Shazam is now available within ChatGPT, if you dont want to launch the music discovery app on your phone for, well, reasons. You will have to link the Shazam app with the chatbot first from its Apps page, after which you can summon it in-chat to identify whatever song is playing. To summon Shazam in-chat, you can use prompts like Shazam, whats playing? or Shazam, what is this song? A box will pop up that you can tap on to launch the music discovery service, which will then listen to the tune playing. ChatGPT will display the songs name, artist and artwork, along with the option to save the song to Shazam. Take note that the feature will work within ChatGPT even if you dont have the music discovery app downloaded on your device, which does make it useful if youre using a phone with full memory. The Shazam integration has started rolling out globally within ChatGPT on iOS, Android and the web.

US regulators have approved eight pilot programs across 26 states that will allow Archer, Joby and other eVTOL companies to finally start testing aircraft this summer, according to a US Department of Transportation (DoT) press release. That will allow those manufacturers to run trials for use cases like urban air taxi services, regional passenger transportation, cargo, emergency medical operations and autonomous flight technology. The new projects were made possible by the White House's Advanced Air Mobility and eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (e-IPP) approved last year to allow certification for such aircraft to progress after being stuck in the mud for years. "By safely testing the deployment of these futuristic air taxis and other AAM vehicles, we can fundamentally improve how the traveling public and products move," US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at the time. Other FAA aircraft partners include Beta, Electra, Elroy Air, Wisk, Ampaire and Reliable Robotics. Key pilot programs were approved for the Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and North Carolina Departments of Transportation, along with New York and New Jersey Port Authority and the City of Albuquerque. We've already glimpsed some of the ideas, like Archer's plan to use air taxis between New York's major airports and city heliports. A number of eVTOL startups have launched in recent years, but so far none of the aircraft have received "type certificates" for carrying passengers or other commercial purposes. Archer and Joby are the farthest along in that process, having been granted the FAA's final airworthiness criteria the final step before full approval. The delays are mostly about safety and working eVTOL planes into existing aviation flows. "The gap isn't technical capability anymore. It's regulatory synchronization," the FAA's Kalea Texeira said last year on LinkedIn. "[That includes factors like] vertiports. Energy supply chains. Part 135 [commercial] integration. Pilot training frameworks that match the aircraft timeline." In the same post, Texeira added that Joby wouldn't certify until mid-2027 at the earliest, with Archer following in 2028. The new program could help accelerate plane-makers' plans. In a YouTube video, Beta CEO Kyle Clark said selection for the program will help his company start operations a year earlier than it previously expected. Archer, meanwhile, compared the program to robotaxi testing and said it will help build trust with the public for its Midnight aircraft. "This is the clearest sign yet... that bringing air taxis to market in the United States is a real priority," said Archer CEO Adam Goldstein.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/faa-opens-up-real-world-testing-for-air-taxi-startups-112219316.html?src=rss

Now that Apple is designing and engineering its own silicon, the updates come fast. Its been less than two years since the company released the M2-powered iPad Air and were already on our third iPad Air iteration, one with the M4 inside. Thats the same chip that was inside the iPad Pro in 2024. Thats one way of expressing how powerful 2025's iPad Air now is and it remains a step above the base iPad in most ways. However, theres room for improvement. Apple has stuck with the same display for another year. The 11-inch iPad Air that Nathan Ingraham reviewed seems to have has the same screen in 2026 as it did when the first no-Home button iPad Air was released in late 2020. (And thats the one Im still using!) Also, why still no FaceID?

Qualcomm, which bought microcontroller board manufacturer Arduino last year, just announced a new single-board computer that marries AI with robotics. The Ventuno Q is more sophisticated (and expensive) than Arduino's usual AIO boards, thanks to the Dragonwing IQ8 processor that includes an 8-core ARM Cortex CPU, Adreno Arm Cortex A623 GPU and Hexagon Tensor NPU that can reach up ot 40 TOPs. It also pacs in Arduino App Lab, with pre-trained AI models including LLMs, VLMs, gesture recognition and object tracking, all running offline. Continue reading. Apple may delay its smart display launch until fall Siri's ongoing AI overhaul could be to blame for the wait. Bloombergs Mark Gurman is back with the latest rumors on new Apple hardware and the companys continued Siri woes. His sources say that Apple is expected to postpone its smart home display until later in 2026, possibly September, when it often introduces another barrage of new gadgets. The hardware has reportedly been finished for months, but the AI-centric overhaul of Siri is still not done. Continue reading. Dell XPS 14 (2026) laptop review That one flaw... Engadget Dells revamped XPS 14 is more powerful than ever. The XPS series has long been a favorite at Engadget, and this ones lightweight and features a gorgeous OLED screen. However, Dells keyboard this year has a baffling flaw: its keyboard. It somehow forces you to type more slowly to log each key press. And this isnt a capacitive touchscreen or anything complicated. According to Dell, a small batch of early XPS units have these quick typing issues. They also say the issue is currently resolved and doesnt affect XPS units shipping now. Well be checking once a firmware update, meant to fix the issue, lands. Continue reading.
