Serkan Toto — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 08:20:23 +0000

Toshiba in Japan announced [JP] a new Qosmio laptop today, the Dynabook Qosmio V65. The main selling point of the device (of all Qosmios, in fact) is the "multi-media" capability: Toshiba promises that the laptop produces high-quality images, thanks to the SpursEngine coprocessor (that Toshiba has been using in its CELL TV and Qosmio laptops since 2008), LED backlight, and the 15.6-inch "Clear SuperView LED" HD TFT screen with 1,366×768 resolution.

Matt Burns — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:00:03 +0000

Either you lead or follow and Chinese manufacturing houses have been chasing Apple's designs for years. The iPad is just their latest victim. You can't blame them, really. It's the hottest device since the rotary phone. We've seen a steady stream of clones flowing onto the web for months. Here's the seven best starting with the just-found iPed.

Inkia’s iPad clone, inPad, gets spec’d out

Matt Burns — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:00:21 +0000

The Inkia inPad is a shameless iPad clone right down to the bezel and name. We first spotted the clone a few weeks back but hardware details didn't accompany the pictures. Basically, a Chinese manufacturer got our attention by photocoping the iPad and installed Android. But we've kind of lost interest now that we know what's on the inside.

Donald Melanson — Wed, 12 May 2010 00:34:00 +0000

A true iPhone KIRF running Windows XP may still be the stuff of dreams -- crazy, fevered dreams -- but it looks like we now have the next best thing: the iPhone-ish Shanshui P72.

T-Mobile’s new charger line is surprisingly interesting: fast, extra port, integrated cord management

Chris Ziegler — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:35:00 +0000

We know what you're thinking: what could possibly be cool about a simple micro-USB charger? Well, lots of things, turns out -- and T-Mobile's latest three-pack of aftermarket chargers might just be worth the cost of admission over the standard wall wart your phone's manufacturer tossed in the box. There are three models available -- a wall charger, car charger, and 2-in-1 model that'll do both -- and all of them promise to charge your handset 20 to 50 percent faster than a standard model. What's cooler, though, is that they all feature extra USB ports in addition to the built-in micro-USB cord, allowing you to plug in and charge a second device of your choice, and the cord's never going to get too messed up thanks to an integrated spool that lets you keep everything wound up when it's not in use. If you're feeling green, take heart -- both the wall and 2-in-1 models have the best possible Energy Star rating. They're available now for between $30 and $40 online and in "select" stores, with a nationwide roll-out following on July 19. Follow the break for T-Mobile's press release.

But there are a bunch more portables either currently available or coming out real soon that could [...]

Review: enTourage eDGe dualbook

Scott Merrill — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:00:18 +0000

To say that the enTourage eDGe dualbook is "just an e-reader with a bolted-on netbook" (or vice versa) is to pretty dramatically miss the entire point of this thing. The eDGe exists in a category all by itself, because it does an awful lot more than just an e-reader or just a netbook. As a unique product, there are a couple of unfortunate shortcomings, but on the whole the dualbook represents an exciting glimpse at new ways to access and use technology and content. Devin pooh-poohed the eDGe recently, but I'm pretty excited about it.

The HP Slate has been showing up in all sorts of places since it's CES 2010 debut. But we really never knew much about it. We didn't know what CPU or GPU it was running, along with if it had 3G, GPS, webcams. But a Spanish site seemingly has all the answers and we like what we hear.

The Sony VAIO M N450 proves Sony finally understands netbooks

Matt Burns — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:00:05 +0000

Sony's first attempts at a netbook were disastrously bad, but Sony has seemingly gotten its act together. The Sony VAIO M N450 is a true netbook. Too bad it's now 2010 and no one cares about netbooks anymore.

Review: Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station

John Biggs — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:22:50 +0000

Short Version: We now have so much storage in our homes that we could probably, each of us, start our own Rapidshare service. But how do we get all that data to the other machines on our network or, better yet, out onto the Internet? Devices like the Iomega iConnect allow us to place storage [...]
