Seagate confirms its working on a 3TB hard drive set for a 2010 launch
Posted on May 17, 2010 | No Comments
A few weeks back a story broke about Seagate's plan to release a 3TB 3.5mm hard drive this year. Well, apparently that's the case although if your system happens to be running a 32-bit OS like XP, you're going to be out of luck. This drive, and any other hard drive larger than 2.1TB, will require the a modified versions of Linux or the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Vista. Sorry, kids. It's time to upgrade.

Posted on May 12, 2010 | No Comments
It must be Spring, because it looks like the little Androids are multiplying.
Today sees another mid-range Android device previewed before being set upon the masses. This time it's from Samsung.
Specs are a bit scarce at the moment, but as it stands, the device appears to run Android 2.1, 802.11n, 3G, a (possible) 240x400 display, 3.5mm headphone jack, and MicroSD slot.

Square mobile payment system goes live on iPhone, iPad, and Android this week (video)
Posted on May 11, 2010 | No CommentsWe've been intrigued by the Square Payment System since it first ditched its Squirrel costume back in 2009, and now it appears we're on the eve (or eve of the eve, or pretty close anyway) to its release for not only the iPhone, but for the iPad and for Android as well. The software is said to be hitting App Stores and Markets this week, working with a sugar cube-sized card reader that pops into the 3.5mm headphone jack, a device that the company is giving away for free to those who sign up. Using it will not be free, with retailers paying fees starting at 2.75 percent plus a 15 cent surcharge, but that's considerably cheaper than many other options out there (which often require costly hardware to boot). There's another new video after the break, and we can't wait for these things to start showing up at the farmer's market. No more early morning ATM runs!
Update: Apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices are now live in their respective download abodes. None will require that you enter a single digit of your credit card.

Samsung Seek gets real for Sprint: touchscreen and QWERTY for peanuts
Posted on May 10, 2010 | No CommentsSo that rumored Seek for Sprint from Samsung turned out to be totally real -- and what's more, it's available a few weeks earlier than we'd expected (in other words, you can buy it right now). Sure, your average power user isn't going to give this little guy a second look, but if nothing else, you could argue that the Seek helps set a new standard for functionality and design at a ridiculously low price point for a brand new device by offering a touchscreen, QWERTY slide, 3.5mm headphone jack, and QVGA display for $30 on contract. Of course, that low price doesn't come without its disadvantages; the phone lacks 3G and hobbles along with a 1.3 megapixel cam -- and you've got to consider that this is the same carrier offering the Pixi for free -- so maybe it's not such a great buy after all. Look for it now in blue and red, with a pink version (complete with stylized back) launching early next month. Follow the break for Samsung's press release.

Toshiba is releasing one high-capacity HDD after another lately.

The 750GB model is the world's most capacious 2.5-inch/9.5mm high HDD. Toshiba released its predecessor (holding 640GB) back in September last year.

Chinese iPhone Air is super thin, super fake
Posted on March 16, 2010 | No CommentsCome, friends! Circle 'round and let me tell you a tale of the finest fake in all the lands. Is your standard, completely not-shady iPhone too thick and legitimate for you? 12.3mm thick? That's like a loaf of bread! What you need, friend, is the iPhone Air. Not only have they managed to completely rip off everything from the body design to the user interface (presumably poorly), but they've also stuffed it all into a package just 8.5mm thick!

The Asus Cine5 speaker brings surround sound to your bedroom, desk
Posted on March 10, 2010 | No Comments
Surround sound bars are generally about the width of a 42-inch flat panel, which is perfect if you have a large TV. But Asus now has a solution for smaller sets and computers with the Cine5 PC speaker that claims to accurately recreate the surround sound experience in a lot smaller package.

The Jabra Clipper gives the gift of Bluetooth to any 3.5mm headset
Posted on February 15, 2010 | No Comments
Jabra wasn't going to be left out of the MWC fun and so the Clipper was announced. The little Bluetooth device features a novel clip for securing to an article of clothing and a 3.5mm jack for your favorite earphones. Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP, EDR, and AVRCP technology gives the clipper everything it needs including the ability to automagically pause media playback when a phone call comes in. But don't get too attached, it doesn't look Americans will be able to clip the Clipper anytime soon.

T-Mobile myTouch 1.2 launching tomorrow with Swype keyboard
Posted on February 9, 2010 | No CommentsWe thought we knew just about everything there was to know about T-Mobile’s oh-so-subtle hardware upgrade to the myTouch, known around the Internets as the “myTouch 1.2″. Truth be told, there wasn’t really that much to know: they’d bumped the headset jack up to a standard 3.5mm jack (Hurray!), and upped the amount of RAM [...] -
XLR-to-USB cable brings you one step closer to music stardom
Posted on January 25, 2010 | No Comments
You’ve been working on your music career for 13 years now. Take things to the next level by purchasing a higher-quality microphone. You know, one with an XLR input. Ask any touring musician about microphones. They’ll all be like, “Dude. XLR all the way. You have to spend more than $5 on a microphone if you want to get a record deal. That’s how they keep the riff-raff out of the music business.”

T-Mobile myTouch with a 3.5mm jack caught on camera
Posted on January 22, 2010 | No Comments
Not too long ago, HTC announced -- much to our excitement -- that they would be putting 3.5mm jacks in all of their handsets. In non-geek speak, that means that you wouldn't need some annoying little one inch, easy-to-lose cable adapter just to be able to use your own headphones.
One of the last phones to sneak out with a non-3.5mm jack was the HTC T-Mobile myTouch. It was actually a pretty decent handset -- but that useless jack really killed our buzz when we reviewed it. Fortunately, it looks like HTC and T-Mobile are going back to fix the error in their ways.

Philips rolls into China with WinMo 6.5 via D908 slate
Posted on December 29, 2009 | No CommentsPhilips has imbued its power-sipping Xenium line with some reasonably attractive industrial design in the past, so we're not too sure what they're thinking with this latest D908 here; granted, it's apparently got WinMo 6.5 on board, but that's no excuse -- goodness knows there are plenty of beautiful devices on the market these days with Microsoft guts. The upshot, though, is that this has EV-DO with an eye on a Chinese launch, a surefire sign that it'll be coming to China Telecom. Other features include a WVGA display, 5 megapixel cam, 2GB of onboard storage with microSD expansion up to 32GB, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and an integrated FM radio. Just figure out how to slip this into a case 3 or 4mm thinner than the D908's beefy 14.5mm, Philips, and you've got a winner on your hands.

Exclusive: Nexus One full specs detailed, invite-only retail sales starting January 5th?
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No Commentsdigg_url = 'http://digg.com/tech_news/Nexus_One_full_specs_and_retail_sales_start_January_5th'; We know you're itching to get your hands on a Nexus One -- Google's managed to build buzz here the way only a couple companies in the world know how. Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to need to cross your fingers (or pull out that eBay emergency stash) to get one out of the gate, because we've got some intel here suggesting that it'll be available only by "invitation" at first. Our tipster doesn't have information on how those invites are going to be determined, other than the fact that it's Google doing the inviting -- if we had to guess, current registered developers are a strong possibility -- but the good news, we suppose, is that T-Mobile will apparently sell the phone directly at some to-be-determined point in the future. Oh, but that's not all -- we've got specs, too. Lots of them. Here are the highlights, but follow the break for the whole shebang:
- Android 2.1
- 11.5mm thick
- 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 4GB microSD in-box expandable to 32GB
- 5 megapixel camera with mechanical AF and LED flash
- HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up -- in other words, yes to T-Mobile 3G and no to AT&T 3G, though you'll still be fine on EDGE
- 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display
