TIME Publishes First Newsmagazine RED One Cover Shot
With this week’s cover TIME became the first major newsmagazine to publish a cover shot taken with a RED One. Not that we’re saying TIME is the first ever magazine to do so, but they’re the first newsmagazine. That’s cool and all, but why didn’t anyone tell me there was a RED in the building?
The Five Greatest Gadgets of All Time
For reasons unknown to me I’ve been asked to declare what I presume to be the five greatest gadgets of all time. No simple task considering the vast number of gizmos and doodads that have been feverishly churned out over the last millennia. But we’re not talking about things that have had some revolutionary impact on society, you …
FLO TV Personal TV: Being a Couch Potato Has Never Been Easier
There’s never been a compelling reason to have a portable TV on your person. Do we really need another way to rot our brains? FLO TV certainly thinks so. The Qualcomm-developed technology began appearing on a handful of mobile phones last year and offers live streaming and previously aired content from a variety of networks. The FLO TV …
Cignias (who?) Launches NAO Music Docking Stations
I’ve never heard of Cignias, but the Toronto-based company will be formally announcing two “advanced wireless music stations” tomorrow morning. I’ll be telling you about them just because I can.
The NAO Symphony and Symphony Noir look like your run of the mill all-in-one iPod docking stations, but these ones allow you to …
Google Maps Nav Released for Android 1.6
Oh happy day, Android users. Google is releasing Google Maps Navigation to all Android devices running OS v1.6 and higher. So that means everyone on T-Mobile with a G1 or myTouch 3G (at least in the US) will be privy to the beta app that was once exclusive to the Verizon Droid. Nav also brings Layers, which includes transit lines, …
Rumor: iPhone To Make Verizon Debut In June 2010
By now it’s pretty obvious that AT&T’s exclusivity on the iPhone will end in 2010, but it’s relatively unclear if Verizon will actually get the iPhone as rumored. Well, we’re here to tell you that folks close to the inner workings of the deal have told us that the iPhone will, in fact, be coming to Verizon in June of 2010. Things …
Samsung Omnia II Available from Verizon
If you’re in the market for a new Windows Mobile 6.5 device- because who isn’t?- then check out the Samsung Omnia II from Verizon. It’s $200 but that gets you a 3.7-inch resistive AMOLED touch-screen, Swype technology, a 5-megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory. Sadly, it’s only expandable to 16GB via microSD. The Omnia II …
Samsung Behold II Review: Let’s Never Speak Of This Again
Samsung’s mobile devices have come a long way in the last three years. I’ve lambasted them for much of that period over their chintzy resistive touch-screens, but recent handsets including the Behold II and Moment have been upgraded with vibrant AMOLED screens. The recent adoption of the Android OS on certain devices in the lineup …
Nokia N900 Now Available in the US
Nokia’s Linux-based Maemo N900 is available starting today in the US. It’s not a bad offering considering it comes with 32GB of memory, a 3.5-inch touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard. The Carl Zeiss 5-megapixel camera is nothing to scoff at either. Too bad it costs $650.
Palm Pixi Review: Not Bad, Far From Great
It’s been a good year for Palm. There’s no doubt about that. Given the fact that everyone and anyone thought Palm would be dead in the water after the lackluster year they had in 2008. The majority of the media present at Palm’s CES press conference this year walked away amazed by what they had seen. I tend to hate on everything …
Casio EX-G1: Like a G-Shock, But Not
We’re either getting really clumsy or adventurous.
From the makers of the G-Shock line of watches and ruggedized G’zOne mobile phones comes a rough and tumble digital camera dubbed Exilim G EX-G1. By the looks of it, I doubt I’d ever put in my pocket for fear of severing a major artery in an area I hold near and dear to my …
