So all the bugs have suddenly been resolved?
And I can use my BT keyboard in 2006 ITOS?
And all those applications have been ported to 2006 ITOS overnight?

Really??

frenchie, Engadget is a blog, not CNN. Our readers read us as much for the spin we put on the news as they do for the news itself. We do not, nor have we ever, pretended to be sterile in our reporting, because, well, that would be boring. If that offends you or you find you don't get value from what we bring to the table, we encourage you to look elsewhere.

OK, now I /know/ you don't write for Engadget: there's not a single rude word in this entire post. Not one, dammit!

I know,

Just another example why blogs need to be held to some standards especially when blogs like yours are used for public opinion from major news outlets such as CNN. And as such from your previous comment you obviouly have never taken any such class. The sensationalism is left for the reader not the "blogger".

And since this isn't the place for such a debate I'm ending this now.

Funny how the promised Q2 of 2006 and they're releasing it on the last day. Good job guys!

I love the sarcasm offered by Engadget (I'm not being sarcastic myself, I really do like it). I just don't feel that the majority of us wanted to chuck our < 1 yr old tablets for something with a thumb board. :)

True, and yes sometimes sarcasm in reporting is warented. Granted Engadget is nothing like NPR or The New York Times, but please when I read every article I don't enjoy being blasted with sarcasm and sensationalistic (is that even a word?) arictles.

Engadget
 
READ SOMETHING ELSE.

Simple.

If you don't like the Engadget style then get your sarcastic tech news from another source.

Seriously, the audacity of some people amazes me.

This thread is drifting waaaaayyy off topic but I got to give my 2 cents....

FREE SPEECH! You don't like the style or the content or the way they part their hair, go somewhere else.
