Well, well — would you look at this? The NFL, which has sided with Sprint over the years when it comes to cellular distribution of content, is apparently talking to Big Red in order to get its prized content into even more hands. As the idea of watching NFL games on-the-go because more and more [...]
Well, this isn’t going to be surprising to many, but certain executives of certain big studios and networks aren’t wasting anytime letting everybody know what they think of Apple’s new 99-cent rental model for the Apple TV. If you’ve read our review of the tiny new iOS device, you’re already aware that one of Apple’s [...]
We thought about calling this podcast “Unchained Melody” or “The Engadget Podcast: RAW” but our COO got a little concerned about violating some sort of intellectual property laws, so you just get the plain vanilla name. Regardless, it is quite a monster, complete with a radio play set in an AT&T store and 3-D versions [...]
We’re just about into the third quarter of 2010, which means that wireless carriers are getting ready to release one last salvo at the consumer. With the holiday shopping season upon us, there’s no surprise here that Verizon would be gearing up to release a plethora of handsets before the end of the year. And, [...]
The header says it all folks. We just ran some tests on the AppleTV’s playback limits by streaming 1080p movie trailers in iTunes and managed to verify murmurs saying the device can accept 1080p content. Unfortunately, output is a different story, since it downscales the image back to 720p on your display. Yes it’s a [...]
Two tiny black 720p boxes, two interesting choices. The $59 Roku HD will put Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand and Roku’s 75 other content channels on your TV quickly and easily, while the $99 Apple TV offers up iTunes rentals, Netflix, and eventually AirPlay streaming from your iPad or iPhone. (You could step up to [...]
For TV manufacturers, getting the best quality picture to the consumer is a top priority. For Sharp, they’ve tried to reach that goal by introducing TVs with the Quattron technology, which successfully adds a fourth color (yellow) to the standard Red, Green, Blue. The result is a sharper image, and better colors on the screen. [...]
Dual-display cellphones aren’t anything like new, and neither are handsets that use OLED or even put two panels on the front of the phone. However, we’re still mustering some excitement about the Samsung Continuum SCH-i400, freshly leaked to Engadget and apparently headed to Verizon complete with Android and two displays, one called the “Ticker”. As [...]
Domo, the Japanese sawtoothed fuzzball we all love has been made into an awesome ghettoblaster (that’s a bigass speaker for you young’uns). Apparently Domo was originally the mascot for a Japanese TV station; kinda like the NBC peacock except actually cool (hey, the more you know…kaching). This plush Domo was built from scratch by Jipa.

Final software, final hardware, finally shipping – it’s N8 day, and the Nokia team is unsurprisingly pretty pleased with itself for making it inside the Q3 window. So how does the N8 hold up? We’ve used plenty of different prototypes along various stages of the development path, and it’s fair to say some have been [...]
