You probably wouldn’t pay $6 for an iPhone app that lets you browse through car models and pump stereo exhaust sounds directly to your drums. But a $6 Aston Martin Experience app that also displays speed and Gs as you film your drive from behind the wheel of a 2011 Rapide? We might be in love. The British automaker’s latest app can do all of the above, and also includes a list of “top roads” — most of which are in Europe. Our friends at Autoblog paired the app with a loaner Rapide (and we thought playing with cell phones was cool), driving up California’s Aston-approved Pacific Coast Highway. The reviewers may have spent more time focusing on the car than the app, but when you’re driving a $200,000, 477 horsepower aluminum beast for the first time, the iPhone easily becomes an afterthought. Aston claims that the Experience can be had with any other car, but if you’re looking to get the experience, be prepared to spent a little more than six bucks. Aston Martin Experience could be the ultimate iPhone accessory, but you’re gonna want the car originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 28 Jun 2011 02:38:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

Engadget’s post-WWDC keynote broadcast, live!
June 7th, 2011 admin This morning we had a little fun prognosticating about what we’d see at today’s WWDC keynote address. We’ll, now we’ve seen it, so join us for some post-event analysis from just outside the event center. We’ll be starting shortly, so click “Play” above when things go live. Update: We’re done, and we didn’t even break UStream this time. If you missed it, or want to relive the experience, however, we’ll have a saved version of the video up shortly.

May 28th, 2011 jedwan In Engadget Investigates, we explore major issues, working with tech manufacturers and service providers to improve your experience with the gadgets we’ve all come to depend on. If you’d like us to look into an issue, please send us a tip , including “Investigate” in the subject line. Samsung’s highly-anticipated Nexus S 4G joined the WiMAX family this month , pairing Google’s popular Nexus handset with Sprint’s 4G network. But with the honeymoon over, customers have noticed that the Gingerbread device isn’t living up to Sprint’s former flagship mates, such as the Epic 4G , with last year’s model besting the new guy on both speed and network reception tests. Customers also noticed issues with battery life, though so far we’ve found it to be consistent with other WiMAX smartphones. We took both out for a stroll around New York City, and on a quick weekend getaway to Miami Beach, and we’re sorry to report that we’ve confirmed your fears about performance. Sprint and Google have confirmed that they’re looking into the performance issues, and we hope they can patch things up with some over-the-air update therapy, but in the meantime, jump past the break to see what we found.

April 12th, 2011 jedwan Verizon may have left it out from the get-go, but it looks as if eager HTC Thunderbolt owners needn’t wait another day to test out a video-enabled version of Skype . For those outside of The Loop, there was quite the back-and-forth going during the early days, with Verizon announcing at the 11th hour that its flagship LTE phone would be shipped sans Skype. It’s still unavailable in the bona firde Android Market, but a build has appeared from the ether and seems to be humming along just fine here at Engadget HQ. Hit the source link if you’re feeling froggy, and let us know in comments how things work out. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in] Update: So we just happened to have a Thunderbolt on hand, and gave Skype’s mobile video chat a try. We came away quite impressed — video is as good as can be expected from the handset’s 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and the experience on WiFi and LTE is virtually indistinguishable. The app even worked on 3G, though that reduced the picture quality to the point of being almost unusable. Michael Gorman contributed to this report.

April 10th, 2011 admin Sure, it’s lacking the Pro moniker, but it’s also lacking a built-in keyboard. A fair trade, we suppose. Dell’s Venue is actually nothing at all like the once-titled Lightning , boasting a slate-style form factor and Android 2.2 in place of Windows Phone 7. To this day, it remains one of the few unlocked phones available for sale in the US with support for AT&T’s 3G bands, and for those who missed out on the Nexus One (or just opted for this for any number of other reasons), we’re curious to see how your experience with the Thunder has been. Were you impressed / let down by the Stage UI? How’d you manage the heft? Would you have tweaked the build materials any? Opted for WP7 over Froyo? Kept the Thunder name? We’re guessing that Dell’s still squarely in the learning phase when it comes to handset making, so go ahead and get real honest in comments below. Honestly.
