Apple Magic Mouse hands-on

By Vincent Nguyen on Tuesday, Oct 20th 2009 6 Comments

While the new 27-inch iMacs may be Apple’s eye-catchers, especially in Apple Stores, it’s the company’s new Magic Mouse peripheral that will find its way to the most desks. By junking the trackball of the Mighty Mouse and replacing it with a touch-sensitive surface, Apple have not only catered for the demands of desktop users calling out for multitouch, but bypassed ongoing reliability frustrations of the mechanical ball. After the cut, our live Magic Mouse gallery together with some hands-on first impressions.

HTC Tattoo video unboxing & first-impressions

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 13th 2009 No Comments

The HTC Tattoo may not have the flagship appeal of the HTC Hero, but with its entry-level positioning it has the potential to introduce a lot more users to the Android platform. HTC have kept costs down by choosing a smaller display and using a restive touchscreen, though you still get HSPA, WiFi b/g, GPS and the company’s latest UI enhancements. A Tattoo landed on SlashGear’s desk today; check out our video unboxing, first-impressions and comparison gallery with the HTC Hero after the cut.

Nokia N900 video unboxing

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 12th 2009 7 Comments

The Nokia N900 was the stand-out device from Nokia World back in September, and we’ve been tracking the Maemo 5 smartphone ever since. Imagine our surprise, then, when a pre-release N900 dropped onto the SlashGear test bench today; the hardware is final, so the 5-megapixel autofocus Carl Zeiss camera is onboard, together with HSPA, WiFi b/g, a 3.5-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and you can check out our video unboxing and gallery after the cut.

Thermaltake Level 10 case gets unboxing

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 29th 2009 No Comments

Thermaltake’s Level 10 PC case is half monolith to computing excess and half work of art, and we’ve been hoping the company would greenlight a production run since we first spotted it. Happily that’s now happening, and if you’d like to see what $700 of chassis looks like then MaximumPC have the unboxing for you.

Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 lands for unboxing, MID comparison

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 29th 2009 No Comments

Sharp’s NetWalker PC-Z1 may not be the device for everyone – after all, a 5-inch touchscreen clamshell MID with a tiny QWERTY keyboard and 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor makes it a pretty niche handheld – but most people can appreciate a mini-laptop so we’re pleased to see the first unboxing over at Pocketables. Jenn of course is no stranger to MIDs, in fact she has a UMID mbook M1 on hand to compare the PC-Z1 with.

FunTwist Fiono 330 Ion-based nettop gets video unboxing

By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 28th 2009 No Comments

FunTwist isn’t a name we’re particularly used to hearing, but the company’s latest nettop – the Fiono 330 – shares the exclusivity of being one of the few such desktops with NVIDIA’s Ion chipset inside. Quietly released in Japan last month, Netbooked picked up the compact PC and delivered a video unboxing which you can see after the cut.

AT&T 3G MicroCell lands with buyers, unboxed

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 22nd 2009 No Comments

We could argue whether it’s AT&T’s oft-appalling network performance or simply basic femtocell curiosity that’s driving interest in the carrier’s 3G MicroCell, but either way there’s an unboxing online. Confirmed as trialling in Charlotte, North Carolina (and nowhere else yet, unfortunately), one lucky owner has documented his new-toy experience on Flickr.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 unboxing? Looks fake to us

By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 21st 2009 No Comments

Do you love Sony Ericsson enough to fake an unboxing of their upcoming Android smartphone? Now there’s no official confirmation that mobile-nova’s unboxing set of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 – aka “Rachel” – isn’t legitimate, but having peered through our handy loupe at the pictures we’re not convinced that this is the real deal.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 gets video unboxing

By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 21st 2009 No Comments

Do you know what that is? It's a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, sat in front of a generic white box, yes, but it's also the first video unboxing of the upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone that we've seen. Arne from the::unwired managed to acquire an "acceptance unit", typically supplied to carriers for final validation, which gives us a good opportunity to check out what will likely be included in retail packaging.

Viliv S7 lands at reviewers, gets video unboxing & hands-on

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 15th 2009 No Comments

It’s not quite the same as having a Viliv S7 here in our sweaty, bitten-to-the-quick hands, but we’ll certainly settle for an unboxing video for that vicarious, new-gadget thrill. As we commented the other day, several S7 units have been winging their way to reviewers worldwide, with jkkmobile and jkOnTheRun both receiving theirs this week. From the former we have an unboxing, while the latter has a live gallery and video demo.
