    Time gives the iPad a second go

    Posted on June 10, 2010 | No Comments
    Steve Jobs gave us a little sneak peak at Time's upcoming iPad app during the iPhone 4 keynote. Here's a full video demo. It's the future -- and very ambitious one at that. Time definitely improved on the current iPad app. Too bad it's still $5 an "issue."

  • iPhone 4 first hands-on! (update: FaceTime video demo)

    iPhone 4 first hands-on! (update: FaceTime video demo)

    Posted on June 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Digg this! We've just gotten some face time (ha ha!) with the new iPhone 4, and let's just say this: it's incredibly sexy. We'll hand it to Apple, the phone is so thin it's kind of mind-boggling. The 3GS by comparison looks bloated. Feast your eyes on the pics below, and check out the FaceTime video demo after the break! Oh, and special thanks to hand models Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg.

    Some takeaways about the device:
    • As we said, it's shockingly thin.
    • The screen is truly outrageous -- you basically cannot see pixels on it. We're not being hyperbolic when we say it's easily the best looking mobile phone screen we've ever laid eyes on.
    • The build quality is really solid. The home button feels much snappier, and on the whole it just feels like a tightly-packed device, but it's not heavy.
    • The side buttons are really nice and clicky.
    • iOS 4 is very familiar -- there's not a lot added to fit and finish.
    • The general speed of the whole OS is way snappier. The camera app in particular is noticeably faster -- shots get snapped in an instant.
    Update: More pics! We've also thrown in a video demo of the iPhone 4 running its FaceTime video chat app. Check it out at the usual location.

    HomePipe streams your iTunes to Android, other files too

    HomePipe streams your iTunes to Android, other files tooNeed another way to get your tunes (whether they be i-prefixed or not) onto your Android celly? HomePipe is the latest, a service offering easy access to files on your home computer via your cellphone. It's been available for Apple devices for some time now, but a recently added Android app extends the reach of its plumbing system. That mobile app works in conjunction with a desktop version acting as a server, pushing photos, documents, and lots of types of media -- including iTunes. HomePipe claims this makes it the "first to ever stream home iTunes music to Google's Android," but having played with Michael Robertson's MP3tunes service, which uploads your music library to the cloud and allows access from Android handsets, we're happy to assure the service that it is at least the second. Still, it sounds mighty handy, and for the bargain price of free it's definitely worth a shot. Video demo and full press release is just below.

  • Nokia N8’s USB On-The-Go support demoed, lesser phones turned into slaves

    Nokia N8’s USB On-The-Go support demoed, lesser phones turned into slaves

    Posted on May 30, 2010 | No Comments
    Among the Nokia N8's neater tricks is its support for USB On-The-Go, which basically lets you connect USB peripherals (flash drives, for example) to the phone and have it act as a host -- a duty usually reserved for heavier-duty devices like PCs. Though the N8 is still a solid month or three away from release, we're getting a nice little video demo on YouTube today of an N8 being walked through the paces of connecting both a plain-vanilla USB drive and another Symbian-based Nokia candybar (brownie points for naming the model in comments, by the way). Basically, you can treat the connected hardware as mass storage and browse it just as you would the N8's internal space, which basically means you've got unlimited music capacity as long as you've got a pocket full of USB sticks and a micro USB-to-USB adapter cord. Follow the break for video.

    [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

    Here’s a waterproof flashlight/video camera

    Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
    I'm not sure if this device is really a waterproof flashlight with a video camera or a video camera with a bright light. Either way, it records video at VGA quality on a 4GB internal drive and sports a 1W LED flashlight. There's a USB port, rechargeable battery, and everything else that's supposed to be in a camera. But then it's shaped like a flashlight so I'm still not sure. All I know is with a price tag of $192.99, I really don't care. Click through for a video demo.

    ScanBizCards: use your iPhone 3GS to organize your collection of business cards

    Posted on May 12, 2010 | No Comments
    Business cards are an anachronism. We all have them, we all pass them out to people we meet, but how many of you actually own a rolodex, or file the business cards you receive in any meaningful way? For the people you actually care to connect with -- as opposed to the people from whom you dutifully accept a proffered business card with no intention of ever contacting -- you might manually transcribe the card's details into your phone or contact management software. Personally, I wish business cards would die a fiery death so we could all move on to something a little more modern. Until that happens, or you become a master of business card throwing, you might want to check out the ScanBizCards application for your iPhone.

  • iPhone 3G gets an Android port to call its own (video)

    iPhone 3G gets an Android port to call its own (video)

    Posted on May 7, 2010 | No Comments
    You'll recall, studious little gremlins that you are, that we recently saw the venerable first-gen iPhone prancing about with an unusual little green droid providing it with operational commands. Well, the coder behind that project, David Wang, has now stepped his game up to the iPhone 3G, which has been outfitted with an almost complete implementation of Android. Audio support is the last missing piece of the puzzle, but the groundwork has been laid and it too should be ready for some unholy Apple plus Google action within the next few days. Downloadable binaries are currently being prepared, so we thought we'd help you fill the time with a video demo of the port, which may be found just past the break.

    [Thanks, Andrew]

  • Keepin’ it real fake: HTC HD, too

    Keepin’ it real fake: HTC HD, too

    Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
    If you're going to rip off one of the more memorable Windows Mobile devices ever made, you'd think you'd want to at least clone its most notable feature -- but seriously, what do we know about the KIRF business? Yeah, well, this little number manufactured by a firm doing business as "iHTC" (no relation to HTC, we're sure) looks an awful lot like the HD2, but lacks that all-important 4.3-inch display, instead trading down for a more pedestrian 3.6-inch unit. On the upside, it's still WVGA and packs the latest and greatest Windows Mobile 6.5.3 (if "latest and greatest" really applies there) plus a 5 megapixel autofocus cam -- not bad specs for a device that eats copyrights for breakfast. Seems you can hunt one of these puppies down for about 1,580 yuan ($231), so start saving and packing for your Chinese adventure -- and in the meantime, follow the break for a comprehensive video demo of the finest technology iHTC has to offer.

    Video demo: IE9 with NVIDIA Ion hardware acceleration

    We'll soon live in an age when netbooks have both CPUs and GPUs and it will be grand. Unicorns and rainbows will dance off of our screens in harmony -- and Internet Explorer might become relevant again. The video after the jump shows what IE9 is capable of when a next-generation Nvidia Ion GPU is paired with an Intel Atom CPU verses a standard netbook with an Atom all by itself. The differences are obvious and makes a solid case for Internet Explorer. But most of us will probably visit the International Space Station before setting IE as our default browser even if it renders graphics faster.
