Alleged Samsung NX100 pics and specs surface

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:09:00 +0000

We’re not quite sure what to make of this, as our first reaction is to label it a fan made render and move on. But it’s a very detailed render, so let’s hear this one out in between bites of freshly grilled burger (or whatever you do to celebrate Labor Day; we think more working is an appropriate course of action, but to each his or her own).

Toshiba AC100 Android smartbook hits the United Kingdom

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:12:00 +0000

Hey, there little guy! That’s the Toshiba AC100 — an Android 2.1 smartbook with Toshiba’s custom user interface — on show in the UK, where you can now grab one up. The 10.1-inch, 1.9-pounder has yet to show its face anywhere near the US, but as for specs it’s got a 1GHz Tegra 250 SoC, a 32GB SSD, 512MB of DDR2 memory, 802.11n WiFi, optional 3G, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and an HDMI port. While it’s listed on Amazon you still can’t actually order one of these bad boys stateside, but if you’re in the UK, you can grab one up for £292.52 (almost $450) for the non-3G model.

Sleek Audio’s SA7 earphones briefly tested, dubbed ’stonkingly good’

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:07:00 +0000

We didn’t get to hear them for ourselves at IFA 2010, and it sounds like we missed out — a pair of publications are already showering Sleek Audio’s nigh-bulletproof SA7 buds with praise. The tightly-woven carbon fiber casing may look stylish, but both SlashGear and TrustedReviews were even more impressed by the sound, calling the combination of dual-armature drivers and one-piece aluminum housing “more precise” and “stonkingly good” respectively

Nuu Mini Key adds a bulky physical keyboard to the iPhone 4

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:44:00 +0000

For all the benefits of touchscreen keyboards, there are many who maintain a steadfast allegiance to the gods of tactile feedback. So how does this Mini Key case with sliding QWERTY for the iPhone 4 strike you? Unfortunately, the keys were a bit hard to press on the backlit prototype keypad handled by Engadget Spanish, and it links to the iPhone via Bluetooth, not the iPhone’s dock connector (there’s a cutout at the bottom for a cable to pass through)

Samsung excuses absence of Super AMOLED on Galaxy Tab with Super TFT (video)

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:02:00 +0000

A Super AMOLED 7-inch tablet was highly unlikely to ever materialize in a marketable form, but that didn’t stop many of us from dreaming about one. Consequently, there was palpable disappointment when Samsung failed to deliver on our unicorn hallucinations with the Galaxy Tab , but the company says not to worry.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the new fourth-generation iPod touch : it’s so much like an iPhone that it has a Phone app (wait, what?).

WeTab tablet spotted running MeeGo at IFA

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:52:00 +0000

Remember the WeTab ? Or the WePad , perhaps? While we can’t say we had much confidence in ever seeing the tablet again after a seemingly endless series of false starts and delays , it has turned up at IFA , and with something of a surprise no less — it’s running a customized version of MeeGo

Keepin’ it real fake: Dyson’s Air Multiplier gets ripped off, multiplied a few more times

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 06:49:00 +0000

We never really understood the value proposition behind Dyson’s (admittedly boisterous) Air Multiplier , but that’s mostly due to the $300+ MSRP. Cut that back to right around $40, and you just might have us singing a different tune.

ExoPC preorders open to all from CAD $649, tablet loses GPS but gains SanDisk SSD

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 04:58:00 +0000

First the good news, for those who’ve waited months to get their paws on that 11.6-inch multitouch capacitive screen: there’s no longer anything stopping you from dropping a stack of change on the Windows 7-wielding ExoPC . Originally restricted to the first 1,200 dedicated fans, preorders are now open to all, with the 32GB tablet setting you back CAD $649 (about $624) and the 64GB version CAD $749 (about $720), with both models featuring up-to-160MB/s fast SanDisk P4 mini-SSDs and up to four hours of battery life. The bad news is that you’ll no longer find GPS on that 64GB model, as the prototype didn’t pan out, and we’re afraid that September 30th ship date has already slid back to October 15th.

We’re not sure why, but Panasonic loves to trot out human exhibits whenever it wants to promote new additions to its camera line. Here’s what they used at IFA 2010 in Berlin
