Pepcom Digital Lifestyles: Scenes From the Floor
Warning: Above video contains adult language, so cover Junior’s ears. Night before last was Digital Lifestyles, a preview of CES that basically shrinks down the conference center into one big room.

CES Partycrashers: We Got Thrown Out of the HP Party
When I told you about the Verizon party I promised video from the HP party we got kicked out of. I am a man of my word, so here it is. Imagine a party in a cheesy dance club populated with a bunch of people who party like your parents do when you aren’t around.…
Groping the Motorizr Z6 Slider
We just got a hands-on with Motorola’s Motorizr Z6 today, a new music phone with, thank jeebus, a more modern OS than what you might find on all RAZR gen phones. Motorola is notorious for their craptacularly sluggish software, and the Z6 comes loaded with a new, faster, crisper operating system. The other surprising thing…
Simpsons Movie Phone: Might Suck Less Than the Movie Will
As Matt Greoning has never been afraid to slap The Simpsons logo on anything for a quick buck, and Simpsons fans have been even less afraid to buy all of that crap, so it only makes sense that Samsung is releasing a Simpsons Movie phone to commemorate the upcoming release of that sure-to-be-crappy film No…

CES Partycrashers: Getting Shut Down at Verizon’s Off the Record Party
So that party that I told you about earlier, the Verizon one? It was at the Palms in the Hardwood Suite, and we headed over after getting kicked out of the HP party for taking videos (we’ll show you the footage we smuggled out of there a bit later). We were understandably a bit tired…
Gizmodo Gallery: Hands-On with the LG Shine
We just got a chance to get our greasy thumbprints all over the sexy new LG Shine, and as you can see by the photos, it’s gorgeous. Extremely thin and light yet solid feeling, it feels great in the hand and doesn’t suffer from the cheap-feeling issues that plagues other stylish phones like the RAZR.…
Strangeness with Verizon V CAST Mobile TV
Last night party captain Richard Blakeley and I hit the Verizon "Off the Record" party at the Palm. In addition to the free booze, mediocre music, and awkward crowd, there was a big ol’ pile of Samsung and LG phones hooked up to the upcoming V CAST Mobile TV service. Earlier in the night I…
Samsung’s A-VSB Digital Broadcasting Tech is Confusing Yet Awesome
OK, the video above is from the Samsung press conference where they lay out all the details on their new A-VSB digital broadcasting technology, and to be honest, they do a much better job explaining exactly what it is than I ever could. So go ahead and watch it, as Blakeley went through all the…
