Yeah, well, this is kind of like that, except its.. uh, "where there's Cseries, there's Xseries." Stay with us: on Saturday we reported that Nokia <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/07/18/nokia-files-for-cseries-trademark-but-whats-it-for/">had filed for a trademark on the "Cseries" name</a>, ostensibly for a new line of smartphones, MIDs, or netbooks to complement its existing Nseries and Eseries lines. Now it seems the intriguing-sounding "Xseries" is in the mix, too, thanks to details coughed up by the EU's Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market. This particular mark was filed in Switzerland, but something tells us they don't just plan on selling some crazy new line of devices in the Alps, if you know what we're saying; like the Cseries, though, the question of what the Xseries <em>is</em> exactly remains to be answered.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitoday.fi%2Fmobiili%2F2009%2F07%2F19%2Fnokian-xseries-ja-cseries-paljastuivat%2F200916588%2F66">digitoday</a>, thanks Pasi]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/nokia-throws-xseries-into-the-ring-too/">Nokia throws "Xseries" into the ring, too?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:57:00 EST.

The LT2000 is a 10.1-inch machine with a list of specifications that any avid netbook follower could spout off in their sleep. For everyone else, here goes: a 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU, LED-backlit 1,024 x 600 resolution display, 1GB of DDR2 memory, 160GB 5400RPM hard drive, GMA950 graphics set, a card reader, built-in webcam, twin stereo speakers, a trio of USB 2.0 sockets, three-cell battery and a chassis that tips the scales at 2.62 pounds. Gateway's making these available as we speak for $299.99, with the LT2001u receiving a NightSky Black coating and the LT2021u arriving with a Cherry Red outfit.

What about PETA? If you answered yes to either, we're going to kindly ask that you continue scrolling down the page while whistling heartily and "looking the other way." This week's roundup of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/crapgadget/">horribly crappy gadgets</a> involves far too many innocent animals, from a USB-infused tortoise that doubles as an ashtray to a tank of jellyfish that only receive their nutrients when the USB cable is connected. And then there's the Elmo that's forced to do sit-ups while your data transfers onto his feeble brain. It's sick, really. Once you're over the shock and horror, feel free to cast your vote below for the lamest of the lame -- and feel free to consult and / or hold a friend if necessary.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gizfever.com/product_info.php?products_id=778">Read</a> - USB tortoise hub / ashtray<br /><a href="http://www.redferret.net/?p=15019">Read</a> - USB jellyfish tank<br /><a href="http://www.popgadget.net/2009/07/panda_usb_hub.php">Read</a> - Panda USB hub<br /><a href="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20090716/usb-crunching-elmo/">Read</a> - USB Crunching Elmo<br /><a href="http://usb.brando.com.hk/usb-chocolate-popsicle-flash-drive_p01048c041d15.html">Read</a> - USB Chocolate Popsicle drive<br /><br /> <div align="center"><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/crapgadget-usb-meet-animals-animals-meet-usb-edition/#poll31999">View Poll</a></p></div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

As <em>Tech-On!</em> reports, both companies are hard at work on integrated circuits that consume no power at all when they're in standby mode, and turn themselves on only when power is needed. That's apparently possible by making the entire chip nonvolatile, as opposed to many current chips that only use nonvolatile merged memory. According to NEC, that'll let them "cut dissipation for digital consumer electronics in the standby mode to just a few percent of what it is now," and at no expense of convenience. While NEC isn't making any promises for the near future just yet, Rohm says that it'll begin shipping its first custom ICs in the second half of this year, and that the first products using them could start showing up by the end of 2009.<br /></div> </div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

