Time Warner Considers Mobile Phone Dabble

Feeling pressured by various phone companies’ ability to bundle cable television, internet, and cellular service to their customers, Time Warner is making noise about moving into the mobile provider market itself. Hey maybe they could buy up MCI and become MCI/Time Warner or something? I bet no one would get fired over that. Don’t except…

New 1.5GB Player from Teac: MP-1000

DAPreview reports on a new 1.5GB hard disk-based mp3 player from Teac called the MP-1000 which looks, all things considered, remarkably uninteresting. It does play OGG Vorbis, if that’s your thing, and manages to include an FM-tuner and USB 2.0 — which is notable only because of the surprising amount of modern players that still…

Toshiba SD-P5000 15-Inch Not A Monitor

My first thought after seeing this 15-inch LCD panel with DVD from Toshiba was, “Of course! A decent VGA monitor that doubles as a somewhat portable movie player. How lovely. I need a snack,” but as I looked at it, it seemed as if it actually doesn’t have VGA ins, so … why not? It…

Fujitsu’s WiFi Cell Phone

I couldn’t get the fish to give me a good translation on this page, but I think we can get the gist. A new phone from Fujitsu, running Windows CE .NET (and possible a Linux version?), CF slot, and (here’s the good stuff) 802.11b. So the question is, how long before someone writes a program…

Eratech EMP-Z II Review

I want to hate the Eratech EMP-ZII. I mean, it’s an MP3 player shaped as a shiny metal egg, right? Sure it’s cute, but it must suck. Lo and behold, though, as I read through this review at I4U, I kept finding more and more to recommend it — earphone cords that double as the…

Neonode N1 Shipping?

Hey, I heard a rumor that the mythical Neonode N1 phone/mp3 player/camera — you know, the one that was supposed to start shipping, like, two years ago? — has started shipping to customers. There’s nothing on their site, though, so if anyone would like to confirm or deny the vaporous rumors, feel free. Read [Neonode]…

Confessions of a Cellphone Seller: The Sprint Edition

We asked our friend Elvi — who happens to be, among other things, an in-store Sprint representative — to give us the sweet and low on Sprint’s current lineup of phones. Think of it as the same sort of information you’d get if you spent an hour or two of time with a Sprint employee…

The iPod Slider

It’s not legit, of course, but it’s a fine looking mockup. I actually wouldn’t mind a screen that small if the whole thing were that compact. (Thanks, Knutmo!)

Motorola MPx Engineering Sample: Wedding Night Photos Leaked

Dialogue Flybook Profiled

It’s funny — not ‘haha’ but ‘heh’ — how over the last couple of months the FlipStartHQ has transmogrified into Handtops.com. Mostly, by my estimation, because the FlipStart is taking so damn long to come out. Still, if they weren’t doing such a good job, we wouldn’t keep linking them, and this profile of the…

Netcraft Confirms It: Comdex is Dying

Gah! This fucknut canceled Comdex. “We feel that while we could run Comdex profitably this year, it really wouldn’t serve the interests of the broader IT industry,” says Eric Faurot. Really, though, I don’t blame him. Comdex might be able to be run at a profit, but it’s been bleeding visitors and interesting products for…

Motorola MPx For Sale, Official Release Soon?

Make of it what you will, but someone in Toronto is selling one of the as-yet-unreleased Motorola MPx Smartphones for $1,800 CDN, or about $1,300 USD. I’m going to have to give that a big pass, myself, but if any of you guys out there are feeling randy and absolutely must have this phone, dubious…

Sharp DV-HRW30: Once, Twice … Three Times A Video Recorder

For those with more far-ranging video needs, Sharp is releasing the DV-HRW30, a hard disk video recorder which also has a DVD burner and VHS deck. It even bundles in a satellite decoder, although it can only tape that direct to hard drive or DVD — probably not a big problem, especially since you can…

I Like Big Trucks and I Can Not Lie

It may not be as big as that Liebherr truck we linked to a couple of days ago, but these are exactly the sort of construction site antics that make me wish somedays I hadn’t goofed off in shop class all the time. I guarantee that if there were more giant trucks crushing cars in…

Nokia Ships Rugged 5140 Sports Phone, First With Push-To-Talk

Nokia has begun shipping the new 5140 camera phone, aimed at “outdoor and sports-minded consumers.” Even better, the rugged phone is Nokia’s first push-to-talk phone, so hopefully we’ll see it picked up by Sprint or Nextel as an option. As for the fitness part, Nokia has included some software to like stopwatches, a ‘Fitness Coach’…

Linksys Announces Wireless-G Compact Flash Card, WCF54G

There’s not much detail, but there really doesn’t need to be — Linksys has announced a CompactFlash card that supports their ‘Wireless-G’ standard, which if I’m not mistaken is what they call their not-quite-standard implementation of 802.11g. No word on price yet, but I wouldn’t expect it to be much more expensive than the Wireless-B…

Sony NW-HD1: A New Walkman-Branded Hard Disk Player?

Item! I have it on good word that Sony is planning on launching another hard drive-based music player, called the Sony NW-HD1. It’s all rumor at this point, of course, but according to my source it will be branded under the Walkman name and has “far better styling than the Vaio offer.” Sony is apparently…

P-Mate

In Gizmodo’s continuing quest to bring full equality to the sexes, let me direct your attention to the ‘P-Mate,’ a urination device for women that allows the ladies to experience the singular biological advantage that men have over women — the ability to pee standing up. Essentially a disposable funnel that cups around the vagina,…
