If the discovery of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/07/sonys-google-tv-screen-sizes-and-prices-leak/">down-to-the-cent leaked prices</a> for Sony's Google TVs sounded too good to be true, you might have been partially right -- the publication that reported that the sets would range from $1,299 to $1,899 has now backed away from those figures. <em>Sony Insider</em> says that though its original prices seemed legit, the website's spooks inside Sony now claim they'll actually cost <em>less </em>when they hit the market, though the screen sizes and model numbers were apparently on the money. We don't really feel inclined to trust the new anonymous sources any more than the original anonymous sources, so we'll just leave it at that so as not to get you excited -- if they're cheaper after all, we'll celebrate, and if not we'll be forewarned.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/sonys-leaked-google-tv-prices-were-wrong-says-insider/">Sony's leaked Google TV prices were wrong, says alleged insider</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 10 Oct 2010 21:44:00 EDT.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/inhabitats-week-in-green-robot-cars-solar-winds-and-the-delor/"><img hspace="4" vspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/10-10-10-deloreanev.jpg" /></a></div>
In case you <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/google-and-tu-braunschweig-independently-develop-self-driving-ca/">missed it yesterday</a>, the big green tech news of the week <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/google-and-tu-braunschweig-independently-develop-self-driving-ca/">rolled in last night</a> with the announcement of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/10/google-has-developed-a-self-driving-car-and-it-works/">Google's top-secret robot car project</a>, which has been deploying and testing <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/10/google-has-developed-a-self-driving-car-and-it-works/">self-driving robot cars</a> on the streets of California over the past several months! (Engadget covered it <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/google-and-tu-braunschweig-independently-develop-self-driving-ca/">here</a>). It's also been a big week in general for green transportation announcements, as several supercharged electric vehicles hit the streets last week: the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/06/the-electric-delorean-takes-riders-back-to-the-future/">Delorean EV</a> took us back to the future and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/07/an-electric-bike-that-runs-on-water/">SiGNa Chemistry unveiled an electric bike that runs on water</a>. Finally, from the realm of tomorrow we brought you the future of moving house: <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/05/skylifter-balloon-can-lift-entire-buildings-and-put-em-down-gently/">strapping your home to an enormous balloon and lifting off for the skies</a>. <br />
<br />
This week solar power also lit up the newswires as <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/05/obama-to-install-solar-panels-on-the-white-house-this-spring/">President Obama announced plans to deck out the White House with photovoltaics</a> this coming spring and scientists proclaimed that <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/05/solar-wind-energy-could-provide-100-billion-times-earths-energy-needs/">interstellar solar winds could provide 100 billion times the Earth's energy needs</a>. We were also wowed by a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/06/park-spark-public-park-converts-dog-poo-to-energy/">dog park powered by poo</a> in Cambridge, and we can't wait to get our hands on this new <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/07/nokia-new-concept-phone-lets-you-re-charge-in-your-pocket/">copper-covered Nokia phone that recharges its battery using body heat</a>. <br />
<br />
Speaking of eco gadgetry, we also showcased a set of <a href="http://www.ecouterre.com/buy-a-wewood-watch-plant-a-tree-with-american-forests/">gorgeous wooden wristwatches</a>, and the <a href="http://www.inhabitots.com/2010/10/03/bioserie-introduces-the-worlds-first-made-of-plants-iphone-4-cover/">world's first iPhone 4 cover made of plants</a>. Green lighting was also a hot topic this week as scientists created a new type of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/05/nist-scientists-unveil-glowing-nanowire-leds/">glowing nano LED</a> and we spotted an array of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/04/enlightening-and-savory-lamps-made-of-salt/">luminous lamps made from salt</a> at the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/london-design-week/">London Design Festival</a>. We also learned how a <a href="http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/reimagineroi/index.html#/router">wireless router scored a date</a> for one lucky Inhabitat writer, and how Inhabitat editor Jill's <a href="http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/reimagineroi/index.html#/backpack">solar-powered backpack has been a real conversation starter</a>. See, green gadgets can help you make friends and influence people!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/inhabitats-week-in-green-robot-cars-solar-winds-and-the-delor/">Inhabitat's Week in Green: robot cars, solar winds and the DeLorean EV</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 10 Oct 2010 20:00:00 EDT.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/switched-on-a-looxcie-into-lifecastings-future/"><img hspace="4" vspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/screen-shot-2010-09-15-at-10.22.49-am.png" /></a></div>
Remember those early wireless headsets, the ones that made people look like they had been assimilated by The Borg? Few would seek to return to those days for the benefit of bridging a handset and one's ears. But what if one could also bridge a handset and one's eyes? That's essentially the promise of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/looxcie-wearable-camcorder-will-take-your-lifecasting-to-the-nex/">Looxcie</a>, a Bluetoooth headset that integrates a video camera to enable passive video capture.<br />
<br />
Looxcie's creators note that using the device requires less encumbrance than even a Flip camcorder. Still, there's no getting around it -- the Looxcie is no spy gadget. Accepting the state of the technology for what it is, the designers chose to embrace its size rather than try to minimize it. The protuberance that houses the boom mike and lens of the product swells toward an end that includes a red recording light. The extension in a glossy white, perhaps an homage to massive telephoto zoom lenses like those from Canon.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/switched-on-a-looxcie-into-lifecastings-future/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Switched On: A Looxcie into lifecasting's future</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/switched-on-a-looxcie-into-lifecastings-future/">Switched On: A Looxcie into lifecasting's future</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:30:00 EDT.

