    Hands-on with Creative’s ZiiSound D5 and D200 Bluetooth speakers

    Posted on June 17, 2010 | No Comments
    I’ve been following Creative for so long I feel like they’re old friends to me. I’ve been impressed over the years with their MP3 player line but they, like so many audio manufacturers, have seen the writing on the wall and the future isn’t in making the MP3 players – it’s in making the stuff [...]

  • Sony Ericsson announces Xperia X8, plus Android 2.1 updates to Xperia X10 line

    Sony Ericsson announces Xperia X8, plus Android 2.1 updates to Xperia X10 line

    Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
    Two pieces of good news here for Sony Ericsson fans: the company today announced the next phone in their Xperia line, the X8. Slotting in below the X10, the X8 will be its smaller, cheaper sibling. Speaking of the X10, here's the other piece of good news: they (as in all three types of the X10), will get a bump from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1 in Q3 of this year. For the original X10, the bump will also bring HD video recording, which is a neat bonus.

  • Microsoft Germany goes live with Kin 1 and Kin 2 specs

    Microsoft Germany goes live with Kin 1 and Kin 2 specs

    Posted on April 20, 2010 | No Comments
    We got our first good look at Microsoft's upcoming smart feature phones -- the Kin 1 and Kin 2 -- a week back. While the company let us man-handle the phones, Microsoft was quiet about the actual specs. But Microsoft Germany apparently thought that was silly and just released all the technical info on the two phones via its Facebook Fan Page. How nice.

    Sony Ericsson’s Aspen revealed, brings WinMo 6.5.3 with it

    Posted on February 2, 2010 | No Comments
    Today’s looking to be a pretty big day for both Sony Ericsson and Microsoft: with the official announcement of SE’s new Aspen handset, both companies are ready to show off what they should have done in the first place. Sony Ericsson has never had much luck with their portrait-QWERTY portfolio, with their last attempt being the [...]

  • Helium Digital straps your wrist with HDBT-990 Bluetooth communicator

    Helium Digital straps your wrist with HDBT-990 Bluetooth communicator

    Posted on January 4, 2010 | No Comments
    This Helium Digital HDBT-990 Bluetooth wristband could be a godsend for businessmen who want to avoid sticky wires and phones to answer a call while jogging, except it does look kind of bland (too hard to add a watch?). If appearance isn't what you're after, this wristband does offer audible caller ID, A2DP (although it's unclear if you can get stereo output -- we see no headphone jack here; probably just for higher mono fidelity), noise cancellation, and vibration alert for both incoming calls and when your phone is out of range -- the latter kind of mimicking the nio Bluetooth tag. Battery-wise it'll do 4 hours of talk time and 160 hours for standby. All yours for $87 starting in February.

    LG announces GW820 ‘eXpo’ smartphone w/ 1GHz processor and optional projector

    Posted on November 30, 2009 | No Comments
    LG has announced a new Windows Mobile 6.5-based smartphone, the eXpo. But unlike other 6.5 smarties on the market, the newest member of the LG family is packing just about everything but the kitchen sink including a 1GHz processor, a built-in fingerprint sensor, and an optional Pico Projector. Maybe they should have named it the [...]

  • Double Review: SolarVoice 908 and SolarCharger 906

    Double Review: SolarVoice 908 and SolarCharger 906

    Posted on November 30, 2009 | No Comments
    My first experience with solar energy was in Cub Scouts, when we made a solar-powered hot dog cooker. Unfortunately, solar technology hasn't advanced terribly much in the intervening decades. At the consumer level, solar power still isn't particularly useful for very much outside of a few niche markets. i.Tech has a couple of products that make a real effort to bring usefulness to solar power for the average user: the SolarVoice 908 Bluetooth headset and the SolarCharger 906 multi-device charger.

    Samsung to launch the Mythic and Flight for AT&T on Nov. 8th

    Posted on November 5, 2009 | No Comments
    Another week, another truckload of Samsung devices dumped onto the shelves. This week's Samsung shipment brings two new TouchWiz-based touchscreen handsets: the Mythic, and the Flight. Before we dive into the specs, we gotta give Samsung some grief for the names. Not because they're bad - in fact, I really, really like both of these names. So much that I wonder why the hell Samsung is giving them to two random TouchWiz handsets. I mean, come on: LG has to resort to calling one of their best selling phones "Cookie", and you throw away Mythic? For shame! Anyway, on to the handsets:

    Garmin announces the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV GPS

    Posted on July 6, 2009 | No Comments
    GPS’s are mostly uninteresting to me since I have little use for one in NYC, so this post is mostly for my brother and his BMW. It’s unclear what the “expanded relationship” is between Garmin and BMW Motorrad, but I’m pretty sure the announcement of the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV GPS is the extent of that whole business.

  • Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXV: HiPhone Nano meets Aura in a knock-off of modest proportions

    Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXV: HiPhone Nano meets Aura in a knock-off of modest proportions

    Posted on May 29, 2009 | No Comments

    The Egs HiPhone Nano F210 borrows some of the aura of... well, the Aura. And why not? Half the fun of the KIRF scene is the way that these bandits mix and match aspects of devices according to whatever crazy whim they might be experiencing at the moment. (The other half of the fun? Exploding batteries, of course.) Along with the stylish and quite possibly functional iPod click wheel, this bad boy features: tri-band GSM, a 1.4-inch screen, VGA camera, Bluetooth A2DP, FM tuner, and some sort of media player. As China Grabber puts it: "This is tailor-made for small girls in mobile phones, will the pursuit of individuality, culture, dare to do you a taste of delicacy!!!" Yours today for $139.99. If you're feeling lucky (or you've done something wrong in your past) hit that read link and see for yourself.
