Samsung's New Cameras Are Cheap Excuse to Show Hot Biker Girl

For some strange and sick reason, Samsung is one of those manufacturers who doesn't think that girl power is the future of gadgetry, and instead assumes that all digital camera buyers are sex-obsessed men, basement World of Warcraft players with a large hadron collider for all things leather and large female attributes, all of them eager to try their new Fall 2008 camera lineup on a blonde riding a bike. And they are right. Miss Samsung Biker Girl, we love you (but not more than we love Miss IFA). Here's their full line of cameras for Fall 2008: More »

Rumor Smashed: No New Kindle This Year

One thing I can tell you for sure is that there will be no new version of the Kindle this year. A new version is possible sometime next year at the earliest.

New Cool Sony TVs at IFA

Live from the Sony Press Conference at IFA

Hookai. I'm lining up to get into Sony's press conference. They have some things under wraps, including a mega-TV with super-smooth video action and what could be some Walkmen. Hmmm, I love the smell of new plastic in the morning. More info and photos following up shortly. Keep watching this space. More »

New iPod Nano Mock-up Takes the Sting Out of the New iPod Nano

I can't speak for everyone in the room, but I'm not all that excited about the possibility of the iPod nano returning to its long, skinny origins. Originally repulsed by the latest iteration of nano, the deformed, squat body won me over the first time I actually held it in my hand. And it instantly made the styling of its thin predecessor seem like a vanity device—a lipstick-like accessory, not something designed to easily play my music. Anyway, these concept mock-ups by flickr's Umpa reminded me that skinny is still pretty hot. Widen the screen a tad and I might be sold, again. Bonus shot: More »

Is This Case for the New iPod Nano?

We're not sure whether this case is for the real upcoming iPod nano or it's just a speculative fabrication. but its elongated design mimics the same style of the Kevin Rose rendering that we came out last week. I'll tell you though, if Apple released a short, fat iPod just to go back to the tall, skinny design, it's confirmed—Jonathan Ive really is exploiting the public as part of some larger, demented bet with Steve Jobs.

120GB Zune Makes World Debut Courtesy of FCC

The FCC's test report—found by I Started Something—for an upcoming "Portable Media Device with 120GB Hard Drive" by Microsoft is the 120GB Zune, and was first tested June 19 of this year. What's this mean to you? Not a whole lot, since this Zune is the exact same size and shape as the old one, except with increased storage. It's likely that the 120GB Zune will be the new 80GB Zune later this year, assuming that Microsoft is going to push out another yearly update to their players and software suites. Or, it could just be a new size to go along with the old sizes. [I Started Something]

Installing Xbox 360 Games Is Easy Peasy

As part of The New Xbox "can we please get a shorter name yet" Experience, players will be able to install any Xbox 360 game in its entirety to the console's hard drive—decreasing load times dramatically. Here's the first clip of that process. You'll notice that yes, it's easy to do, yes, it takes a long time to install and yes, you need the game disc to load the game. So it's pretty much just as we expected, which is actually pretty good. [Kotaku]

Nintendo Preparing New Console While Counting 992 Million Dollars

"We are always preparing for the next hardware. We are under development," he declared. However, according to Chris Morris, he warned fans not to expect too much: More »

AT&T Tries to Kill WiMax

Would you kick a crippled person just as they were standing on their feet, about to walk for the first time in years? AT&T would! Against all odds, WiMax just might make it, pending the merger of Sprint and Clearwire's WiMax divisions. So AT&T filed with a petition with the FCC to block it. More »

How Themes May Look In The New Xbox Experience

Your old themes will be compatible with The New Xbox Experience, Xbox LIVE guru Marc Whitten assured us when we talked to him at E3. Here is what they may look like (the interface still isn't totally final). You'll notice is that it's easy to stick a wallpaper over the top half of the grey background. Hopefully advertisements won't fill up the bottom half. Here are two bonus shots: More »

The Impetus Behind The New Xbox Experience

"Why does this work in Wal-mart" Marc Whitten asked, rhetorically. He's the General Manager for Xbox LIVE and the guy in charge of the new Xbox 360 dashboard system known as The New Xbox Experience. "Visual is a better way of exploring...you're actually good at discerning things visually." And if such is the case, it makes sense why Microsoft has ditched the endless lines of icons and text in their Xbox 360 setup, opting for a minimal experience not so different from Apple's Front Row.

iPhone 3G Jailbroken

After unlocking and jailbreaking iPhone OS 2.0, the iPhone Dev Team has now liberated the new iPhone 3G, only five days after launch. This means a Pwnage tool that will allow you to install the unofficial applications that Apple doesn't want you to have in your iPhone—like video recording apps or game emulators—alongside with the App Store ones. The upcoming Pwnage will support the classic iPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPhone 3G. The video shows it works great: More »

iPhone 3G Unlocked with SIM Card Adapter

Just four days after its launch, the iPhone 3G has been unlocked for the first time exactly like the original iPhone: using a special card that piggybacks to your SIM card, fooling the phone into thinking it's using an official carrier. While this is not the software unlock being developed by the usual suspects, the video clearly shows that it works fine. More »
