    Samsung Galaxy S gets torn down, looks equally beautiful on the inside (video)

    You'll be hard pressed to find a sane individual who'd argue that Samsung's Galaxy S isn't a lust-worthy piece of kit on the outside, and after watching the video past the break, we doubt you'll get too many takers on proving things unsightly within. Equipped with a Super AMOLED display and a bit of that Hummingbird goodness within, there weren't too many bits and pieces to tear apart. What was found, however, leaves a new appreciation for steady hands. Go on, give it a look-see -- the real deal will be out and about before you know it.

  • Don’t let taste stand in the way of buying a crystal iPhone stand

    Don’t let taste stand in the way of buying a crystal iPhone stand

    Are you the kind of person who has to have the best of everything? Two-ply toilet paper? Nice plastic plates? The best mixture of Alpo and brown gravy spread liberally onto your chest as a libido suppressant? Then you're going to need the Calypso Crystal iPhone stands. These stands, which range from $199 to $349 for the Aurora model, are made of leaded crystal and take "15 days to make" in Central Europe. The sad thing is that these are actually probably made in Poland where leaded crystal is actually quite popular (my mom collects it, incidentally, but I doubt she wants these.)

    Full Metal Case: Exovault billet

    According to Answers.com, a billet is "a small, usually rectangular bar of iron or steel in an intermediate stage of manufacture" or "a small ingot of nonferrous metal." I didn't know that. I also didn't know that you could get an iPhone case crafted out of such a material. But the Internet, my friends, holds many wonderful secrets. And you can, in fact, get a beautiful metal iPhone case manufactured out of brass or aluminum.

    Japan gets a cool pilot’s G-Shock watch while we get a green one

    We never get the good stuff! Casio in Japan just released this beautiful GW-3000 pilot in orange, blue, and white (I totally love that blue. It's my favorite lume/color combo). It is waterproof and runs sets itself via radio. It is also a Tough Solar model and can survive masssive impacts. It can display 29 world time cities and you can swap the home city with an away city. It also has a stopwatch and a calendar as well as a "Furuotokarenda" which is something Google seems to have translated wrong.

  • Samsung Bada UI unveiled in beautiful stills, reason for existing still blurry

    Samsung Bada UI unveiled in beautiful stills, reason for existing still blurry

    We hate to harsh on a new phone platform -- what could be more exciting, after all, than a whole new take on handset software? -- but we're pretty confused by Samsung's Bada. Still, these leaked screenshots fill us with some hope: it looks fairly pretty, and quite a bit more intuitive than the standard Samsung UI. It also seems to be an odd visual mashup of Android and Symbian, but in a good sort of way, and we look forward to the sort of democratization of touchphones it seems to represent. There, that wasn't very harsh-ey at all! Now check out the developer-oriented video after the break to let a new wave of confusion wash over you.

    ZOMG The Google Phone Is “Like An iPhone On Beautifying Steroids”

    We told you the Google phone was confirmed. And now some Googler's seem to be confirming it, too. There is a lot of chatter on Twitter about Google employees with HTC-built unlocked Google Phones running Android 2.1. And the devices look to be coming out in January. We noticed a Twitter message from Google Program Manager Leslie Hawthorn, who writes "Stuck in mass of traffic leaving work post last all hands of 2009. ZOMG we had fireworks and we all got the new Google phone. It's beautiful." Another guy, Jason Howell, says he had his hands on the device, which he says is made by HTC and is running Android 2.1: "The new Google Phone runs on HTC hardware. I saw it w/ Android 2.1. Homescreen has new visual enhancements like animated desktop wallpaper." "Supposedly, Google employees were given tons of these phones today. unlocked," he adds.
