At CES, we were given a review unit of Game Wave by ZAPiT Games Inc. We did the unboxing of it as soon as we got back to our hotel. This time our unboxing feature two of our editors, Satsuki Then (SlashGear Japan Executive Editor) and Rue Liu (SlashGear US Senior Editor). While unboxing is [...]
The Unofficial Apple Weblog have once again allowed their lust for Apple-esque hardware to tempt them, and have put up a whole gallery of the ModBook, a slate-format tablet computer that runs OS X. Basically a dismantled-then-rebuilt-differently Apple notebook, it uses the the OS’s in-built Inkwell software for handwriting recognition, gesture control and pen functionality.

Please excuse me while I weep like a cudgelled nun over the sheer prettiness of UREN’s V1 UMPC, designed almost ideally for use as an in-car computer. Normally this slim-frame beauty is only available in Korea (I really must go on a holiday there sometime, preferably with some embezzled SlashGear funds) but Bjorn over at [...]
Back in September Dell started selling the Ergodex DX1 customisable keyboard - an RF platter onto which individual keys can be fixed to create unique layouts.

There’s also [...]
SlashGear has been lucky enough not only to get our hands on a Samsung Q1 but the solid-state-disk Via-based version the Q1b. And because we know you love the rustle of packaging and the creak of ripping tape just as much as we do, here’s our boy Vincent Nguyen playing the Christmas Morning Game [...]
I’m in something of an unboxing mood right now, possibly because it’s getting close to Christmas and my palms are increasingly moist at the thought of unwrapping goodies in the shade of an indoor tree. Anyway, here’s Google’s latest gift for its beloved AdSense partners - a digital photo frame. Vincent got his hands on [...]
There are some people out there who, when they get a new toy, hurriedly rip away the packaging in a mad dash to get to the prize inside. For others, there’s the joy of the unboxing - peeling away the layers of user guides, accessories, crappy case and multiple strata of molded cardboard, enjoying the [...]
Leaving presents for departing colleagues are tricky things to judge. First there’s the harrowing task of going round the office looking for donations - you’re bound to resurrect a few “he stole my favourite mug!”-style gripes - and then you have to decide what to buy. If you’re a woman, it’s a pretty good chance [...]
