An all-too-brief, all-too-fuzzy video of a device alleging to be none other than HTC’s Dream has surfaced on YouTube, showing a white smartphone of healthy size running Android and sliding horizontally to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. From what little we can make out, we’ve got to say that it’s not the sexiest thing we’ve [...]
Sony, where’s the justice? How could you mercilessly kill the nine month old PSP Extended Life Battery Kit — capable of boosting the PSP’s play time by up to 80% — while UMDs continue to be the preferred method of distribution for the system’s games and video content (thereby also heavily contributing to the device’s [...]
If you’re the type of person looking to drop $600 to $800 on a photo viewer, you’ve probably got some pretty specialized needs for the thing, and Epson aims to please. A followup to its P-3000 and P-5000 photo viewers, the new P-6000 and P-7000 from Epson sport 640 x 480 4-inch LCDs, which have [...]
There’s no denying that HTC’s Advantage X7510 fills a narrowing niche — after all, how many of these things have you seen out and about in the subway / underground? Still, there’s just something very enticing about a 5-inch VGA display, built-in GPS, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a full-blown QWERTY keyboard, is there not? For [...]
Right on schedule, Aigo’s 800MHz Atom Z500-powered P8860 MID (aka, the Gigabyte M528 for the US and Europe) is hitting the mean, retail streets of Hong Kong today. With it, we’ve got a bit of video showing off the new pen finger-based MIDLinux (aka, Midinux) GUI which looks far better than it did when we [...]
We’ve seen Aigo’s flagship MID from just about any angle you could imagine, but now that the P8860 has started to ship, we’re starting to see it freed from its Linux trappings and dressed up in a little bit of Windows XP. Video of just such harmony (or atrocity, if that’s the way you see [...]
We’re still trying to figure out exactly how Nokia intends to position the N85 slider in its Nseries lineup, and frankly, the FCC documentation that’s been outed for it isn’t helping much. Seems there are two versions of the thing: one with no 3G — likely for China — and another with WCDMA on the [...]
For you axe-slingers who blame your inability to write a new song on the inability to afford a simple, portable recorder, your excuse is officially lame. TASCAM’s ingenious GT-R1 affords musicians the ability to simply plug their guitar and / or bass directly in and record using the built-in amp simulator and effects. Better still, [...]
For those that have actually waited around and saved their heart for BenQ’s MID, we applaud you. Nearly a full year after we initially saw this thing crop up, we’re just now receiving word that a launch is imminent. Finally redubbed MID Aries2 (after simply going by BenQ MID for all these months), this handheld [...]
Movistar’s Chilean outpost has now become — somewhat surprisingly, may we add — the very first carrier in the world to launch the BlackBerry Bold and put it into subscribers’ hands. The carrier’s making sure everyone knows what a coup they’ve managed to pull off, too, proudly proclaiming “FIRST ONES IN THE WORLD” with a [...]
