    Video: Sony announces Walkman W series (with special Metal Gear Solid version)

    Posted on May 12, 2010 | No Comments
    Sony in Japan once again updated their Walkman lineup today, this time with the Walkman W series. The new NWD-W253 [JP] has two things going for it: first, it's waterproof (IPX5), which means you can use the "Wearable Walkman" in the rain or even "wash" it under water. And second, Sony will roll out a special Metal Gear Solid - Peace Walker version.

    Keepin’ it real fake: GiPhone F98 is the KIRFiest next gen iPhone KIRF to ever KIRF

    Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
    It's been nearly a month since a China Grabber employee drunkenly left his experimental prototype next gen GiPhone at a Sushi Bar in Shenzhen, where it was found and sold to Shanzai.com for several thousand Yuan -- and the gadget world hasn't been the same since. The GiPhone F98 features, as all of these KIRFs do, dual SIM cards, an FM Radio, an "iPhone style" UI, WiFi, Bluetooth, and compatibility with 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz GSM. And it's one of the thickest phones we've seen in a long time! (See for yourself after the break.) Available now for $150, if you dare.

    [Thanks, Jessica]

    Uh oh, sounds like the tablet that Steve brought down from the mountain might be susceptible to attack. A recent campaign by malware spammers has been targeting users of the much hyped iPad, inviting users to download an updated and improved version of iTunes. The update promises to provide more compatibility and better performance, and is completely fake.

    x264 now encodes Blu-ray-compatible video

    Break out a blank DVD and fire up x264! The folks behind x264, the freeware h.264 encoder, have announced Blu-ray compatibility. That means you'll be able to burn a DVD containing h.264 video that will play on your standard-issue Blu-ray player. That's good news if you still burn DVDs, something I haven't done in for something like a year, and even then it was for someone else. Go away, plastic discs.

    Like every other tech blogger, I've been flooded with press releases about apps that are now available for the iPad. I've been underwhelmed, on the whole, with "news" of app updates for iPad compatibility but word came to me recently that BugMe had been approved for the iPad. That got me thinking about my review of BugMe for the iPhone.

    Apparantly not satisfied with only encompassing Digidesign, Avid announced yesterday their planned acquisition of Euphonix. Makers of the System 5 series of audio consoles, converters, and a little more in my price range, control surfaces for audio and video software.

    Don't worry. The long national nightmare of iPad mania will soon be over. That said, Google just announced complete compatibility and a new layout for their Services on the iPad. Gmail, for example, now appears in a two column layout and uses all HTML5 rendering, thereby ensuring a seamless, clean display. Other services include YouTube - which works with iPad sans issues - and the Google Mobile App. The Google Mobile App, for example, has been made bigger to fit the iPad's larger screen.

    Digital camera is half-inch thick, costs $25

    Posted on March 12, 2010 | No Comments
    Welcome to the future of digital photography, friends. This $25 camera measures 13.5 millimeters thick and takes what I can only assume to be mind-blowingly detailed 640x480 photos. That’s not all! The built-in memory holds 52 images! There’s no expansion slot but like I said, it holds 52 images. You’re not going to need an expansion slot, am I right?
