INQ Mini 3G review

The INQ Mini 3G is quite the intriguing little phone. It has the dimensions and outward appearance of a standard issue featurephone, yet aims to provide the multifunctional utility of the bulkier QWERTY keyboard-sporting smartphones that now roam these lands. With deep integration of Facebook, Twitter and Skype, it’s designed to be a do-it-all social … Continue reading

Toshiba dynadock wireless U puts wireless USB to good use at last

We just spotted Toshiba’s new wireless U dynadock in the flesh, and guess what: it looks a lot like a dynadock. The good news is that wireless USB makes the whole docking concept a lot more attractive, though we’d much rather have a solution that’s integrated into the laptop — the included wireless USB dongle … Continue reading

Acer Ferrari One hands-on, and more from AMD’s VISION event

Despite the infamous logo and hot red lid, Acer’s Congo-based Ferrari One “ultrathin notebook” (read: netbook) managed to blend in rather well among a number of other laptops (at least 15, by our count) on display at AMD’s VISION event yesterday.

Video: Meizu M8 seemingly runs Android, definitely sets expectations too high

Ah, the Meizu M8. Undoubtedly the funnest smartphone ever to talk about, though based on shipping success rates, it’s probably not the phone to order if you actually value the whole “getting what you paid for” thing.

Mad Catz ships $300 Fender Stratocaster Rock Band guitar, disgraces real musicians everywhere

We always knew something like this was a realistic possibility, but we had high hopes that it’d never really come to fruition. Today, what little hope we had left in humanity has been thoroughly crushed, as the introduction of a guitar controller that costs far more than many actual guitars has occurred. In an effort … Continue reading

TomTom’s new x50 user interface gets pictured

We’ll be honest — after seeing TomTom‘s best efforts on its flagship GO 740 LIVE, we couldn’t be happier to witness a new user interface for the outfit’s PNDs. After taking the wraps off of the GO 950, GO 750 and GO 550 yesterday at IFA, the good folks over at Mobility Minded were able … Continue reading

PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware sales jump last week amid price cuts, both beat Wii for once

If you’re sick of hearing your grandmother brag about how popular her chosen console is while she rocks your world in Wii Sports Bowling yet again, maybe this news will finally shut her up. Last week, thanks to a flurry of price cuts and slimming waistlines, the other two players in the console war saw … Continue reading

Zune HD pamphlet discloses HD movies coming to Zune marketplace

With TV shows, music video, and video podcasts already proliferating the Zune marketplace, it was really only a matter of time before Microsoft dipped its toes into HD movies — not to mention kind of a logical step since Xbox Live was getting its movie section Zune-branded. BostonPocketPC writer Steven Hughes has uploaded pictures of … Continue reading
