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 [...]

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.

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.

Microsoft releases first iPhone application, Seadragon

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

After some rumblings this past March, Microsoft has now officially joined the iPhone development community with Seadragon Mobile, a free app that lets you “infinite zoom” gigapixel-sized images.

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 [...]

Garmin Nuvifone gets FCC approval

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Every once in a while we’re reminded that Garmin’s Nuvifone — announced nearly a year ago — still exists, and this time around it’s none other than the FCC doing the reminding. The curiously-named “Calf” from ASUS turns out to be the Nuvifone once you click through to the label diagrams, and test documentation reveals [...]
