Xbox 360 Elite: Interview with Microsoft’s Albert Penello

Just before today’s launch announcement, we interviewed Albert Penello, Director of Global Marketing for Microsoft’s Xbox 360, and asked about the processor inside the Xbox 360 Elite, upcoming partnerships for the Marketplace Live download service, and future plans for IPTV.

CTIA’s Showstopper Event: Great Shrimp

Showstopper, a common event at big gadget shows, finished a few hours ago. One of the best things about this particular Showstopper event was the food. Team Gizmodo finished off about two dozen shrimp in less than 15 minutes. (Team Gizmodo = Jason and me.) Then I got hives. Alongside the food, there are tables…

Motorola Packs its Longest-lasting Battery Inside New H680 Bluetooth Headset

The problem with most Bluetooth headsets (aside from the fact that they make you look like a cyborg) is that they die out after a few hours of use. Motorola is addressing both issues with the H680, a new Bluetooth headset they claim lasts for eight continuous hours and eight days of standby. Style-wise, I…

Tenebraex Creates First Ever Color Night Vision Goggles

Okay, so $6,000 may be a lot of loot to pay for a pair of night vision goggles, but Tenebraex’s specs are the first to let you see in color. The goggles can see down to quarter-moon night levels. For anything lower than that, users can switch to the standard monochromatic green vision. The company…

Motorola CTIA Roundup

Unfortunately, for us, Motorola has produced a bit of a yawner at this year’s CTIA show. Motorola showed off the S9 Bluetooth headset, which we have known about, the H9, which is simply an update to the Motorola H5, the RAZR maxx Ve, which has been lingering for a couple months and lastly and coolest,…

Top 10 Apple Flops

What!? No, say it isn’t so, but it is. Apple did produce a lot of crap and newlaunches was kind enough to pile all of that Apple crap together for one craptacular list. Most of the items consisted of some of Apple’s older software flops such as Cyberdog, Taligent, and EWorld. I don’t quite agree…

Kyocera’s Booth is the Coolest at CTIA 2007

Kyocera had the classiest CTIA booth around, composed of faux grass, wood, river-washed stones, and red structural beams. But their phones are kind of irrelevant — they need a real flagship phone. And the S-hinged clamshell, the E5000, possibly their best of show, won’t cut it. (Jump for a photo and specs.) This CTIA, so…

Boring but Important Stuff

Verizon FiOS is getting an upgrade, and in typical FiOS fashion it will be rolled out s-l-o-w-l-y.

How many times have you been waiting for your new gadget to ship only to have…

Helio Ocean Gallery and Video: Every Friggin Detail, Right Here

Now that I’ve seen it, what can I say about the Helio Ocean? For starters, its not as huge as I thought it would be with the triple layer of LCD, 9-key, and QWERTY. It’s nice, with a lot more functionality than a Sidekick III (never mind the 3G network access), but I wouldn’t call…

Witness… the future of yogurt.
