Lenovo Skylight Hands On: The Frisbee Smartbook

The Skylight is part netbook, part smartphone, and I'm pretty sure I could throw it 50 yards. The real question is if that makes it a game-changer or a novelty act. More »

Hands On With the Else Emblaze Smartphone: Welcome to the Retrofuture

It's a left-field product: a touchscreen smartphone with totally new software, which will have to fend for itself among well-established giants. Conventional wisdom would say it's doomed, and conventional wisdom may be right. But damnit, I really like the Emblaze. More »

Stair Dismount iPhone Game Hands On (Verdict: Sadistic Fun)

The Stair Dismount iPhone game sent me back eight years to the time when I would waste hours sending the stickman tumbling down instead of working on my programming assignments. The iPhone game is that, with slightly better controls. More »

Alex Reader Hands-On Lusty Pictures

There was a lousy video, but coming from the generation that had crushes on girls with staples on their belly buttons, I prefer these glossy pictures of the Alex Reader. And I don't mind its extra thickness. More »

Spawn HD-720 Hands On: Hey, Streaming Gaming Might Just Work

You've heard the pitch: the Spawn-720 is like a Slingbox for console games, letting you play your Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or (almost) any other console, through a streaming client on your PC. But does it work? Yes, so far. More »

Closer Look at Intel 4-Screen Laptop Suggests Superior Multitasking, Procrastinating

Playing with Intel's monster four-screened concept laptop, you use gestures to select media (online or local) and fiddle with widgets developed for it with an SDK (calculator, IM). This will either be really great or totally horrible for productivity.

Motorola Cliq Quick Hands On Impressions

I got a brief chance to handle the Motorola Cliq Android phone—no pictures yet, unfortunately—and came away pleasantly surprised. The phone itself is about as tall as an iPhone, but it's definitely thinner than most QWERTY sliders. More »

Palm Pixi Hands On: The Smaller Pre With A Better Keyboard and No Wi-Fi

The Palm Pixi is just what you'd get when you ask your engineers to take the Pre, keep as much stuff as possible, but make it smaller. It's a keyboarded candybar (with webOS), but it loses some vitals like Wi-Fi. More »

We're probably not going to see an Apple tablet tomorrow, but the Archos 9 could hold us over. The "netblet" (yea, my portmanteau of the words netbook and tablet) runs Windows 7, but I'm not sure I'd shell out $500. More »

Bose Quietly Updates Its QuietComfort Noise-Canceling Headphones (With Ears-On)

Ok, so the QuietComfort 15s look almost exactly like the pair of QuietComfort 2s you used that one time you had enough miles to fly business class, and they still cost $300, but you'll have to trust me: Something's changed. More »

After playing around with HP's new web-enabled printer, it's clear they didn't take any shortcuts with the hardware, equipping it with a responsive, capacitive touch panel. But besides the same types who buy digital photo frames, will anyone use this? More »

Iomega eGo Triple-Interface 500GB Drive Drops a Gig In 15 Seconds Flat

Sure it's shiny, ruby red and super lightweight, holds 500GB and connects—with power—via USB 2.0, FireWire 400 or FireWire 800. But the best thing about the newest Iomega eGo is that it can move files faster than (almost) anything I've seen. More »
