Nokia Wireless Plug-in Car Handsfree HF-6W

In addition to the three new candybar phones announced today, Nokia is also showing off their new Wireless Plug-in Car Handsfree HF-6W, which plugs into a cigarette lighter and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. The gimmick is that the HF-6W uses something called ‘Speech Tracking Technology,’ where an array of four microphones is used…

Nokia 6230i, Nokia 6021, Nokia 6030

iPod Camera Connector Picture

I was hoping for something a little more amazing, I guess, than a little white plastic USB converter, but I suppose the $30 iPod Camera Connector is better than nothing. When will they make a little USB camera that fits on the end, or a camera shell that envelops the iPod and uses it as…

XM Ups Monthly Fee to $13

In a sign that they’re happy exactly where they are, satellite radio operator XM has hiked their rates to $13 a month, a 30 percent increase from the precious $10 a month rate. If you’re already a subscriber, you can save yourself some scratch by pre-paying for a year (or longer, if you’re that sure…

Fujitsu to Release 120GB Laptop Drive

Laptop hard drives are great, because they are so much easier to shoplift. I mean, you can put a 3.5-inch drive in your pants, but those little 2.5-inch jobs go in a front pocket, or even behind a wallet. Seriously, it’s like digging up dead babies and candying them. Fujitsu would like you to know…

LoungeLight LED Candles

Mom got me these Candela Rechargeable Lamps for Christmas, and despite her typical, sheepish excuses, they are actually sort of cool. I wouldn’t explore an abandoned mine with them or anything, but they serve as occasional, dorky ambiance. These LoungeLight LED Candles, however, are way cooler (sorry Mom). Each way has a built-in LED and…

So who else heard about internet on airplanes and said, “Golly, I can’t wait to not afford that!” A person who calls hirself ‘Alexander,’—the bishonen anime hermaphrodite avatar isn’t giving me much to go on, although who are we to talk?—tried out the Boeing Connexion broadband service on a flight from Frankfurt and varified that…

A Short History of Ringtones

The New Yorker, which is apparently a magazine and not a sandwich, has an article on the history of cell phone ringtones, the little bits of MIDI and MP3 that accounted for four billion dollars in revenue last year. While the history may not be enlightening—they started crappy, then got better—it serves as a decent…

New Game Boy This Xmas, Says Not Nintendo

Sister site Kotaku passes on speculation from an industry analyst that projects Nintendo will be launching a new Game Boy this year to complement its Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance SP lines. From the chatter, it doesn’t sound like a new product line, exactly, but instead another streamlining of the Game Boy Advance platform—hopefully…

Syntax Olevia LT25HVE

Syntax has announced a new Olevia LCD TV, the LT26HVE, which will offer a 1,280 by 780 pixel resolution in a 26-inch screen. So that’s fine and everything, but not that notable, except for the price: just $900 MSRP, which is really pretty affordable, considering the rest of the specs. Syntax claims they’ve been able…

More Siemens SF65 Details

Overclocker’s Workbench, of all people, has some more pictures and light details of the Siemens SF65 cameraphone, the 1.3-megapixel clamshell that is the German manufacturer’s answer to the Sony Ericsson s700i. It’s not likely to hit our shores, sadly, but we may not be missing that much—while the camera functions look potentially good, no expandable…

Sharp Refrigerator Heats Food Up

This new fridge from Sharp can not only keep food cold (crazy!), but also has a space in the middle that keeps food warm—up to 130F degrees. The idea is to keep leftovers toasty for working salarymen who have to stay late at the office. If the whisky proves warmer than their beds, though, the…

Flash memory is getting so inexpensive that this sort of efficiency is…

T-Mobile Says They’re Patched Up

Sensitive Objects

Sensitive Objects technology is a fresh new approach to the touch panel concept—tap the flat surface and the acoustic signature unique to the point you tapped is analyzed. If it’s recognized, the intended action is executed. While that’s not new to touchscreens (surface acoustic analysis has been used for a while in flat-panel touch-screens), it…