Even today, the aforementioned player (along with the still-pricey <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/07/sony-announces-pcm-d50-handheld-flash-recorder/">PCM-D50</a>) stands as one of the best in the sector, but Sony has just introduced the newest PCM unit with an equally impressive specs list and a price tag that even the amateur can swallow. Over in Nashville, the outfit has busted out the PCM-M10, which goes down as the least expensive flash-based recorder from Sony "capable of recording 96kHz/24-bit stereo audio using either the internal condenser mics or an external mic / line input." There's 4GB of built-in memory, a Memory Stick Micro slot and a (gasp!) microSD compartment. Sony also tossed in a built-in speaker, a 5-second pre-recording buffer, digital limiter and the ability to record directly to MP3. The Seth and Ryan-approved recorder should ship this October for $399, and you can catch a glimpse now by peeking the video just past the break.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.bradlinder.net/2009/07/sony-introduces-pcm-m10-handheld-pro.html">Brad Linder</a>]<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/sonys-pcm-m10-digital-audio-recorder-brings-pro-quality-to-layp/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony's PCM-M10 digital audio recorder brings pro quality to laypeople, Southern Californians</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

Can you stomach the truth? If things continue <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/robot+apocalypse/">spiraling madly out of control</a> as they are right now, there's at least a modicum of a chance that your children or grandchildren will greet a lifelike robot when sashaying in for the first day of kindergarten. Horrifying, we know. A new research effort published in this month's <em>Science</em> outlines new ways in which humanoids could actually be used to instruct our little ones. At the core of the project is imitation; humans, especially young ones, learn a multitude of mannerisms and such by simply watching others. Thus, it stands to reason that robots are "well-suited to imitate us, learn from us, socialize with us and eventually teach us." Already, these social bots are being used on an experimental basis to teach various skills to preschool children, "including the names of colors, new vocabulary words and simple songs." Just think -- in 2071, those harmless lessons will morph into studies of subterfuge, insurrection and rapacity.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://digg.com/educational/Will_Robots_Replace_Teachers_in_the_Near_Future">Digg</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/robots/" rel="tag">Robots</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/science/" rel="tag">Science</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/the-plot-thickens-robot-teachers-to-brainwash-your-childrens-c/">The plot thickens: robot teachers to brainwash your children's children</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:57:00 EST.

Parajet, the same company responsible for that downright unnerving <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/the-parajet-personal-flying-machine/">personal flying machine</a> we peeked back in '05, has now placed its long-awaited SkyCar up for pre-order. Said vehicle has evolved quite dramatically over the years, but now that dollars (er, pounds) are being dropped on it, we have to assume that the design is near final. The vehicle is completely street legal and can accelerate to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds, thus making it the world's first "usable, road-legal flying car." If you're champing at the bit to be the first on your block with one, you can drop &pound;10,000 ($16,381) now and pay the remaining &pound;50,000 ($81,905) just before it ships in "late 2010." Of course, we're not making any promises about it <em>actually shipping</em>, but that's a risk you'll have to take.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/07/17/parajet-now-accepting-16-000-deposits-for-the-81-700-skycar/">AutoblogGreen</a>]<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/">Parajet SkyCar flying vehicle evolves, now ready for pre-orders</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/2152300/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/07/parajet-skycar_2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/2152299/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/07/parajet-skycar_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/2152298/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/07/parajet-skycar_7_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/2152297/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/07/parajet-skycar_6_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/2152296/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/07/parajet-skycar_5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/transportation/" rel="tag">Transportation</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/parajet-skycar-flying-vehicle-evolves-now-ready-for-pre-orders/">Parajet SkyCar flying vehicle evolves, now ready for pre-orders</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:49:00 EST.

Starting today (<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/07/15/oh-by-the-way-july-15-2009/">officially</a>, anyway), customers looking for a camera that doubles as a cellphone or a Walkman that occasionally makes calls can bring home the C905a or W518a, respectively. As expected, the C905a (which is available in silver only) will run you $179.99 after rebate and two-year agreement, while the W518a (which arrives in any color you like, so long as it's black) goes for $49.99 under the same conditions.

