iPod Photo First Impressions

PlaylistMag bought a couple of 60GB iPod Photos and have shared their first impressions. One striking thing they’ve discovered is that copying over photos from a camera using a flash memory card reader will not allow you to then view them on the iPod Photo—you’ll have to import then via iTunes, since it uses a…

PalmOne Tungsten T5 Reviewed Some More

Reading this review of the PalmOne Tungsten T5 on BargainPDA is sort of painful, as the new flagship PDA from PalmOne is slowly taken down, notch by notch, from being a premier PDA worth consideration by anyone, to a half-baked device full of missing options and unpolished design decisions. That feeling is amplified by the…

Gizmodo Breaks 1 Million Unique Visitors for October

I don’t check the stats all that much now compared to when I first started self-consciously editing Gizmodo, because I find it’s a good way to needlessly obsess about something you don’t really have that much control over in the first place. But I have been paying attention the last couple of weeks because we’ve…

ConQwest 2004: Semacode, Teens, Bears

I’m not quite sure what’s going here at the ConQwest 2004 game. It appears to involve Semacode scanning, high school girls, giant inflatable animal totems, and Dennis Crowley, one of the folks behind Dodgeball. (And really, I had you at high school girls, didn’t I, sicko?) ConQwest sounds like a lot of fun, as competing…

Philips Miravision TV Wins UK Award

Philips Miravision LCD television—the one that turns into a mirror when you turn it off—has been awarded the presumably-prestigious Most Innovative Gadget prize in the UK. I can only guess that it’s prestigious, because someone wrote an article about it in The Guardian, and the Brits tell me that’s good. All in all, it is…

Giro Helmets with TuneUps

Sports equipment manufacturer Giro has their 2005 line of products out, including a new line of snowboarding and ski helmets that accept optional ‘TuneUps,’ a set of integrated, padded headphones that clip right into the helmet. Even better, they have a split out version called the TuneUps II which allows you to connect not only…

Interview: FreePalms.com’s Burke Jones

We did a short interview with Burke Jones, owner of FreePalms.com, a site pointed out to us today by a reader that appears to offer the same sort of deal as FreeiPods.com, except this time giving away Zire 72, Tungsten T3, and Tungsten C PDAs. Since they’re site is a little spartan, we figured we’d…

Treo 650 Almost Reviewed

It might not be fair to call this the first Treo 650 review (and he doesn’t), but Treonauts has a fairly in-depth breakdown of the smartphone after spending many hours with it and taking it through the paces. He’s pretty rocked by it, it seems, and while you have to take a Treo review on…

Koyono BlackCoat-T Reviewed

PocketNow reviews the Koyono BlackCoat-T, a $40 t-shirt with a prominent zipper that lets you secret away gadgets (or whatever) in little woven-in pouches under your arms. I had my doubts, but Tim Adams says it’s not as awkward as one might think, although it takes a little two handed contortionism to get a ringing…

Media Center PC Owners Get Mixed Signals from Gateway

Quite a few owners of Gateway Media Center Edition home theater PCs are pretty upset with the company at the moment, as requests about the upgrade path for machines running the 2004 Edition of the Windows XP Media Center operating system are receiving conflicting information. Some are hearing an update will be made “by Thanksgiving,”…

Yahoo’s Mobile Search

So I think we gave a little remainders blip to the mention of Yahoo’s mobile search function for phones, but a lot more people are talking about it today, so I thought we’d revisit it. The main difference between Yahoo’s and Google’s mobile search seems to be that Yahoo’s is an actual mobile web page…

Batmobile Begins Details

More details about the new Batmobile are leaking out with a feature in Rolling Stone that details some of the production work and story ideas behind the new Mad Max-style jet-powered bat-thing. Apparently they built three different ones for the movie at a cost of just $1.7 million each. Feature-wise, though, it’s sort of spartan…

Bundled Sharp Software Turns DVDs 3D

This AP review of the Sharp LL-151-3D, the $1,500 3-D LCD flat-panel monitor, mentions an interesting bit of software called ‘3-D DVD’ that converts 2D DVD movies (or anything, presumably) into the sort of faux-3D information flat panels like the Sharp can process. It makes a few educated guesses—and gets a lot of stuff wrong,…

Wearable Computing Fashion Show

The Korean Ministry of Information and Communication had a wearable computer fashion show yesterday in Seoul, with lots of the typical arm-keyboards and heads-up displays and techno-nipples and the like. These pics on WMMNA are the first I’ve seen, but surely there are more. Send them in if you find some more, would you? Korea…

Gateway Photo Jukebox

Obviously, Apple was the last to the party with a color screen, but now that they’ve emphasized photos over video, you can bet everyone else will, too. Case in point: Gateway’s new MP3 Photo Jukebox, a smart-looking 4GB hard disk-based player (no 5GB?) with a 1.6-inch color display. The highlight features look very nice: MP3,…

Everyone that I had spoken to about the Logitech Cordless Headset for Xbox was pretty excited about it, perhaps a little bit unreasonably so.
