Cyber Sport’s Orbita Mouse is a revolution

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

We’ve seen the Cyber Sport Orbita Mouse bouncing around the Internets for about a year in search of a manufacturer. Now they’ve got it, with a corresponding January 2009 retail delivery date to match. The big selling point on this 800 DPI mouse is the use of a spinning scroll-wheel that replaces the typical left [...]

Palm OS "Nova" — and first Nova device — look like a lock for CES

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

New-ness, anyone? BusinessWeek is speaking in rather authoritative terms that we’ll all be treated to the next generation of Palm OS — Nova, as it were — at a grand unveiling next month in Vegas. Details are still sketchy to say the least, but word has it that the company’s engineers are super stoked about [...]

FCC cancels white space meeting to focus on digital TV transition

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Man, we’re clearly in the wrong line of work. It seems that being in the FCC means that you can basically ignore everything else going on so long as you squint really hard and pretend to make progress on an imminent event that’s just over two months ago. Sure, we’re just bitter, but we’re struggling [...]

PlayStation Home already hacked?

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Well, that was fast. A poster by the name of StreetskaterFU has outlined what he claims is a method of hacking into PlayStation Home’s servers for download, uploading and deleting files. We’re not able to verify his directions, but if true it would be a potentially calamitous oversight on Sony’s part. Additionally, a PS3hax forum [...]

"Zune Mobile" gets mentioned, plot thickens for Project Pink

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Okay, so he doesn’t have a thinner Xbox 360 than the rest of us — at least, not one that’s been captured on camera — but Paul Thurrott still knows his way around Redmond, so when he utters the phrase “Zune Mobile,” the cellphone-using world probably ought to sit up and listen. Rumors of Microsoft’s [...]

Video: LCD retrofitted onto Nintendo GameCube

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Right, so we’ve spotted some fairly gorgeous LCD-into-GameCube integrations before, and we’ve even seen a couple that came dangerously close to making us laugh, but it’s rare to find a respectable LCD infusion on video. Thus, we present to you Liuhuparta’s own GameCube mod, which weds a Sony PSone LCD screen, an integrated Wavebird receiver, [...]

Philips underwhelms with lackluster iPod / iPhone accessory line

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Is it any wonder Philips is opting out of making a stop at CES this year? If it showed up with this line, it’d literally be laughed right out of Vegas. The outfit’s dedicated “showing” in San Francisco this past week consisted of two Streamium Network Music Players (NP2500 and NP2900) that we were already [...]

Lego console wars: NES vs. PSX… fight!

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

The been-there-done-that competition of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii are a total yawn this holiday season, so we thought we’d give you a console war with a few more interlocking plastic building blocks mixed in to keep things interesting. These two otherwise-unrelated case mods each bring their own strengths to the competition: while [...]

Kogan’s Agora gets tweaked ahead of release — in Photoshop, anyway

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

You’re bound to face a few hiccups when you’re a no-name brand trying to source an Android handset from a no-name ODM buried deep inside a Shenzen industrial park, and it seems Kogan’s going through those growing pains right about now. The Australian company still says the Agora and Agora Pro will ship before the [...]
