Samsung YP-R0 outed, not exactly groundbreaking
In the vein of the previous yawnfest, the YP-R1, Samsung’s apparently got this baby — the YP-R0 — on the decks as well. Maybe it’s just the naming scheme that bores us — after all, it’s not a bad-looking slim little device, with a 2.6-inch touchscreen display, and this model will supposedly house 8GB […]
Easy Piano title lets DS Lite users tickle the ivory
We know that DSi of yours is all the rage, but you did hang on to that DS / DS Lite, didn’t you? Phew. Starting this November in Europe and other PAL regions, you’ll have a remarkably good excuse to bust that unit back out, as this new peripheral looks to require that all-but-forgotten GBA […]
Motorola posts $26m Q2 profit, promises cheap Android thrills, does a little dance
See that image there on the right? Yeah, it’s a pretty drastic departure from the Sad Moto[TM] face that had become all too common when talking about the company’s financials. Just a quarter after posting a dreadful $291 million loss, the outfit responsible for creating the RAZR and then doing nothing for half a decade […]
Cowon teases keychain-esque iAudio E2 DAP
Typically, it’s iriver who does the teasing, but you won’t catch us griping about Cowon pulling a similar trick with its elusive new iAudio E2. The image above is all we have to go on for the moment, which shows a digital audio player that’s capable of doubling as both a USB storage device (maybe) […]
AAXA ups the ante with SVGA P2 pico projector
While it’s probably safe to say that the rush of pico projectors has slowed to a trickle, that’s not stopping a few of the early entrants from dishing out new and improved models as the second wave builds. AAXA, the outfit responsible for serving up the pint-sized P1 back in February, is demonstrating exactly what […]
Acer’s Aspire Predator gaming rig gets even faster, stays just as orange
Just a few weeks too late for a Transformers 2 tie-in, Acer has announced a new revision of its Aspire G desktop, a.k.a. Predator. It shares the same case with the earlier edition that hit the US of A late last year, but naturally has some better specs this time ’round. The CPU is now […]
China Mobile’s 7-inch Android slate gets rendered
We’ve nothing much to go on outside of a few good renders and a smattering of machine translated paragraphs, but it sure sounds as if China Mobile is entertaining the idea of bringing a 7-inch Android-based tablet to its airwaves. As the story goes, said slate would boast China’s homegrown TD-SCDMA 3G connectivity, support for […]
Coconut headphone mod makes us long for Kokomo
You knew somebody would do it, and now you’re just downtrodden that said somebody isn’t you. Yes friends, the gadget you see above really is a pair of working headphones with coconut halves for earcups. We already got word that Dave Chappelle’s crack-infused twin fully approves, but we’re still waiting for Dr. Dre to give […]
iriver reportedly working up Android-based K2 media player
Take it for nothing more than it is (a lovely, delicious and completely unsubstantiated rumor), but word on the Australian streets is that iriver may have an Android-based portable media player on the horizon. According to local distributor C.R. Kennedy’s iriver product manager, Danny Bejanoff, the outfit is looking to take on Apple’s iPod touch […]
