Samsung Instinct review

Samsung Instinct Review: Best Sprint or Samsung Phone Ever

Despite what we and other media have hinted at, despite what Sprint itself is spending a lot of money trying to convey, the Samsung Instinct is not an iPhone killer. To be sure, Samsung and Sprint borrowed liberally from the iPhone playbook when it came to look and feel. But the comparison itself isn't fair: The iPhone is a software platform that is growing every day, soon to have a host of applications that put it squarely in the smartphone category along with BlackBerry, Palm and Windows Mobile. The Samsung Instinct will never be mistaken for a smartphone. Then what is it? It's the best carrier-centric feature phone I've ever seen, a delight to use for many—though not all—of its intended purposes. More »

What Went Wrong With the First TV Remotes

Zenith pioneered the TV remote control, but those early models were more drag than advantage. Electronic House has a full walk down remote-control memory lane, but first, here's a quick Retromodo look at Zenith's first three creative attempts—and what was tragically wrong with them: More »

Latest by Monty: Kudos to Jordan. Yes, his link does appear to win the prize of one of the earliest remotes. I still have fond memory of the 'clicker' we used on our first TV. That hunk of metal, that looked like more »

Canon Brings Bucket-Shaped Selphy CP770 to US

It was one of those wacky things we thought might not make it to the US but sure enough it has: Canon's CP770 Selphy printer lives, hermit-crab like, inside a bucket. Details of the thing are after the jump, but the US price is $150. Canon also announced the CP760, which as you can see in the gallery is not as cute, but is "compact" and costs just $100. Both printers use dye-sub layered printing, now with an "overcoat" technology to help cut back on blurring. More »

DXG-569V HD: HD Camcorder For $169

You probably remember DXG's insanely cheap DXG-566V HD camcorder, the $150 answer to Sanyo's Xacti line. Well, DXG maybe didn't think the 566 was enough of a copycat: The company has totally revamped the 720p/30fps camcorder with a "sexy vertical design" to look a lot more like the Xacti. The low price is retained: the all-new DXG-569V HD only costs $170, while Xactis still cost anywhere from $260 up to $700. The DXG also only comes in silver or black, a small price to pay... literally. Specs and availability after the jump. More »

Casio Exilim EX-F1 Slow-Mo Super Cam Full Review (Verdict: Totally Unique, Shockingly Powerful)

OK, say it: What the hell? What's with all the Casio EX-F1 love? It's because this camera is the most underrated gadget to hit the market in at least a year—the camera fiend's equivalent of a jungle gym, with slow-mo, super slow-mo, high-speed stills, and simultaneous HD video and full-resolution still shooting, to name a few of its unique talents. If you're a nature lover, an explosion lover, a blender lover, a party goer, a pet owner, a parent, grandparent, godparent, secret agent or all-around creepy stalker type, it will rock your little tiny world. It's not flawless, but damn if it's not a beautiful and one-of-a-kind invention. More »
