Asus EN6800GT: Dual Nvidia 6800GT on One Board

It looks like doubling up processors isn’t going to be limited to PC chips, as Asus is moving forward with plans to offer the EN6800GT, a single graphics card with two (separate, not dual-core) Nvidia 6800 GT chips built-in. That means all the power of SLI in a single, expensive purchase, but as you can…

Yahoo! Music Unlimited: $7 Monthly Rentals

So this is pretty major: Yahoo! has announced their new music rental service, called Yahoo Music Unlimited, that will allow unlimited downloads (using Windows Media Player 10 DRM) for $7 a month, or just $60 a year. Comparable services, from the likes of Napster and Real, cost in the $15 a month range, so we’re…

iPod shuffle Crucifix

CW from FutureFeeder spotted this at the Pratt Show 2005 in the ID section, although it wasn’t listed with a designer. Perhaps it was immaculately conceived? That’s how Apple acts like most of their products were designed.

The phone will run Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, powered by a 520MHz Xscale, sport built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth,…

Sony VAIO VGN-T350: Built-In GPRS/EDGE

Sony has launched its new VGN-T350, a moderately-specced notebook that is mainly significant for its built-in GPRS/EDGE modem with service through Cingular. The problem is, the service from Cingular is 80 bucks a month—the same price as Verizon’s EV-DO Broadband Access service, but not nearly as fast. Plus, when you’re ready to upgrade to, say,…

Apple Tablet Patent is Not New

A story on the Mac Observer mentions that Apple has been granted a design patent for a slate-like tablet computer. For the record, this is the same tablet reported by The Register back in August, so don’t get too excited about it yet. We’d love for Apple to take a stab at a tablet pc—and…

Indian Man Goes SMS Crazy

A man in India has reportedly managed to send 182,689 SMS text messages in just one month. This equates to roughly (and feel free to check my math on this) 4.228 texts every minute, or about 6,000 messages a day. It’s hard to believe that anyone could be so prolificly texting their friends and family…

MpEye HTS-200 (P)Reviewed

DAPreview has a quick review of the MpEye HTS-200 digital music player. Most remarkable is its 5GB capacity, considering its diminutive profile—it could easily be mistaken as a flash player. It also features the standard bevy of DAP fun including a line-in encoder, voice recorder and color screen. DAPreview assures us a full review is…

A Look Inside the Creative X-Fi Processor

ExtremeTech has an in-depth look at Creative’s forthcoming X-Fi Audio Processor, which sports a whopping 51 million transistors on a 0.13 micron process that runs at 400MHz—a lot of oomph for an audio processor. Almost as if they don’t realize that people aren’t getting any better at hearing things, Creative keeps plodding on in the…

Gizmodo Japan: Sony Walkman NW-HD5

I finally had a chance to play around with the new Sony NW-HD5, another so-called “iPod Killer.” The verdict? When you hold it up and touch the casing, it feels a bit flimsy, almost like you’re holding some cheap Chinese knockoff—this is not sleek PSP territory. But yes, it weighs next to nothing, which is…

Nintendo Teams with IGN/GameSpy for Wireless Gaming Network

Nintendo has teamed up with IGN/Gamespy to offer a Wi-Fi gaming network to allow gamers to compete across the internet.

The first Animal Crossing was a love-it-or-hate-it thing, but I’ll give you one look inside my Animal Crossing…

Bookmark Stores With RFID

Tokyo-based TechFirm is launching a service that allows customers to “bookmark” a favorite store by running their RFID-reading phones (or other devices) near an RFID device in the store.

This is a good thing—his…
