  • Droid X vs. iPhone 4… hang out!

    Droid X vs. iPhone 4… hang out!

    So, these aren't exactly the most similar phones ever. The Droid X has Android, a high res 4.3-inch screen, Verizon, and a hump in back. The iPhone 4 has iOS, a higher res 3.5-inch screen, and some of the slimmest smartphone dimensions ever. Sure, they're both flagship handsets for their respective teams, but we'd really rather live in a world where Droid X and iPhone 4 hang out after work for drinks than one where they stab each other in their silicon hearts. Sure, there'd be a bit of banter, but isn't there always between friends?

  • MeeGo 1.0 for netbooks and N900 now available to download

    MeeGo 1.0 for netbooks and N900 now available to download

    You've seen it teased, and now it's time to shelve whatever you had planned for this evening (or morning, depending on your current coordinates) and slap the first bona fide 1.x MeeGo release onto whatever device you've got handy. As of right now, MeeGo v1.0 for Netbooks and v1.0 for Nokia N900 are available for download, with the former supporting Atom-based machines and the latter supporting... well, we'll let you take a stab there. The API that's being released includes Qt 4.6, and while the current SDK is tailored for netbooks, the next version -- slated to hit devs in June -- will support "touch-based devices, such as handsets and tablets." We're also told that v1.1 will be outed in October, with the development tree already being open. We're certainly digging the layout shown here at a glance, but why not give that source link a visit and find out how it suits you in real life? We heard Snooki totally digs it, too.

    [Thanks, Ernst]

  • Careful, this TF2 Spy action figure might stab you in the back

    Careful, this TF2 Spy action figure might stab you in the back

    This is just sweet. There's no other word for it. Ignore the comical knees and slightly more bulky build, that's the TF2 Spy. He has everything from the smirky grin to his cigerate to his various masks. It's classic.

    webOS 1.4 update coming on Thursday?

    Back at CES in January, Palm announced that webOS 1.4 and all of its video recording talents would be hitting Pres and Pixis around the world starting in “February”. Flash forward a few weeks, when a supposed snapshot of an internal Sprint scheduling sheet indicated that it would all start rolling out on February 15th. February [...]

  • Motorola to show “whats next” at CES

    Motorola to show “whats next” at CES

    The rumor mill has been cranking way too hard over Motorola as of late for us to feel confident in taking a stab at what they may launch, but Motorola has just more or less confirmed that they'll be launching something at CES. Got any guesses as to what it is? Drop it in the comments. We'll come back on January 7th, run through all of them, and pick someone at random from those who got it right and send them a box of fun stuff we've got laying around the office.

    Qik to come preloaded on the Samsung Omnia II

    We like to keep an eye on the adoption of mobile video broadcasting applications around these parts. It’s a mighty competitive space, with Qik, Kyte, Flixwagon, UStream and a number of others all taking a stab at what is essentially the same idea. While the idea as a whole has yet to really take off [...]

    And the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott, how’s that going?

    It turned out that a lot of those so-called Modern Warfare 2 protesters were talking jive, as they played the game late into the night, alone with their hypocrisy. (It's overdramatic Tuesday, by the way.) How did the Left 4 Dead II protesters do?

    Advice: If your Internet connection drops out while playing an online game, don’t stab a random person

    Oh, dear. We've all been there: you're playing your favorite game online, and then WHAM-O~! you lose your Internet connection. The usual course of action is to mutter “Gosh darn it” to your self, then go about your business. An unusual course of action is to grab a knife, then stab a random person walking in the street. Apparently that has happened, yes.

    Hey look! Moto CLIQ box art! And new details!

    Few things get a phone geek’s blood boiling like leaked box art for an upcoming handset. It’s like a strip tease where the dancer starts out wrapped in 10 layers of clothes, and you’re primarily interested in looking at the stitching of the fabric. Leakdroid has managed to unearth the box for Motorola’s first stab at [...]

    FYI: The iriver Story e-book reader is available for pre-order now (in Asia)

    Do you remember the iriver Story, the company's first stab at an e-book reader? Of course you don't, especially since it's still only slated for release in Asia. Be that as it may, it's now available for pre-order for a hot $281, or thereabouts, fiat currencies being what they are.

    Rumor: Nvidia Tegra phones in Q409? [Updated]

    We’ve been excited about Nvidia’s Tegra chipset making its way to mobile handsets for as long as they’ve been showing off their prototypes - which, to be clear, is quite a while. They’ve managed to jam a beast of a computer down into a itty-bitty chip and sink the power requirements down to less than [...]

    So what do you think of your new iPhone 3G S?

    The sun cracked over the horizon, and off we went. Like any good Apple fan boys bloggers, we camped out (in multiple places around the country, even) to pick up our iPhone 3G S. We'll have our final, non-rushed review up sometime in the next few days - in the mean while, it's time for you to voice up. We've got our opinions, forged from the steels of writing about and playing with too many cell phones cell phones. We want to hear what you think, dear iPhone owner. Whether that new iPhone 3G S is your first stab at this whole Apple-made cell phone nonsense or you've been rockin' the fruitphone since the EDGE-only days of yester-yesteryear, we want your insight.

    The ‘anti-stab’ knife that works just fine in the kitchen but can’t kill a man

    The average American probably doesn't know this, but there's a huge problem with knife-crime in the UK. (That's what happens when guns are so hard to get a hold of, knives everywhere.) Sports stars try to tell people to knocks it off; so does the prime minister but no one cares what he says anymore. Which brings us to today's news: the very first “anti-stab” knife. That is, a knife that'll do the job in the kitchen, but can't really be used to stab someone.
