New wearable digital camera from Philips

That wearable key ring digital camera from Philips we first mentioned a full six months ago has finally come out. We were pretty excited about it at the time, but turns out that the resolution of the camera is miserable, not even a third of a megapixel. You’re better off putting your pennies towards a…

Review of Microsoft’s new 802.11g wireless networking gear

Speaking of 802.11g wireless gear, Paul Thurrott reviews Microsoft’s new line of 802.11g home wireless networking equipment, like their wireless base station (pictured at right). About five times faster than 802.11b (11Mbps vs. 54Mbps, though actual throughput will vary), 802.11g looks like it’s really just a year or so away from becoming the default standard…

T-Mobile to carry the N-Gage

In a move that they might come to regret, T-Mobile USA is going to be the first cellular carrier to offer Nokia’s N-Gage gamephone, the one that a lot of people have predicted will be a spectacular failure. We’re somewhat ambivalent about the N-Gage’s prospects and aren’t particularly impressed with it, but you really have…

CNET reviews first PCs running AMD’s new 64-bit chips

CNET reviews the first two desktop PCs running AMD’s new 64-bit Athlon XP 2400+ processor, iBuyPower’s Zillion-FX (yes, we know the name sounds like it was picked by a kindergarten class) and Polywell’s Poly 900NF3-FX1 (Apple’s new G5 was the first desktop with a 64-bit chip).

It looks like the PEGA-VR100K, Sony’s video recorder that saves shows onto Memory Sticks for watching later on a Clie PDA that we mentioned a few weeks back, is going to be released here in the States. The resolution isn’t so great, but the VR100K can squeeze up to four hours of programming onto a…

Counterfeit Bluetooth

Apparently there is a big problem in Britain right now with “counterfeit” Bluetooth gear. It’s not that the stuff, like cellphone headsets, don’t actually have Bluetooth radios in them, it’s that the people making the counterfeit gear aren’t registered members of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and aren’t authorized to use the trademarked “Bluetooth” label…