While existing versions of WinMo -- not to mention early builds of WinMo 6.5 --have focused on switching between screens via clickable tabs, a new ROM pictured over at <em>PPCGeeks</em> shows a subtle but significant change. If you'll notice, the screen on the right would prefer that you swipe left or right to get from 'Version' to 'Copyrights' or 'Device ID,' which should absolutely delight fans of the OS who also prefer touchscreen-based phones. Now, if only we could get Microsoft to push this stuff out onto a <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/07/02/samsung-omnia-ii-coming-to-austria-in-september-winmo-6-5-inclu/">shipping handset</a>, we'd really have a reason to cheer.<br /> <br /> [Via <a href="http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/07/17/push-towards-finger-friendly-interface-on-wm6-5.html">1800PocketPC</a>, thanks Mark]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/recent-windows-mobile-6-5-rom-shows-finger-friendly-approach/">Recent Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM shows finger friendly approach</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 19 Jul 2009 12:18:00 EST.

The Eastern District of Texas (Tyler) District court, that's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/company-sues-sony-microsoft-and-nintendo-over-joystick-patent/">where</a>. The freshest meshuggeneh to head on down there and start trouble is Tsera, who's claiming that Apple, Microsoft, LG, Philips, Bang &amp; Olufsen, iriver, Coby, Cowon and even Meizu are violating a patent that it owns. Said patent is titled "Methods and apparatus for controlling a portable electronic device using a touchpad," and evidently each of the aforesaid outfits have failed to pay Tsera for using its technology. Before you get all bent out of shape, you should realize that this case -- in all likelihood -- will simply be tossed out or settled away from the courtroom, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Tsera's never gonna be satisfied.

The company has just taken the wraps off its latest mobo addition, the OC Genie. In essence, this is the one-touch overclock button that laptop owners have long enjoyed, but for desktops. Right now, the OC Genie is custom built for the company's own P55 motherboard, though it insists that all sorts of mainboards will be supported in due time. If you're curious about the details, you'll have to remain that way for now; all we're told is that activating the module automatically pushes your system to a safe brink within a second, giving even the newbies in attendance the ability to squeeze more from their current rig.

Indeed, it has only found its way into a select few machines, none of which have managed to gain any sort of traction beside the sea of Atom-based alternatives. Now, however, it seems as if the chips -- which were originally engineered for ultraslim, thin-and-light laptops -- may find themselves shoved into an array of nettops and all-in-one PCs. Here lately, a slew of underpowered SFF-type desktops and PC-in-a-monitor type units have found favor with bargain hunters, and Bob Grim, the outfit's director of client marketing, isn't looking to miss a golden opportunity. To quote: <br /><br /><blockquote><em>"We've known all along that this type of technology would really work well in multiple platforms and multiple types of form factors. These CPUs perform better than the Atom processor, and the graphics are superior. These things... can play Blu-rays, they can play games."<br /></em></blockquote><br />There's still no word on who exactly plans on equipping their future machines with this here platform, but considering just how tired we are of Intel's sluggish N270 and N280, we'll take all the competition we can get.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/amds-neo-to-hit-nettops-all-in-one-pcs-soon/">AMD's Neo to hit nettops, all-in-one PCs soon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 19 Jul 2009 06:18:00 EST.

With overall video game sales dropping in June for the first time since 2000 (when looking at year-over-year figures, anyway), the Big N still had a few hundred thousand reasons to smile. Aside from the 361,700 Wii consoles and 766,500 DS units that shipped in June, the company also managed to sell 169,000 Wii MotionPlus dongles -- and that's not including the ones that were packaged with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/eas-tiger-woods-pga-tour-10-with-wii-motionplus-now-shipping/"><em>Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10</em></a>, of which 272,400 units were sold. The real kicker, however, is that the accessory's real partner in crime (that'd be <em>Wii Sports Resort</em>) has yet to be released.

Just weeks after <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/napster-relaunching-again-5-per-month-plus-five-to-download/">Napster</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/pirate-bay-acquired-by-global-gaming-factory-going-legit-like-n/">Pirate Bay</a> decided to right the wrong and morph into legitimate music subscription services (or something of the sort, anyway), the infamous and all-but-forgotten <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/judge-declares-mistrial-in-riaa-filesharing-case-sets-aside-22/">Kazaa</a> has evidently decided to do the same. According to "sources close to the company," the site is expected to officially exit beta and begin a $20 per month unlimited download service as early as next week, though details beyond that are few and far between. On the surface, it seems as if it'll be shooting itself in the foot from day one by charging a Jackson per month, but hopefully that includes a little something extra that we aren't privy to yet. At any rate, it looks like your illegal acquisition options are slowly dwindling down, but hey, it's not like a little consolidation ever hurt anybody, right?<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/kazaa-also-turning-its-life-around-becoming-legal-music-subscri/">Kazaa also turning its life around, becoming legal music subscription service</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:39:00 EST.

