Tomorrow is Android day, and we’ll be Live Blogging the whole T-Mobile G1 event over at http://Live.AndroidCommunity.com/. T-Mobile have just put up the T-MobileG1.com website, so the countdown to the G1 is well and truly underway. We’ll also be running a competition simultaneously with the Live Blog, where you can win your very own G1. [...]
It’s not often we have to wear protective goggles when testing out a new gadget, but then this isn’t your average laser. Wicked Lasers specialize not in the basic presentation pointer you might have hanging from your keychain, but in incredibly high-power lasers with astronomy, entertainment and, yes, military use. The Spyder II [...]
As well as hands-on time with the My Graphic Splash VAIO FW notebooks, we also got to spend a little time with one of the competition judges, Lauren Conrad. Best known for her debut appearance in MTV’s 2004 hit reality show Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. and spin-off The Hills, it’s Conrad’s fashion credentials that [...]
Earlier in the year, Sony kicked off a competition inviting would-be artists to submit case designs for the company’s Graphic Splash notebooks. The top ten entries were offered up to online voting, with the final three winners not only being invited to NYC for the unveiling of their limited edition notebooks but getting $5,000 too. [...]
Qualcomm had a single Android development prototype on the CTIA Wireless 2008 show floor this week, on an edge-of-booth stand with little to no signage. We stopped by to check out the progress of the Google-backed platform and see how far the reference design had come; in the process, we came across what appears to [...]
We met with Virgin Mobile while at CTIA Wireless this week, and in-between taking a look at their first self-branded 3G handset, the Shuttle, had a chance to ask them about their plans for Helio. Virgin bought out the carrier, which also uses the Sprint network, earlier this year, and since then subscribers and analysts [...]
Could this be the end of dropped calls and flaky battery life? Apple have released the v2.1 iPhone firmware, as promised earlier this week, and among the promises are a decrease in call initiation failures and mid-conversation drops, “significantly better battery life”, reduced backup times in iTunes and better email reliability for both POP and [...]
We met with HTC at CTIA Wireless this morning for a hands-on with their latest Windows Mobile smartphones. Sprint’s Touch Pro and Touch Diamond were on show, while the non-touchscreen S740 made an appearance as well. The Diamond is basically the same device that we reviewed back in June, and we’re still not [...]
First impressions are perhaps trickier with the iPod touch 2G than they are for the iPod nano 4G. Unlike the smaller PMP, there’s no massive case change to catch the eye; instead, it’s when you first pick up the touch 2G that you realise Apple have managed to further polish their flagship iPod. We’re currently [...]
After our brief hands-on with the iPod nano 4G this morning, Apple gave us one of the super-slim PMPs to take away. It took some agonizing to decide on a color, but that’s been the only headache so far: the nano is so slick, it’s tough not to fall for it as soon as you get [...]
