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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. Although Seadragon is available as a Silverlight application on the desktop, Microsoft isn’t bringing Silverlight to the iPhone, so don’t get your hopes up. We’re itching to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Combining huge screens with usable keyboards in a pocketable package is the challenge phone manufacturers are eternally doomed to try to solve, leading to an endless stream of (mostly comical) patent applications for ridiculous form factors that will never see the light of day. That’s where we think — well, we hope — Nokia’s latest [...]
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 [...]
