" If you want to take a quick photo to upload to your Facebook page, either camera on iPod touch can also capture stills."

Three will carry iPhone 4 in the UK, O2 cuts off unlimited data

Jun 10th 2010 11:28AM (TUAW.com)
3's 'Unlimited Internet' Fair Usage is now 500Mb, and 10p/Mb after that, meaning O2's overage charges of £5 per 500Mb seem favourable compared to 3's £50 per 500Mb

The store is Back Up!

My money is on this.

Eye-Fi bringing trio of WiFi-enabled SD cards to UK

Oct 10th 2009 3:30AM (Engadget)
Great, but plain 4Gb SD cards can be picked up for well under £10, in fact you can pick up a 32Gb card for £60, only £10 more than the cheapest Eye-Fi.

UK gets paid apps in the Android Market tomorrow

Mar 11th 2009 8:17PM (Engadget Mobile)
Yup - it's gone live in the UK.

However some apps are appearing in Pounds, some in Euros and some in US dollars. Upon getting to the pre-confirmation screen Google Checkout converts the price to Pounds.

1337pwn application available for Android OS

Jan 10th 2009 5:09PM (Joystiq Xbox)
I installed this today and:

Good:
- Can add anyone's gamertag to your list, just type it in and you're away. Clicking on the user you can see their avatar and list of played games etc.
- Android Notifications. The same way Android notifies you of incoming E-Mail, SMS and IM, this app adds a little 'ring-of-light' icon to the notification bar if anyone in your list signs into Xbox Live, and it seems to be push notification.

Bad, but not too bad:
- It's all manual. Much like the app on other platforms, you can't just enter your gamertag and watch the app pull your friends list in, so you have to manually enter the gamertag of every Live user you want to add. However this isn't too bad as it lets you filter your list to those select users you do want to see (and it's probably like this due to the way the Live API's work)
- Notifications: If you put your own gamertag into the app, your phone will end up telling you your online, every time you switch your 360 on. You can switch Notifications off entirely, but not by user (Then again, this isn't too bad - you'll know when someone is using your 360/gamertag when you're not!)

3's Facebook-loving INQ1 launches in the UK

Nov 13th 2008 11:34AM (Engadget)
Any initial top-up (starting credit) or bonus top-up (e.g. for transferring your number to 3) has a 30-day expiry.

Any top-up you buy after that has NO expiry date (subject to making/receiving a call/text every 180 days - the same clause for any PAYG phone in the UK). When you buy a top-up you get 30 days of Skype-To-Skype and MSN free, after which another top-up is required, but your existing credit never invalidates.

3 dropped the 30-day expiry on top ups a couple of years ago.

Rumor: Zombie Wranglers shambles to XBLA soon

It's legit, I saw it last night and thought, "Ooh, never heard of that one". Pressed A and was greeted with a 'No items in that category' message.

iPhone 2.1 software update announced (update: $10 for iPod touch owners)

Sep 9th 2008 4:19PM (Engadget Mobile)
From the bottom of that page:

"*If you’ve already upgraded to the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch, the 2.1 update is free."

Just before your 'Update' makes people think they'll be paying for it if they have 2.0.
