Ubiquitous wireless headphones are perhaps the no-brainer Next Big Thing in the portable media market, waiting only on battery life that can keep up. Last year we reviewed one of the first PMPs to feature the Bluetooth A2DP profile, Samsung’s YP-T9, and now Gear Diary’s Doug has been spending some time with Sony’s long-coming retort, [...]
This dumpy, dusty slab is in fact MSI’s upcoming standalone GPS unit, the MS-5654. Appearing courtesy of the FCC, the device is based around a 4.3-inch touchscreen with minimal hardware controls, and will feature either 1GB or 2GB of internal storage and basic media playback functionality. Under the hood, a 372MHz Centrality CPU [...]
After a few weeks of budget, mobile laptops grabbing the headlines, its been the turn of monstrous gaming machines to storm the limelight. Acer announced their first serious gamer’s desktop, the Aspire Predator, which is intended to take the breed out of the boutique and into mainstream computer stores. Alienware struck back with an updated [...]
Panasonic’s latest Strada F-Class car navigation systems are yet another reason to lament not living in Japan. The CN-HX1000D and CN-HW1000D borrow the VIERA label from the company’s premium LCD TVs, though scaled down to just 7-inches, and throw in a DVD player, GPS, hard-drive, iPod link, Bluetooth and a 1-Seg digital TV tuner. Most [...]
If Sony’s Rolly portable speaker system is a little too unusual (and rich) for your tastes, then Logitech’s far more traditional Pure-Fi Mobile Bluetooth speakers might be a reasonable alternative. Packing the A2DP Bluetooth profile for stereo audio, as well as a standard 3.5mm input jack, it will happily stream music from PMPs, cellphones or [...]
Sony’s Rolly dancing wireless speaker robot might be a relatively pointless frippery, but now it’s a pointless frippery you can officially buy in the US. The company has announced that the easter-egg-sized “Sound Entertainment Player” is now available in retail stores across the country, having been available exclusively in Japan for some time now. [...]
When Aliph released the original Jawbone nearly two years ago, I felt as if I was the only person in the world that didn’t like the look, thought the design too bulky, and wasn’t all that impressed by the company’s “noise shield”. So how do I feel about the Jawbone 2? Well, let me put [...]
I’m not sure why, but this Flexii Bluetooth cassette adapter really pleases me somehow. Designed to make streaming music through a car stereo straightforward even if your ride only has a tape deck, it uses the A2DP profile to take a stereo stream from your PMP or cellphone and squirt it out of the [...]
I, like so many others, own a GPS unit and have had the joy of cussing up a storm when that stupid suction cup pops off. Once it pops off I can’t ever get it back unless I pull over and shove it back on. This rear-view mirror combo takes care of that [...]
Bluetooth handset manufacturer Bluetrek have announced two new ranges of limited edition headsets, none of which would be particularly suitable if you’re looking for a discrete way to chat wire-free. Based on the UFO and BIZZ headsets, both have up to 6hrs talktime. There are seven new UFO designs, including tiger-print and a variety of geometric [...]
