Engadget's Black Friday giveaway, part six: win an HTC HD2! {Engadget}
Nov 27th 2009 2:48PM Dang - there goes my plan to be the last person on Earth to not own a cell phone.
Reluctantly, if I win this device, I will abandon this long held ambition.
Pleas consider me for this worthy giveaway.

Ainol's V9000HDX 'Megatron' PMP looks lovely, does 1080p, freezes its enemies in blocks of ice {Engadget}
Nov 17th 2009 9:09AM How does this compare to the latest Ramos model?
These seem to be the top two China PMP makers these days (Onda seems to have dropped out).
Which should we buy for holidays?
Archos 5 has 99 problems and a glitch is one, 160GB version pulled by Amazon {Engadget}
Oct 12th 2009 8:03AM No news here. It's Archos, right?
Android-based Archos 5-inch Internet Tablet coming September 15 with (you guessed it) an AppsLib store {Engadget}
Aug 19th 2009 10:10AM Seriously.... Archos makes good leading-edge hardware. But their product all comes out 90% ready, and it can be extremely frustrating to deal with this, as they don't have the resources to really provide good tech support.
The really significant item in this information release is that Archos is apparently going to allow third party software for the first time. That's a huge change for this company, as the other major criticism against them in the past has been that their device is totally locked down. We'll see if this new system works better. I predict growing pains, but it can't be worse than the current situation where only Archos provides software, so there is nothing really to choose from.

Aug 19th 2009 10:03AM Archos is the best company in the world.
They make the best electronic devices in the world.
This device will change the internet as we know it. It has 200 times the screen area of an iPhone and is 1% bigger. It has the fastest processor ever made and will be able to show 2160p video at 98 fps while simultaneously browsing the internet and calculating the first 8 million digits of Pi. Peace and harmony will come to the world as all combatants stop their wars and buy an Archos device.
Soon Archos will be making so much money that they will buy out the lowly Appple and their measly iPhone.
I'm Chorbax, and I own no Archos stock.
NVIDIA confirms Tegra processor within Zune HD, details it real good {Engadget}
Aug 17th 2009 12:22PM Sounds good.
But someone actually needs to write some code that utilizes the processor muscle. How often have we seen great hardware crippled by buggy or unoptimized drivers? HTCs offerings come to mind (remember the Advantage?)
I would have loved for the Zune to be 25% larger with the same graphics capabilities....
3" is just too small for any useful purpose, including video-viewing.

Jul 27th 2009 12:19PM What does this do that the Sony PRS 505 didn't do 2 years ago?
How would you change Sony's OLED Walkman? {Engadget}
Jul 11th 2009 1:38AM Isn't the maximum effective video playback resolution something like 320 x 240.

WTF? Such an expensive device, and inferior video performance to any 100$ chinese PMP you can buy these days?
Sony - what are you people thinking?
iPhone 3G S global launch sees smaller lines, quieter reception (update) {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 19th 2009 6:09AM Agreed. From the perspective of someone who regards the iPhone/iTouch as a multipurpose handheld computing device, not as a phone, the half VGA screen has always been the deal killer for me. I look with some envy at the slickness of the iPhone, but each time I step back from getting it for that reason.
I've been using a multitasking PDA with full VGA 4" screen for nearly 5 years (the iPaq 4700). How can I possibly downgrade to a iPhone?
