Well, looky here, we have a new Android OS prototype device still coming from HTC. All the previous models we have seen have been white, and looked considerably different, and one of the prototypes was some dark color, but it was a giant touch screen ala the iPhone, so this is a new 3rd prototype, [...]
Nokia, I take it back. When you showed your 2008 concept video last month, I mentioned it was all strikingly iPhone-esque; now, I’ve seen the light and I realise you’re actually leading, not following. Yes, the phone in the video has a vaguely Apple theme to the UI, but we now know it does what [...]
Despite being left out of the Android fun & games, Nokia seem to be doing alright for themselves; over at Symbian-Freak they’ve been playing with a prototype of the upcoming N82, the latest in the Finnish company’s high-end cameraphone range. It should be enough to cause ructions over in the LG Viewty camp, too, with [...]
Remember the cute little Linux-powered MTube UMPC prototypefrom last week? Well, if you were having doubts that you could pack a VIA 1.0GHz CPU, 8GB of flash memory and 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen into a super-small casing, together with WiFi and WiMAX, andhave it actually work, then consider your doubts quashed; Bjorn Stronberg over at UltraMobileLife was allowed [...]
A team at Vanderbilt University has been hard at work and has come up with a prosthetic arm whose characteristics are far closer to that of an actual human arm than anything else so far. The weight is pretty close to the same and its capacity for lifting and other tasks is pretty on [...]
Japanese are not the only people that can create cool gadgets, a phone manufacturer in China has got some nice prototype of wristwatch phone called Cect mobile watch phone.
Not much in the way of information, but it’s great to see one of Intel’s UMPC concepts apparently getting the go-ahead for production. Hyped to include the company’s latest McCaslin-based CPU, it’s a twisty, flippy device with full QWERTY keyboard, trackstick and dedicated mouse buttons; it also has a rotating webcam and stereo speakers.
Make sure [...]
Oh to have the sort of friends Steve Paine does. My inbox fills up with “funny” photos of dogs doing silly things, or round-robin messages of good will, whereas he gets pictures of prototype Tablet PCs. Admittedly the latest is conspicuous for the absence of accompanying information, but if pictures speak a thousand words then [...]
Pre-production phones, eh? Who’d have ‘em. Software glitches, occasionally dodgy build quality, not being able to sell them on eBay - it’s a harsh life getting your hands on luscious hardware before anyone else. Enter stage-left the Nokia N95, not for our grabbing hands until next year but here in pre-production form getting the once-over [...]
Optimus keeps trickling out even more impressive photos of the Upravlator keyboard, a grown-up version of the Optimus Mini Three with a four by three key matrix that are larger to boot. This time using LCD rather than OLED screens, running at a far greater resolution, Upravlator is aimed at macro-using graphic designers, computer musicians [...]
