Looks like the Android OS is gaining traction not only among notable hardware manufacturers, but those who walk on the clone side as well. Here we are with the Eston N97 Mobile Internet Device (MID) which was announced in November last year, where it comes with a trackball located right under the display, a pre-installed copy of the Android OS with the option to run Windows CE and Ubuntu as well, a 624MHZ Marvell PXA303...
We’ve brought your attention to the VirtuSphere some time ago, but that was before it was ready to be shown to the general public. Now you can actually check out the VirtuSphere as it was demoed at the GDC (Game Developers Conference). In case you’re wondering what all this is about, the VirtuSphere is a virtual reality control device, which allows the user inside it to control his game character by walking (literally) in the...
If you happen to own a BlackBerry Tour 9630 and are feeling a little bit more adventurous compared to other smartphone owners, why not give the OS 5.0.0.548 leak a go? After all, this is not an official release, so the chances of things running awry is much higher than that of Iraq carrying WMDs all those years back. Installation of this OS leak is done at your own peril, so make sure you always...
Toshiba looks like it’s doing its part to ensure that we all have little helper robots to serve us in the future. The company has come up with the prototype “Wheelie” robot, which is an indoor, autonomous, 2-wheeled robot. It looks a little like something a marriage between a Segway transporter and mini bar would produce, but as long as it’s cute, right? The aim of the robot is to help out with the daily...
If you happen to live at a place where snow is more common that a bright, sunny day, then chances are your shoes will suffer from the problem of being wet most of the time. While there are tons of ways to keep your shoes dry or help them achieve that status, the Universal Drying Apparatus offers much more, since it can not only dry shoes but other household items including clothing, accessories, umbrellas and...
Apple's pushing out a few more scraps of info about the iPad in conjunction with the launch of pre-orders. One of the quirkier details is that what was previously known as the mute switch on the iPad -- similar to the one on the iPhone -- is now known as the "screen rotation lock" on Apple's website. We suppose it makes more sense for this sort of device, both due to the "hold it any...
This is the lede, verbatim, from a story that appeared in The Hill yesterday: “The Internet allowed extremists to contact, recruit, train and equip the suspect responsible for the attempted Flight 253 bombing on Christmas Day ‘within weeks,’ a top Pentagon official told lawmakers Wednesday.” What’s the implication, that because someone used the Internet to plan something, something bad, we should get rid of it? Fine by me, believe me. You’ll recall that, last Christmas, some...

If you’re a Disney and Sony fan, this will probably have you drooling uncontrollably. Sony Japan has officially announced its new Sony Walkman S series (NW-S740/S740K/S640/S640K Series) that come emblazoned with Mickey and Minnie mouse characters at the back. There will be three versions available, Mickey only, Minnie only, and the couple together. There are also two accessories up for grabs, which are a case ($18), and a Mickey phone stand ($29). The devices mentioned...
We certainly don’t mind tech seeping into our everyday items, and the Audio Lounger concept certainly looks like one of those things we wouldn’t mind making room for. It sports four built-in high quality speakers and a (rather noticeable) large subwoofer, not to mention a touchscreen panel on the upper side of the seat to keep you in touch with your favorite music. This design by Matt Hardman also includes LED lights that offer ambient...
It may not be illegal to tuck your kids into bed via iChat while taking advantage of United's in-flight WiFi, but that didn't stop a flight attendant from ending John Battelle's (admittedly precious) use of the service during a flight two days ago. It seems that the airline has a policy that prohibits "two-way devices" from communicating with the ground -- you know, in case some terrorists board the plane and try some shenanigans. Apparently...
Need some 3G? Buy some 3G! Macrumors has some shots of the interface that will appear when you need to add data to your iPad data plan. You can either add 250MB for $14.99 or change to an unlimited plan for $26.99 a month. You can also cancel your plan right from the iPad, an fascinating concept. From Apple’s website: So if you have a business trip or vacation approaching, just sign up for the month...
