Video: LG is marketing the GM730 with… puppets?
Posted on July 13, 2009 | No CommentsSo, let’s say you’re really digging the LG GM730. It was perfect: you loved the look of the KM900 Arena, but needed something with a bit more Windows Mobile - bam, the GM730 fit the bill.

Let’s slow down with the scary-sounding cyberwar stuff
Posted on July 8, 2009 | No CommentsMatt Drudge is running two big stories right now: The Google Chrome OS, and the apparent cyberattack that took down a few U.S. government Web sites. Several outlets, including the AP, are already going with the scary-sounding “It was the North Koreans!” angle, but let's slow down for a minute.

Amazon becoming Apple becoming…
Posted on June 26, 2009 | No CommentsIt's raining for perhaps the 900th day in a row here, so we might as we learn something while we're all stuck inside all day illegally downloading Michael Jackson songs. The Amazon Kindle—I'm sure you've heard of it. What you might not know is that it represents perhaps the last piece of tech gadgetry that I actually enjoy. Well, would enjoy—at $350, it's still a tad expensive for me. In any event, Fast Company has a fun cover story this month, written by an old professor of mine, about how Amazon is trying so, so hard to make e-books the new hot thing, just like how Apple did a few years ago with digital music downloads.

A Panasonic Toughbook vs a tiger and elephant
Posted on June 24, 2009 | No Comments
Panasonic's Toughbooks have legendary strength but I doubt any of us ever considered them tough enough to survive a white tiger or Asian elephant. I didn't. The last "durable notebook" I tested failed with a 4 foot drop. But the Panasonic Toughbook that Forbes tested took a .22 bullet and still booted after being used as a chew toy. Impressive.

Throw any hope you had for Dante’s Inferno right out the window
Posted on June 4, 2009 | No CommentsHeaven help you if you had any faith in Dante's Inferno, the video game being developed by Visceral Games, an EA studio. Not only will it be a typical hack-and-slash romp, à la God of War, but it also takes the source material, The Divine Comedy, and punches it in the face. I expected no less.

Sony Ericsson adds Yari and Aino to its multimedia line
Posted on May 28, 2009 | No CommentsLaunch details for the Satio was the 800-pound news gorilla out of Sony Ericsson today, but slotting in right underneath that set are another couple of phones that are still very much in the higher end of the range -- the Yari and Aino. The Yari slider (pictured left) is being billed as a gaming device, featuring gesture-controlled actions in the same vein as the Wii (and for the record, that's Sony Ericsson's comparison as much as it is ours). It features a 2.4-inch display, GPS, and support for the company's PlayNow services; it'll be available in the fourth quarter for about €400 ($558) unlocked. Next up, the Aino takes some cues from the Satio with a relatively large 3-inch touchscreen -- but also tosses in a numeric slider for good measure. It's got an 8.1 megapixel cam, Sony Remote Play support, GPS, HSPA, and a scratch-resistant mineral glass display; it'll be ready to rock in the same timeframe as the Yari in black and white, though we don't have pricing stats just yet -- needless to say, it'll be more than the Yari.
