    What’s next for some of the biggest gadgets of 2009?

    Posted on October 31, 2009 | No Comments
    It's time to put on the Swami hat and predict just what we have in store for 2010 and beyond. Considering all of the movement in the gadget world in the past few months, I'm fairly sure most of this going to be accurate. Given the current status of some of these technologies, it's hard to prognosticate very far out but there are a few things that have become apparent over the past year, especially the rise of Android and our expectations for the iPad. Without further ado... the envelope please: Apple TV -> 27-inch iMac -> Wall Mount for 27-inch iMac It's sad but true: Apple doesn't care about Apple TV. All the real brain power is going to the desktop and laptop and probably onto the iPad. They've made it clear with the 27-inch iMac that they can make a high-resolution screen and powerful computer inside of a case the thickness of a college textbook. Who needs a TV, let alone an Apple TV? The obvious conclusion here is that the 27-inch iMac becomes a real Apple TV. The Mac Mini already makes a great multi-media system and a quick update to FrontRow, now considered abandonware, may make it a great 10-foot interface.

  • Acer Liquid slips through human fingers, but not before divulging new specs (updated)

    Acer Liquid slips through human fingers, but not before divulging new specs (updated)

    Posted on October 16, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , ,

    Generic form factor? Check. Default Android skin? Check. Sure, that's nothing exciting, but the real draw of Acer Liquid's gonna be its large, 800 x 480 resolution screen (the exact size of which we still don't know) and its 1GHz Snapdragon chipset. Unfortunately for the guys at Pocket-Lint, they didn't get to play with the Donut-powered handset long enough to really push those two selling points, but on the bright side they did discover a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and some ISO adjustment options, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and what appears to be a 3.5mm headphone jack. Perhaps more importantly, they nabbed some pictures of the thing powered on and in action. Jealous? Yes, yes we are.

    Update: We finally have the first images (above) showing Acer's customized Android UI and social networking integration (after the break) courtesy of HDBlog.it. It not quite the full-blown replacement a la HTC Sense, but they've clearly brought a new bag of tricks in an attempt to make the vanilla OS experience Acer-unique.

    [Thanks, Josh]

    504x_vaiowbrown_01 When Sony launched the VAIO P, the company kept insisting it wasn't a netbook. Perhaps this is why: Sony has a netbook coming next month. An honest netbook, too, with an Atom CPU, Windows XP, and a maxed-out 160GB hard drive. Curiously, Sony appears to have been able to sidestep the "no screen resolution over 1024x600 when using an N-series Atom CPU" rule by offering a nice 1366x768 widescreen display.
