Palm confirms Bird, Plane, (Unlocking Mobile) but no Centro for September 12th announcement
Palm confirms Bird, Plane, but no Centro for September 12th announcement
Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds Hey, everyone getting amped about the Centro — all seven of you (and yes, there are at least a couple Engadget staffers in that tight group) — your wait might be a little longer than expected. Contrary to previous suggestions that Palm’s European announcement on the 12th of September would be for that bizarre little beast with the tiny keyboard, Palm’s Stephanie Richardson has posted a brief note on the official Palm blog to let everyone know that “It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s not Centro.” If it’s any consolation, she specifically uses the phrase “new device,” so we’ll apparently see something new here — we’re just back to square one trying to figure out what the heck it is. Sure ain’t a Foleo!Update: As WMExperts speculates, the Windows Mobile-based Gandolf seems like the leading candidate here, largely on account of the Vodafone-branded pictures we’ve seen floating around. Same polarizing styling, different platform; pick your poison!

Poll: iPhone price drop blues
Filed under: Cellphones, Portable Audio, Portable Video It’s never a bad thing when you can get good gear for less money, but we totally feel the pain of all those that spent hours or days waiting in line to buy an iPhone for $600 only to have that price cut by a third within the first few months. Then again, we know it’s a little bit of a contradiction: c’mon, chances are if you bought an iPhone really early on you probably didn’t care too much about the price anyway. Or maybe you did — now’s your chance to sound off.P.S. -Apple offers a 10 day price guarantee — you knew that right? If you snagged an iPhone in the past ten days (we’ve also heard two weeks), get some of that money back!

Apple adds iPhone ringtones to iTunes
Filed under: Cellphones digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/apple/Apple_adds_iPhone_ringtones_to_iTunes’; A new version of iTunes supporting custom ringtones for the iPhone ships this evening. They’ll run 99 cents on top of the cost of the song, but in trade, you’ll be able to make your own custom ringtone from the song. They can run up to 30 seconds in length, denoted by bells that appear next to “ringtoneable” songs — which’ll be 500,000 of ‘em at launch. Apple flips the switch to enable the feature “next week.” Permalink | Email this | CommentsOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