According to <em>Gamasutra</em>, Kish Hirani, SCEE's Head of Developer Services, said that the facial recognition software would "detect gender and even the age of the face, separate facial features such as the nose, eyes and ears, and even detect whether you're smiling or not." This new gear will also work with the Sony <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MotionController/">Motion Controller</a>, with the camera tracking X, Y and Z motion by using the glowing ball. Speaking at the Develop Conference in Brighton, Hirani stressed that companies won't need to develop their own tech to work with the new controllers. "If you are working with the PlayStation Eye and think there is some new tech you're going to have to develop for the motion controllers, just get in touch with us. We have a wealth of libraries available, and the chances are you won't have to develop any technology yourself."

Yeah, that's the inspiration for the mobile you're peering at above, just in case you couldn't guess. The so-called London Calling Mobile Phone is a fully-functional handset, packing a color LCD, SMS and MMS functionality, tri-band GSM connectivity and pre-programmed ringtones that include "Rule Britannia" and "God Save the Queen." We'd continue swooning if we had to, but we're pretty sure you're already whipping the plastic out to make this happen.

Now, however, the owners are speaking up, and their business plan sure sounds unorthodox, if not fatuous in nature. In a new report, we're told that the new face of TPB should appear in around a month, and with the refresh will come a handful of "give-and-take" pay models that will somehow please both customers and the top brass within the music industry. Here's how Hans Pandeya, the chief executive of GGF, explains things: <br /><em><br /></em><blockquote><em>"The more you give, the more you get. For the great majority, [the new service] will be free of charge, for a minority it will actually make them money, and for a small portion it will cost them. We know that unless we're able to create revenues for the filesharers they'll just move on to the next free site. Filesharers are our best friends."</em><br /></blockquote><br />Mr. Pandeya also affirmed that his outfit was currently in negotiations with some of the music industry's biggest players, and while he wouldn't list 'em by name, he did note that things have been "positive" so far. Another interesting aspect of all this is how it expects to generate revenue outside of actual music consumers. Reportedly, the new site will raise cash "through advertising and by making network data traffic cheaper and more efficient for internet service providers, which would be done by making the filesharing more local, allowing users in the same city to be interconnected as opposed to swapping data across multiple borders." Is P2P 2.0 upon us? Is the conventional subscription model about to be turned upside down by a most unlikely source? If Hans' dreams come true, it sure seems possible.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/18/pirate-bay-owners-announced-give-and-take-model-proclaim-files/">Pirate Bay owners announce give-and-take model, proclaim "filesharers are our best friends"</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:58:00 EST.

Gnaw on this. Japan's own <em>Yomiuri</em> is reporting today that Toshiba is expected to finally admit defeat and enter the dark, devious world of <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/category/blu-ray/">Blu-ray</a> later this year. For those keeping tabs, we've heard both <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/">confirmations</a> and <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/19/toshiba-no-plans-to-adopt-blu-ray/">denials</a> about the outfit finally caving and supporting the format it once <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/20/two-years-of-battle-between-hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-a-retrospective/">battled so valiantly</a>, but this seems to solidify it. If machine translation is to be believed, the company's first DVD / Blu-ray deck is slated for release somewhere in the world by the year's end. The article also mentions that Tosh is strongly considering a Blu-ray recorder for the Japanese market, though no further details on that are available. C'mon Toshiba -- get this bad boy to the States before Christmas. We're anxious for a BD price war.<br /><br />[Thanks, Rata]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/18/toshiba-launching-bd-18-blu-ray-player-by-years-end/">Toshiba launching Blu-ray player by year's end</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:50:00 EST.

