Hey guys, we just wanted to share a little bit of good news with you. We just found out that both Engadget as a site and The Engadget Show have been nominated for Webby Awards! Now of course, we feel like the work we do on the site speaks for itself — with or without gold stars — but we thought this was a pretty cool nod and wanted to tell you. You can vote for us in the runnings (if you’d like) by registering at the Webby Awards site (we’re in the Marketplace / Consumer Electronics section for the site, and Online Film & Video / Technology for the Show). We won’t force you or anything, but we’d love your support if you’re into what we’re doing. We’d also like to say thanks to you — the reader — for helping us get the word out and spread the Engadget message; we would quite honestly be nothing without you. Thanks! Note: The Webby Awards are sponsored by AOL (Engadget’s parent company). Sponsored , not produced or selected by AOL in any way.

Hey guys, some fun news to share: Engadget for iPhone / iPod touch 2.0.1 was just approved by Apple and is now available on the App Store! The big new feature is landscape mode in article, comment, and sharing views, but we’ve also bumped up font sizes, made some improvements to the commenting experience, and added the ability to edit tweets directly in the app. Oh, and you can also now email photos from galleries from within the app, and customize the toolbar. Of course, that’s in addition to our regular features like offline viewing, built in streaming for The Engadget Show, and in-app tip submissions — you know, for when you see the iPhone 3GT leak out. So what are you waiting for? You can download the app right here , or just click the image above — if you’ve already got it installed the update should be waiting for you right this second. Full changelog after the break. Once again, a big thanks to the team at AOL that makes these apps happen: Sun Sachs, Andy Averbuch, Hareesh P, Anibal Rosado, Rajesh Kumar, Rich Foster, Claudeland Louis, Mike Wolstat, Eric Wedge, Vikas B R, Milissa Tarquini, Asha Indira and Bob Gurwin. High fives all around. P.S.- Updates for the BlackBerry and webOS apps should hit in March, and that’s also when we’re scheduled to launch our Android app — stay tuned!

Visa may be pushing ahead to bring NFC to phones via microSD cards , but it looks like phones with built-in NFC capabilities have now suffered a bit of a setback, as Nokia has officially canceled its already delayed 6216 handset . That phone was a rather unimpressive candy bar in most respects, but it was the first such phone that would have tied NFC payments to a carrier’s SIM card, which Nokia had hoped would have been enough to at least give it a foothold, if not kick-start a wave of NFC handsets. For its part, Nokia isn’t offering too many details on the reasons for the cancellation, saying only that it felt “the quality of the consumer experience was not what it needed to be,” and adding that its “commitment to NFC remains as strong as ever.” Nokia cancels NFC-equipped 6216 handset originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:17:00 EST.

We’ve already had a quick look at the Korean Motorola MOTOROI , and we figured it was only fair if we gave the Motorola MT710 a fair shake, too. The MT710 is running the Android-based Ophone OS on some pretty sweet hardware including an 854 x 480 FWVGA resistive touchscreen display — to help with Chinese handwriting recognition we’d bet — replacing HSPA 3G with TD-SCDMA for 3G, and a pretty slick housing accented in reflective and red metals. Of course the MT710 isn’t meant for our market, but we’re still encouraged to see how many Android sets are cropping up here at the show and indeed from Motorola.

As much gentle ribbing as the Fender rebranding of T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G has gotten, someone’s obviously buying the blasted things because the carrier’s been wiped clean of them — all 17,250 units, according to TmoNews . Sure enough, a quick check of T-Mobile’s site confirms that the device is listed as “temporarily out of stock,” but the problem is that “temporarily” might be a hell of a wait — it’s being claimed that we won’t see a fresh batch of these until April. Why the huge gap? It seems T-Mobile had to go back to HTC and place a second order for the phone, possibly a sign that even the carrier is shocked at the success of a year-old, warmed-over device with some fake wood and a corporate tie-in. Amazing what a little rock ‘n roll can do, isn’t it?

Puma (and partner Sagem ) have thrown up a teaser site ahead of the launch of the company’s first-ever phone next week — a trend being voraciously adopted by designer brands lately — but sadly, there’s not a lot to see at the moment other than some unhelpful videos (one of which you can peep after the break). That may not have always been the case, though: Recombu is reporting that there’d previously been an all-too-brief glimpse of what appeared to be a touhscreen phone with a solar panel aboard in one of the videos, but Sagem eventually pulled the offending segment and asked that the site take down its screen capture. That’s pretty lame, but the good news is that we’ve but a few days to wait before this thing gets all official on us. Let’s hope for sun in Barcelona, eh?
