It's January 3, 2022, and we're back! Did you miss us? We missed you, too. We hope you got plenty of sleep over the break, at least one or two gifts from Santa, and rang in the new year with some ambitious goals. Bring it on, 2022!  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 205 articles, 7 podcasts, 3 press releases, 225 tweets, and 9 YouTube videos 1. Samsung Announces Odyssey Neo G8 4K Gaming Monitor Not content with the many gaming monitors it already sells, Samsung has announced the Odyssey Neo G8, a 4K, 32-inch variant of its $2500, 49-inch Odyssey Neo G9. The Quantum Mini-LED monitor doesn't have a price or release date yet, but expect to hear more about it during CES 2022 this week. 2. AT&T and Verizon Won't Delay 5G Rollout for the FAA Contrary to the FAA's desire to halt 5G rollout due to airline interference concerns, AT&T and Verizon have jointly said they won't agree to such a delay, calling it a "detriment" to their customers. The FAA's proposal also doesn't name carriers like T-Mobile, so who's really looking at the big picture here? 3. Apple Touts Life-Saving Apple Watch Features in New Ad How good is the Apple Watch? Good enough to warrant another ad praising its health and safety features. This new ad highlights three people who credit the wearable with helping them connect with 911 when they needed it most. We get it, Apple, your watches are really good at what they do. Sheesh. 🦑 Go Deeper Instead of buying that fancy new keyboard, maybe settle for the one you have? Join Charlie Sorrel as he digs into Gear-Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), how it wastes our time and money, and how it distracts us from our hobbies. 🎱 By the Numbers Apple's still in the lead  Data: Counterpoint Research More than a few companies make smartwatches, but Apple continues to be the front-runner with the Apple Watch. Samsung isn't lagging too far behind, but we're a little surprised brands like Garmin and Fitbit got folded into the "Others" category. Maybe they're not as popular outside of the US?  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
Apple's 2021 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 256GB) is enjoying a small $30 discount on Amazon right now, dropping it to $449. Sure, the holidays just ended, but that doesn't mean you can't kick off the year by treating yourself. Have at it! 🤓 Nerd Out "The ISS renewed its space lease." —Kyree Leary, Associate News Editor Worried about how the International Space Station will fare over next couple of years? Don't be, because the station's operations and groundbreaking research have been extended to 2030 and beyond. Phew. We we getting a little nervous. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Together? Separate? Still great  Image: Matias Traditional keyboards are fine and all, but sometimes you want something different. Meet the Programmable Ergo Pro Keyboard from Matias, which is exactly what its name implies. Dedicated and customizable cut, copy, paste, and undo keys, and that split design? Yeah, we want that on our desk. 🎧Listen Up Setting expectations As we head into CES 2022, join the Engadget Podcast as the crew sit down to discuss this year's event, what tech we can expect to see, and how the ongoing chip shortage may affect it.
