RetroCrunch: The Bloc-Alarm door stop
Posted on January 22, 2010 | No Comments
Going to try something a bit different today, and talk about some retro technology. Here's a rather simple gadget called a Bloc-Alarm. Intended for the cheapskate who doesn't want to actually pay for an alarm service, or for someone that is staying in a hotel, the Bloc-Alarm is basically a wedge shaped door block that triggers if someone tries to open a door.

Posted on January 12, 2010 | No Comments
If you're an old-school gamer, the Sega Genesis (known as Sega Mega Drive outside North America) sure does have a special place in your heart. And if your current job requires you to give away business cards from time to time, this new business card holder that's shaped like Sega's legendary 16-bit console might be the right thing for you.

The App Store Forgets It’s Not The Android Market, Temporarily Sells NES Emulator
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No CommentsAs stringent (and arguably overzealous) as Apple’s App review policy is, things still slip through the cracks from time to time. I mean, who can forget the infamous baby shaking simulator slip-up? The latest bit of contraband to hit the App Store isn’t nearly as offensive – that is, unless you’re Nintendo. Earlier today, an application [...] -

Motorola’s shiny XT800 shows off its Android
Posted on December 15, 2009 | No CommentsCould this end up being the prettiest Android device to date? We don't want to call it before we have it in our own two hands, but China Telecom's likely entrant from Motorola -- the XT800 -- is looking better than ever in these live action shots unearthed by Chinese site tgbus. What's interesting here is that Moto's reusing the font first seen on the Droid's dock standby screen for a new home screen date / time widget, but the old-school Power Control widget below it has us believing that we're looking at an older Android 2.0 build (or heck, who knows, 1.5 or 1.6). It'll apparently have a 3.7-inch WVGA display with 720p playback and, as we've mentioned before, an HDMI-out for some serious multimedia street cred. It's still unclear whether this is being thrown around internally as the Titanium, Zeppelin, or something else entirely, but whatever -- Verizon, Sprint, bring it on over, alright?

Worlds Collide: iMo digital photo frame features built-in printer
Posted on November 19, 2009 | No Comments
If you thought that the whole point of the common digital photo frame was to make old-school photos a thing of the past, it looks like you were wrong. I was wrong too, so let's take comfort together in our wrongness. If the folks at iMo have their way, we’ll look at a digital photo on their digital frame and say to ourselves “I want that photo on some sort of card stock and I'll stop at nothing to get it!”

Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXL: HTC Hero gets iPhone flair
Posted on November 9, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, Others, GSM
It's just like the old riddle: what looks like a Hero, thinks it's an iPhone, and does double-duty as an old-school FM handheld? Why, it's the TVG3 -- and when combined with some prototypical shanzhai flair, its (con)fusion of attributes from all over the cellphone space make this one a stunning exemplar of KIRFness. Behold! 3.2-inch touchscreen, G-sensor (aka gyroscope), dual sims, Bluetooth, WiFi, built-in TV tuner, HTC looks and an almost-iPhone UI: not bad for $130, eh? In case you won't be in Shenzhen any time soon, you can get a closer look after the break.

Canceled Motorola RAZR3 reemerges as KLASSIC in South Korea
Posted on November 5, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, Motorola, CDMA
When the bulk of your business suddenly shifts virtually all of its marketing and engineering resources to Android, certain thinks are bound to fall through the cracks -- take the "Ruby," for example, once said to be the fallen would-be successor to the RAZR 2. We guess Moto got far enough along on engineering with this one that they figured they'd toss it over to one of its lower-volume markets rather than canning it altogether, though, because the higher-end flip has reemerged in South Korea as the KLASSIC. For anyone who keeps track of these sorts of stats, that's exactly three more letters than the typical Moto model name has, but the phone breaks all sorts of rules -- after all, it combines an old-school 2G radio (which in operator SKT's case, means CDMA) with a relatively fresh 5 megapixel cam, not unlike the ZN5. There's no word on a release outside South Korea at this point, but frankly, we're pretty sure the DROID would eat it anyhow.

Photo frame looks like a Mac window
Posted on October 27, 2009 | No Comments
Perhaps you find yourself in the overlapping section of a Venn diagram consisting of a circle called “People who like Macs,” a circle called “People who hate digital photo frames but are okay with computer-themed standard photo frames,” and a circle called “People who have at least $25.” Sound about right? Then here’s the $25 image.jpg Photo Frame from ThinkGeek.

Will Project Natal be anything more than a glorified tech demo? Here’s hoping!
Posted on October 9, 2009 | No CommentsMaybe I'm speaking for the minority here, but I have to get this off my chest: Project Natal is sorta “meh,” no? I attended Popular Mechanics' Breakthrough Awards for a few minutes last night, and they had on display Project Natal. It was that paint-throwing game. Now, I know that's just a tech demo, but I left feeling a little concerned about its future.

R2D2 features 8 consoles, projector
Posted on September 23, 2009 | No Comments
And here we see one of the most useful implementations of an astromech droid to date. Modder Brian De Vitis gutted a novelty R2D2 beverage cooler and somehow managed to stuff eight old-school consoles inside. And – AND! – there’s a built-in projector. Very nice.
