Coffee Can-Sized Jammers

The Pentagon is planning on testing a new radio-monitoring technology next week called “Wolfpack,” designed to not only listen to enemy communications, but to jam and infiltrate enemy broadcasters and computers. The plan is to eventually strengthen the individual units so that they could be seeded from airplanes, hit the ground and find other Wolves,…

Sony Ericsson P910i Reviewed

The Reg’s Tony Smith reviews the Sony Ericsson P910i, the update to the P900, which was in turn the update to the P800. It’s third time charms for Tony, as the upgraded screen and well-polished user interface have finally won him over to Sony’s premier smartphone platform. It’s not all melons and meerkats for the…

MDA Compact Pocket PC Smartphone

T-Mobile UK is launching a new Pocket PC smartphone called the MDA Compact (originally the i-mate Jam), a smallish unit with a 1.3-megapixel camera and 64MB each of ROM and RAM. It doesn’t look like it actually has a keypad hiding inside its iPod-like casing, so presumably everything is done through the touchscreen. Some might…

Carriers Banking on Mobile Television

Ben Chamy at CNet has a nice write-up of what we can expect from this week’s CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment show—CeBit for cellphones, basically—with a focus on mobile TV device and how carriers hope they will “save the cell phone industry.” We’ve been sort of lukewarm on the whole mobile video bit, simply because…

Music Pillows

These Music Pillows from Pioneer look like a stoner’s pipe dream. Imagine laying back in a hot tub with your head resting on an inflatable pillow, soothing sounds wafting up from the two speakers recessed into either side. Okay, sure, you could just wear headphones and use another, less expensive pillow that you wouldn’t mind…

Sony UK Launches Two New Flash Players

Sony has launched two new flash-based MP3 players in the UK today, the Walkman NW-E99 and the NW-E95, with 1GB and 512MB of storage, respectively. And when I say MP3 player I’m not saying that in just a generic sense—these units actually support MP3 natively, as opposed to transcoding into ATRAC. They’re spendy, though, at…

X-Ray Cameraphone Sees Through Clothes

Japanese company Yamada Denshi is selling a new add-on for mobile phones that will enable night-vision effects on the cameras—and it just happens to allow you to see through clothes. It’s a lot like those Sony Handycams from a few years back that let you see underwear and the like through sheer clothing. Before any…

PalmOne Treo 650 Announced

Good morning, Team Internet. The Treo 650 webpage at PalmOne is live. See you back in a minute after we go read it, too. Update: Okay, giving it a quick once over, there’s not a whole lot we didn’t know: upgraded screen, “upgraded” camera (still VGA), only 23MB of on-board non-volatile memory (ack!), and Bluetooth.…

PalmOne Will Announce Treo 650 on Monday

Not only have they announced special “news” next Monday at the CTIA Wireless Conference in San Francisco, earlier this week someone with PalmOne accidentally sort of, you know, told me. I told them I’d keep quiet as long as they did, but if they’re going to go and announce it with a wink and a…

XM to Launch Portable Hard Disk Player?

Well this is something! Rumors are flying that XM will unveil a ‘wearable’ device next week that tunes in music from its subscription satellite radio service. Not only that, but the chatter is that the device will include a hard drive that users will be able to save recorded information to—I find that so tantalizing…

Robo Grand Prix

Kids at the Temasek Polytechnic school in Singapore are showing off their Robo Grand Prix Mini competitions, where tiny intelligent race robots they’ve designed travel around a slot car-like course. Their next showing is at the Singapore Motorshow in November, so if you’re in the neighborhood and like to watch robots race (which is almost…

Niro 400 ‘Wall Bounce’ 5.1 System Reviewed

While this review from a professed audio neophyte of the Niro 400 5.1-channel speaker system—a system that purports to provide real surround sound from a single 5-speaker box that sits in front of the listener—is generally pretty positive, she makes it a point to mention that the ‘surround’ effect from the all-in-one box is pretty…

Hot Box Radiator

I haven’t lived in an apartment with a steam radiator for quite a while, but it pleases me no end to know that people still make them. Not just making the traditional accordion style, but new twists on designs—even uses, like these steel MHS Hot Box radiator boxes that have space for rolled up towels…

It’s Friday, and I think it’s time you all learn where baby circuits come from. Mostly safe for work electronic components orgies after the jump. Is it hot in here or is there just a short?

Milwaukee 6546 Screwdriver Reviewed

Reading this review of the Milwaukee 6546 2.4-Volt Two Speed Screwdriver by Loyd Case got me wondering: where are the good enthusiast power tool review sites? Case treats the Milwaukee like just another computer peripheral, with ratings and all the normal ExtremeTech stuff, but considering his job is to take apart about a hojillion PCs…

Audiobox SMT 5600 Reviewed

PhoneMag has a generally positive review of the new Audiovox SMT 5600, the new Windows Mobile 2003 SE smartphone available from AT&T Wireless. While it compares favorably to the Motorola MPx220 (a highly-anticipated, but ultimately disappointing phone with similar capabilities), it does suffer from a lot of the same shortcomings of all modern smartphones. Namely,…

Formac Gallery Xtreme Flat Panel Monitors

Formac is ignoring their name and pushing their new Gallery Xtreme (Argh!) LCD monitors to both PC and Mac users alike, especially gamers. Their new 19-inch and 20.1-inch monitors have a fast pixel response time (just 15ms) but a reasonable price—just $600 and $900 respectively. If they perform as well as they should, the new…