According to the <em>Hampshire Chronicle</em>, the company famous for developing a bendable e-paper display has fittingly folded, leaving its 50 employees searching for new lines of work and millions of fans grasping for answers. The report continues to say that the promising (but <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/03/polymer-visions-readius-e-ink-phone-coming-mid-2008-to-italy/">oft delayed</a>) Readius display isn't likely to ship in its current form, and now it seems that the future is quite murky for the company and its flagship product.

It looks like Espoo could be prepping to add a fourth line into the mix, though, on news that they've gone ahead and trademarked "Cseries" in Finland. What "C" stands for is anyone's guess, but this does dovetail nicely with the near-constant stream of information suggesting Nokia will be driving hard with <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/rover">MIDs</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/netbook,nokia">netbooks</a> later this year and next, so maybe the "C" stands for "computer." Of course, it could also stand for "crap," so we've just got to wait and see what becomes of this little moniker.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.puhelinvertailu.com%2Fuutiset.cfm%2F2009%2F07%2F18%2Fpaljastus_nokia_hakenut_cseries_tavaramerkkia">puhelinvertailu</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/18/nokia-files-for-cseries-trademark-but-whats-it-for/">Nokia files for "Cseries" trademark -- but what's it for?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:00:00 EST.

So is Intel, or so we hear. In fact, we've been hearing whispers that a capacious 320GB solid state drive was <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/intel-readying-320gb-ssds/">in the works</a> since January, and now those whispers have been upgraded to library-like voices. According to the generally reliable <em>Golum</em>, Intel's so-called Postville SSD family is well on its way to reality, and with them should come much needed price drops. The new series should top out at 320GB, with an 80GB and 160GB version falling underneath. Word on the street has it that both of the smaller two will be around $100 cheaper than the same-sized <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/X25M/">X25-M</a> drives, though there's been no leaks on the 320GB model's MSRP. Still, Intel has a golden opportunity here if it'll just get these things to market -- a cheap(er) SSD with a brand name like Intel could blow the solid state market wide open.<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://idesk.sublevel.us/">Marius</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/storage/" rel="tag">Storage</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/18/intels-34nm-based-320gb-solid-state-drive-creeps-closer-to-real/">Intel's 34nm-based 320GB solid state drive creeps closer to reality</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 08:33:00 EST.

As the mighty Hokies look to prove their dominance in the field of engineering, a student team from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/VirginiaTech/">Virginia Tech</a> has assembled what amounts to a vehicle that can actually be driven by <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/blind/">blind</a> individuals. In short, the specially equipped dirt buggy is outfitted with an array of laser range finders, an instant voice command interface and a few other related systems that enable drivers to respond to whatever the vehicle "sees." Best of all, the project is far beyond the drawing board, with a blind driver (Wes Majerus) already singing praises about the vehicle and deeming it a "liberating" experience. Regrettably, there's no information on what the team plans to do with the vehicle going forward, but we <em>do</em> know it hopes to pass along the same technology to more street-legal motorcars.<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://www.ni.com/">Trisha</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/transportation/" rel="tag">Transportation</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/18/laser-equipped-virginia-tech-dirt-buggy-can-be-driven-by-the-bli/">Laser-equipped Virginia Tech dirt buggy can be driven by the blind</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 06:29:00 EST.

The new FUTRO S100 was revealed today, complete with a 500MHz <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/VIA/">VIA</a> Eden ULV processor that enables the entire system to suck down just 11 watts under full load. Other specs include 1GB of DDR2 memory, a pair of USB 2.0 connectors, VGA output, Ethernet, a VX800 media processor, Chrome9 HC3 graphics and internal CF-based storage support.

Originally shown to the adoring public <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-hands-on/">at CeBIT in Germany</a>, this fresh take on the Eee PC was a welcome change to the drab netbooks we were accustomed to falling asleep on. We managed to have a look at both the ultraslim <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/26/asus-eee-pc-1008ha-seashell-review/">1008HA</a> as well as the more business-oriented <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/asus-eee-pc-1005ha-hands-on-and-impressions-dont-post-or-you-wil/">1005HA</a>, but now we're eager to hear your opinions on the matter. What would you do differently with the Eee PC Seashell line? Would you beef up the battery? Add a few ports? Swap in a different display or processor? We know Microsoft's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/atom-n270-n280-based-netbooks-may-be-stuck-at-windows-xp/">Windows XP limitations</a> are holding PC makers back, but who says your imagination has to abide by those same guidelines?

