Since then, we here at <em>Engadget</em> have heard some vague and hard to substantiate claims of hardware failures -- cracked screens, a little broken plastic here and there -- but nothing on a large scale, so far as we can tell. We thought it was about time to turn it over to you the readers (the ones lucky enough to have a Pre, anyway), to tell us how the phone is holding up physically. Is it tough as nails or is it falling apart? Poll is after the break.<br /><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/poll-hows-your-palm-pre-holding-up/#poll31560">View Poll</a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/poll-hows-your-palm-pre-holding-up/">Poll: How's your Palm Pre holding up?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:04:00 EST.

While Microsoft still isn't saying anything official itself just yet, a number of different sources are reporting that the company has set July 10th as the date for the final gold build of Windows 7, while the big release to manufacturing date is apparently on track for July 13th. Of course, things could still change if there's a major bug or other problem encountered, but barring any disasters, that'll likely be the same build that finds its way onto your PC this fall.</div> </div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/desktops/" rel="tag">Desktops</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/windows-7-release-to-manufacturing-reportedly-on-track-for-july/">Windows 7 release to manufacturing reportedly on track for July 13th</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:04:00 EST.

Today, <em>Sony Insider</em> has pointed out that the outfit may be readying a new duo to complement the megazoom: the DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1. If the latest whispers prove legitimate, the TX1 will boast a 10 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom, 3-inch LCD, 720p movie mode and a price tag somewhere south of $400. The WX1 should check in as a lower-end model with 10 megapixels, a 5x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD and the same 720p movie mode; why exactly it'll be cheaper we're not sure, but that's the good word at the moment. E-tailer <em>Provantage</em> already has listings for both cameras up, so it seems as if it's just a matter of time before Sony confirms all the good news.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.sonyinsider.com/2009/07/03/sony-preparing-to-announce-dsc-tx1-and-dsc-wx1-cameras-this-month/">Sony Insider</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/digitalcameras/" rel="tag">Digital Cameras</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/sony-readying-cybershot-dsc-tx1-and-dsc-wx1-megazooms/">Sony readying CyberShot DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1 cameras?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:18:00 EST.

Just months after we saw an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/09/iphone-prototype-surfaces-on-ebay-aims-to-fetch-a-pretty-penny/">original iPhone prototype</a> (ancient OS included) pop up on The 'Bay, now we've got one of the world's first iPhone 3GSs on there as well. According to the highly ranked eBay seller, the "guy" he "got it from" actually stumbled upon it at an airport, and rather than doing the nonsensical thing of hitting up lost and found, he decided to make the most of the sudden opportunity. According to the new owner, an Apple Genius has confirmed that it is an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iPhone3GS/">iPhone 3GS</a>, but due to its prototype nature, they can't help him get past the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

Drivers of 2-ton cages are simply immune to anything but the sights and sounds of combustion engines riding four on the floor. This issue affects silent-running hybrids and compact electrics too, something Japan's government is taking seriously in a new government review that could result in a mandate for the inclusion of "a sound making function" in their future eco-rides. Safety aside, we presume Japanese manufacturers would choose a sound that's as tasteful and unassuming as their locally brewed hybrids.

When it comes to stone carvings, this typically requires a researcher with plenty of energy, time and skill, but scientists at the National Technical University of Athens have now developed a computer algorithm that promises to revolutionize the entire process. By overlaying digital scans of known inscribers' work, the Greek team are able to recognize stylistic idiosyncrasies and thereby identify the author of a carving. Their accuracy was confirmed by a recent test, in which they attributed proper authorship of 24 stone tablets, picking out the correct chiseler each time. Next step: seeking royalty payments for the works of your great uncle Xanthos.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/science/" rel="tag">Science</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/handwriting-recognition-offers-accurate-way-for-dating-stone-t/">'Handwriting' recognition offers accurate way for dating stone tablets</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:00:00 EST.

The magic begins with a 3GS jailbreak released by <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/geohot">GeoHot</a>. See, George is fed up with the Dev-Team's insistence on waiting until Apple releases iPhone OS version 3.1. As he puts it:<br /><blockquote>Normally I don't make tools for the general public, and rather wait for the dev team to do it. But guys, whats up with waiting until 3.1? That isn't how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes. It isn't worth waiting because you might have the "last" hole in the iPhone. What last hole...this isn't golf. I'll find a new one next week. <br /></blockquote> Meeeeow. After performing the jailbreak, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ultrasn0w">ultrasn0w</a> <em>should</em> then take care of the unlock although we haven't seen official comment on this by GeoHot or the Dev-Team yet.

Fine, but what you may not know is that O2 and Hi (part of KPN) are also deeply intertwined with Telefonica -- O2 being owned by Telefonica and KPN being an "integrated carrier" with a long history of Telefonica courtship rumors.

