  • iPhone 4 hits FCC, becomes world’s second announced pentaband 3G phone

    iPhone 4 hits FCC, becomes world’s second announced pentaband 3G phone

    You really can't fault Apple's timing. While the iPhone 4 may have slipped out in physical form way ahead of its launch today, the FCC docs for it were kept under seal until this very moment. So what do we find out from the disclosure? The Commission identifies the fourth-gen iPhone as model number A1332, and also confirms that it carries a Bluetooth module, that precious 802.11n capability that's still missing from most phones, and -- here's the good bit -- five bands of 3G internet compatibility: UMTS I/II/V/VI/VIII (evidence after the break). Which is all sorts of interesting, since Apple omits one of them -- the 800MHz band VI, most commonly used in Japan -- on the iPhone 4's specs page. Feel free to speculate away on what that might mean. Sadly, the reports grow rather dry from there, with nary a word on how banging the new IPS screen is or how well the FaceTime video chat works -- guess we'll just have to figure those things out for ourselves. Oh, and the first announced pentaband beastie; why it's the Nokia N8.

  • Atari and Cryptic anger the people who bought Star Trek Online at launch

    Atari and Cryptic anger the people who bought Star Trek Online at launch

    Remember Star Trek Online? Yeah, it came out waaaaay back on February 2nd of 2010. Well, it's Cryptic's game, but it's published by Atari, and since there maybe hasn't been the level of interest everyone was looking for, they are running a sale. It's a pretty good deal too, since you get the game for $10 off (which isn't so bad) and you an additional 60 days of free gameplay (which is the frustrating part). That's a total of 90 days of free play, including the 30 days that come with the purchase of the game. That seems really unfair to the players who pre-ordered or bought the game when it first came out.

    Office Depot somehow gets exclusive rights to sell $230 NASCAR chair

    I don't know how in the world Office Depot managed to secure the rights to this exclusive, limited edition “No. 14 Tony Stewart NASCAR High-Back Leather Bonded Chair” but all the suits at Office Max and Staples must be going ape shit right about now. If you don’t have stock in Office Depot, buy as much as you can afford as soon as possible (disclosure: I don’t own any stock in Office Depot… YET).

    Hyper-Active-GO-GO-GO Quick Look: Kingston MobileLite G2

    Kingston just released a second generation of their super-compact memory card reader line. Being that there isn't all that much to say about it, I decided to give it a quick run-through on video. Let me know if you dig it - I love doing video stuff, but just don't know whether or not people enjoy it. Also: Don't do drugs, kids.
