Engadget’s Holiday Gift Guide, 2008! 24 November 2008 at 6:30 pm by admin

Welcome to the Engadget Holiday Gift Guide! We know as well as anyone what a ridiculous mess it is shopping for tech gifts for your family and friends, especially when you tack on the crowds, the traffic, and hearing Jingle Bell Rock 80,000 times. Sure, it seems like you’ve got an infinite number of options to comb through, but with our Holiday Gift Guide we’re aiming to simplify that gadget gift giving experience and pinpoint a most excellent present for just about anyone.

Here’s how we do our thing: the HGG is actually a series of smaller guides broken down first by whom you’ll be buying gifts for, and then by price range. Today we’re starting with him, easily the most discerning gadget giftee; in a few days we’ll go to her, then son, daughter, dad, mom, and so on. The guides will be collected in a landing page which can be helpfully sorted by price and recipient (which will be up soon). We’ll publish a new guide every few days through Christmas, so you’ll have plenty of time to shop around online and in stores, and we do suggest you check out all the guides — especially since you never know when you’ll find something you want for yourself.

Enjoy, and happy holidays!

+ Production Tesla Roadster gets glorious hands-on: stifle your envy, please By admin 24 November 2008 at 5:52 pm and have No Comments

Here at Engadget, we hold a special place in our hearts for Mr. Jason Calacanis, but regardless of whose name is on the pink slip, there’s no denying that the vehicle you’re peering at above just struck all sorts of jealousy in your chest. This Very Orange (seriously) Tesla Roadster is one of the very first to be produced with the revamped drivetrain, and according to the lucky (lucky!) souls over at AutoblogGreen who were able to give it a go, the “new, higher torque motor immediately made its presence felt.” All that aside, we know you’re here for the photos, so head on down to the read link when you’ve got ten or so free minutes to shuffle through. Let’s just say you’ll have a new appreciation for one Drew Phillips (photographer) when you’re done treating your retinas.
