    The Thomas Prescher floating tourbillon

    Posted on March 5, 2010 | No Comments
    What can you do to make the tourbillon even more precious? How about you skeletonize it until it is completely hidden in the bezel? This amazing one-off piece was made by Thomas Prescher and that little wheel in the middle there is the tourbillon mounted balance wheel. It is wound by the spinning of that [...]

    Concept watch tells time with frikkin’ lasers

    One look at what this watch does will tell you that it's just a concept, and will most likely never see the light of day (no pun intended). The Aurora Watch was designed by Jihun Yeom, and features a hollow face that makes it look like you lost part of your wristwatch, until you push a button and two lasers come out of the bezel to show you the time.

    Apple job posting hints at video option for iPads

    Posted on February 9, 2010 | No Comments
    It's crazy how the slightest little hint of something starts all the rampant speculation about Apple's product development. This is the third clue that the next generation of iPad will have a camera, if not video capability. It certainly explains the stuff that was found in the SDK.

    The red TomTom EASE is probably meant to be a Valentine’s Day gift because it’s red

    Posted on February 8, 2010 | No Comments
    It's probably a safe bet that nearly every retailer and consumer electronic manufacturer forms a committee with the sole purpose of exploiting Valentine's Day. We've  already seen the Nook Valentine's Day edition today and now it's TomTom's turn with the red EASE GPS unit. Because nothing says love like a cheap personal navigator. I kid, I kid.

    Mac-in-news Morning Round-up: Touch my Bezel

    Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
    Patents patents patents! OK. Only two. Apple may be adding touch sensitive corners to the iPad’s bezel (not in its current incarnation, though) which may allow for hot corners. These would be identified by little flags that pop up on the screen. Next? A clever little hack that may add Wii-like functionality to the Apple TV [...]

    Can the Skiff save the magazine industry?

    Posted on January 9, 2010 | No Comments
    There has been quite a bit of talk about Hearst’s Skiff ereader and we got a hands-on last night before the show closed. The device is about as big as a Kindle DX (11.5-inch display and a very thin bezel) but quite thin (.25-inches). They use a metal board spun-coated with e-ink instead of a [...]

    Posted on January 6, 2010 | No Comments
    Here it is, AV geeks: an RGBY LED panel. Yup, that means there is now a yellow pixel involved which is sure to improve, well, videos of sunflowers and Big Bird. Actually it increases the visible colors from the billions to the trillions. That's big and this announce could very well be the most important HDTV news of CES 2010. Seriously. 3D is a fade, this big. Click through for a gallery of hands-on pics and pricing.

  • Purported Motorola Droid prototype turns up on eBay

    Purported Motorola Droid prototype turns up on eBay

    Posted on November 21, 2009 | No Comments
    Wishing you could get a Motorola Droid and stand out from all your Android-toting friends at the same time? Then you might just want to consider bidding on this "limited edition" Droid prototype that just turned up on eBay, which has a reasonably good chance of being an actual Droid, and a slight chance of being an actual prototype. If the seller is to be believed, however, this particular Droid is one of only five produced, and is different from the standard issue Droid in a few respects -- including a chrome bezel instead of a black one, silver buttons instead of gold, and some "enhanced LED lighting" on the front buttons. It also apparently works just fine, and is ready to be activated. Willing to take the chance? Bidding starts at $485.

    [Thanks, Kaptix]

    Palm Pixi Review: Not for everyone, but it fits a niche

    Posted on November 14, 2009 | No Comments
    Palm and Sprint have taken a very different approach to the launch of the Pixi than they did with its slightly older and slightly brawnier brother, the Palm Pre. In the days leading up to the Pre, both parties were on full attack mode; keynotes were held, massive tradeshow booths were built, full page newspaper [...]

    The iPhone is one sexy kit, but it generally doesn’t doesn’t stay that way for long. So if your chrome bezel is scratched up, why not give it the brushed metal look? All it takes is a two-sided kitchen sponge and a bit of work to give your iPhone a different look. [via Lifehacker]

    Hi, LG: This is not a borderless TV

    Posted on September 6, 2009 | No Comments
    This is pretty much the silliest thing I’ve seen ever. LG is touting borderless TVs. What does that mean? They’re making the border around he TV black and the front of the TV flat. LG: This doesn’t mean the TVs are borderless. It means they have a flat border. Borderless would mean you can’t see an [...]
