Love being on top of all the latest news in gadgets and consumer electronics? Always looking to stay ahead of the curve? If the answer to these questions is “yes” then make sure you bookmark Engadget. This web magazine, that launched in March of 2004, is now one of the biggest, most visited blogs today. It was purchased by AOL in 2005 and has since gone through a major reshuffling of their corporate staff. Regardless, it still remains as one of the go-to sites to find the breaking news on the coolest products. It also has a neatly organized Reviews section where you can learn about tech products before you buy them.
Tip: Aside from their website, you can also access Engadget through their app on any number of different platforms including the iPad, iPhone, Android or BlackBerry.
