United Keys OLED Display Keyboard and Keypad hands-on

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Well, any doubts of legitimacy have certainly been quelled: United Keys rushed us over an OLED keyboard and keypad today, and they’re certainly the real deal. We’re naturally utterly un-blown-away by the product — you get what you pay for — but it’s still a relatively unique and interesting product, and wears the mantle of [...]

Large Hadron Collider damaged and we have the photos to prove it

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

Is it possible that shoddy workmanship has once again saved the planet from an untimely demise? Not really, but this next tale should give our paranoiac readers plenty to mull over regardless.

Best Buy rumored to be hoarding Wiis for holiday push

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

It’s hard to say if this rumor is true, but it’s not behavior that Best Buy has avoided in the past. In fact, we vividly remember this exact same scenario happening in late 2006 — the difference?

Lackluster line-up of new iriver DAPs leaked

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

It looks like we might have two new iriver DAPs to get semi-not-really excited about in the very near future, if the leaked photos and specs are to be believed. We know very little about the uber-basic T5 (picture above) beyond the fact that it supports MP3, WMA, and OGG formats and has a [...]

The hotter-than-ever netbook market — which has seemingly been headed Acer’s way for a while now — has seen its numbers for the third quarter of 2008 arrive, and the Aspire One has indeed overtaken ASUS Eee PC as top dog in units moved. Acer’s captured 38.3 percent of the market share, selling 2.15 million [...]

Mysterious new Nokia touchscreen interface and handset unveiled (sort of)

Author: Jo | Files under Engadget

In a presentation given at Nokia’s Capital Markets Day 2008 last week the company quietly displayed a previously unseen handset, complete with an edge-to-edge touchscreen and subtle, attractive stylings. Perhaps even more interesting is that the screen is sporting an all-new heretofore unseen S60 touchscreen interface, giving hope to folks let down by S60 [...]