Another year, another attempt to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hud">project light onto transparent screens</a>, but Pioneer's Network Vision HUD is one of the cooler prototype heads-up displays we've seen. First off, it uses lasers to generate its ethereal navigation images -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/lasers/">lasers</a> make everything better -- and second, it's presently sourcing that data from a Android smartphone, making it a fantastic potental addition to infotainment ideas like Nokia's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/TerminalMode/">Terminal Mode</a>. Pioneer told <em>Network World</em> that it's planning to actually sell a version of the technology by 2012, but that it might be an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/springteq-introduces-wego-hud-gps/">aftermarket</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/globaltop-hd100-gps-speed-meter-hud-scores-first-review/">product</a> rather than an integral part of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/gm-shows-off-sensor-laden-windshield-new-heads-up-display-proto/">your car's windshield</a>.

We've seen <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/03/htc-hd7-leaks-out-once-more-with-dolby-sound-stars-in-a-brief-v/">O2 Germany's</a> HTC Schubert and a Chinese <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/htc-hd7-pictured-and-specced-by-rumormongers-trying-to-outdo-one/">HD3</a>, but here's a giant Windows Phone 7 device with "T-Mobile" clearly painted on the upper right-hand corner of the screen. <em>TmoNews</em> got these alleged images of the HTC <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HD7/">HD7</a> from their usual anonymous source along with a partial spec sheet, which actually claims slightly different dimensions for the phone and double the amount of flash memory (16GB in all) than <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/htc-hd7-schubert-leaked-pictures/#3431694">we heard before</a>. Different strokes for different folks, or is one of these two rumors totally off? You'll probably want to keep both possibilities in mind before considering this last tidbit from the very same source: the phone will reportedly cost $199 on a two-year contract. Or you could just wait for us to blow out all the Windows Phone 7 details <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/steve-ballmer-and-atandts-ralph-de-la-vega-to-headline-windows-ph/">tomorrow</a>, of course.<br />

On the tenth day of the tenth month in the tenth year (read: today) <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ubuntu">Ubuntu Linux</a> has hit its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/04/ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-enters-beta-ahead-of-october-10/">10.10 revision</a>, though it's mostly more of the same. The new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/canonical-shows-off-unity-desktop-ubuntu-light-for-oems/">Unity desktop interface</a> makes cramped netbook screens more organized, software purchase support might legitimize Ubuntu as an app platform, Ubuntu One brings a free 2GB of Dropbox-like cloud storage to automatically synchronize files and folders, and streams music to Android and iPhone devices too... for a price. There's also full multitouch support, if you've got the hardware. "There's never been a better time to try Ubuntu," the open-source community cries, and they're probably right -- early reviewers claim this Maverick Meerkat build is one of the best they've tried. Find the 700MB downloads at our source link, or in torrent trackers all around the world.<br />

Software developers make or break a platform, as Microsoft's Steve Ballmer once famously stressed, but that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/windows-phone-7-ads-reveal-samsung-focus-for-atandt-november-8th/">shiny new Windows Phone 7 site</a> has angered a mildly important one. Rovio Mobile, developer of the wildly popular <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AngryBirds/">Angry Birds </a>game, tweets that it's presently 'not committed' to bring the game to Windows Phone, and that the above icon is being used in Microsoft marketing completely without permission. While it's possible this is just some sort of mix-up and Rovio just wanted to make its own announcement ("nothing to do with if we do or don't, it's just that we decide that ourselves," the company added in a later tweet), it wouldn't be the first time Microsoft's engaged in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/microsoft-luring-iphone-game-devs-to-windows-phone-7-with-cold/">shady business</a> to inflate its new app store.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update:</strong> Microsoft <a href="http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2010/10/microsoft_angers_angry_birds_with_premature_windows_phone_teaser.html">sent <em>TechFlash</em></a> the following statement: "It appears information was mistakenly posted to Microsoft's website, and has been removed." Sure enough, the offending logo is gone now. <br />

Thinness in a portable device is an attribute worth coveting. Thinness of yet another layer in your home entertainment center hoagie, however, is a little bit less attractive -- at least it is when it comes with a big compromise. Such is the case with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sharp">Sharp</a>'s thinnest <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/blu-rayrecorder">Blu-ray recorder</a>, just 35mm thick yet capable of writing to BD-R discs or the newer, pricier, 100GB <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/bdxl">BDXL</a> discs. So far so good, but rather sadly to make that magic happen in a package so svelte the company has had to ditch the internal HDD that's common in these devices, the idea being you'll just write to BDXL's instead. Even with a stack of re-writeables at your disposal that's going to be a lot less convenient and a lot more expensive than having a good 'ol pile of platters spinning inside. Of course, with no price or release date given, it's possible that this reduction of internal hardware also comes with a reduction in cost, but as we all know it's pretty rare that a skinnier device costs less than its bigger boned brethren.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/sharp-shows-off-35mm-thin-bdxl-recorder-at-ceatec-world-doesnt/">Sharp shows off 35mm thin BDXL recorder at CEATEC, world doesn't stop to wonder why</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 10 Oct 2010 09:07:00 EDT.

