So the Moto i920 & i930 are unicorns? I wouldn't consider a WinMo flip that rare. There just isn't a market for a fat flip anymore, and that's exactly what any WinMo flip would be - fat.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Hmmm, tried with Opera and IE Mobile from my phone. The FTP server doesn't have the MIME types set to handle .cab files.
You'd think Mozilla of all people would be aware of such things.
If you're mentioning the GSM world variant going through the FCC, why are you showing the label off of the CDMA EVDO model? *scratches head*
This isn't news. Sprint released a memo on the delay almost a month ago. It's been pushed back until Oct 24th (Friday) to allow for delayed shipments from HTC to arrive from China and be distributed to all channels for a symmetrical launch.

Goto your local Sprint-owned store Oct 24th if you want it immediately.

Oct 19th the following phones are confirmed for released and most stores already received their shipments of: Samsung Rant, Samsung Highnote, LG Lotus.
Right now I would suggest keeping an eye on getting a half-height card that includes (or manufacturer offered) low-profile bracket. As current MediaCenter Hardware is getting small enough to fit into tighter cases and still provide the function of full towers, the growing trend right now is making "cable box" sized HTPC's.

Look for the Chaintech 512MB GeForce 8600 GT, Model GSV86GT. The KFA2 9600GT low-profile card is too power hungry for most MediaCenter use, but the 8600GT from Chaintech doesn't require additional power and works great. If you want to put it in a slimline case then you can order the low-profile bracket from Chaintech directly for 10$ (includes shipping).

And last, I recommend Nvidia over ATI for HTPC use because PureVideo HD is just a better looking software video processor in my opinion.
*raises hand* I'll take this one...as-is!
Hand me over the treasure!
Sure hope Woody (original commenter) didn't have "Email me when someone replies to this comment" checked. It'll take an hour to clean that mess up.
Well I'm leaning toward being fake because not only does it show Luna window frames it has a Win98 taskbar. And the glare of the screen is wrong.

This picture appears to be a 90% successful photochop.

It is most likely an unbranded ODM prototype that wasn't turned on. Some eager beaver added a desktop image and created piss-poor glare to represent a lit display and slapped a Dell logo on there with an extra layer of light source to shine the logo. Also pay attention the the right bottom corner of the screen. The shadows don't line up along the right or bottom edges of the frame agains thte screen.

Engadget shouldn't put "leaked" when it's a fake. Usually Engadget discourages rumor-mongering. You guys know better.

Plus, I remember seeing an image of an Acer prototype like this about a year ago when LED backlighting was the big design buzz. Can't remember where it was but I'm sure someone else here will have a saved image or link to it.

I think I'm losing faith in Engadget here if they're going to start pushing out photochops from random forums as news.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