The new imedia lineup immediately recalls the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/28/acer-introduces-aspire-m5800-and-m3800-desktops-x3810-display/">recently announced M-series</a> desktops from Acer, and that's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/acer-gobbles-up-75-of-packard-bell/">no accident</a>. The innards are remarkably similar too, with the top models sporting Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom II X4 processors, a 1.5GB GeForce GT230, HDMI out, Blu-Ray combo drive and a maximum of 8GB DDR3 memory and 1TB of storage. While none of the specs are on the blistering edge of innovation, there's plenty of power there and keen pricing could make them an attractive proposition. The entry-level Celeron-based units start at &pound;299 ($490) in the UK.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/desktops/" rel="tag">Desktops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/03/packard-bell-imedia-lineup-gets-an-acer-inspired-refresh/">Packard Bell imedia lineup gets an Acer-inspired refresh</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:47:00 EST.

So imagine our surprise to discover the Self-Portrait Machine, a device that snaps your photo and then forces you to draw your own face by dragging your bound hands around until the portrait is complete. Jen Hui Liao's project is the result of an observation that "our personal identities are represented by the products of the man-machine relationship." So it's like art and the intersection of philosophy... only it's not -- it's just a robot too lazy to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/27/salvador-dabot-robot-portraitist-extraordinaire/">make the portrait itself</a>.

At about one inch thick by <em>TechDigest's</em> estimates, the G Box (working title) certainly compact, and we definitely give points to it running NVIDIA's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Ion/">Ion</a> platform, Windows XP, at least six USB ports, and a 160GB hard drive. Unfortunately, there's no HDMI port -- that's coming in a later model -- and at &pound;179 ($293 US), we'd be hard pressed to pick this over the HDMI-equipped AspireRevo, but we'll await judgment until we can try this thing out for ourselves.

While we haven't heard much about it during that time, the company recently completed its most advanced prototype to date, dubbed Mercury, and it's taken advantage of the opportunity to show off all the progress it has made. As you can see in the video after the break, the bot is able to fly about and hover in place by mimicking the wing movement of a real hummingbird and, of course, be controlled completely untethered. What's more, the firm says that the final version will actually look like a real hummingbird as well, and be able to be controlled from up to a kilometer away -- even inside buildings, where a hummingbird won't look at all out of place.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/07/video-pentagons-robo-hummingbird-flies-like-the-real-thing/">Danger Room</a>]<br /></div> </div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/darpa-contractor-shows-off-tiny-robo-hummingbird-uav/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>DARPA contractor shows off tiny robo-hummingbird UAV</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/robots/" rel="tag">Robots</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/darpa-contractor-shows-off-tiny-robo-hummingbird-uav/">DARPA contractor shows off tiny robo-hummingbird UAV</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:57:00 EST.

It's an SXGA (1400x1050) projector with a 7500 lumens brightness and a 7500:1 contrast ratio, more information here: <a href="http://www.akihabaranews.com/news-18314-X.html" class="lngrn2" target="_blank"> Sanyo Releases Two High Resolution, High Brightness Projector Models</a>.

One of them was really interesting, a music maker app where the player interacts and plays music with an instrument projected with a Sanyo projector.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately more business oriented,

What that means for gamers is probably nothing in the near future, since the firmware'll underclock it to standard speeds and we've seen absolutely no sign Sony's interested in releasing software exclusively for the UMD-less iteration at this point. Of course, the opportunity to capitalize on the upped hardware is gonna be there, and we still remember a noticeable difference in the technical quality of games released after Sony bumped its original PSP's clockspeed <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/">from 266MHz to its max 333MHz</a>, but for now, it's just something to keep in the back of your mind.<br /> <br /> [Via <a href="http://www.sonyinsider.com/2009/07/02/sonys-psp-go-true-processor-speed-revealed/">Sony Insider</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/" rel="tag">Gaming</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/pspgo-packs-a-480mhz-processor-probably-not-crossing-333mhz-mar/">PSPgo packs a 480MHz processor, probably not crossing 333MHz mark</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:01:00 EST.

In an interview with <em>Yonhap</em>, LG's president of its mobile business, Ahn Seung-kwon, stated that the company hoped to bump Samsung to the wayside by 2012 with the help of a serious new set and a premium brand. While the gaudiness of really expensive handsets disturbs us at times, we'll admit that mention that LG's looking at a foray into the &uuml;ber high end of the spectrum -- with the likes of Nokia's <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/Vertu/">Vertu</a> -- piques our curiosity a good deal.

The new battery prototype is primarily composed of a zinc anode and a manganese cathode that can be screen printed and covered with a non-printed template cover. Each mercury-free battery weighs less than one gram, and can individually produce about 1.5 volts of electricity. By placing several batteries side by side, however, up to 6 volts can be generated. The institute has already produced these little power houses in the lab, and hopes to see them into production by the end of the year. The batteries have a relatively short lifespan, making them suitable for applications such as powering greeting cards.

In fact, the last major iPhone exploit to take the world by storm happened right around this time <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/safari-exploit-gives-hackers-full-control-of-your-iphone/">two years ago</a>, and now -- thanks to OS X security expert Charlie Miller -- we're seeing yet another come to light. Over at the SyScan conference in Singapore, Mr. Miller disclosed a hole that would let attackers "run software code on the phone that is sent by SMS over a mobile operator's network in order to monitor the location of the phone using GPS, turn on the phone's microphone to eavesdrop on conversations, or make the phone join a distributed denial of service attack or a botnet." Charlie's planning to detail the vulnerability in full at the upcoming <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/BlackHat/">Black Hat</a> conference, but Apple's hoping to have it all patched up by the end of this month.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://hothardware.com/News/iPhone-SMS-Vulnerability-Found-Getting-Patched/">HotHardware</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/apple-patching-nasty-iphone-sms-vulnerability/">Apple patching nasty iPhone SMS vulnerability </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:01:00 EST.