We like to joke about reinventing the wheel, but that's kind of what NASA engineer Salim Nasser has done -- he won a $20,000 innovation prize earlier this month for designing a wheelchair where the occupant can pull, thus avoiding repetitive stress injuries associated with pushing by using the (typically) stronger biceps and upper back muscles. The prototype uses a planetary gear system to drive the specially-designed wheels, which Nasser claims can be easily attached to existing wheelchair frames. There's no telling whether it'll see the mass market, but we wouldn't be surprised given the simplicity of the design, unlike some of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wheelchair">robotic models</a> we've seen. So... how's that for a new spin on things?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/10/rowheel-the-wheelchair-you-row-to-go/">Rowheel: the wheelchair you row to go</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 10 Oct 2010 06:06:00 EDT.

Dutch researchers recently demonstrated a new type of wireless <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wireless+body+area+network">body area network</a>, or BAN for short. A BAN essentially gives the human body its own IP address, and the new techniques demonstrated at IMEC based in Eindhoven incorporate a dongle that plugs into the SD card slot of a cellphone, enabling the streaming of data from the sensors to the cellphone in real time. The demonstrated software, which runs Android OS and uses the nRF24L01+ radio wireless standard rather than Bluetooth. So what does this mean for the future of medicine? Well, with just a few <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/EKG/">EKG</a>-like sensors, people with medical conditions such as heart problems, or athletes in training, will be able to monitor their own body on their cellphones. The technology is still in the demo phase, but it's one we look forward to seeing in practice.

If what we're looking at is really and truly a legitimate T-Mobile slide, then we've got practically the last part of the Galaxy Tab puzzle -- that ever-elusive price point -- as it states the slate will charm your wallet out of $399. That'd be a bit of a disappointment if true, as that's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/05/samsung-suggests-galaxy-tab-will-cost-between-200-and-400-a/">the most we were told to expect</a> and twice the Galaxy S's price despite <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/samsung-galaxy-tab-loses-voice-capabilities-ina-the-us/">lacking telephone functionality</a>. Still, it's the first legitimately impressive Android tablet, and being on the bleeding edge isn't cheap. We just wonder if Sammy can truly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/07/samsung-vows-to-ship-10-million-galaxy-tabs-grab-a-third-of-the/">sell ten million</a> on two-year contracts -- or worse, going head to head at an unsubsidized $649 with the iPad 3G. Say it ain't so, Sammy. <p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-stars-in-leaked-slide-t-mobile-version-to-co/">Samsung Galaxy Tab stars in leaked slide, T-Mobile version to cost $399?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 09 Oct 2010 23:59:00 EDT.

Well, can't say we didn't see this coming; we're just surprised that it's taken <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/meizus-m8-apple-lawyers-start-your-engines/"><em>this</em></a> long for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/meizu">Meizu</a> to take a hit over its notorious handset. In case you have no idea what we're talking about, earlier this month said Chinese company's been in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/apples-lawyers-finally-going-after-meizu-or-so-it-seems/">heated talks</a> with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/apple">Apple</a> due to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/meizu%2Cm8">M8</a> smartphone bearing an "appearance roughly similar" to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone">iPhone</a>. Seriously, that's the only reason Apple provided for the accusation, if CEO Jack Wong is to be trusted (and hey, he did kinda <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/06/meizu-ceo-jack-wong-oh-hey-the-new-ipod-touch-looks-a-bit-lik/">ask</a> for it). Anyhow, the latest development is that Meizu's bowing to pressure from both the provincial intellectual property office and Cupertino, and announced that it's shutting down production lines for its flagship <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/meizu%2Cm8">M8</a> this month. This is no doubt a big blow to the company, but it might get even nastier -- here's what Jack said in one of his many frustrated forum postings:<br />
<blockquote>
<div>Apple requested that we cease manufacturing the M8 this month, we agreed but then [Apple] came back and asked for a sales ban instead. I can cope with a production freeze, but not with having our shops closed and thus not being able to use up our inventory. If Apple and the provincial IPO take another insatiable step, I can only go head to head against them.</div>
</blockquote>So, it looks like the M8's all set for an early retirement, either way -- it doesn't look like Apple's going to let this one go easily, and Jack's also expressed concern over the fact that the IPO has the power to shut his factory down without going to court. That said, things are still looking positive for the elusive <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/meizu%2Cm9">M9</a> -- from the sounds of it, Meizu's upcoming <a href="http://www.engadget.com/product/android">Android</a> phone isn't affected by this takedown (yet); but the question is whether Jack and co. can keep the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/the-engadget-show-inside-the-gadget-markets-of-china-part-two/">shops</a> running until a December launch for their next flagship device.

