Exclusive Video: Hands-on With Swype For Android
Posted on December 15, 2009 | No Comments
I've been pretty pumped about Swype's ultra-speedy alternative typing solution for touchscreen devices ever since it first debuted at TechCrunch50 2008. My excitement only grew when it finally made its way to a handset, the Omnia II, just last month - but as I'm not the biggest fan of the OS that powers that device, my thumbs were left twiddling until an Android port was released.
Earlier this morning, I got my hands-on a pre-release copy of just that: Swype for Android. So how is it? In a word: Great. If you want more than that, you'll have to dive behind the jump for a hands-on impressions and video.

Review: Viliv S7 Premium
Posted on December 15, 2009 | No CommentsTrue story: About two months back I was walking through my house with the then-new Viliv S7 convertible netbook. I started babbling to my wife while she was tending to the kids about how much I loved this little netbook. Even though she clearly couldn’t care less, I went on to proclaim that if Apple would have gotten in [...] -

Nokia E72 in stores now, somewhere
Posted on November 16, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, Nokia, Symbian, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS, HSUPA
Amazon's US pre-order site hasn't heard the news yet nor has Nokia USA's on-line store. Nevertheless, Nokia assures us that the E72 is "in stores now" and should cost €350 (as announced) before taxes and carrier subsidies are applied. Remember, this S60-powered followup to the much loved E71 sports a new 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5-mm headphone jack, microSD slot (4GB included in the box), A-GPS and integrated compass, 10.2Mbps HSDPA, and new optical navigation pad right where a thumb would like it. The E72 also packs the latest version of Ovi Maps and Nokia Messaging with homescreen access to your IM accounts. Now scram buster and let us know if your pre-orders have been filled -- this baby's not going to unbox itself.

A week with the Viliv S7
Posted on September 21, 2009 | No Comments
So I have been using the Viliv S7 regularly for about a week now and I have concluded that it is the best netbook I have ever used. But yes, it's a netbook. The S7 might have a touchscreen, convertible design, super long battery life, and a modest size SSD, but at the end of the day, it's a luxury netbook.

Video: HTC Click previewed – Runs Donut, lacks Sense
Posted on August 21, 2009 | No Comments
I do believe this is a first: not only has someone at Vietnamese mobile site Tinh Té managed to get their hands on an HTC Click before it's even official, but it looks like they've had it for long enough to laser etch a bunch of crazy crap onto the back. Fortunately for us, they're not just sitting around basking in the exclusive warmth of their unreleased phone. Instead, they were nice enough to give the Click a 5-minute video rundown.

Old-timey grenade-shaped Atari controller brings us back
Posted on August 14, 2009 | No Comments
If the action couldn't happen on screen then it surely could happen off screen. This odd, made-in-Denmark controller was called the Terminator and was shaped like a very realistic grenade - complete with pin.
I remember the old style "stick" controllers with the triangular head so I guess this is similar. You'd hold this in your hand and move the top with your thumb. Sadly you'd also probably look like you were ready to blow up the computer lab, a sad side effect of these frightened times.
