Among the many minor changes included in the 3.0 release of the iPhone OS was one that would enable those myriad of iPhone accessories to work more closely with software. That is to say, to make the plugging in of one result in in a prompting to download the other. The first such piece of […]
Windows 7 logo program is 6,000-strong, leaves most Atom netbooks out in the cold
The Windows Ecosystem Team has gone official with the new ‘Compatible with Windows 7′ sticker, which we sincerely hope won’t be as laughably misapplied as its Vista-related predecessor.

Honda EV-N Concept tucks U3-X personal transporter inside door
Look, we admit it: Honda’s U3-X unicycle gave us a bit of a chuckle when we first peeped the video last week. Now look at this, just look at it! Not only does the Honda EV-N Concept steal all the best retro styling from the classic Fiat 500 (or Honda 600 closer to home), it […]
Video: LG GD510 touchscreen ‘Pop’ is heavy on hype, light on specs
Gotta hand it to LG, it pulled out the big hitting hyperbole with the launch of its otherwise simplistic GD510 touchscreen phone.

When the covers were slipped off the HD 5870 last week, what emerged was the new champ in graphics performance that could also boast a pretty aggressive price to performance ratio. The only question left for many was whether the slightly hamstrung version of the same Cypress chip, the HD 5850, would be able to […]
Band Hero’s revamped drums coming in November bundle, very limited exclusive for Wii
Guitar Hero drummers who wondered whatever happened to that revamped set we spied months ago can finally sleep more soundly at night, although while still probably tapping out “Sweating Bullets” in their dreams. The cats at IGN got some hands-on time with the new gear, and while there’s no physical pics to show for it, […]
Chumby, now with less adorable softness: meet the One
Wrapping one’s brain around Chumby’s original concept — drop some Flash-based widgets inside a plush vinyl sphere with WiFi and a touchscreen — has never been an easy task, but after a couple years of low-key retail action, it looks like the company’s finally ready to bring a new version into the mix that might […]
