Apple's iPad is selling about as fast as they can make the things, and it's not even completed its international roll-out yet. It stands to reason, then, that Apple's probably upped its efforts to develop the iPad's successor (given how long it takes for a design to go from concept to reality). This iPad 2 we would notionally have expected to be announced in January 2011, a year after the first device hit, and we still expect this to be the case. But now there's an increasingly real-sounding

Apple's "Apple TV" is due a refresh--you know it, I know it, and Steve Jobs knows that the time is ripe to move his experimental project from a slightly popular curio into the million-selling mainstream. The rumor mill is grinding up to top speed, for starters.

The recent batch of rumors have flown from Engadget's own rumor

Once the most popular vehicle for music promotion, MTV has just lost its access to the world's largest record label. Universal Music Group announced Friday that MTV.com will no longer be carrying its artists' music videos, a big blow for the music channel given that UMG represents 25% of the global market. Instead, the label will broadcast its videos via the online music-video site Vevo, the Hulu-for-music-videos platform that has been growing in popularity with help from partner YouTube. With

HP's oh-so-HP-named ZR30w monitor is an S-IPS type LCD, similar to the beautiful display in Apple's iPad--but so much better.

Airborne lasers shooting at the streets of New York. I know: Putting those phrases together in a sentence makes it sound like a plot for an Austin Powers movie, but take a chill pill--it's for your safety and convenience, New York ... From April 14th to April 30th this year, an aircraft patrolled Manhattan at a height of 3,500 feet, sinisterly tracking back and forth in the sky and firing laser beams at the city. Fricking laser beams! From space! But alas, there were no spacecraft or even sharks

Thanks to a clandestine meeting with a source, I got a chance to play with and try out the Nexus One. It's basically, from my time with it, Google's Droid killer. It's thin, it's fast, it's better in every way ... My source was very firm about no photography, and I didn't want to jeopardize anything on my source's end, so there are no photos, hence these photos are ones we've already shown you. But, based on all the leaked shots this week, plus the very pretty and very clear one last week from

Americans are pledging to lead greener lives in 2010, according to a recent study by Tiller, LLC.
