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.

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.

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.
