The Daily Engadget: Windows 7 Far Outselling Vista, DROID Launches

by Tim Stevens on November 6, 2009 at 10:15 AM

The Daily Engadget: Windows 7 Sales 234 Percent Higher than Vista's, PS3 Now Streaming Netflix
Our friends over at Engadget obsessively cover everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics, which is why we compile this daily roundup of their top stuff (or, at least, what we think is tops). For more details on any of these stories, click on the Engadget links in each story below.

Windows 7 Early Sales Figures 234-Percent Higher Than Vista's
Although Windows Vista got reasonably positive reviews when it was released, that last generation of Microsoft OS absolutely failed to capture the hearts and minds of consumers. That's not the case with the days-old Windows 7, which is selling more than twice as quickly as its predecessor did.

Verizon Starts Shilling DROID and DROID Eris
These days, smartphones are popping up in the marketplace with the frequency of zits on a blogger's forehead. Motorola's coveted DROID, and its stripped-down DROID Eris model, are now both on sale with two-year contracts at Verizon's Web site -- the former for $200 (after a $100 online mark-down) and the latter at $100.

Netflix PlayStation 3 Instant Streaming Discs Now Shipping
The days of the Xbox 360's lockdown on Netflix streaming are over. Welcome, PS3 owners, to what you've been missing all these years.

BlackBerry Curve 8350 Official at Sprint
No sooner had the BlackBerry Bold 9700 dropped than business users were given another option: the Curve 8350. Officially at Sprint, and while the company isn't announcing price or availability, we're guessing it'll be relatively inexpensive.

Mavizen's Electric Motorcycle Hits 130mph
We've ridden the Zero S and the Brammo Enertia, two electric bikes that, while great fun, weren't exactly fast. The new Mavizen TTX02's got a little more giddy-up, able to reach speeds of 130mph.

VUDU Brings Internet Apps to More HDTVs
Televisions that only let you watch TV are so quaint. Thanks to VUDU, new sets from LG and Mitsubishi can view pictures from Flickr or Picasa, stream music from Pandora, and -- we're sure -- will have many other frilly Internet add-ons in the very near future.