There's a Toyota Prius in California, and a VW Passat halfway around the globe -- each equipped with bucket-shaped contraptions that let the cars <em>drive themselves</em>. Following their research on autonomous autos in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/DARPA+urban+challenge/">DARPA Urban Challenge</a>, a team at Germany's TU Braunschweig let the above GPS, laser and sensor-guided Volkswagen wander down the streets of Brunswick unassisted late last week, and today Google revealed that it's secretly tested seven similar vehicles by the folks who <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/04/darpas-urban-challenge-ends-all-eleven-cars-cross-the-line/">won that same competition</a>. CMU and Stanford engineers have designed a programmable package that can drive at the speed limit on regular streets and merge into highway traffic, stop at red lights and stop signs and automatically react to hazards -- much like the German vehicle -- except Google says its seven autos have already gone 1,000 unassisted miles each. That's still a drop in the bucket, of course, compared to the efforts it will take to bring the technology home -- Google estimates self-driving vehicles are at least eight years down the road. Watch the TU Braunschweig vehicle in action after the break.<br />

Looking for a jailbreak for your iPod touch or iPhone running iOS 4.1? Your chariot is named limera1n -- assuming you're willing to risk your device on a software developer showdown. The infamous <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Geohot/">Geohot</a> just upstaged the iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team by releasing a reportedly buggy beta exploit of his own, which you can find at our download link immediately below. It only works on Windows at the moment, hacks only official releases and iPhone 3GS isn't supported right now, and it claims to be an unpatchable, untethered release for those of you who appreciate what those terms mean. <br />
<br />
As you can imagine, rival developers aren't terribly happy that Geohot's back in the limelight. MuscleNerd (of the iPhone Dev Team) claims that limera1n will re-lock iPhones that were unlocked by his team's ultrasn0w software, and recommends you skip limera1n, but the main reason the iOS hacking community is angry at Geohot is because if more than one exploit is released simultaneously, Apple can fix them both in one fell swoop. By releasing first, Geohot has allegedly forced other teams to decide between the good of iPhone users over the short term (by releasing a different, more stable exploit) or over the long term (by saving their exploit for future use) and so far it looks like both teams have chosen to prolong the fight -- the iPhone Dev Team is asking folks to withhold its Shatter exploit, and Chronic Dev Team says it will modify its greenpois0n jailbreak to use Geohot's hack instead. What a weird, wild world we live in.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update: </strong>How might this work on an iPad, given that beta versions of iOS (like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/15/ios-4-2-on-ipad-preview-video/">4.2</a>) aren't currently supported? Good question. We've struck all references to iPad accordingly, until the powers that be figure it out.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update 2: </strong>Video after the break! Also, we're hearing that some folks have jailbroken their iPads successfully with limera1n, and we personally got it working quickly on a pair of iPhones with iOS 4.1... but one of the two was missing icons upon restart and didn't regain App Store, Maps, Game Center and Calendar even after a restore. Be careful, now!<br />

You'll be seeing a lot more of the good ol' Yahoo smiley on front-facing cameraphones soon -- the web portal's VP of Mobile David Katz says that a new Yahoo! Messenger with cross-platform video chat is headed to Android and iPhone. Originally confirmed for the new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/t-mobile-mytouch-announced-android-2-2-video-calling-and-hspa/">T-Mobile myTouch</a>, it's presently been submitted to the iTunes App Store for review. It'll reportedly work over both 3G and WiFi connections and freely conduct video calls with any other device running Yahoo! Messenger, including webcam-equipped PCs.

We'd heard <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/01/atandt-launching-windows-phone-7-handsets-on-november-8-unveiling/">November 8th</a> was AT&amp;T's Windows Phone 7 launch date, but this makes it real -- Microsoft advertisements on Microsoft's page, pointing to a brand-new Windows Phone website. And unless we're completely mistaken, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/cetus/">Samsung Cetus</a> finally has a name -- it'll be called the Focus when it comes to AT&amp;T on the specified date. We're not seeing any other spilled beans at Microsoft's new launch page, but we're digging the upbeat tune -- let us know if you find anything intriguing buried in the Silverlight source code on that "new phones" page, will you? <br />

Oh yes, humans -- it's happening again! After a painfully long wait, we're finally kicking our reader meetups back into gear. The first in the series will take place in <strong>New York City</strong> on <strong>October 21st</strong>, and it's going to be a killer. The all-ages event is sponsored by <strong>Sprint</strong> and will feature a slew of amazing companies in attendance. What companies, you ask? How about <strong>Sony PlayStation</strong>, <strong>Research In Motion</strong>, <strong>Palm</strong>, <strong>Sony VAIO</strong>, <strong>Bug Labs</strong>, <strong>Sling</strong>, <strong>Roku</strong>, <strong>Sonos</strong>, <strong>Boxee</strong>, <strong>Peek</strong>, and many more (we're adding names as we type)! In addition to the tons of gadgets and gear you'll be able to get your hands on, we'll have giveaways, demos, music, food, and drinks for everyone.<br />
<br />
The meetup takes place in <strong>NYC</strong> at <strong><a href="http://www.espaceny.com/">Espace</a></strong> (635 W. 42nd St, New York, NY, between 11th and 12th Ave.), and will run from <strong>6:30PM until 10:30PM</strong>. Capacity for the venue is around 1000, and we'll likely fill up -- so plan on getting there nice and early!<br />
<br />
We'll be coming at you with more details and an updated partner list, but for now, mark the date down and get ready to party. You can <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=132308203486112"><strong>sign up and discuss the event</strong></a> at our Facebook page, too.<br />

