Archives for the day Friday, September 14th, 2007


Engadget fans! We know it’s been a solid year since our last meetup (Boston, you rock!) so we figured it was time to add some dates to the October 2007 Engadget reader meetup world tour.

We’re also on the lookout for an event space at all three towns, so if you have a spot you’d like to lend us (or know of a good one we should hold our event at) hit is up at event at engadget dawt com. Please bear in mind, we’re expecting 500 - 1000 people at our SF and NY events, and will also need room for companies we’ve invited to show off their wares. We’ll be sure to show your space / business some love on Engadget if we wind up hosting our event there.

Readers! Here are the event dates we’re looking at:
Tokyo - October 4th (unconfirmed tentative)
San Francisco - October 10th
New York - October 30th (unconfirmed and tentative)

We’d also like to thank our two event sponsors, Citi Mobile, who is the premium sponsor of our upcoming New York event, and the Bluetooth SIG, who is the premium sponsor of our San Francisco event.

The eagle-eyed posters at HowardForums might have spotted a clue, though — the iPhone early-adopter $100 credit signup page clearly shows an iPhone running firmware v1.1.1, with a couple interesting additions: a setting for “Home Button,” and another marked “International.” The Home Button setting will likely bring the iPod touch’s nifty double-tap music controller to the iPhone, but we have no idea what the International menu is for — maybe for reducing some of those crazy roaming bills? Either way, we should know soon.

Sennheiser has introduced its latest in-ear earphones, which join the company’s Classic, Street, and Style lines. The CX 400 and 500 join the Classic line, and both include a pouch, cord winder, cable clip, and ear adapters. The CX 400 feature a short cord, extension cable, and sell for $100. The CX 500 feature a wider frequency response, special flange ear adapters for a better seal, and will be available in glossy black, glossy white, or titanium…
