HTC HD Mini Review: A Really Lousy iPhone Nano

The HTC HD Mini is to the HD2 what the iPhone Nano would be to the original iPhone. It’s well-built and charmingly small, but its OS is too dated to ever enjoy very much. (Disclaimer: Before moving forward, we should let you know that the HD Mini has only been announced for Europe so far,…

The Star Wars Soundtrack That Never Happened

Back in the ’90s, there was almost a Star Wars compilation album with The Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack on it. Almost. Think back, if you can, to 1995, when LucasArts released a first-person shooter called Star Wars: Dark Forces. (Yeah, we know: ’95 is the videogame equivalent of the Bronze Age.) An enterprising Lucasfilm…

This Is What Toys Look Like When You X-Ray Them

Ghidorah is always awesome, but when you stick a toy Ghidorah into an X-ray machine – well, then he goes turbo-awesome. And Mothra looks even cooler, especially because you can see his motorized innards. You’ve probably seen anatomical drawings of kaiju, but never X-rays! These pictures were taken by Brendan Haley, who offers the best…

Why Microsoft Is Trying to Sell a (Smart) Dumbphone

Dumbphones are dead, right? So why—at the time of the great Windows Phone 7 resurrection—is Microsoft pushing a totally separate phone platform that doesn’t even run apps? The answer is borderline insane, but just might work. https://gizmodo.com/dumb-cellphones-must-die-5279250 When I first saw the two-pronged strategy, with Windows Phone 7 on one side, and the Kin phones…

New MacBook Pros Feature Core i5 and i7 Processors

The new MacBook Pros are here, and as expected, the 15 and 17-inch models are loaded with Intel’s Core i5 and i7 processors and new display options, but the 13-inch model stays behind with a Core2Duo and an unchanged price. So while pricing on the 13-inch models remain the same, the base MBP 17 drops…

HTC Incredible’s Specs Leak, Show Snapdragon Android Phone With 8MP Camera

It’s one of the leakiest phones of the year, but it looks like BGR has the official specs, courtesy of a well-placed source at Verizon—rumored to be the exclusive carrier for this Android phone. A 3.7-inch WVGA OLED capacitive screen, 1GHz Snapdragon QSG8650 processor and 8MP camera with autofocus and flash place it above both…

LEAK: Specs on Apple’s New ‘High Resolution’ MacBook Pros

According to information gathered by AppleInsider, not only will new MacBook Pros hitting later today each come with new processors and a 4GB RAM minimum—the models will also include three (rather than two) types of screens: “Glossy, High Resolution Glossy, and High Resolution Glossy with Anti-Glare.” So they’re all glossy, but both the MBP 15…

Palm Might Be Bought By Huawei

Chances are, a little-heard-of company will buy Palm. It’s not quite as sexy a story as HTC or Google buying them, but that’s often the way. Huawei, who manufactures dongles and cheap Androids, was apparently approached by Palm in February. https://gizmodo.com/htc-may-buy-palm-to-fight-apple-5514797 According to Reuters, Palm used some investment bankers as a middleman in February for…

Solar Path Recorded By Pinhole Camera Over Six Months

Between the months of June and December last year, “Mr. Mallon” was filming the sun’s activities on a single film cell, which lay forgotten in his back garden. This is the beautiful result. It’s a pretty example of what you can do with pinhole photography, where you simply place a roll of film in a…

Sketch Nation Shooter iPhone App Lets You Draw Your Own Games

Do you remember the OS X game SketchFighter, the shooter made from pencil drawings? Sketch Nation Shooter is certainly very similar, letting you draw your own levels, players, and even enemies. You pretty much design the game yourself! It’s 99 cents / 59p, and from what I can tell sounds worth every cent. Or penny.…

Nintendo Prez Reggie Fils-Aime Confirms 3DS

Apart from one shaky Japan-only press release, Nintendo has been schtum on the 3DS, leading some to think it was all just a practical joke. Not anymore—after everyone’s favorite nunchuk-wielding president spoke about their intentions with the 3D console. https://gizmodo.com/nintendo-3ds-the-details-5499713 Speaking to BusinessWeek, Reggie Fils-Aime said “we have ideas of what we want to bring…

If you’d previously downloaded the Google Mobile app for iPad, you might have noticed it’s changed recently—as Apple has finally approved it.

It certainly looks that way, after snapping up ex-SCEA man Mark DeLoura, to be their ‘developer advocate’ man for gaming, their first hiring for that area. Will he be working on Android games?

Hitachi Working On Glasses-Less 3D LCD

Another company has fallen down the glasses-less 3DTV route. Hitachi’s going to use Sharp’s parallax barrier technology (supposedly used in the Nintendo 3DS and that mysterious StreamTV panel) on some mean LCDs, hopefully just as slim as their previous models. https://gizmodo.com/giz-explains-3d-technologies-5084121 Last year at CEATEC Hitachi showed off a 10-inch prototype with a VGA screen,…
