  • Meizu M9 getting Android 2.1, possible August release?

    Meizu M9 getting Android 2.1, possible August release?

    Well, what do you know -- perhaps there is an M9 in your future (or someone's future) after all! After hearing the one and only Jack Wong detail the thing earlier this year, Beareyes.com is reporting that the device -- with the same 3.6-inch display, 1 GHz (Samsung S5PC110) CPU, HDMI 1.3 out and more -- may be out as early as this August. We think this is certainly do-able, although anything can happen -- as the drawn-out gestation of a certain Meizu M8 made painfully clear. The new news? Rather than KIRFin' up an Apple-esque interface, it looks like Android 2.1 might just be on tap. Sweet, eh? Look for it August 18, for around $350 depending on options... but don't be surprised if you're still looking long past the target date.

  • Video: iPhone + Android + Windows Mobile = Beautiful Music

    Video: iPhone + Android + Windows Mobile = Beautiful Music

    Take one iPhone, one Android handset, and one Windows Mobile handset. Strap'em to a piece of wood, run a bunch of cable to a speaker. Code up a custom instrument jamming interface for each platform. What do you get? The littlest one-man-band in all the lands. Something about this video makes me feel kind of dirty. Anyone else?

    Videos: WePad’s interface moves oh so smoothly

    This is the final version of the WePad, and it's currently earmarked for a July release. We'll see, of course. Anyhow, the device was shown off to the press in Germany earlier today, and several videos demonstrating the interface are now online for our viewing pleasure.

    Meet ISAMARO, Japan’s newest humanoid

    Japan must have a solid number of customers willing to pay a ton of money for home-use robots, because otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them actually available for end users like you and me. Take ISAMARO [JP], for example, a new humanoid that hasn't been build for demo purposes, research etc. but for people who actually want to use him.

  • Review: SugarSync for the iPad

    Review: SugarSync for the iPad

    I've been wondering how, exactly, I'll be able to do work on my iPad. With the assistance of programs like Dropbox and SugarSync, it is possible to cobble together a workflow that doesn't drive me crazy. When I last looked at SugarSync the service was in it's infancy and I found it slightly lacking. All of my concerns, two years ago, have been address and now you have a fully versioned storage system that you can use to feasibly upload a plethora of files including, but not limited to, MP3s, videos, and documents. Audio and video files, for the most part, played natively on the iPad. However, if you need to transfer odd formats or edit Office or iWork documents (you can view them just fine) you'll need to email the files to yourself and them open them in Pages. This two step process, while upsetting to those afraid of more than one step, is frustrating at worst and a non-issue at best.
