    Amazon’s convenient packaging hates hard drives

    Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
    I like Amazon's "frustration free" packaging. When I ordered my copy of Command & Conquer 4, it came in that easy to open package, and it makes sense: why put a dvd in a box with a bag of air, and waste all that shipping? Would I trust a hard drive to that packaging? No way in hell.

    The good word of the rumor mill said we’d be hearing about Push-to-talk on the Verizon BlackBerry Tour soon, and sure enough: ol’ VeeZeeDub has just made it official. The Push-to-talk application should land in the Tour Application Center on March 30th, at which point anyone lookin’ to get in on the fun can add [...]

    .canon: Canon wants to establish its own top-level domain

    Posted on March 17, 2010 | No Comments
    Megalomania or genius marketing move? Canon seriously takes aim at becoming the world's first company with its own generic top-level domain (gTLD), namely ".canon". The new domain would join the likes of .com, .edu, .gov, .org, etc. (Wikipedia has the full list). The Japanese electronics giant announced [press release in English] its plan to acquire the rights for the domain from ICANN today.

    Snapback automatically reconnects calls when your BlackBerry takes a dive

    Posted on February 17, 2010 | No Comments
    It’s an unavoidable truth of carrying a cell phone in a world full of massive skyscrapers and thick-walled tunnels: Dropped calls happen. It always seem to happen at the worst of times, too. You’re driving along with your Bluetooth headset clamped to your head, when bam! Call is gone. You don’t want to look away from [...]

    Traveling with batteries and ordering gadgets online could soon get pricey

    Posted on February 6, 2010 | No Comments
    Here are two totally unrelated things I like to do: order gadgets and smartphones online, and travel with loads of spare batteries. Well, perhaps they’re not all that unrelated. Both offer a lot of convenience and save a good amount of cash, but with a new proposal from the U.S. Department of Transportation, that could [...]

  • Samsung to show a bada phone at Mobile World Congress?

    Samsung to show a bada phone at Mobile World Congress?

    Posted on February 1, 2010 | No Comments
    Fun Fact: if you were to run a Google Image Search for "bada" at the time I published this post, you wouldn't find a single image relevant to Samsung's bada operating system until the third page, otherwise known as "that page that no one goes to because they've given up hope." Maybe that'll change once Samsung shows off a smartphone running the operating system - which, if this statement from ol' Sammie themselves is any indication, might be as soon as two weeks from now.

    It sure does seem that the Apple tablet has been confirmed several times in the past few months. Well, here we go again! As some of you have already read on TechCrunch, a France Télécom/Orange executive has “confirmed” the existence of Apple’s highly anticipated tablet computer during a broadcast interview. Here’s hoping Apple releases the tablet as soon as possible so we can all move on with our lives.

  • Re transforms your iPhone into a universal remote (which seems like a step backwards, to be honest)

    Re transforms your iPhone into a universal remote (which seems like a step backwards, to be honest)

    Posted on December 20, 2009 | No Comments
    OK, so we know a thing or two about the "convenience" of using your iPhone as a remote control. For instance, using it to control Boxee was alright -- until we needed to make a call. Or we received a call. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the idea of re-purposing your phone to act as a universal remote seems a little silly. But what do we know? Maybe you hold all calls while Jersey Shore is on anyways. In that case, Re could be your next favorite gadget. This bad boy lets your handset communicate with all your AV equipment via infrared, contains an extensive database of devices, and can learn from any IR remote. If that weren't enough, New Kinetix promises regular updates to the app -- and your typical remote can't do that! Compatible with the iPod Touch as well, there's no word yet on a price or release date, but we're expecting that we'll be getting plenty more details come CES time.

    Happy Thanksgiving: Sony sells some 400,000 PS3s last week

    Posted on December 1, 2009 | No Comments
    This may be the first holiday season in a long time that Sony is looking forward to. Some 440,000 PS3s were sold last week (compared to 550,000 Nintendo Wiis), and Sony says demand for the system was at “an all-time high.” Good thing for that price cut and re-design, right?

    Review: TomTom Car Kit for iPhone and iPod Touch

    Short Version $219.94. The price says it all. The TomTom Car Kit is great; it works perfectly, and I loved using it. In fact, I wish I could keep the review unit that TomTom sent me. That said, would I ever spend 2 bills and change on it? Mayyyybe, but it’s unlikely. A standalone TomTom [...]
