Dell’s 5-inch Android Streak MID on AT&T in 2010? 17 November 2009 at 1:16 am by admin

It’s not much to go on but after months of rumors and then the sudden appearance of Dell’s 5-inch MID on video , well, even unsubstantiated reports from the Commercial Times can be taken with a degree of truthiness. The latest tattle has QISDA manufacturing Dell’s Android 2.0-based MID (spotted with a 5 megapixel camera, 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, 3G data, and WiFi) with the intent of ramping up for an AT&T launch sometime in 2010.

+ Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXLI: PXP 2000 is not a PSP Go, but it gets a loving unboxing anyway By admin 15 November 2009 at 12:38 pm and have No Comments

You know how we love a good knockoff at Engadget. Well, the PXP 2000 isn’t the greatest KIRF we’ve ever seen — especially considering that it’s a “PSP Go” that plays NES games (and pretty badly at that)

+ RAmos W7 spotted blazing through Android By admin 15 November 2009 at 8:42 am and have No Comments

As much fun as it is seeing the RAmos W7 in the wild, all legit and everything, what’s more exciting is seeing that Android-specific 600MHz Rockchip CPU in action again. This time it appears to be handling some pretty snappy web browsing to some fairly hefty pages, and then diving into what looks to be Flash video in an externalized, overlain player of some kind.

+ Sony surveying PSP Go audience, wants color suggestions By admin 12 November 2009 at 7:14 am and have No Comments

Hey, remember when Nintendo was dissing the PSP Go for having a ” concept problem ” last month? We doubt Sony cared too much, but the concept is going to get a gentle massaging, judging by this here survey. An otherwise insipid market research form has revealed an eye-catching selection of PSP Go paintjobs, replete with tick-boxes for the discerning customer to make his opinion known

+ Wistron: Readius-like ereader with pull-out flexible display launching in 2010 By admin 12 November 2009 at 12:07 am and have No Comments

We’ve had a soft spot for Polymer Vision in the fetid hollows of that place you call a heart ever since we pressed flesh to its Readius back in February 2008 . Unfortunately, we had to let go of any hope for the bendy e-reader to ever hit the market after delays turned into bankruptcy turned into cries of noooo! the world over

+ Dual-screen enTourage eDGe ebook reader gets a little hands-on time By admin 10 November 2009 at 1:58 pm and have No Comments

We’re still reserving our doubts about the viability of the enTourage eDGe — after all, at $490 you can buy yourself a respectable netbook and a halfway decent ereader for the appropriate occasion — but we won’t say that we’re not interested. Just under a month after it hit the scene, the dual-screen device has landed (in prototype form) over at Gearlog , and while some of the features weren’t functional, the physical build shouldn’t change much when it goes final. At first glance, the whole thing just looks a bit dated, but then again, we’ve still got the ultra-fresh Nook on the brain.

+ Nokia N900 is now shipping! By admin 10 November 2009 at 3:26 am and have No Comments

Nokia’s Maemo -based future has begun: the N900 is shipping. According to Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the eagerly awaited handset is now en route to at least some pre-order customers. We’ll soon see if this new generation of Nokia smartphones will be enough to generate the type of mass-market / high-margin appeal that Nokia needs at the top end of its product portfolio or if it’s just a tentative first step on a potentially wobbly new platform.

+ Dulin’s Books rolls out PocketBook 360, 301+ ereaders in the US By admin 09 November 2009 at 12:56 pm and have No Comments

Upstart company you’ve never heard of suddenly selling not one but two ebook readers in the US? Yeah, these are rebadge jobs, but at least one of ‘em — the PocketBook 360 — is a slightly new variation on a theme. From the looks of it, this one is a new / different version of an ereader most recently seen under the Mentor brand, and packs a 5-inch Vizplex display, 512MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot for expansion, a Linux-based OS, your choice of black or white color options and, of course, support for a full range of ebook formats (including EPUB ).

+ Latest iControlPad prototype bulks up, gets handled on video By admin 08 November 2009 at 4:29 pm and have No Comments

It’s been a while since we last got an update from ZodTTD on his iControlPad iPhone controller accessory, but this latest prototype looks like it was worth the wait. The controls have been moved from the sides of the phone to a more comfortable-seeming bottom placement with dual analog sticks and rear-mounted triggers, and the whole thing’s gotten bigger and badder — there’s even an internal battery for charging your phone as you play