We're still trying to decide if a postage stamp-sized secondary display for your Android smartphone that you can wear as a wristwatch is a piece of genius or just a misguided widget that became a <em>real </em>gadget when it got kissed by a fairy in a dream. It's looking like we'll get to find out soon, as Sony Ericsson's little <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/28/sony-ericsson-liveview-acts-as-a-1-3-inch-remote-control-for-you/">LiveView</a> remote/watch has just hurdled over the FCC's measuring device and, according to <em>Le Journal du Geek</em>, will be shipping in November with a price of 59 euros. That's right around $80, which could either be an awful lot or only slightly dear depending on how useful it turns out to be.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/sony-ericssons-liveview-android-device-plays-nice-with-an-fcc-r/">Sony Ericsson's LiveView Android device plays nice with an FCC ruler, gets rumored price and date</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 09 Oct 2010 15:10:00 EDT.

Sometimes FCC filings contain <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/04/htcs-dual-mode-cdma-gsm-android-slider-hits-the-fcc-decked-out/">reams of glorious details</a>, but there's very few here -- just the alphanumeric designation for a HTC Windows Phone 7 handset with 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth + EDR, and a set of cellular frequencies (including AWS) that all but peg the phone for a T-Mobile launch. Pay no attention to that "Camera-2nd" listed above, as it's not proof there's a front-facing camera on this device -- rather, the "Sample 2" line indicates that the labs tested a pair of these phones, each with their own photo module. If there does happen to be a second camera on a Windows Phone 7 launch device, however, you'll be the first to know -- we'll be on the lookout for this and other hot new phones at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/steve-ballmer-and-atandts-ralph-de-la-vega-to-headline-windows-ph/">Microsoft's Monday launch</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/htc-pd29100-windows-phone-7-device-hits-the-fcc-sports-t-mobile/">HTC PD29110 Windows Phone 7 device hits the FCC, sports T-Mobile frequencies</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 09 Oct 2010 13:05:00 EDT.

For whatever reason, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Apple/">Apple</a> hasn't made the process of getting video <i>out</i> of our iDevice a lesson in simplicity. We've already heard legions of iPad owners <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/apple-ipad-dock-connector-to-vga-adapter-not-accomplishing-the-s/">kvetching</a> over the lackluster abilities of Cupertino's iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, but Scosche is hoping to provide a pinch of relief with its latest accessory. The Sneakpeek II is described as a switchable video output solution for any iPad, iPhone and iPod that plays video, and the unquestionable best part is the plug-and-play nature. Simply plug one end into a 30-pin Dock Connector and the other end (composite and component cables are included) into a television, monitor or cyborg human with an LCD instead of a face; heck, there's even a microUSB cable to charge the device while it's pumping out the visuals. If this looks like just the solution to a problem that's been wrecking your social life, hit the source link to order yours for $59.99. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/scosche-sneakpeek-ii-press-photos/">Scosche Sneakpeek II press photos</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/scosche-sneakpeek-ii-press-photos/#3450792"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/ipavhdonochargesurfer_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/scosche-sneakpeek-ii-press-photos/#3450793"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/ipavhdo_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/scosche-sneakpeek-ii-press-photos/#3450794"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/ipavhdo4x6_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/scosche-sneakpeek-ii-press-photos/#3450795"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/ipavhdoipad_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/scosche-sneakpeek-ii-adds-component-composite-video-cables-to/">Scosche Sneakpeek II adds component / composite video cables to your iPhone, iPod and iPad</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 09 Oct 2010 11:55:00 EDT.

<div>Texas Instruments recently rocked the graphing calculator world by adding a touchpad to its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ti-nspire-graphing-calculator-gets-a-new-touchpad-nerds-swoon-w/">TI-Nspire calculator</a>, and Casio has now come back with a technological revolution of its own: a high-res color screen. Of course, a 3.7-inch, 384 X 216 display may not be much by smartphone standards, but Casio insists that the "Blanview" LCD will let equations and text be "displayed just like they appear in textbooks." The rest of the calculator's specs aren't too shabby either, and include USB connectivity, 16MB of flash memory, and a promised 140 hours of battery life. You'll still have to stick to your cold, hard black-and-white world for a while longer, however, as the Prizm won't be available until sometime in January, when it'll set you back $129.99.</div>

