  • So it begins: The iPhone 4 shatters like a mofo

    So it begins: The iPhone 4 shatters like a mofo

    Posted on June 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Reader Jared dropped his fresh new iPhone 4. The result? A shattered back. I thought this glass was supposed to be as strong as the Hulk’s purple shorts? I’ve never broken an iPhone screen. My brother-in-law has and I know Kyle has, but this is pretty egregious – an hour out of the box and crash [...]

    Man - is Motorola just giving out new, unannounced handsets to everyone they see carrying a camera? Between the Droid Xtreme, and the Droid 2, the number of leaks is starting to get silly. With that said, keep'em coming! Today's latest batch of leaked goods comes in the form of gloriously sharp shots of the Droid 2's keyboard-less brother, the Droid Xtreme.

    Man! Just minutes ago, I was having trouble explaining just how damned good the iPhone 4's display looks in person. Then I remembered this shot.

    HTC Desire to get Android 2.2 in late June?

    Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
    Android 2.2 might already be rolling out to the Nexus One — but what about it’s nearly-identical European brother, the HTC Desire? If a random HTC customer service rep is to be believed — which we generally wouldn’t recommend — the Desire should be seeing Android 2.2 in all of its Flash-packin’, performance-boosting glory within [...]

    At first, there was one. One rumor to rule them all. According to this rumor, the myTouch Slide would be hitting store shelves on June 2nd. And then.. another was born. The sky darkened and the sun fell black; according to this second rumor, the myTouch Slide would be reaching stores not on June 2nd, but [...]

    Sprint’s EVO 4G Plans a Party For May 12

    Posted on April 20, 2010 | No Comments
    Sprint's so-hot-it-burns EVO 4G is coming of age, and has decided to invite its besties out for a little party in New York City on May 12. Just like it's jealous WinMo-powered older brother, HD2, EVO 4G has decided to go with a movie theme for its party: the peeps are invited to come watch the fun-loving Prince of Persia play in the Sands of Time ahead of the Prince's Memorial Day release.

    The Zune HD has seen modest price drops the last few weeks with the Zune HD 32 now available at the ever important $199 price point. With a lite dose of speculation, it now all makes sense seeing as there is clearly a Zune HD 64 launching in the near future.

  • Brother Japan to release a $1,100 “document reader”

    Brother Japan to release a $1,100 “document reader”

    Posted on February 11, 2010 | No Comments
    In March last year, we covered the SV-100, a monochrome, A4-sized "document reader" made by Brother that never found its way outside Japan. Mainly targeting business users, the device went on sale in this country in June 2009 for $1,450. And next week, Brother is going to roll out the SV-70 [JP], a new version, which is again Japan-only (at this point, at least).

    5 Things The iPhone Could Learn From The iPad

    Posted on January 28, 2010 | No Comments
    As is to be expected of any device that the masses get excited about prior to it actually existing, the iPad has torn the Internet in two. Some love it, seeing it as the first iteration of an eventually world-changing device; others just don’t see a point. “It’s just a big iPhone,” they say, “and [...]

    The Palm Pixi really wants to be a Pre

    Posted on November 18, 2009 | No Comments
    Don't worry. This won't be another post on the merits/shortcomings of the Pixi and whether such a handset is worthwhile as its older, more capable brother, the Pre, plummets in price. Other sites have done that to death. I just wanted to point out that, regardless of how anyone feels about the handset, even the Pixi wants to be a Pre. Check out this picture, taken right from a fresh-out-of-the-box Pixi.

    blackberrytouchpatent Yay, rumors! Today's fun rumor comes courtesy of one Mr. Shaw Wu, a Kaufman Bros. analyst, who believes (thanks to his sources in the supply chain) that a BlackBerry 9900 has not only hit the prototype phase, but also features an entirely new form factor for RIM - a touchscreen slider.

  • Quick Look: Chumby One

    Quick Look: Chumby One

    Posted on November 12, 2009 | No Comments
    Ladies and germs: the Chumby One. Hot on the heels of its soft, leathery older brother, the Chumby One goes for a more non-nonsense aesthetic with hard edges and a more clock-radio feel. As you recall, the device costs $99.95 and allows you to play back little widgets on a tiny touchscreen. It is at once banal in its simplicity and amazingly unfettered in the amount of content you can stream to the device. Our Chumby One came pre-installed with a few widgets including our own news feed and Twitter, which lets you view your Tweets whenever the widget rolls around. I'm going to place this thing on my desk and treat it like a third screen in order to really test the value of this wee fellow. More soon.