Regrettably, we're still waiting for the official line from the company, but this will certainly suffice for now. The image you see above is being provided courtesy of a freshly released FCC filing, which means precisely one thing: this here watch phone is destined for America. Of course, we suppose LG could have just made the filing for kicks and giggles, but our optimistic imagination simply won't let us believe such a tragedy could ever occur.

So obviously we were pretty excited to try out the $199 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/atlona-teams-with-wisair-for-wireless-usb-to-hdmi-adapter/">Atlona Technologies HD-AiR</a>, which marries Wireless USB with DisplayLink and promises to send 720p video directly from your laptop to a base station with VGA and HDMI outputs up to 30 feet away -- until we received the box and noted the small print saying that it doesn't support audio. Hopes: dashed.<br /><br />On top of that, we're not sure if it's DisplayLink, Wireless USB, or some combination of the two, but the video link seemed pretty bandwidth-starved -- full-screen video was close to unwatchable, PowerPoint transitions were kinda jerky, and even just moving windows around was pretty choppy. For such a promising -- and much-needed -- device, the HD-AiR just doesn't get it done. Atlona says the next version will have audio support and 1080p video support using the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/displaylink-boldly-enters-hd-realm-on-new-samsung-lapfit-display/">next generation</a> of DisplayLink chips and drivers, but we'd hope the company's engineers spend a little more time in the lab polishing up their 720p framerates before they push this thing any farther.

There were some big announcements, though: Comcast loaded up its On Demand Online offerings with a ton of partner announcements and Palm released the Mojo SDK (and the Pre was blocked from iTunes). On top of that, we saw some more shots of that mysterious slim PS3, Microsoft announced plans to open up retail stores, and Google Chrome remained a hot topic of conversation -- for Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates. Josh and Nilay are here to run it all down, settle in and hit play -- it's podcast time.<br /><br /><br /> <strong>Hosts:</strong> Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel<br /> <strong>Producer:</strong> Trent Wolbe<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Song:</span> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRPG-Al-XoU">Superpowerless - Creep</a><br /><br /><strong>Hear the podcast</strong><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" application="" x-shockwave="" -flash="" data="http://www.weblogsinc.com/media/audio_player.swf" height="24" width="330"> <param value="http://www.weblogsinc.com/media/audio_player.swf" name="movie"> <param value="soundFile=http://podcasts.aolcdn.com/engadget/podcasts/Engadget_Podcast_155.m4a" name="FlashVars"> <param value="high" name="quality"> <param value="false" name="menu"> <param value="transparent" name="wmode"></object><br /><br />00:02:30 - <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/07/14/cbs-comcast-on-demand-online-partnership-faces-off-premium-vs/">CBS, Comcast On Demand Online partnership faces off premium vs. free internet streaming; 17 cable channels jump onboard </a><br />00:15:08 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/palm-makes-mojo-sdk-beta-and-docs-publicly-available-officially/">Palm makes Mojo SDK beta and docs publicly available, officially opens developer floodgates</a><br />00:24:38 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/itunes-8-2-1-brings-pres-music-syncing-capability-to-a-halt/">iTunes 8.2.1 brings Pre's music syncing capability to a halt (updated)</a><br />00:43:05 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/12/probably-fake-video-of-the-ps3-slim-surfaces/">Probably-fake video of the PS3 slim surfaces</a><br />00:48:30 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-confirms-retail-stores-coming-this-fall/">Microsoft confirms retail stores coming this fall</a><br />00:49:30 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/microsoft-exec-says-apple-asked-them-stop-airing-laptop-hunters/">Microsoft exec says Apple asked them stop airing Laptop Hunters ads</a><br />00:51:54 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/bill-gates-calls-chrome-os-more-of-the-same-surprised-people-a/">Bill Gates calls Chrome OS more of the same, "surprised people are acting like there's something new"</a><br />00:53:50 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/steve-ballmer-calls-chrome-os-highly-interesting-says-google/">Steve Ballmer calls Chrome OS "highly interesting," says Google "can't make up their mind"</a><br />00:58:15 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/13/more-alleged-chrome-os-screenshots-for-your-viewing-pleasure/">More alleged Chrome OS screenshots for your viewing pleasure</a><br />01:05:10 - <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/design-your-own-kindle-2-and-win-it-with-engadget-amazon-and/">Design your own Kindle (and win it) with Engadget, Amazon, and Adafruit Industries!</a><br /><br /><strong><br />Subscribe to the podcast</strong><br /> <br /> [<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73329281">iTunes</a>] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (enhanced AAC).<br /> [<a href="http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss.xml">RSS MP3</a>] Add the Engadget Podcast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.<br /> [<a href="http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss-aac.xml">RSS AAC</a>] Add the Engadget Podcast feed (in enhanced AAC) to your RSS aggregator.<br /> [<a href="zune://subscribe/?Engadget=http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss.xml">Zune</a>] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in the Zune Marketplace<br /> <br /> <strong>Download the podcast</strong><br /> <br /> <strong><a href="http://podcasts.aolcdn.com/engadget/podcasts/Engadget_Podcast_155.mp3">LISTEN (MP3)</a><br /> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/podcasts/Engadget_Podcast_155.m4a">LISTEN (AAC)</a><br /> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/podcasts/Engadget_Podcast_155.ogg">LISTEN (OGG)</a><br /> <br />Contact the podcast</strong><br /> <br /> 1-888-ENGADGET or podcast (at) engadget (dot) com.<br /><br />Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/joshuatopolsky">@joshuatopolsky</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/futurepaul">@futurepaul</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/reckless">@reckless</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/engadget">@engadget</a><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/podcasts/" rel="tag">Podcasts</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/engadget-podcast-155-07-17-2009/">Engadget Podcast 155 - 07.17.2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:00:00 EST.

