the GoogleMaps functionality.
If software developers could use Google Map data in their GPS programs, there would be no reason to buy a license for the map data from Navteq and TeleAtlas, which are the companies that license the map data (with restrictions) to Google in the first place. If software providers could use that map data without a license in their own navigation programs, Navteq and TeleAtlas wouldn't remain in business for very long.
My take is that any developer can write their own GPS application for the iPhone 3G if and only if they license (and include) the map data from Navteq or TeleAtlas. That's what TomTom does to provide their software. I think Apple would provide a waiver in that instance.

Is your Comcast HD quality up to snuff? {Engadget HD}
Mar 20th 2008 8:18PM I've certainly seen this on Comcast with my 60" display. The quality drop occurred about three weeks ago.
Quality isn't bad by any means, it just isn't as good on many channels as it was a month ago when Comcast added new channels like SciFiHD. Like that poster said, the biggest difference is seen with motion.
Video: Checking out the Logitech Harmony One {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2008 6:02AM If you can for your viewers, please take a side-by-side screenshot of this remote compared to the Harmony 880.
From just the pictures of the Harmony One, it's not quite so obvious how large and well-spaced the buttons are in comparison to the old Harmony remotes. Most of the major buttons are 2-3x the size of the buttons on the Harmony 720, for example.
Logitech Harmony One gets reviewed {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2008 5:53AM Having played with this remote, I just have to say...wow!
Logitech finally did their homework and got it right. They finally designed a remote that was comfortable and easy to use by feel.
The 880 is a piece of garbage compared to this remote.
