Chris Davies, Jul 15th 2009 Discuss [0]

Now, it's Bang & Olufsen time, so please suspend all disbelief and reset your "it's how much?!" shock reaction. The Danish company has unveiled its latest product, and we've a feeling Alyson Hannigan would approve. The BeoTime alarm clock best resembles a flute, but is actually a way to not only get you up in the morning but to control your house full of expensive B&O A/V equipment. Read The Full Story

Samsung UltraTOUCH and BEAT DJ hands on

Chris Davies, Feb 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

We grabbed some hands-on time with Samsung’s new UltraTOUCH flagship feature phone and the BEAT DJ music phone today, and there’s some seriously impressive AMOLED action going on in both devices. The UltraTOUCH S8300 looks pretty certain to be a hit in Europe, where it will go on sale as the Tocco Ultra Edition. TouchWiz may be on top of Samsung’s generic own-brand OS, but it’s reasonably responsive and the whole thing feels sturdy and solid in the hand, despite the slender dimensions.

Bang & Olufsen offer over-engineered white speaker grills

Chris Davies, Dec 3rd 2008 Discuss [0]

Normally a switch in speaker grill color wouldn't be enough to make something news-worthy, but when it's Bang & Olufsen making the changes then you know it's not just a case of a ordering up a new bolt of material. Intended to accompany the firm's existing white A/V equipment, the new white speaker-covers have been put through the paces for longevity and sound performance, with B&O even traipsing to Milan fashion fairs to see what fabrics are on offer.

Chris Davies, Nov 16th 2008 Discuss [0]

It’s been a mobile device bonanza this week, with the AT&T Fuze landing at SlashGear and promptly getting hauled over to the Sprint HTC Touch Pro for a damned good comparing. Meanwhile HTC have set tongues wagging by fettling a version of the Touch HD for a Russian WiMAX carrier: they assure us that the HTC MAX 4G won’t be showing up anywhere else, but forgive us if we’re natural sceptics. Meanwhile Verizon finally confirmed that the BlackBerry Storm 9530 would hit stores on November 24th, priced from $199.99, AT&T released the QuickFire, and Nokia confirmed the open-secret that is the E63 smartphone.

B&O release oddball Beo5 remote control

Chris Davies, Sep 6th 2007 Discuss [0]

I've said it before, I'm a bit of a Bang & Olufsen junkie. Yes, I know there are "better" products out there if you're rating sound higher than everything else, but let's be realistic - appearance is a big deal. Anyway, a new gadget from B&O is guaranteed to catch the eye, and their new Beo5 remote doesn't do anything to disprove that fact. Read The Full Story

James Allan Brady, Aug 21st 2007 Discuss [0]

Bang & Olufsen are at it again with a new version of their DVD player. Once again, this isn’t the most attractive DVD player, but its feature set makes it well worth it.

This DVD player provides near-MCE level functionality. It has a DVD player and recorder, a TV tuner/recorder, and an integrated HDD for storage of media.

Samsung Bang & Olufsen Serene II and F330

James Allan Brady, Aug 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

So there isn’t much to say about these two phones that is known for fact, but what we do have are their names (insert Shakespeare reference here). Samsung is making both of them and their names for the devices are the F330 and the SGH-F310. Since they are being made for Bang & Olufsen you can be sure of three things, first, they are going to look weird as hell, but have tons of functionality, second, they aren’t going to be cheap, and third, they are going to change the names. So fare the F330 has kept its name and gone untouched, the SGH-F310 has several potential names though, among them are, Serene II, Serenata, and then the least likely one, leaving it as it is.
