Engadget Blunder Sends Apple Stock Falling

Spoof e-mails seldom cause more than a ripple in the ocean of Internet news, spreading through forums and blogs, and generally being regarded with skepticism. Unless, of course, Engadget accidentally picks one up. Then you have a tsunami.

That’s precisely what happened Wednesday when Engadget falsely reported that Apple was delaying two of its most anticipated products, Leopard OS X and the iPhone, based on a fake e-mail that appeared to come directly from Apple. The news generated more than confusion among Apple fans – it caused the company’s stock to plummet 2.2 percent in a matter of minutes.  Read more...

CNET vs. Engadget: Missing the Point

“On Thursday of last week Molly Wood, senior editor of CNET complained about the “Cold War” practice of vendors who hold traditionalpublications under NDAs while blog sites like Engadget are able to get the news out more quickly.   Jason Calacanis, the head of Weblog and Engadget, fired off a heated response using words like “borderline slanderous” and was clearly so upset that he is “starting an investigation” into the ethics atCNET.

In my reading of Molly’s piece I see no attack what so ever on bloggers in general or Engadget in particular. In fact, after I read it I would have been more likely to look for breaking news on Engadget or Gizmodo, because that was where Molly said the breaking news was.   “

You can thank Engadget for breaking the story on this one.

Sharp’s 20GB MP3 Player

Quote from Engadget:

“Somehow this has slipped totally underneath the radar: Sharp has a 20GB MP3 player out. We don’t know much about the HRGB201H, other than that it uses USB 2.0 to connect to a PC, has a decently-sized LCD screen, a design that doesn’t exactly blow us away, and is being sold on a French website for the grossly overpriced amount of nearly $500.”
