iPod university

And, just to add to the overflow of iPod-related posts, Georgia College & State University has a pilot program in which iPods are used to distribute MP3s of class lectures or of music related to a course. Two iMacs were placed in separate computer labs to serve as the “mother ship” for student iPods. Each…

The new iPods look great, but they still don’t have a built-in FM tuner, something that plenty of other MP3 players come with these days. It’s perhaps not the ideal solution, but Griffin has a new external FM radio that connects to the iPod, predictably enough called the “iFM”. The iPod’s remote actually pops into…

More on Cisco’s WiFi phone

We reported on this a couple of weeks ago, and it looks like Cisco’s new WiFi phone, the 7290, is finally out.

Base hit

Apparently cellphones have gotten so cheap that baseball fans no longer have any compunction about throwing them at the heads of players during games. Seriously. The latest phone chucking came at Wrigley Field, where drunken Cubs fans have grown tired of tossing home run balls back onto the field. In the eighth inning Thursday, some…

Making the Clie compatible

Eruware has come out with some drivers that’ll let you use regular Compact Flash cards in the CF slot of those new Sony Clies.

Sony’s new wireless LAN card for handhelds

A few months ago Sony introduced a couple of Clie handhelds, the PEG-NX70v and the PEG-NX60, with a slot for CompactFlash accessories, something that no other Sony handheld had. The problem is that the slot will only work with one accessory, Sony’s overpriced CompactFlash WiFi card. Read

3G swivelphone

Nice looking 3G cellphone from Kyocera. The A5305K also has a 260,000 color, 2.1-inch LCD screen and a built-in digital camera for taking pictures and shooting video clips. But the real innovation here is that the phone has a screen that swivels around to expose the keypad, sorta like the V70 from Motorola: Thanks to…
