    Sony Ericsson’s Aspen revealed, brings WinMo 6.5.3 with it

    Posted on February 2, 2010 | No Comments
    Today’s looking to be a pretty big day for both Sony Ericsson and Microsoft: with the official announcement of SE’s new Aspen handset, both companies are ready to show off what they should have done in the first place. Sony Ericsson has never had much luck with their portrait-QWERTY portfolio, with their last attempt being the [...]

    Steve Jobs wants to know: Are you with Cocoa?

    We're all with Coco here (and so is my Zune HD), so this shirt (and poster) instantly gets awesome points. Are you with Cocoa? (Note: If you're not with Cocoa, then you might want to stay off the Internet tomorrow...)

    Bill Gates busts a move at Sundance

    GuestofaGuest found some pix of Bill Gates rocking out at Robert Redford’s party at Sundance. Curious as to what he was dancing to, we ran “ENHANCE” in Windows 7 and were able to pull the audio by sensing the vibrations in each person’s hair as well as a reflection of someone’s Zune in the blond [...]

You should still be able to access and use your locally stored content though. Microsoft promises that everything thing will be fine, [...]

We’ve heard some rumors about potential improvements over the current 6.x codebase, but a developer has told us that this new [...]

    HTC Smart revealed, runs dumbphone OS

    Posted on January 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Remember the HTC Touch.B, the slick Touch2 lookalike that surfaced last month? The one running that nifty, minimalist interface over Qualcomm’s BREW operating system? Well, it looks like it’s finally ready for primetime with a brand-new (if not the most accurate) moniker. The HTC Smart is gunning for the budget-minded phone nerd, and for a lower-end [...]

    Twitter App for the Zune HD: It works, but it’s buggy and censors tweets (not any more)

    Posted on December 17, 2009 | No Comments
    Update: The app no longer censors tweets. Good, because that was the most ridiculous thing ever. Oh now this is exciting. Microsoft released a Twitter application for the Zune HD a few moments ago, and I’ve been tasked with testing it out for your edification. Spoiler: it works, it’s buggy, and I can’t see the sense [...]

    Your iPhone or Zune HD has nothing on this. It's the Ring Wall, the world's largest touchscreen interface. It was designed by Sensory Minds, and it's sitting real pretty in Nuremberg, Germany.

    The Zune HD has been kick'n it for a few months on retail shelves. But if you're planning on buying one sometime soon and purple and magenta are your colors, you might want to wait until December 1st. On that day the portable will be available in those lovely colors in addition to the five that are already available. Of course you can customize your Zune HD even more with the signature Zune Original Artwork and through the holiday's, free engraving.

    Here’s a weird one for you: A few hours ago, Motorola DROID users began reporting that the cameras on their handsets were suddenly.. better. The camera’s ability to auto-focus, which I’d railed in our review of the product, seemed to drastically improve overnight. And it did! Most assumed that Verizon and Motorola had managed to sneak [...]

    Kicker to make the ZK500 Zune HD compatible

    Posted on November 12, 2009 | No Comments
    One of the only downsides to owning a Zune HD instead of an iPod is the lack of speaker docks. There simply isn't that many available and the ones for the previous Zune's aren't compatible. But Kicker knows what's up and just released firmware to make its $249 ZK500 Zune HD friendly. But there is fine print involved and you can't update the system yourself.
