Pigeon transmits data faster than leading South African internet provider

Sep 10th 2009 8:21AM on Engadget

You must live out in the sticks, I get 50MB in a relatively small town (20,000 peeps max) I'd do 1GB in less than 3 minutes.

But yeah UK internet (ADSL mainly) sucks, but I don't think as bad as above (80MB in over 2 hours!) for the vast majority.

CEDIA 2009 Windows Media Center predictions

Aug 10th 2009 11:34AM on Engadget HD

Please please please a Sky HD tuner!

Windows media center is basically useless without it in the UK if you ask me as freeview (FTA digital) is pretty rubbish and Sky dominate the pay TV and have exclusive access to most of the big HD Shows (lost, 24, BSG, House...) and then they also have just about all the sport.

I've been waiting for such a product for years, really, YEARS!

1930's rear projection TV in the UK still in service

Jul 22nd 2009 3:55AM on Engadget

The BBC is one of the best things about being British and is well worth the License Fee.

With a media source free of commerical pressures we get programmes that just can't be produced anywhere else. No product placement or advertisers to insist on positive reviews, no interviews that are just stars shilling some more junk.

If America had a BBC you'd all love it.

Monolith hiring for new 'first-person action game'

Maybe it's a new 'Blood' Game, man I loved those back in the day! LOL

Confirmed: Google was naughty, broke App Store rules with iPhone app

Nov 26th 2008 3:54PM on Engadget

They need to open up a little, imagine the killing some would make with an iPhone spam filter?

Steve Ballmer confirms Zune coming to Windows Mobile

Oct 2nd 2008 5:30PM on Engadget

I've been saying this should be done for a long time now. I just wish they'd also make Zune available over here in the UK.

Subscription music on a HTC Touch HD would by sweetness for me.

Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, the DRM of the future?

Sep 13th 2008 6:57PM on Engadget

First everyone who says DRM sucks should really be saying DRM that doesn't work sucks. Which is all DRM to date.

If this system really does work and I can switch my media from my Sony Player to my Toshiba Player to my Xbox and my PC then it's good. Hopefully with that sort of backing it can become an industry standard.

Oh and by the way entertainment industry people, welcome to 1995!

HTC Touch HD takes 480 x 800 pixels fullscreen

Sep 10th 2008 9:22AM on Engadget

That looks like the phone I've been wanting for about 2 years now. Just hope it has plenty of memory, FM radio and if MS can sort a Zune client for WinMo, then I'm sold.

Hands-on: Sony shows off prototype 400-disc Blu-ray Mega Changer

Sep 4th 2008 5:22PM on Engadget

I would really like one of these, as ripping a Blu-ray collection to HDD just isn't very economic. But I'd like to see them with multiple players inside so I can have this fridge tucked away and various TV around the house can watch different Blu-rays and a time. Then have them daisychainable so when there are enough Blu-rays worth buying you can just add-on as needed.

Revo's new PICO hybrid radio pairs DAB and WiFi with great success

Aug 14th 2008 3:51PM on Engadget

If you don't like it F Off! I'm sure we won't miss you.

UK Radio is awesome, we get everything covered by the BBC, and if commercial stations want us to sit through their ads then they've got to up there game to something much better than the BBC.

Fish n Chips (and mushy peas) for the win!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
