It seems there's no shortage of amateur flight enthusiasts sending balloons into the sky. Still, when you consider the money and resources devoted to most of these missions, it's hard to call them "amateur" projects at all. But a group of people in San Francisco recently proved that new ballooning heights can still be reached for relatively cheap. According to Wired, seven electronics nuts who ...

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines.... James Cameron's 3-D epic 'Avatar' generated more than $75 million in ticket sales over the weekend, helping this past weekend to become the most successful in Hollywood history. 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Up in the Air' also contributed to the $278 million in total sales. [From: Business Week] Apple is having a tough publicity day, as ...

We've heard that it's been showing up on doorsteps and in stores for a few days now, but T-Mobile has just officially given the word that the G1 is now available in white to complement bronze and the especially personality-free black (not to say there's anything wrong with that, black G1 owners). The price, hardware, and software are all the same, so if you thought this release might somehow ...

Like buying stuff but hate getting ripped off? There's a new, free iPhone app on the App Store there called SnapTell Explorer that's going to make buying stuff even easier (though no more spiritually satisfying). Essentially, you take a photo of the cover of any CD, DVD, book, or video game, and it automatically identifies the product and finds ratings and pricing information online. And, ...

Smartphones are getting cheaper and cheaper every day, with the simple ones like Palm's Centro available for well under $100 now, and the fancier new ones like the Apple iPhone or Android-toting G1 for well under $200. Yes, that's not exactly loose change for most, but did you know that today's intelligent handsets might just help you save some money in the long run? The idea is that an ...

Well, now isn't this something? Best Buy has its fancy little iPhone 3G, but it'll be Wally World offering up the G1 outside of official T-Mobile outlets. As we'd heard yesterday, 550 Wal-Mart stores across the country will begin selling the Android-powered handset beginning tomorrow, and folks who opt to pick one up here versus a traditional T-Mob store will save $31.11. Yep -- according to ...

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/T_Mobile_G1_now_available'; Now that T-Mobile's systematic discrimination against non-T-Mobile customers (how dare they?) has come to an end, we can all exhale, pull out our credit cards and get to maxin' out the plastic. That's right -- the Android-powered G1 is now available for sale from T-Mob's Web site to all comers, though we're only seeing the ...

HYPE CHECK: T-Mobile G1 What it is: The T-Mobile G1, a.k.a. the Android "Google" phone. Why it's different: The G1 is the first phone to debut the Android operating system for mobile phones, which is Google's entree into the cell phone space (and an attempt to go head-to-head with the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile phones). This means it's essentially a newfangled smart ...

Bad news Google-philes, T-Mobile has stopped taking pre-orders for the Android-powered G1, at least for now. Apparently, demand for for the new handset has been so high that T-Mobile has ceased being able to even estimate when you might be able to get your hands on the device. Attempting to order the device results in this message being displayed: "Sorry! Due to the overwhelming popularity of ...

Well, it's finally official (this morning T-Mobile and Google made an announcement in NYC, which is where we are right now). The Google phone is officially now known as the T-Mobile G1. When closed it looks an awful lot like the iPhone, which a touchscreen that, at least from watching the video T-Mobile showed us this morning, looks an awful lot like the iPhone. But that screen actually swivels ...

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Meet_the_T_Mobile_G1_Engadget'; Uh, c'mon guys -- this is a little ridiculous. Now typically, you want to keep this sort of thing under wraps until the day of your event, but it seems like the cats and kittens at T-Mobile can't contain themselves. Yes, you're looking at the first official product shot of the G1 Android phone ever. Enjoy it. Update: TmoNews ...

Snap -- looks like the Android-powered T-Mobile G1 is peeking out a little early in the form of a non-working pre-registration link on the my.t-mobile.com customer portal. No specs or info, but if you had any doubt this thing was coming on Tuesday we'd say it just got cleared up. Get ready for the Googlephone, kids. [Thanks, RionSTL and Mike] ...
