Remember that "new" console we saw yesterday? You know the one: it looks a lot like the current Xbox 360 Elite, except that it comes with a 250GB hard drive this time around; and in the box, we've supposedly got two controllers and a copy of Forza Motorsport 3. Remember now? Good. And, even if you thought it was a fake ad brought up by Amazon Germany to excite people for no reason whatsoever, it looks like we've got another ad to (perhaps) solidify the deal.

, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

We're always keeping our eyes open for crazy contraptions, or gadgets as we like to call them, and usually that means we have to point our eyes across the ponds, to really find something of interest. This time around, we've struck gold. These speakers look like bags, and are even just as mobile as a bag, but we assure you: they aren't. Read The Full Story

ENT Android MID Makes Another Appearance; This Time With Live Images

, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

Back at the beginning of the month, we had a whole slew of Android information come swirling into our offices. We did our best to cover it, and part of that coverage was this little piece of Mobile Internet Device (MID) Heaven. It's a pretty slick, piano-black piece of tech that's running some might Android goodness. And, despite the coverage we splattered all over it before, we were lacking any real live shots of the device. Well, now's as good a time for change as any other, right? Read The Full Story

, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

It's been about 10 days now since we last spoke about TomTom's upcoming iPhone Car Kit, but it's getting a bit exciting now, with the device slipping through the FCC inspection with a passing grade. And although we knew there wasn't a ton of information to be had the first time around, we're still pretty excited by what the FCC filing has laid out for us. Right up front, we've got the TomTom Car Kit showing off its own GPS chipset. And if that wasn't enough, it also comes along with Bluetooth, for some good old hands free communication.

Little Prince is Both Terrifying and Awesome

, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

Science fiction is a means to realize the things of our imaginations, and put them to task in the real world. But let's face it, if this keeps up, machines are going to take over the world. And, if they're anything like the Little Prince here, they'll look cute, terrifying, and shiny while doing it. This little piece was inspired by the Naked Sun, written by Isaac Asimov; R2-D2 from Star Wars; an egg; and insects. And while it's obvious this thing looks like all of those at once, it gets even creepier. Read The Full Story

Live footage of the Nokia N900 hasn't been in short supply - in fact Nokia themselves provided some decent walkthrough videos of their new smartphone/internet tablet hybrid - but there's nothing like a few in-the-wild shots to get the blood pumping.  Happily there's more than just one prototype N900 in the wild, and now that the touchscreen Maemo marvel is finally official they're starting to come out of the woodwork.