The whole world and his neighbor's dog may already know when Windows Phone 7 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/steve-ballmer-and-atandts-ralph-de-la-vega-to-headline-windows-ph/">will be <em>announced</em></a>, but when are the actual phones going to hit actual shelves? If you're in the US, that time still looks to be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/01/atandt-launching-windows-phone-7-handsets-on-november-8-unveiling/">a month away</a>, but the UK release window has just been narrowed down from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/htc-mozart-windows-phone-7-specifications-leak-late-october-u/">late October</a> to a single, albeit still speculative, date: October 21. Our tipster forwards the above snapshot from a Three UK document showing a "Windows 7Phone" nestled in between the BlackBerry Torch and Samsung Europa. Its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/superamoled">Super AMOLED</a> display tells us we're definitely looking at a Samsung handset, while the 4-inch diagonal suggests it'll be the Cetus (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/24/samsung-sgh-i916-spotted-cuddling-up-to-an-iphone-4-in-the-wilds/">SGH-i916</a>/<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/20/exclusive-samsung-cetus-i917-att-windows-phone-7/">7</a>). This sheet of revelation also finally gives us a hint as to the number of apps WP7 will start off with, enumerating them at "over 2,000 at launch." We don't know why Microsoft's been so shy about that number -- 2,000 <em>good</em> apps are more than enough.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/uk-carriers-roadmap-points-to-october-21-release-for-windows-ph/">UK carrier's roadmap points to October 21 release for Windows Phone 7, over 2,000 apps at launch</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 09 Oct 2010 08:04:00 EDT.

Based on information passed down from the company to us today, each one of the recalled units has been replaced, and now the redesigned / better-than-ever models are on sale for the same price as before. $49 nets you an IR adapter that plugs into your iDevice headphone jack, enabling your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad to control essentially any home entertainment component that understands Infrared.

The difference? It's Class 4 instead of Class 2, which means that you can look forward to a 4MB/s minimum data transfer rate. Of course, you'll be paying dearly for the speed boost when it starts shipping on Monday with the card alone priced at $153. Slow and cheap, or pricey and snappy?

You know what we always say: never enough battery life. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Energizer/">Energizer</a>'s new AP1201 case for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iPhone4/">iPhone 4</a> should come as a welcome addition to your Apple gadget family. As a slim, protective case of silicone rubber it's not completely offensive looking (if fact, it's pretty attractive), and it charges your phone while it's wearing it. It's got two charging options -- a high speed charging mode which charges the phone first, then the case, while the other option provides simultaneous pass-through charging. The case promises to about double the life of your iPhone, and it's available now for $69.99.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/09/energizer-ap1201-case-for-iphone-4-charges-while-it-protects/">Energizer AP1201 case for iPhone 4 charges while it protects</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 09 Oct 2010 01:34:00 EDT.

</i></div>
<i>The</i> gaming laptop of 2010? Maybe so, but it's unquestionably one of the most hyped and most highly anticipated. HP's 14-inch Envy hits a sweet spot in the size department, and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/hp-envy-14-review/">during our time with it</a>, it also managed to hit a slew of other high notes. Of course, it wasn't without its flaws, but that's not what this section is about. We're anxious to hear how you folks feel about your newly (or not-so-newly) acquired Envy 14. Any qualms with the trackpad? Loathing the lack of a VGA output? Still uninstalling bloatware? Frustrated by the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/29/hp-envy-15-and-envy-14-with-radiance-display-no-longer-available/">lack of a Radiance display option</a> at the present time? Go on and tell us what you really think in comments below, particularly how you'd change things if you and Rahul Sood (or similar) switched shoes for a day.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/how-would-you-change-hps-envy-14/">How would you change HP's Envy 14?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 22:33:00 EDT.

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/andy-rubin-on-multitouch-in-android-i-personally-dont-like-tw/">Shootin' straight,</a> are we Andy? For those unaware, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/googles-andy-rubin-talks-android-and-apple-promises-flash-support/">Andy Rubin</a> is the vice president of engineering at Google, and he's had his fingers in Android before the mobile OS was taken mainstream by El Goog. He recently sat down to talk mobile with <i>PCMag</i>, and he left the world with a wealth of quotes to ponder. For starters, he practically calls out OEMs who aren't keeping up with Android's releases, noting that "there's no advantage to the OEM of using an older version, and I'd say there's a consumer disadvantage." Clearly, he's not a fan of all of this <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/entelligence-is-android-fragmented-or-is-this-the-new-rate-of-i/">fragmentation</a>, either. Moving onto Windows Phone 7, he <i>really</i> came out swinging. When asked what he thought about WP7 as a competitor, here's what came flowing out: <br />
<blockquote>
<div><em>"I think the screen shots I've seen are interesting, but look, the world doesn't need another platform. Android is free and open; I think the only reason you create another platform is for political reasons." </em></div>
</blockquote>We'll obviously need to wait for Windows Phone 7 to launch (and see a few quarters of sales numbers) to see if he's just blowing hot air, but it's interesting fodder at least. Hit the source link for much, much more where this came from -- and keep it sensible in comments, okay? It's just code, after all.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/googles-andy-rubin-on-windows-phone-7-the-world-doesnt-need/">Google's Andy Rubin on Windows Phone 7: 'the world doesn't need another platform'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 19:19:00 EDT.

