Lenovo IdeaPad Pineview netbook hits FCC

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 16th 2009 No Comments

It’s no ThinkPad netbook, but Lenovo’s latest IdeaPad ultraportable – as helpfully previewed by our camera-fumbling friends at the FCC – does at least have an unusual CPU to maintain our interest. The FL5-B3 – which we’re guessing is not going to be the netbook’s final name – uses a 1.66GHz Intel Pineview processor, presumably the Atom N450, paired with 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard-drive. While they’re still minimal specs in the notebook world, after what seems like a lifetime of half that memory and a meager 160GB of storage they’re very welcome.

Archos 9 PC Tablet suffers FCC teardown

By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 13th 2009 No Comments

You can usually rely on the FCC to provide not only pre-announcement shots of upcoming gadgets, but internal images that give modders a good idea of how the final device might be tweaked into something far more useful. The Archos 9 PC Tablet has already been well fondled in real life – we grabbed one back in September – but thanks to the FCC we now have some teardown shots to counter the glossy exterior images.

Dell Mini 3iX clears FCC with AT&T 3G and WiFi

By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 6th 2009 1 Comment

Dell’s upcoming Android smartphone has been caught clearing the FCC, complete with support for AT&T’s 3G bands. The Dell Mini 3iX was spotted in Brazil earlier this week, when it was said to support triband UMTS; the FCC listing for the handset mentions 850 and 1900 band support, which are the 3G bands AT&T uses for its high-speed network, together with WiFi (missing from the Chinese-version Mini 3i).

Saygus VPhone V1 clears FCC: Verizon’s third Android device?

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Nov 5th 2009 10 Comments

Remember the talk in early October about a third Verizon Android smartphone from a small company and certified through the carrier’s Open Development program? The HTC DROID Eris and Motorola DROID pushed that mystery device to the back of our minds, but an FCC filing has seemingly revealed the device as the Saygus VPhone V1, another sliding form-factor with a 3.5-inch 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, 624MHz Marvell PXA310 processor and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera.

Cisco FlipShareTV streamer system outed by FCC

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 30th 2009 No Comments

The FCC has kindly outed Cisco’s latest device, the FlipShareTV, seemingly a companion media streamer for the company’s Flip range of point-and-shoot camcorders. The three-part FlipShareTV consists of a remote control, USB dongle for your computer, and a set-top box, with a basic folder-based browsing structure that can be used to view recorded video that has been transferred from the camcorders.

Verizon Droid gets previewed; AT&T version spotted; Droid army predicted

By Chris Davies on Saturday, Oct 24th 2009 3 Comments

By now we know that the Verizon Droid not only looks good, but has plenty of technical promise too, and BGR have followed up their preliminary hands-on with a more comprehensive preview of the Android smartphone. The Motorola Droid gets praised for its “sharp, vibrant, bright and really, really responsive” 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, while the keyboard may lack travel and feature closely-packed buttons but it’s good enough for “efficient” typing and is better than the T-Mobile G1. Meanwhile the charging dock/multimedia station (which you can see in a video demo after the cut) automatically turns the Droid into a weather station.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 No Comments

Novatel Wireless’ MC996D HSPA+ USB modem has cleared the FCC, paving the way for up to 21.6Mbps connectivity. While the company has successfully blocked internal or external shots of the modem, together with the user guide, we caught up with a prototype MC996D back in April.

FCC outs Flip Video remote

By Shane McGlaun on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 No Comments

The FCC has become a steady source of leaked product shots and scant bits of information on new gadgets and electronics before they are launched. The funny thing to me is that the FCC seems to not care when companies ask for images to be confidential. That may be bad for the company, but it’s good for those of us who want to know what products are coming. Case in point is the shot of the Flip Video RF remote control that tipped up today.

Novatel WWAN/WiFi card to bring embedded MiFi to Dell notebook?

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 24th 2009 No Comments

Are Novatel planning to put a MiFi module inside Dell’s Latitude E4300? That’s one interpretation of the company’s recent FCC filing, which shows a dual-mode WiFi and WWAN module capable of concurrently using both wireless radios, and with antenna connections for the E-series notebook.

TomTom iPhone Car Kit Gets Approved by the FCC, Still No Launch Date

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Aug 28th 2009 No Comments

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.