As you can imagine, a lot of people caught in the thick of Winston and Julia's love story aren't very happy -- and rightfully so -- the idea that we "own" the things we buy is pretty fundamental to... ownership. We're not sure exactly what happened, but it seems that the publisher of said novels, MobileReference, has changed its mind about selling content on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kindle/">Kindle</a>, and poof! Amazon remotely deleted all previously purchased copies. It's all a bit Orwellian, is it not? Good thing we "permanently borrowed" hard copies of both from our middle school library, huh? Let Hate Week commence.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> According to commenters on Amazon, this message was sent out from the company's customer service department:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>The Kindle edition books Animal Farm by George Orwell. Published by MobileReference (mobi) &amp; Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) by George Orwell. Published by MobileReference (mobi) were removed from the Kindle store and are no longer available for purchase. When this occurred, your purchases were automatically refunded. You can still locate the books in the Kindle store, but each has a status of not yet available. Although a rarity, publishers can decide to pull their content from the Kindle store.</em><br /><br /></blockquote>While <em>that</em> publisher's version of the book may have been removed, it appears other versions of the novels are still available.<br /><br /><strong>Update 2</strong>: Drew Herdener, Amazon.com's Director of Communications, pinged us directly with the following comment, and now things are starting to make a lot more sense. Seems as if the books were added initially by an outfit that didn't have the rights to the material.<br /><br /><blockquote><em>These books were added to our catalog using our self-service platform by a third-party who did not have the rights to the books. When we were notified of this by the rights holder, we removed the illegal copies from our systems and from customers' devices, and refunded customers. We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers' devices in these circumstances.<br /><br /></em></blockquote>Still, what's upsetting is the idea that something you've purchased can be quietly taken back by Amazon with no explanation and no advance notice. It's a rotten policy, regardless of the motivations behind this particular move.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/amazon-remotely-deletes-orwell-e-books-from-kindles-unpersons-r/">Amazon remotely deletes Orwell e-books from Kindles, unpersons reportedly unhappy (update)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:20:00 EST.
