Samsung Galaxy Player 50 hands-on 03 September 2010 at 6:47 am by admin

Remember how Samsung downsized the Wave to make the Wave 723 and killed off the pricey, fancy Super AMOLED display in the process? Yeah, well, the same rule applies to the Android-powered Galaxy line — so if you were hoping to see some mind-blowing contrast ratios on Sammy’s new PMP… well, you can just keep on hoping (and besides, even the mighty Tab has gone the TFT route for now).

+ Techknott’s Dreamcast Portable inspires musings on art, life, and Bomberman Online By admin 16 August 2010 at 10:27 am and have No Comments

A portable game console mod is like a still life: sure, it’s been done before, but it’s very satisfying when it’s done well. Or, to take the analogy further: where a still life lets the artist arrange the design elements with in a composition any way he wants, the modder works with elements necessary for game play, but is free to arrange them in the manner of his choosing. Our man Techknott, who once thrilled us with his Wireless Visual Interface for the PS3 , is back on the scene with the third iteration of his very own Dreamcast Portable — and it just might be a work of art in its own right.

+ Scottevest’s Carry-On Coat houses all of your portable electronics, stolen hotel shampoo bottles By admin 04 July 2010 at 7:58 am and have No Comments

Truth be told, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen a gadget-laced jacket that really caught our eye. There’s the occasional winter coat with a built-in iPod slot, and there’s a few unaffordable threads that don’t much matter to the vast majority of you, but it’s difficult to think of a single overcoat that’s as connected as this. Teased by Scottevest, the forthcoming Carry-On-Jacket is as functional as it is delightful, with an internal pocket made specifically for touchscreen devices so you’ll never even have to reach inside to skip tracks

+ Iomega’s eGo drives accelerate to USB 3.0, should soon make the jump to plaid By admin 02 June 2010 at 9:43 am and have No Comments

Yes, another manufacturer is throwing its weight behind the little, blue, but mostly the same USB 3.0 plug. Iomega has released a refreshed version of its eGo line of drives, with two models that support the new standard: the $129 500GB eGo Portable, and the $149 1TB or $229 2TB (and rather less portable) eGo Desktop. If you’re not quite so forward-looking, USB 2.0 models of the Portable line are available in 320GB, 500GB, and 1TB sizes, and there are Mac-specific, FireWire 800 editions of the Portable and Desktop drives available in 1 and 2TB sizes