You should know by now that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/3m-shoot-n-share-does-just-that-shoots-720p-shares-with-its-b/">3M Shoot 'n Share</a> is aptly named: it shoots 720p video and stills, and it shares with a 640 x 480 built-in pico projector. Simple, yes? What you might not know is how well the thing actually works, and for that we have a helpful review from PicoProjector-info. It basically confirms any fears you might've had about the combination: it's not the best pocket camcorder, and it's not the best pico projector (even 3M's own similarly-specced <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=mpro-150&amp;invocationType=wl-gadget">MPro-150</a> model bests it). The good news is that it absolutely works, and is certainly passable in both of its stated aims, along with being fairly easy to operate.

There's no question about it: Sony had its work cut out when it came time to improve the next generation of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sonyreader">its e-readers</a>. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/kindle">Amazon's Kindle</a> isn't only the best selling electronic reading device out there, but its new $139 WiFi version is the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/new-kindles-are-amazons-fastest-selling-yet-start-shipping-tod/">fastest-selling </a>yet. And then there's the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/nook">Barnes &amp; Noble's Nook</a>, which is an equally capable competitor, especially with recent <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/barnes-and-noble-nook-firmware-version-1-4-now-available/">firmware updates</a>. Oh, and don't forget about the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/kobo-e-reader-review/">$140 Kobo</a>. Yep, Sony had some serious work to do and its cheapest option - the $179.99 Pocket Edition -- <em>does</em> differentiate in some striking ways. The aluminum reader has been upgraded with a new 5-inch E Ink Pearl display and now has an extremely responsive touchscreen for navigating through books / menus. The updates certainly have put Sony back into the final four, but there's a few lacking features that just keep it from going all the way. You'll want to hit the break to find out just what we're talking about in our full review of this little guy. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review-0/">Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350SC) review</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review-0/#3450706"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/sonyreaderpocketedition1-1286563645_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review-0/#3450707"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/sonyreaderpocketedition2-1286563658_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review-0/#3450710"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/sonyreaderpocketedition3-1286563678_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review-0/#3450711"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/sonyreaderpocketedition4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review-0/#3450713"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/sonyreaderpocketedition5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350SC) review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/sony-reader-pocket-edition-prs-350sc-review/">Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350SC) review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:30:00 EDT.

Have you ever loved a podcast so much that hurt? Have you ever had to set a podcast free to let it come back to you of its own accord? Have you ever anthropomorphized a podcast past a certain unhealthy point, maybe so you don't even really know how to close off a paragraph? The podcast is after the break, and it's "happening at 5," which may or may not mean something like 5:15PM EST. Close your eyes and sing along...<br />
<br />
P.S. And don't forget that Ustream has <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/mobile/viewer">Android and iPhone clients</a> as well, if you're out and about and you can't join in on the Flash-based fun below.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update: </strong>It's over, but just wait -- the regular podcast post will be up tomorrow!<br />

You know, for a moment there, we actually thought we were <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/samsungs-technicolor-n150-netbook-gets-verizon-powered-3g/">past the point</a> of pushing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/verizon-netbook-webinars-starting-soon-launches-imminent/">subsidized netbooks</a>. Evidently not. Verizon Wireless has just revealed a tweaked version of HP's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/hps-11-6-inch-pavilion-dm1-goes-on-sale/">11.6-inch Pavilion dm1</a> (the dm1-2010nr) that's designed to work on Big Red's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/atandt-sues-verizon-over-theres-a-map-for-that-ads/">oh-so-vast</a> 3G network. Better still, Verizon has thrown in a SIM card in order to let it roam on networks outside of America, but the catch is one you probably saw coming: price. As with the company's international <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/verizon-gets-official-with-wireless-fivespot-mobile-hotspot-touts-a/">Wireless Fivespot</a>, the data pricing options are patently absurd -- particularly so when you realize that you can never use the data you're paying for here unless you're using the netbook its embedded within. Other specs include a 1.3GHz AMD Athlon II Neo K325 processor, Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), 2GB of DDR3 memory, ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 4225 GPU, a 1366 x 768 resolution, inbuilt webcam and Altec Lansing speakers. Verizon's trying to hawk this thing for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement on a Mobile Broadband plan, while the standard version sells for just $250 more; worse still are the data plans, which mirror those found earlier in the week on the Fivespot. We'd tell you that they're detailed in full after the break, but seriously, why would you voluntarily view something that would bring you to tears?<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/hps-pavilion-dm1-netbook-outfitted-with-global-3g-for-verizon/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>HP's Pavilion dm1 netbook outfitted with global 3G for Verizon, priced way outside of reason</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/hps-pavilion-dm1-netbook-outfitted-with-global-3g-for-verizon/">HP's Pavilion dm1 netbook outfitted with global 3G for Verizon, priced way outside of reason</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 16:32:00 EDT.

We haven't seen any reason to love anything that's attempted to combine the comfort of Windows 7 with the sheer unpreparedness of Android in a dual-boot netbook form factor, Acer's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/acer-aspire-one-d255-with-dual-core-atom-hits-at-330/">Aspire One D255</a> included. Still, word is that Acer is planning to make dual-booting standard on its dual-core netbooks going forward. Right now the D255 only does Android overseas, but we're going to perceive this as a threat until we hear otherwise. Sure, adding Android to a netbook doesn't <em>hurt</em> anything (which is the majority of Acer's excellent argument for its inclusion), but we can only hope that this fascination with Android quickly switches to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ChromeOS/">Chrome OS</a> when it's ready.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/acer-planning-to-dual-boot-all-of-its-dual-core-netbooks-were/">Acer planning to dual-boot all of its dual-core netbooks, we're dual-unimpressed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 15:44:00 EDT.

