Everex Going Bigger With Tiny Cloudbooks and Adding Next-Gen Wireless Joy

The mini-notebook market is heating up, with today bringing stats and shots of the Asus's latest Eee PC with its tiny screen and keys that might work with normal hands. Then later, we get news of a leak about Everex, Asus's competitor in this market, about its next Cloudbooks, including one with a 10.2-inch screen and 3G connectivity, and another with an 8.9-inch screen and WiMax.

Sprint's HTC Touch Diamond Gets Photographed By Digital Camera From 1998

Nothing confirms that Sprint is indeed getting the HTC Touch Diamond like a blurry picture of the phone posted in some forum. You can't tell much, but you can see that TouchFLO 3D is still there, and that there's a big yellow Sprint sticker on the top right where the, uh, front camera is supposed to be. Either there's no front cam on this or your face is going to get a Sprint logo all over it during conversations (or it's on the left, but we can't make it out in this vaselined photo).

AT&T Palm Centro?

There's an image floating around the web today of a Palm Centro running AT&T software. Now, we're just trying to figure out if this an actual future GSM model or just the bastard offspring off a failed deal between Palm and AT&T. Given the trumpeting of Sprint exclusivity, the latter is more likely. Thoughts? (Here's how to comment.) [Gear Diary]

Xbox 360 Spring Update Fixes Washed Out VGA Display Problems

Remember all the problems people had with washed out colors on their Xbox 360 when using a VGA cable? Well, the Spring Update actually offers a fix to those problems, which came from different interpretations of black levels on HDTVs and PCs. Adjust the new settings in your display and you'll be set.

Frankenreview: Sprint/Samsung UpStage

Jealous of the booze, babes, and cellphones that our own Brian Lam and Jason Chen get to play with all week, I decided to do some follow-up research on the new Samsung SPH-M620 (or Sprint UpStage) that has them all in a tizzy, celebrating with wet Mouseketeer kisses. More »

Rumor: Spring Color iPod Shuffles Coming?

Our design-savvy buddy, Josh Spear, was at an Apple store and spotted an employee wearing a grape-purple iPod Shuffle. Apparently it wasn't a case of any type and the employee reportedly didn't have much to say about it. So, is a new line of spring-colored iPod Shuffles on the way? And if so, why would Apple advertise it by having some Apple Store employee wear it around? More »

Spring Loaded Lightsabers From Hasbro

We all pretended to duel with lightsabers when we were kids—poor Ghyslain was the only one who got filmed doing it. But of all the things my maimed brother and I used to use‐sticks, crutches, toy lightsabers, the long lightbulbs from bathrooms—none of them had the pop-up action of real lightsabers. Until now.

Four Sprint Clamshells

We won't call our Mom about these four Sprint phones, babbling excitedly about the feature sets and sexy styling. Instead, we will calmly write her a letter, informing her that she should lay off the sauce and consider getting the CDM-120 nee UTStarcom CDM-7025 with nothing in it, the SPH-A580 with monochrome display (!!), the multi-colored Sanyo SCP-3100, or LG LX350 with 1.3-megapixel camera. We'll tell her all of them are priced to move, with the LG offering topping out at $80 with contract. Then we'll fold the letter, place it an envelope, and then drop it on the pile near the door where it will stay, with all the other letters. Then we'll go make some ramen and watch Judge Judy.

Rhapsody Joins The Sprint-apalooza


Just days after Sprint announed that Sirius will be available on its handsets comes news that you can get streaming music from Real Rhapsody through PCS Multimedia Vision Service as well. Clever sounding stations such as "Urban Hitz Radio" and of course, "Country" will be available. Also, it seems you can get podcasts from one radio station in Santa Monica (KCRW.com) in case you've been dying to listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic. And don't forget the plethora of crappy music videos available from IMNTV. The oddest feature is called "Beats N Break," which gives you a the basic beats from a bunch of popular songs and lets you "freestyle rap to the instrumental tracks." This is so hip and underground that it makes me feel old. Of course you'll have to sign a contract promising you won't sing any lyrics in public that you don't own the copyright to. This service will set you back another $6.95 a month. How long would I have to put my hat out on a streetcorner while freestyling with my Beats N Break to make that much money? A long, long time.
