While Aliph was announcing its luxurious Jawbone Icon Bluetooth headsets earlier today, we’ve been playing with one of its six designs — The Ace — at our cozy London pad. Being the smallest and lightest Jawbone ever, the Icon’s obviously challenging the likes of Jabra Stone with attempts to outperform in noise elimination, battery life, ergonomics and ease of operation.

+ Entelligence: ‘Don’t be evil’ isn’t the basis for a relationship By admin 15 January 2010 at 10:02 am and have No Comments

Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he’ll explore where our industry is and where it’s going — on both micro and macro levels — with the unique wit and insight only he can provide. After a weeks of speculation, leaks, confirmation and a sneak peek from my colleagues here at Engadget, Google finally told the story of the Nexus One .

+ First Else hands-on: ’still alive and kicking’ By admin 10 January 2010 at 8:27 pm and have No Comments

We caught up with Else at CES to check on how they’re doing with the First Else since we last saw them back in November. According to CTO Eldad Eilam, the basic functions of the ALP -based phone are finally done and dusted, so now Else will mainly focus on fine-tuning its snazzy visual effects until beta around the end of March. There’s no doubt that it’s also finalizing plans — pricing, content distribution, and remote sync service, etc.– with various partners in the US and Europe

+ HSTi Wireless Media Stick hands-on By admin 10 January 2010 at 3:30 am and have No Comments

You start off by plugging a stick into a PC, install the software (installer pre-loaded on the stick), and once connected to the wireless router you choose which folders to share (which is pretty easy, as we saw).
