How would you change Sony’s PlayStation 3 Slim?

For the most part, we’d say that Sony addressed the concerns of many when it introduced the PlayStation 3 Slim . The console was smaller, cheaper and easier on the eyes, and of course the 120GB hard drive didn’t hurt matters either. That said, we know that the redesign didn’t please everyone, and we’ve heard more than a few PS3 diehards complain about the new design

Aptera 2e three-wheeler deemed a car by the DoE, eligible for funding

For a time, it looked Aptera might be missing out on the US Department of Energy’s funding bonanza for energy-efficient vehicles due to its car’s three-wheeled nature, but it looks like President Obama has now had the final say on the matter, and signed legislation that makes both two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles eligible for the same funding as their four-wheeled counterparts. Of course, that doesn’t yet mean that Aptera will actually receive any funding, and the legislation doesn’t have anything to do with safety regulations, where the 2e is still classified as a motorcycle by the Department of Transportation.

Nintendo’s Iwata muses about Kindle-like business model for future handheld

You may simply be able to chalk this one up to some freewheeling speculation and rumination, but Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata went pretty far out on a limb in talking about the future of the company during a recent sit-down with the Financial Times , and indicated that Nintendo may just be looking outside the gaming industry for a little inspiration. Apparently, Iwata is intriguiged by the Kindle “because it’s a new business model in which the user doesn’t bear the communications cost,” which he says wouldn’t “fit Nintendo customers because we make amusement products.” He did go on to note though, that “in reality, if we did this it would increase the cost of the hardware, and customers would complain about Nintendo putting prices up,” but said that “it is one option for the future.” At the same time, however, Iwata also seemingly downplayed the short-term potential for download-only games, saying that he thinks “it will take quite a long time” for the industry to shift to them — although he did hedge his bets somewhat by pointing out how unpredictable the games business is.

More on the DROID: thoughts from the rest of Engadget

Somewhat unusually, Verizon and Motorola actually gave us four DROID review units to play with — and while Paul, Nilay, and Chris all contributed to Josh’s official Engadget review , there were definitely some different perspectives (and dissenting opinions) amongst the team. Rather than try to squeeze everything together into one jumbled whole, we thought we’d let everyone add their own take on what’s clearly a watershed device for Motorola, Google, and Verizon. Read on for more!
