Rumor: Apple Newton making a comeback?

James Allan Brady, Sep 26th 2007 Discuss [5]

Do you remember that little PDA that might have been attractive back in the day, but now would be considered sin’s uglier cousin? Well it appears with the advent of the iPhone and iPod Touch, and their successes, Apple is considering having another go at the whole PDA thing. In 2004 Steve hinted at a PDA project that Apple had scrapped just before it went to market. Now there have been reports of two teams working at infinite loop, with the two goals occasionally coming to an intersection. Those two teams would the the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch team and the Apple PDA team. Read The Full Story

Gateway One – Sleek All-in-one desktop

Satsuki Then, Sep 26th 2007 Discuss [11]

Gateway today announced a sleek desktop PC called The One that looks equally (or more) attractive than the new iMac. I personally think the One is a long lost brother of the new iMac. Gateway One design resembles characteristics of Apple iMac with its slot-loading side mounted DVD burners and the connectors such as three USB ports, one FireWire, and audio in/out. Wall mounting kit is also available to allow consumer to mount the system on the wall. Read The Full Story

Sony Ericsson patent application unveils sliding touchscreen phone

James Allan Brady, Sep 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Personally, I don’t like it, based on looks alone. Say what you want about not judging a book by its cover, but I don’t like it. First of all it’s a reverse slider, that was a bad idea from the beginning. The screen should always be on top in my opinion, especially when it’s a touch screen. Apparently they don’t think so, sure doing it this way decreases the chances of the screen getting broken in the pocket of its owner, but it doesn’t look near as good, or seem to offer as much instant functionality.

Brando Credit Card MP3 Player

James Allan Brady, Sep 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

I am sure by now you have probably seen a credit card shaped and sized MP3 player before. Only, chances are good, the one you saw cost a considerable amount more than this one. Apparently there was another company with such an offering earlier this year and they were retailing a 2GB version for $150, now either they pushed their unsellable product off on Brando like they were the digital version of Goodwill, or Brando just stole their design and made it cheap. Regardless, Brando is offering up their 2GB credit card MP3 player for $42. Read The Full Story

MPIon MP3 Player and deep skin ion cleanser

James Allan Brady, Sep 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

So you want a crappy MP3 player that can also help you with your acne? Well some weird Japanese company apparently has what you are looking for. The worst part, your substantial $181 only gets you 128MB of storage space. I would think that you could buy a far better MP3 player and still afford a couple dermatologists appointments which would probably do you a lot more good. Read The Full Story

All your base are belong to us! Master Chief rings NASDAQ closing bell

James Allan Brady, Sep 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Master Chief is in your stock markets killing all your dudes! I really can’t believe that Halo as a force has moved to a point where they let a guy dressed up as Master Chief ring the closing bell for the stock market today. It really is amazing how far a properly laid marketing plan can go. Bungie, Microsoft, and the numerous Halo fan boys, you can rest now, you have done it, you have taken over the free world.
