4iThumbs overlay adds a tactile keyboard to your iPhone... sorta (video) (Engadget)

I believe he's meaning the developments that would allow phone screens to truly provide tactile feedback, such as raising and lowering.
The currently implemented reiterations of haptics merely provides a bit of feedback to confirm your press, a far cry from the tactile feedback a hard-keyboard can provide.

Or am I wrong? I only messed with the Hero for a few minutes.

Windows Mobile looks to be getting new native keyboard in 6.5.3 (Engadget)

Nov 25th 2009 4:42PM Looks highly undeveloped thus far, an improved keyboard is a VERY welcome change for WinMo. HTC's offerings are nice, but WinMo definitely needs a native onscreen keyboard that doesn't complete suck for finger usage.

Microsoft roadmap pegs Windows 8 release for 2012, or just after the world's end (Engadget)

Nov 21st 2009 1:16PM You are aware Windows 7 IS version 7 but was labeled 6.1 to retain compatibility, right?

Facebook finally comes to webOS, not with a bang but a whimper (Engadget)

Nov 16th 2009 2:26AM I'm with Harney. The WinMo Facebook App is definitely better and possesses more features.

Black Friday deals bonanza round up (Engadget)

Nov 14th 2009 3:24PM It's a tough call since none of the desktops on the site are listed having 1TB hard drives.
Whenever more information gets posted, try and see if you can grab a shot of the inside or a listing of the available slots on the motherboard. HP does some funky stuff with the available ports on their motherboards, ie: My friend's didn't have a PCI-E slot, one of our customer's computers lacked any PCI slots at all.
Just a word of caution is all.

Microsoft's dual-screen Courier booklet emerges, isn't near production (Engadget)

Sep 23rd 2009 5:05AM I'm sure with such a big screen and advanced touch registration, you could just create a roll-out keyboard you can sit on the screen to make it easier to touch type. :]

Video: DFI hybrid motherboard runs two whole systems... simultaneously! (Engadget)

Sep 18th 2009 4:55PM I can see this being levied as a low-power solution for casual web/office editing.
As opposed to running a full pledged cpu [Core2/i7/etc] and gpu that would produce a large amount of heat, use more power, and create more noise [I'm sure fan speeds could be lowered for Atom use], you could could simply boot up on the Atom side.

Engadget's back to school giveaway part 2: win an Xbox 360 prize pack! (Engadget)

Sep 7th 2009 3:34PM Having a console would be pretty nice.

Scratch-n-Scroll noteable mousepad puts the "do" back in "To Do" list (Engadget)

Sep 7th 2009 1:35AM I had to start using a mouse pad when I noticed that my mouse's pads were starting to rub away some of my desk's paint.

Microsoft's CEDIA event September 9th to reveal what's new in Media Center (Engadget)

Aug 25th 2009 3:47PM There hasn't been anything THAT BIG added to iPods for a very long time.
Other than those lovely $10 firmware upgrades.
