Official WinMo 6.5 upgrade for HTC Ozone leaked
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
Upgrading a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard device to 6.5 is like putting a fresh coat of paint on your rusted-out '78 Duster, but in the scheme of things, a 6.5 upgrade is still far, far better than a punch in the face. On that note, we're excited to hear that an official update is in the works for Verizon's Ozone from HTC, the CDMA remix of the Snap that launched with 6.1 mere months before 6.5 became widely available. Actually, it's more than "in the works" -- it's available right this very second, just not through any official channels. As usual, it's xda-developers coming through with a copy of the update, so apply it at your own risk; in reality, 6.5 brings very little to the table for Standard handsets, so you shouldn't feel too bad if you wuss out and wait for Verizon to give you the blessed version. Just don't be surprised if you end up waiting half a year for it.Official WinMo 6.5 upgrade for HTC Ozone leaked originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:18:00 EST.

Palm App catalog hits 1,000 apps… okay, 946
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No CommentsHey, good news everybody! The Palm App Catalog, which has lagged far behind its peers, has reached the 1,000 app milestone as of this morning. Well, to be precise, it's hit 946, as pointed out by Electronista, but still, it's a nice little sign of growth for the webOS apps, whose development was hampered by very restricted initial access to its Mojo SDK. In comparison to contenders such as Android, whose catalog numbers around 20,000, and Apples iTunes store, which boasts over 100,000, Palm's numbers are extremely modest -- but progress is progress, especially considering it launched its App Catalog in June with just 30 apps. We look forward to hearing Palm's CES keynote, that's for sure.

Handheld PS3 device for fanbois to cuddle at night
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
So here's a somewhat interesting gadget. Instead of converting a PS3 into a hand-held device, a crafty modder named techknott built a custom transmitter. The transmitter allows a player to not only control their PS3 remotely, but also to view the output on a small video screen.

Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
If you live in a northern climate, tomorrow marks the first real day of hunkering down for the cold, cold winter with nothing to look forward to until spring. We used to have the new season of Deadwood starting up in February, but HBO killed it.

Unassuming cap sports hidden camcorder
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
Pardon me, miss? I’d just like to tell you that I think your hat is fly. Dope, even. Too bad you’ll never remember my face. Memorize it now and then lose me forever. Unless, of course, you’ve somehow got a camcorder hidden in that thing! That’s unlikely, as your hat is far too stylish to be a technology product.

Recognizing XM Channel 202’s excellence, 2009 edition
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No CommentsLast year's Satellite Radio Awards were a smashing success, so let's do it again! Only this time I'm throwing out the idea of handing out awards to the whole of satellite radio (and these awards are obviously just for fun), and instead will focus my energies on the channel that I spend 99 percent of my time tuned into: XM Channel 202 The Virus. If It weren't for 202 I would have killed my subscription some time ago.

Gruber on the Tablet
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
Good old John Gruber. While the rest of us are panting, he sits in the corner, calmly stroking his luxurious beard. He thinks the Tablet is real, I doesn't know anything about, all of his best sources say Apple's best designers are incognito, and that Steve loves the project.

Samsung i899 does EV-DO, AMOLED, Android for China
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No CommentsImagine, if you will, a slightly revised Galaxy for CDMA with EV-DO Rev. A. What have you got brewing in your head right now? Odds are it looks a little something like this, Samsung's freshly-announced i899 for China. Since China Telecom is the patron saint of EV-DO over there, you can probably gather where this sucker will be going -- and it'll come in swinging big with WiFi, a 3.2-inch HVGA AMOLED display, 3.2 megapixel cam with flash, and an 800MHz core (probably the same one used in the Moment, if we had to guess). It'll be launching shortly -- but unless you happen to be in the area, this is probably going to be a tricky one to get.

Mountain Dew and Pepsi Throwback bring real sugar back to sodas once again
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No CommentsThey’re baaaack! I just spotted the greatest beverages on Earth in my local Rite Aid while shopping for New Year’s Eve refreshments. The last I heard, Pepsi discontinued the Throwback line after a brief early summer run. But according to Wikipedia – who’s never wrong — the HFCS-free sodas are back for a limited time. Why, oh [...] -
Snuggle Suit: It’s a robe with pants
Posted on December 31, 2009 | No Comments
If you’ve been following Snuggie news as closely as I have, you’ll definitely have noticed that most, if not all, Snuggie knock-offs are far superior to the original. Take this Snuggle Suit, for instance. It’s $20 and you could wear it as an actual outfit around many parts of New Jersey without getting a second look.

Rumor: Samsung Mobile to launch absolutely nothing at CES?

When we got word that Samsung Mobile was holding their CES press conference at the ungodly hour of 7:30 A.M on [...] -
