iPhone Clone Battlemodo: Which One Is the iPhoniest?

Okay, so the iPhone 3G is going to be the second coming of Jesus in pocketable form, but maybe you're a rebel and don't wanna look exactly like the estimated 27 million other tools expected to be running around with an iPhone by 2009. You wanna be different. (Or maybe you can't seem to break out of that damn Sprint contract.) Still, you do want a touchscreen, 3G data, a music player and all that jazz. Is there an iPhone clone worth buying from your carrier? Relax, we've done the work for you and broken down the top three nationwide carriers' best iPhone wannabes into a single chart. More »

Visual Voicemail Coming to Verizon... For a Price

Rumor has it that Verizon Wireless will be joining AT&T and Sprint in offering visual voicemail, in this case on four upcoming phones: LG's Chocolate 3 and an updated Voyager (possible software update but more likely hardware refresh), along with the mysteriously code-named "Blaze" and "Utopia" from Motorola. That's more phones than any other carrier to date, though there's no mention of it on the iPhone wannabe LG Dare. The catch is that the optional service will cost $2 a month—annoying when you consider other carriers offer it for free, though totally expected when you consider that even Verizon's email app costs an extra $5 per month. Look out for this to arrive in late July or early August. [IntoMobile]

Rumor Smashed: LG Voyager NOT Coming to Sprint or AT&T

Earlier this week, we posted a rumor about the possibility of the LG Voyager coming to Sprint and AT&T. We finally got in touch with LG reps, who told us the rumor is false, false, false. They say they have no intention of bringing the Voyager to Sprint, AT&T or any other carrier and don't know how the rumor started. [LG Voyager on Giz]

LG Voyager Coming to Sprint and AT&T?

According to Korean news outlet Electronic Times, an LG offical has been quoted on record as saying the LG Voyager will be coming to AT&T and Sprint sometime this year. The phone has sold 1.1 million units as a Verizon exclusive with its touchscreen front and flip-open keyboard. IntoMobile questions the success the Voyager would have against the iPhone on AT&T's network, as the two phones are in direct competition against each other. Going to Sprint would also put the Voyager in a cat fight against the recently launched Samsung Instinct. We have yet to hear officially from LG on the matter, so for now, we'll file this under rumor. [Electronic Times via Into Mobile]

Star Trek Mark IX Science Tricorder Replica Can't Tell Chroniton from Beresium

Forget the iPhone, real gadgetphiles carry a tricorder. You never know when some damsel in distress is going to need a lighting quick ruling on whether her Miata is made of Duranium or Tritanium. This life-altering, limited-edition diagnostic tool, complete with authentic sounds from the Voyager and DS9 series, can be yours for $349.99—although at second glance, didn't they abolish money in the Star Trek universe? Maybe this thing should be free. [Entertainment Earth]

Corsair Brings 32GB Flash Drives, College Students Get Excited

We've been using an 8GB to tote around our critical data (Futurama episodes), but Corsair's 32GB USB flash drives can carry four times as much Fry and Bender on the go. The two drives, Voyager and Survivor, will be retailing for $229 and $249 each—not a bad price for this much storage. The Voyager is enclosed in a proprietary all-rubber body, and the Survivor is in an aluminum water-proof body, which is kind of backwards from what you'd expect. They're not much to look at, but that's the point—you don't want anybody stealing these things.

Voyager 2 Could Be First Object to Escape Solar System, Meet Aliens

The Voyager 2 probe could be the first man-made object to travel outside the solar system in a few years, which may or may not result in it being discovered by sentient life and then sent back to "join with its Creator". V'ger 2 actually lost out to V'ger 1 in terms of crossing the "termination shock" boundary, a place where solar wind falters due to pressure "from gas in the interstellar medium lying outside the solar system". It's all very astrophysics, but suffice it to say that the probe is now about three times as far away from the Sun as Pluto, and will manage to give us a firsthand look at what's outside the solar system.

A Holiday GPS Navigator Gadget Round Up for the Ages

After lighting up the Today Show last week, today Wilson's burning up the pages of the Grey Lady with a rundown of hot holiday gifts loaded up with GPS. There's navigation gear for hikers like Bushnell's waterproof ONIX 400 (complete with XM radio), Garmin's Forerunner 305 for power-joggers, the usual car-mounted suspects like Garmin's Nuvi line and the hotly anticipated Dash GPS w/ a built-in cellular modem. The point is, no matter where you going or what you're doing, there's a navigator with GPS for it. Check out Wilson's piece to see just which gadget goes where and for how much in a single convenient article, no GPS necessary. [NYT]

LG Voyager from Verizon Wireless Reviewed (Verdict: Ambitious But Flawed)

Like many people who live in Verizon country, I have eagerly awaited the carrier's latest—and definitely greatest—feature phone, the LG VX10000 Voyager. Yesterday UPS dropped it off, and I've been playing with it constantly ever since. It is a powerful thing, ambitious in that it combines much of what we like about both the iPhone and the BlackBerry into a single compact system. But it has flaws that make it hard for me to give the highest marks, especially with an after-rebate price tag of $300. More »

Though images have leaked here and there, not much was known about the LG VX10000 from Verizon Wireless. Sure, when open, it looks like the QWERTY-obsessed LG enV, but when closed, it's got way more of a Prada—or dare I say iPhone?—vibe. More details and full gallery after the jump.

Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth Headset Does Mono Calls and Stereo Music

Plantronics' latest headset, the Voyager 855, may look like a normal headset, but it actually allows you to be twice as dorky-looking with an add-on earbud attachment to turn it into a stereo headset for music. That's right, the 855 supports A2DP, and you can activate stereo mode by just plugging in the earbud cable, wrapping it around your neck and sticking it in your other ear. More »

Trekkie Apartment Up for Sale

Remember that Star Trek-inspired apartment we showed you not too long ago? Well, Tony Alleyne (the man behind the apartment) is putting his 1 bedroom home up for sale asking for $967,000. The apartment is located in Hinckley, Leics, UK and comes with all the bells and whistles we showed you before, but unless there's a Trekkie convention in town, somehow I get the feeling he's gonna have a hard time selling it for that price. – Louis Ramirez More »

Corsair's Premium Flash Voyager GT USB Drives - Go That Way, Very Fast

Lucky for you, Corsair just announced their new Flash Voyager GT line of USB drive. The speed comes from the hand-selected NAND flash for each drive and the newly designed flash controller. Along with their enhanced dual channel and interleave memory technologies, the Flash Voyager GT drives provide speeds of up to 34MB/s read and 28 MB/s write. More »

Griffin Cradles Your iPod with AmpliFi and Voyager Speakers

Looks-wise, Griffin's new iPod speakers are impressive. On one hand you have the Amplifi, which reminds us of the SpeckTone dock if Darth Vader were to design one. The $150 AmpliFi has two 2.75-inch speakers along with a 5-inch subwoofer and an auxiliary input for hooking up other players. For those who like taking their iPod on the road, there's the $130 Voyager, Griffin's first rugged iPod speaker dock which is enclosed in a removable suit of rubber. It's got built-in speakers as well and like the AmpliFi runs off a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. We're siding with the AmpliFi cause we're superficial like that, but you should be able to pick up both speakers by early next year. Click through for a look at the Voyager. More »