We've been looking forward to this <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/air,android">for a while</a>, and now it's here: Adobe AIR runtime for Android. That means developers using Flash Builder or Flash Professional CS5 can publish AIR apps directly to the Android Market, and all users will need is this little runtime from the Market and they're set. AIR's desktop-oriented .air packages aren't compatible, so you can't just go and grab anything, but there are AIR apps already starting to pop up -- <em>AppBrain</em> has a whole list of them in one of the source links below -- since Adobe has been trialling this with developers for a little while now. Check out a video demo of the procedure from the developer end of things after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/adobe-air-runtime-for-android-lands-apps-already-starting-to-fo/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Adobe AIR runtime for Android lands, apps already starting to follow</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/adobe-air-runtime-for-android-lands-apps-already-starting-to-fo/">Adobe AIR runtime for Android lands, apps already starting to follow</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 15:20:00 EDT.

At Engadget, we tend not to make a big fuss about cleaning products, but this one deserves a little shout-out: Brasso, a well-established metal polish brand in good ol' Blighty, is pushing out its Gadget Care polish gel to the masses tomorrow. What really caught our attention was the fact that this will be Brasso's first new product for a whopping <em>110</em> years, but of course, at the end of the day it's all about whether the polish does what it says on the bottle, and whether it'll leave your gadgets' paintwork unharmed. The selling point's simple: not only does this gel clean your gadgets, but it also leaves a layer of silicone that's supposedly both anti-static (or dust-hating) and smear-preventing. Well, 'tis certainly a very bold claim, so join us after the break to see if this new Brasso's worth your money.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/">Brasso Gadget Care polish review</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/#3446273"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/brassogal2010-10-07-0_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/#3446274"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/brassogal2010-10-07-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/#3446275"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/brassogal2010-10-07-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/#3446276"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/brassogal2010-10-07-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/#3446277"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/brassogal2010-10-07-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Brasso Gadget Care polish review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/">Brasso Gadget Care polish review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 15:02:00 EDT.

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/onlive">OnLive</a> gaming service may be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/05/onlive-ditches-monthly-fees-altogether-makes-the-world-a-freer/">free now</a>, but that doesn't mean that others aren't gunning for its members. Similarly fee-free competitor <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/gaikai">Gaikai</a> was announced back in July and was initially said to be launching in September. However, the plan apparently wasn't to <em>launch</em> in September, rather to be <em>done</em> in September, which Dave Perry is insisting they are. The company is now just waiting to finalize some publishing deals before sending out invites to members in 60 days. Those won't be a sort of public beta like OnLive <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/onlive-goes-onbeta-wants-you-to-help-by-playing-games/">went through</a>, with Perry saying "There will be no 'you're in a beta.' It'll just be 'go ahead and play.'" EA is still the only big fish the company has hooked thus far, but Gaikai officers expect to have "all the major games publishers" onboard by the end of the year. Say what you like, you can't knock their optimism.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/gaikai-game-streaming-service-on-target-to-launch-in-december-w/">Gaikai game streaming service on target to launch in December, with all 'major publishers' signed on</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:17:00 EDT.

We'd tell you these things are probably too easy to lose, but it probably matters not -- after all, you've already been suckered into buying one based on how insanely janky / adorable it is. JVC has just introduced the SP-A230 and SP-A1M <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/portable+speaker/">portable speakers</a>, with the former being shown above. That guy is a bar-styled stereo unit with a pair of 30mm drivers, a brain-melting 160mW x 2 of power and a 3.5mm auxiliary cable for connecting to any 'ole PMP. The A1M ships with a single 30mm driver and relies on a pair of AAA batteries, compared with a pair of AA batteries necessary on the larger A230. Pricing remains elusive, but you can expect 'em in a variety of colors this November... well, in Japan at least.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/jvc-introduces-sp-a230-and-sp-a1m-portable-speakers-for-portabl/">JVC introduces SP-A230 and SP-A1M: portable speakers for portable players</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:53:00 EDT.

<div style="text-align: left;">Complete details on the deal are still a bit light, but it's just been revealed today that Microsoft has licensed a total of 74 patents from Acacia Research Corp. and Access Co. Ltd, some of which come from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/palmsource">PalmSource</a>, the software company spun off from Palm Inc. in 2003. While Microsoft itself isn't saying much on the matter beyond the usual formalities, Acacia CEO Paul Ryan says that the patents licensed by Microsoft are "foundational" in the smartphone market and, as <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> reports, they apparently include some of the very same patents that Acacia has sued other companies over, including Apple, RIM, Samsung and Motorola -- those specific patents concern things like email synchronization and "providing phone capabilities from personal computer devices." Guess that's one potential <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/lawsuit,patent">patent lawsuit</a> you can mark off your list.</div>
