There are really only two reasons we’ll hang around waiting for a gadget: either it’s so impressive that it hurts, or it’s a total bargain. Vizio’s 50-inch VP505XVT plasma HDTV fell for the most part in the latter category, being a steal at just $1,499.99, but with at least half a foot in the door [...]
T-Mobile has just sent us what we now believe to be one of the best phones that they have to offer. The T-Mobile Behold by Samsung has provoked plenty of discussion since its announcement, making us all the more eager to get our hands on this touchscreen handset. The biggest question in our mind is, [...]
The biggest drawback I have with the iPhone 3G is its battery life when 3G network is enabled. Barely managing a full days standby time with Exchange email syncing switched on, the iPhone 3G clearly needs some extra juice to stay alive; hence why the Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 3G was developed. Identical [...]
A GPS unit with classic 80s Knight Rider styling and the original voice of K.I.T.T. to give directions: Mio could’ve filled the box with rocks and still sold thousands to loyal fans of the TV series. Mio insist though that, behind the gimmicks, there’s a solid PND (Personal Navigation Device); SlashGear strapped on a [...]
Fujitsu’s LifeBook T2020 convertible Tablet PC was announced last month, complete with some of the features the company has become known for in the touchscreen niche. The indoor/outdoor display is likely the biggest draw, being quite a hit with mobile professionals, but the new SSD options and WWAN should provide some upgrade temptation too. TabletPCReview [...]
Telenav just announced the Shotgun, a new Internet-connected personal GPS navigation device (PND). The Shotgun is the company’s first two-way PND taking advantage of cellular networks to provide real-time traffic alerts, Internet content such as maps and business listings as well as updated gas prices.
In the first part of our HTC Touch HD review, we looked at the physical design, the display, the touchscreen, TouchFLO 3D, messaging and internet browsing. Now, in the second part of our exclusive SlashGear review, we’ll look at GPS and media performance, camera ability and battery life, together with how the Touch HD performs as [...]
Alienware’s M17 gaming notebook, announced on Monday, has already reached reviewers, and unlike some of the company’s more outrageous machines it looks to be a surprising example of compromise. The selling points are the optional quad-core processors and ATI CrossFireX graphics, normally big money items; to keep the starting price low, however, you lose out [...]
Sony Ericsson’s HBH-S800 Bluetooth Stereo Earphones were announced back in July but have only just begun shipping. Possibly some of the slickest wireless earphones we’ve seen to-date, the HBH-S800’s manage to squeeze Bluetooth receiver, battery, controls and microphone into two compact earbuds and a tiny microphone bump. Register Hardware have reviewed the HBH-S800’s and, price aside, [...]
The T-Mobile cameo might have featured big in the carrier’s holiday announcement yesterday, but it’s actually been a long time coming. Originally announced as the Parrot DF7700 back in October 2007, the 7-inch, 720 x 480 digital photo frame allows you to load images not only via a memory card but from MMS and email [...]
