    Hands-on with Lenovo’s cavalcade of laptops and PCs

    Posted on May 10, 2010 | No Comments
    Lenovo’s new line-up is heavy on the all-in-ones but has a few surprises up its sleeve. I got a chance to look at most of the new line last week and came away extremely enthused by the twee Q150. From the press release: If your idea of fun is tricking out your living room entertainment center, [...]

    Peek has some “big stuff” in the works even though it’s short on cash

    Posted on March 25, 2010 | No Comments
    "Big stuff that will blow away folks. Not just an awesome “Peek for Life” promo. But really, truly big stuff. So stay tuned for Project Big Stuff." That's a direct quote from Peek's official blog after stating flat out the company is short on cash even though they make a decent amount of revenue. Of course Peek could probably raise a bit more if absoulity necessary, but we're curious what the company that brought us the email-only, and more recently Twitter-only, device is working on.

    First Look: Nintendo DSi XL

    Posted on March 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Just got another care package from Nintendo, and it’s a big one — literally. Nintendo sent us one of its new DSi XL units, and color me impressed. The screens look great, and games look like they should have been on a screen this size in the first place. I don’t even need my reading [...]

    The Sony VAIO M N450 proves Sony finally understands netbooks

    Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
    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.

    Acer gets into the Android game

    Posted on February 15, 2010 | No Comments
    Even as Windows Mobile 7 is set to wow us, more and more manufacturers are heading towards Android. Case in point: the Acer Liquid e. This 786MHz Snapdrago device is as bog standard as they come with GPS, WiFi, and HSDAP support. It also runs Android 2.1 and should be nice and fast. It has a 3.5-inch display and looks like a Zune mated with an N1.

  • BlackBerry services down in North America yet again?

    BlackBerry services down in North America yet again?

    Posted on December 22, 2009 | No Comments
    1Look, BlackBerrys are always supposed to do a few things well: 1) grab your email in real time off an Exchange server; 2) make you look important; and 3) work. It seems, though, that we're working on our third major North American outage here in less than a month, with reports flowing in that users connected to BIS are having trouble with Messenger, web browsing, and apps that consume data (though email is inexplicably unaffected). Anyone out there seeing problems?

    [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

  • Is Sprint letting the police follow us around?

    Is Sprint letting the police follow us around?

    Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
    There's a bit of a tizzy this week about Sprint allowing police officials to read up to 8 million "pings" on its network in order to track felons. Sprint made it considerably easier for police to do this by adding a special "portal," probably a phone number-based dump of GPS data for phones over time, to the service they offer upon receiving a court order or a subpoena. I wonder, however, if this 8 million number isn't far too high to be within the realm of sanity and/or if this number should make us

    Review: BlackBerry Bold 9700

    Posted on November 9, 2009 | No Comments
    The Short Version: I’ve always preferred functionality over looks in my gear. But the Bold 9700 puts a sleek outer cover on a powerful processor. T-Mobile’s first 3G BlackBerry is manufactured by Research In Motion. Perhaps you were expecting something more a bit more post-worthy? RIM’s newest release brings us BlackBerry OS v5. It has all [...]

    The iPhone 3G may, at least for some users, have an additional, undocumented feature: It can be used to toast bread. Reports are coming in that the new, million-selling iPhone is suffering from overheating issues. The handsets are getting so warm, in fact, that the plastic cases of the white models are discoloring to pink. The [...]

  • With Flash Now Supported On Android, When Will Apple Play Catch-Up?

    With Flash Now Supported On Android, When Will Apple Play Catch-Up?

    Posted on June 24, 2009 | No Comments
    So we just got word that HTC will be the first manufacturer to bring Adobe Flash to the Android platform with the release of its new Hero / Sense device. If you needed more proof that Android is here to stay and will not sit on the sidelines in the mobile operating systems game, this is it. If you think about it, the iPhone is now the only platform with substantial weight on the market that doesn't boast support for Flash. With the new Flash Player 10 just around the corner and HTC officially joining the Open Screen Project, Android, Symbian OS, Windows Mobile, and Palm WebOS will be among the first platforms to support full web browsing and access to virtually all Flash-based Web content.
