Dave Hurban undertook the project in order to attach an iPod Nano to his wrist to use as a timepiece. Speaking to Digital Trends, he describes the steps used and why he decided to experiment in such an unconventional way. Read The Full Story

Google X glasses tipped, Android running Terminator-like tech

, Dec 19th 2011 Discuss [0]

When it comes to futuristic projects coming out of the labs at such titanic companies as Apple and Google, there’s no shortage of interest in even the smallest project, the simplest notion of a project – what we’re hearing today is that there’s not just a tiny project popping up in the mysterious off-campus lair known as Google X, there’s a whole set of glasses. While Apple has been tipped just earlier today as working on a wrist set bangle / watch sort of iPod device that may well be a Siri-controlled peripheral, this Google project is set to be a standalone device which connects to the web with mobile data, displaying then the information you want to see in the lenses of the glasses as they sit on your face. Scanning, scanning, match found!

iPod Touch vs Galaxy Player 5.0

, Nov 4th 2011 Discuss [61]

Let’s be real here: the Samsung Galaxy Player is the first real competition for the iPod Touch since its inception, and although smartphones have far surpassed the specifications of either device, they’re here to battle one another, not anything else. What you’ve got here is a device, on the Samsung side, that’s not quite as large as the Galaxy Note, a device that’s still got a data connection, and isn’t nearly as small as the iPod Touch, which only comes in one size – that being a 3.5-inch display. So what will we compare? Sound quality? Pixel density? How about the ability to put the device in your pocket?

Sony Ericsson XPERIA ray Review

, Oct 31st 2011 Discuss [22]

The XPERIA ray is easily the smallest smartphone I’ve ever had the opportunity to lay hands on, and while it may seem at first to be tiny in stature, it packs an oddly enticing set of punches. Head back to our XPERIA ray hands-on and unboxing post to get all the specification details on the device, then come back and get the most important bits: 3.3-inch TFT LCD display a 480 x 854 pixel resolution, a single-core 1GHz processor inside, a VGA video chat camera on the front, and a massively impressive 8.1-megapixel camera on the back. This tiny monster is set to carve out its own piece of the American petite smartphone pie, that’s for certain.

Motorola MOTOACTV hands-on

, Oct 18th 2011 Discuss [5]

Motorola’s DROID RAZR wasn’t the only new Android device the company announced today; there’s the MOTOACTV packing Google’s platform too. It’s a brave move, launching a smart-watch, given the reception to the existing products that have attempted the market, and we’re not entirely convinced that the MOTOACTV will clinch things for Motorola, either. Check out our hands-on first-impressions after the cut.

Apple Fall 2011: Worst Case Scenario (for Apple’s Competitors)

, Sep 21st 2011 Discuss [37]

In my last column, I discussed what I consider a fairly plausible, if unsurprising, set of expectations for Apple this fall. I called it a Best Case Scenario (for Apple’s Competitors). Click through to read it, or if you need the Cliff’s Notes version, that would be:

1. The existing iPhone 4 remains on the market or is replaced with an 8 GB version.
2. Apple introduces the iPhone 5 with a larger display, dual core processor, and camera spec bump. And it’s thinner.
3. Apple updates the iPod line with new colors, tweaked designs, and a smaller nano that is designed to work well as a watch.

Apple Fall 2011: Best Case Scenario

, Sep 18th 2011 Discuss [9]

In my recent report on Steve Jobs’ resignation, I noted that many pundits seem to think that without Steve at the helm, Apple will lose some of its competitive edge. While anything can happen in the long run, in the short term this is dangerously stupid thinking. Let’s recap:

Steve did not invent Apple products alone. Nearly his entire executive staff — including everyone involved in iOS product design, development, and manufacturing — is still at Apple, and it’s not like they will suddenly forgot the lessons learned from working with Steve over the past decade (the man makes a strong impression).
