Beaming data with light is hardly a new thing, but lately we've seen a number of attempts at making it rather more usable and, more interesting, rather more speedy. We're starting to get the feeling that those maybe/maybe not dangerous microwave-based systems have had their days numbered. The latest to beam bits with blinkenlights is a team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications in Germany, which will be showing its stuff at the always happenin'...
There’s something reassuring about the way Asimov speaks on this topic (surely one of his favorites) — even though this clip has got to be 35 or 40 years old, it rings true now and we would do well to take his advice. And how about that transcription? Like human beens indeed. It’s an interesting topic for post-brunch rumination: what would a world built around robots be like? Probably like that nightmare Korean theme park...
How many SDK's does it take to screw in a light bulb? You won't find the answer in this week's leaky edition of the Engadget Podcast Show, but you will get an exclusive chance to peer into the future of Paul Miller's voiceover career.

Here lately, Navigon has been crushing it on the iPhone GPS front. Every couple of weeks, it seems that MobileNavigator is getting yet another fantastic update, all while TomTom's lackluster offering hangs back in the land of complacency. Thankfully for us all, the outfit has just pushed out the v1.3 update, which adds real-time traffic (an unfortunate $19.99 add-on), Google local search, updated roadways, automatic music fading between text-to-speech instructions and the ability to add...
Nowhereelse found what amounts to be a sneak peek for a new version of Predator, now called Predators which I suspect will eat les balles. Oh well. ...
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Dead_iPad_battery_Apple_not_replacing_just_sends_new_iPad'; Whoa, Nelly! Isn't this something? Apple has just posted details on its iPad battery replacement service, which is really not a battery replacement service at all. Check out the company's opening line: "If your iPad requires service due to the battery's diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee." Now, let's compare that to the verbiage found in the iPhone's battery replacement program details: "If your...
It’s always hard to confirm whether leaked pictures are authentic or not, but assuming this latest leaked picture of the Nokia C6 is authentic, it looks like the phone will be something like a Nokia Nuron that decided to grow a sideways-sliding keyboard. Do you think that this is what the Nokia C6 will eventually look like, or is it just a clever Photoshop job? Rumors are going around that the C6 is slated to...
It looks like Lian Li isn’t the type of company to sit back and let Antec get all the attention with its Antec Skeleton test bench PC chassis, and now Lian Li has come up with its own PC-T1R Spider, which certainly looks menacing. One look at this chassis and you’ll have no doubt where it got the “spider” in its name from. Surprisingly, the chassis only seems to fit min-ITX motherboards, and a slimline...
We're still no closer to finding out whether this is the next iteration of the Bold, Storm or some other BlackBerry line, but the unofficially coined BlackBerry Slider continues to pique our interest. Here in the third round of spy shots, we're seeing the elusive RIM-branded device from a few new angles, namely a round of side shots and a side-by-side with Curve 8900. You'll notice that the new guys is a bit thicker and...
While these figures are far from official figures by Apple, it’s still very interesting to take a peek at what some people have analyzed over the latest Apple iPad pre-orders. It seems that, based on the order numbers from purchases, and taking into account the 15,000 online orders that come in a typical day, the fruity company has managed to snag about 91,000 iPad pre-orders in just six hours, which is certainly an amazing feat....
Short Version: We now have so much storage in our homes that we could probably, each of us, start our own Rapidshare service. But how do we get all that data to the other machines on our network or, better yet, out onto the Internet? Devices like the Iomega iConnect allow us to place storage space on our internal networks and expose that data to the world, as needed. However, the iConnect also creates a...
If you’re wondering whether being a Palm Developer has any perks, it seems that there are. Palm is currently offering a 20% discount and free 2-day shipping on it devices to Palm Developers. The bad news is that while the phones are contract-free, they’re carrier-locked to Verizon and Sprint, which probably doesn’t seem too smart on Palm’s part, especially when you take into account that the Palm Pre costs $439 on Palm’s website. Would this...
