Elecom keeps things simple with U2H-TC410B wall socket USB hub
While there’s a place for USB hubs that double as a mousepad and calculator, it’s sometimes best to just keep things simple, which is what Elecom has thankfully done with its new U2H-TC410B “wall socket” USB hub. Contrary to what that name might suggest, however, this one doesn’t actually plug into a power outlet, but […]
VholdR ContourHD wearable HD camcorder hands-on and impressions
We’ve been toying with a VholdR ContourHD helmet cam for a few weeks now, seeing how well it blends in with our adrenaline-fueled lifestyle. We’ve mounted it on various helmets, tried it with some moderately extreme endeavors, and, now that we’ve had a chance to refill our asthma inhalers, we thought we’d share a few […]
Sony placing PS3 slim manufacturing orders for delivery in July?
We haven’t heard much about the PS3 slim since E3, but that doesn’t mean it’s been entirely quiet out there — the hot rumor today is that Sony’s signed manufacturing agreements with both Foxconn and Pegatron to build the revised model in time for July delivery. That much we believe, since it’s been backed up […]
ASUS rolls out RT-N16 wireless router
It’s not a dual-band router, but it looks like ASUS has just about all the other bases covered with its new RT-N16 model. Apparently “engineered for the future” (too bad, present), this one naturally packs full 802.11n capabilities, along with a “powerful CPU” and 128MB of memory to help it eek out every last bit […]
Sony patents new Cell-based PS2 emulator
At first glance, we thought this all sounded a little too familiar: as you know, some PS3s had software-based PS2 emulation way back in 2007. So it was a little bit of a surprise when Siliconera unearthed patent docs dated last December (and only published by the patent office late last week) for the technology […]
Engadget’s recession antidote: win an Altec Lansing octiv Air!
This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn’t want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back — so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We’ll be handing out a new gadget […]
Firefox 3.5 arrives
After some rather impressive RC builds, Firefox 3.5 is all packaged up and ready for public consumption. Mozilla is saying its new browser is more than two times faster than Firefox 3, but what has us more excited is the support for plugin-free “open codec” video and audio playback using Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora– […]
Wii MotionPlus impressions: it works, but so far the games aren’t worth the fuss
At first glance it’s a little difficult to understand the necessity of another motion-sensing add-on. What could possibly be inside this particular block of white plastic that’s not inside those other countless slabs of white plastic that Nintendo has already slathered on the Wii? Sure, we know in theory that the gyroscopes that MotionPlus provides […]
