, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Sprint has apparently done what many thought impossible: finished testing on Android 2.2 for the EVO 4G, before the end of the year. In fact, it's happening next week. There had been some rumors earlier today that suggested the update would actually start trickling out to EVO owners beginning tomorrow, but it looks like Sprint has come forward and set the record straight. Thankfully, it's still good news. Read The Full Story

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

While we consider the truth behind a recent rumor of a smaller hard drive bundled together with PlayStation's Move motion-based controller, we're now hit with another piece of news. Sony is bringing plenty of bundles to the marketplace once Move launches, but it looks like the same Starter Pack that's seeing both US and UK-based launches is getting a bit of a switch-up once it launches.

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

This is part 2 of my column on gadgets that changed the world for me. These aren’t necessarily gadgets that changed the world, not even the gadget world. But they all had a profound impact on my life, and were more important to me than simple technological tools or joyous little toys.

Ewee-PT Takes the Glamor Out of the Segway

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

If you've wanted a Segway, but thought it looked too "flashy" for you, then here's what you've been waiting for. It's the "little sister" of the Segway, and you should take that title to heart. Because, as you can see from the image, there isn't much here that actually looks like a Segway. Other than that curved middle-section and handlebars, it's missing that familiar over-sized base, plus all the plastic you'd want to show off. Read The Full Story

Verizon LTE USB Modem Images Break Cover

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

As we inch closer to 2011, or more accurately, the end of 2010, Verizon's plans to burst into the 4G market get closer and closer. It looks like the 4G equipment is starting to flow into Verizon employee hands. Not a bad thing at all, especially considering that hopefully means it will start slipping out into the customer's hands sooner than later. Read The Full Story

125-Piece Puzzle Becomes Functioning Single-Shot Pistol

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

If you own a handgun, or any kind of firearm for that matter, you probably have it safely secured somewhere in your home. Probably behind a door, or in a drawer, which are then locked for good measure. And, considering how practical that is, we're happy to show off this completely ridiculous, not practical option. But, while it may not be practical at all, it's extremely cool. Especially if you like puzzles. Read The Full Story

HRP-2 Promet Takes Robot Baby Steps Over Uneven Terrain

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Considering the multitude of robots we feature here over the weeks, it's good to see one that's still at its most basic, starting at its roots. We've seen robots of all sorts: bipedal, four-legged, and even ones that have wheels instead of legs. There are plenty of humanoid ones out there, too. And while this one's got its own fair share of humanoid features, from the video embedded below, you can see that it's still well in its baby years. So there should be no fear of it taking over the world, quite yet. Read The Full Story

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [3]

Parrot's AR.Drone is one of the greatest pieces of gadgetry and tech we've played with in awhile, and that goes beyond our love for flying objects that we can control. The quadricopter, which we managed to get some hands-on time with back at the end of June, is keeping right on track with its time frame, and it's available for preorder right now.

Best Buy Connect Service Inks Deal with Clearwire to Offer 4G

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Just over a month ago, we told you that Clearwire had their sights set on installing WiMAX modems into a bunch of Intel Core-based notebooks, which would then subsequently be sold through Best Buy some time by the holiday shopping season. Even as the report hit the 'net, there were still plenty of questions. Primarily, was this a one time thing, or would a new deal come from the situation? It looks like we have our answer, as Best Buy and Clear have just made it possible for the two to work closely together to bring 4G service to people. Read The Full Story

Nintendo 3DS Availability and Price Will be Announced on September 29th, Nintendo Announces

, Jul 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

This is a good way to start your Nintendo news for the day. In a move that may seem confusing to some, Nintendo has come forward today and made an official announcement regarding the Nintendo 3DS -- the new, handheld video game console that features glasses-free 3D technology. While there's been plenty of rumors about when it's coming out, with plenty of strange confirmations from Nintendo themselves (that were subsequently pulled from the record), it looks like Nintendo's getting ready to announce the pricing and release date. Ready enough to announce that their ready, anyway. Read The Full Story
