    As handfuls of iPhone 4s begin to slip through the cracks and into the grabby hands of hungry phone fans everywhere, the first batches of unboxing pictures are starting to go live as we type this. (You mean these people aren't waiting to open up their phones with the rest of us chumps on Thursday mornings? Jerks! You guys probably peeked at your Christmas presents as a kid, too. [Just kidding, of course -- tear those things apart.]) We're keeping an eye out for galleries as they go up; if you're amongst the many hundreds of thousands waiting on the edge of the seat, join as after the jump for these last minute teases.

    Dyson’s new air multipliers blow (in a good way)

    Back in October, John reviewed Dyson's original "air multiplier" (can you say fan?) and while he liked it, the pricing was a bit extreme for a something that blew air around a room. That being said, Dyson has come out with new line of "air multipliers" and this time they've added a few new tricks to the line.

  • Samsung Acclaim arrives in US Cellular stores July 9, we’re sure somebody will care

    Samsung Acclaim arrives in US Cellular stores July 9, we’re sure somebody will care

    Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
    Looks like we have a small band of US Cellular fans among our numbers, as we've received a slew of tips letting us know that the national carrier has dropped an official release date for the Samsung Acclaim. This most mundane of Android sliders will arrive on July 9, and... well, that's it really. US Cellular hasn't seen fit to entice us with any actual specs or even an Android version, though information floating about the interwebs suggests it has a 3.2-inch HVGA screen and a stock Eclair installation. We'll just have to wait until somebody at Samsung swallows the shame of being associated with the Acclaim and finally gives us some official details.

  • HTC Aria slipping out early into AT&T stores

    HTC Aria slipping out early into AT&T stores

    Posted on June 18, 2010 | 1 Comment
    Good news, Android fans! HTC's Aria -- arguably the first Google-fied phone on AT&T worth caring about -- is seemingly slipping onto carrier floors a few days early. As the story goes, the Sense-equipped, Android 2.1-powered handset was supposed to go on sale this Sunday, but based on these unboxing shots from a giddy tipster, it's clearly ready to be procured early in some locations. Still unsure if it's worth your $129.99 on contract? Have a peek at our review right here.

    Update: We're also hearing through the grapevine that these are in stock in certain Best Buy Mobile locations.

    [Thanks, Travis]

  • Time to make your “Move” and pre-order Sony’s latest gadget

    Time to make your “Move” and pre-order Sony’s latest gadget

    Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
    Good news Sony fans, turns out that it's time to start warming up that credit card and ordering your PS3 Move controller. It's starting to show up as being available for pre-order (along with a few other tasty bits). Remember it'll be officially available in the US on September 19th, but you might want to pre-order since Sony kind of has a habit of running out of product when they first come out.

  • Sony Ericsson ‘Shakira’ to be called the Xperia X8?

    Sony Ericsson ‘Shakira’ to be called the Xperia X8?

    Posted on June 14, 2010 | No Comments
    We hesitate to call these legit press shots -- as we've said before, Sony Ericsson fans are world-renowned for their capacity for high-quality fakery -- but German site mobiFlip.de has posted a bunch of renders of the so-called Shakira that look very possibly real to us. They're also saying that the phone will be dubbed the Xperia X8 at retail, a name that probably makes sense considering that the 3-inch Android phone is clearly designed to slot in below the high-end X10. Beyond that, we still don't have much to go on -- pricing, availability, target markets, and so on -- so we'll just hang out here on the edge of our seats for a while longer, or until we're distracted once again by the X10 mini pro's mind-numbing cuteness.

    [Thanks, René]

    As promised, LG’s mid-range, QWERTY, Android-powered slider (phew), the Ally, is now available from Verizon. Just think: somewhere out there, keen LG/Iron Man 2/Android fans are braving the harsh Spring conditions, waiting for their favourite Verizon stores to open. The less adventurous of the devout would have just pre-ordered it, but where’s the honour in [...]

    Bad news, Yankees fans. Apparently the winningest team in the history of sport doesn't want you sitting inside the stadium with an iPad on your lap. That's right: the iPad is banned at Yankee Stadium! So says a poster on one of the IGN messageboards. The Bronx is burning.

    It would appear that Sonic 4 has been delayed until the “latter half of 2010.” That’s the bad news. The good news? One, there’s a new trailer. Two, it’ll also come out for the iPhone and iPod touch (in addition to the platforms we already knew about). Hear that, Nintendo? The full title of the game [...]
