T-Mobile G2 gets a teaser site, will be network's first HSPA+ phone

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/18/t-mobile-g2-gets-a-teaser-site-will-be-networks-first-hspa-ph/

It's called the G2, it'll run Android, and it's T-Mobile's first phone to ride those wannabe-4G HSPA+ airwaves. Those are the facts we have. As to the speculation, a previous roadmap leak and T-Mobile's own reps indicate it'll be a HTC-built handset set for a September release, while a careful eyeballing of that silhouette leads us to thinking it's the same device as the purported myTouch HD we've been seeing around here lately. Whatever it is, it's coming soon!

[Thanks, Daniel]

Microsoft's Arc Touch Mouse revealed?

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/18/microsofts-arc-touch-revealed/

It's not official until Microsoft says it is, but the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse image above was just snagged off a German online store. Amazingly, the mouse arches it back for comfortable mousing before packing flat for easy transport. The mouse features touch-scrolling, battery indicator, and 2.4GHz nano transceiver that no doubt plugs into your laptop's USB port. Yours soon for €69.99... right, €0.99 more than Apple's Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad sells for in Germany.

Intel acquires TI's cable modem unit, might be sneaking into your AV rack

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/intel-acquires-tis-cable-modem-unit-might-be-sneaking-into-you/

Intel's been trying to break into the home entertainment market for years, and while it's made some inroads, it's also looking at a notable list of ho hum attempts that never managed to gain traction. Take the CE3100 processor, for instance -- a couple of years ago, the outfit seemed certain that this here chip would be powering every last living room box for the rest of eternity, and nowadays it's hardly a household name. But this week, Intel has picked up Texas Instruments' cable modem unit, which gives it a direct link into the very area it's been trying to exploit. The goal of the acquisition -- which is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of this year -- is to combine TI's Puma product lines with DOCSIS and Intel SoCs. Once that magical marriage takes place, Chipzilla intends to push out complex set-top boxes, residential gateways and modem products, possibly even going for the OEM artery. Details beyond that are few and far betwixt, but we doubt it'll be too long before the pickup begins to bear fruit.

Bose intros IE2, MIE2 and MIE2i in-ear headphones, only charges an arm for 'em

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/bose-intros-ie2-mie2-and-mie2i-in-ear-headphones-only-charges/

In an obvious non-Bose move, the company has just outed a trio of products that actually seem reasonably priced. Of course, it's not like the outfit is suddenly catering to the low-end market, but those willing to pay a Benjamin or so for a decent set of 'buds now have three more to consider. The IE2 has been engineered for portable media players, while the MIE2 and MIE2i are both designed to handle calls and tunes. The latter, as you'd surmise, is designed specifically to control a range of iDevices, though the whole group ships with StayHear tips that supposedly stay lodged for longer regardless of activity. Curiously, none of these offer noise cancelling or sound isolating technologies, and naturally, Bose isn't handing over any of those pesky specification details. The IE2 is expected on store shelves on August 23rd for $99.95, while the MIE2 ships on the same date for $30; as for the MIE2i, that one will surface in October for $129.95.