The new flagship model, 3 Vision, comes with a 3-inch touchscreen, 8GB of storage, microSDHC card slot, video playback, and a few less significant features like a voice recorder, calendar, stopwatch and an FM transmitter for streaming music to your Hi-Fi. Positioned as a direct competitor to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/ipod-touch-unboxed-and-um-touched/">iPod touch</a>, the new Archos will cost nearly half as much at &pound;90 ($148). Other models detailed today include the 2 Vision -- a 1.8-inch version of the foregoing that loses video playback but gains a 16GB option likely to be priced at &pound;50 ($82) -- and the Archos Clipper, a 2GB no-frills player priced at &pound;20 ($32). For those looking to get a head start on everyone else, the 8GB 2 Vision is already available through Archos' online store for &pound;40 ($65).<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/news.phtml/25244/archos-clipper-vision-range-pmps.phtml">Pocket-lint</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portableaudio/" rel="tag">Portable Audio</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/portablevideo/" rel="tag">Portable Video</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-vision-pmps-get-uk-pricing-august-release/">Archos Vision PMPs get UK pricing, August release</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:32:00 EST.

A patent application doesn't necessarily mean an actual product is on the way -- but it's always fun to speculate, right? And this latest trio of applications from Apple certainly provides plenty of speculation fodder. The most notable of the lot is an application for a "multi-touch display screen with localized tactile feedback," which Apple seems to be at least considering as a possibility for the iPhone (or iPod touch). Like some similar systems, Apple's application covers a screen that uses a grid of piezoelectric actuators that can be activated at will to provide vibrational feedback when you touch the screen. Apple even goes so far as to use a virtual click wheel on an iPhone as an example. Other patent applications include a fairly self-explanatory RFID reader embedded in a touch screen, and a fingerprint identification system that could not only be used for security, but to identify individual fingers as an input method -- for instance, letting you use your index finger for play/stop and your middle finger to fast forward.<br /></div> </div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

This enterprising gentleman, fed up with suffering through the three-finger scroll of his Eee PC 901, integrated the trackball of his Apple Mighty Mouse into the netbook's palm rest. Of course, this took some time and effort: in the end, the trackball leads had to be unsoldered from the mainboard, the trackball itself soldered to the mainboard, and the whole shebang installed under the surface of the netbook itself. But you know what? It works. That is, until the Mighty Mouse itself craps out -- as they have been known to do. Still, it's all in a day's work for a heroic modder. Right?

It's kind of cute, really.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2009/07/01/pystar-emerges-from-chapter-11-and-still-making-applesauce/">TUAW</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/desktops/" rel="tag">Desktops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/psystar-bounces-back-from-chapter-11-intros-new-high-end-hardwa/">Psystar bounces back from Chapter 11, intros new high-end hardware</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:16:00 EST.

For the record, Bands II and V are 1900 and 850MHz, respectively, which is exactly the combo AT&amp;T subscribers would need to flip the switch on high-speed data. We're not sure if this negates rumors that the Hero would be coming to Sprint, but if we can just get this version released and in our hands, you know... maybe our minds would be operating with a little more clarity.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag">Cellphones</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/htc-hero-hits-fcc-with-us-3g/">HTC Hero hits FCC with US 3G</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:54:00 EST.

We'll embroider, crochet, or quilt until the sun sets for the last time on the day of the apocalypse, but knitting is just so... boring sometimes. Luckily, ingenious artist Merel Karhof has a solution for the monotony of the knit - purl - knit - purl routine. She's designed and invented a machine that knits all on its own, harnessing the ever-present power of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/windpower/">wind</a>. Called the Wind Knitting Factory, the automatic knitting machine itself looks like a cross between an old-timey coffee grinder and a medieval torture device (which we like about it very much), and knits a scarf in about two hours. This isn't likely to be the type of thing that every hits the retail market, but we'll tell you this: if it did, we'd be first in line. Hit the read links for video, more photos, and an explanation of the machine's design.<br /><br /><a href="http://platformtworca.wordpress.com/introduction/free-powers/">Read</a> - Merel Karhof's blog<br /><a href="http://www.merelkarhof.nl/merel%20karhof/Blog%20merelkarhof/234C1792-CA2E-44F5-9A49-0B9669A9E4DD.html">Read</a> - Show RCA Wind Knitting Factory<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/gadgets/" rel="tag">Misc.

What really sets this one apart, however, is the vacuum-formed chassis and the instant "make me an offer" move to a sale -- being owned by a major faceless media conglomerate ourselves, we like to see a guy who's out for a buck.

The title, dubbed Asteroid Storm, will rely on two overhead cameras that recognize hand raises down below.
