Sharp Zaurus SL-6000L Hits The States

PDA Live is noting that the newest Sharp Zaurus, the SL-6000L, has made it to the US. The Sl-6000L has a 480 by 640 screen, trademark sliding keyboard, integrated WiFi, SDIO, and one USB host, which means external devices like cameras (or even mice) could conceivably be connected to the device. The 400 MHz XScale…

Samsung i700 Pocket PC Phone Review

PDA Buyer’s Guide has a review of the Samsung i700 Pocket PC Phone Edition from Verizon, a 300MHz Xscale PDA phone. The CDMA phone gets good all-around marks, and even takes kindly to a little overclocking (with surprisingly little effect on battery life). It has its limitations, like a lack of integreated Bluetooth or WiFi,…

Indian Appeasements Heavy On The Gadgetry

Apparently the latest trend in swaying Indian voters is to offer TVs, DVD players, and cell phones—a plan that is working much more effectively than the previous appeasements of alcohol (which led to hung-over no-show voters) or money (which was usually stolen). Some retailers are liquidating sizeable quantities of overstock to election campaigns, taking advantage…

New Military Inspired Batmobile

Bruce Wayne is the Godfather of Gadgetry, so I think that makes these shots of the new Batmobile pretty topical, really. Like a cross between a John Deere and an F1 car, the new Batmobile is, well … different. Ain’t It Cool has the story behind this design. Thanks, Numlok. Look – Front View Look…

Hori Katana: Soul Controller

Designed for the upcoming game ‘Onimusha 3’ (but also useful for scaring off any potential girlfriends), the Hori Katana: Soul Controller is a wireless, motion-sensitive sword that, when swung, actually makes your on-screen character do the same (he swings his motion-sensitive sword, controlling a smaller character inside his game, and so on, until your PS2…

Left Hand Of Phoneness

You know that left-handed cell phone reported on other sites today? According to Nechbi.com, it’s an April Fool’s prank come early. We would have reported this phone to you, but because we realized it was a prank, we didn’t. Also we might have been draped over our couch, drooling, due to a taser experiment gone…

25GB Blu-ray Disc For Playstation 3

Gamespot’s (exceedingly quality, for real) News section is reporting that the Playstation 3 may use the Blu-ray Disc format. A Sony director is quoted as saying, “We’d like to establish a ground by adopting read-only BD-ROMs for a home video game console.” Of course this is the director in charge of Blue-ray Disc development, so…

Four Player Simultanious WiFi LCD Projector

The Matsushita TH-LB10NT LCD supports four different PC connections simultaneously over WiFi at a combined resolution of 1,024 by 768. WiFi doesn’t have enough bandwidth to function like an actual monitor cable, but presumably some type of software is used to forward screens to the device, not unlike Remote Desktop functions or VNC (which is…

Disney Princess CD Jewelry/Stash Box

‘Disney’ and ‘electronics’ may not be two words you normally associate, but someone else obviously did, because there is now a ‘Disney Electronics,’ and they’re working hard to build new products on the Brand That Walt Built. Rather than simply rebrand existing products with the Disney name and characters—although there is certainly some of that…

Garmin Forerunner 201, Personal Training Without All The JPEGs

After setting your virtual partner’s pace and distance, the digital display keeps track of your pace, showing how well you’re doing in the race…

MSI FX5900XT Keeps Up With ATI 9600XT

HardOCP has a review of the new FX5900XT, a new mid-level card and the first from Nvidia to co-opt ATI’s confusing XT branding (hopefully, to eventual obsolescence). The FX5900XT comes across strong, easily besting Nvidia’s former mid-range part, the FX5700 Ultra, and keeping up with ATI’s 9600XT, its main competitor. Not only that, but the…

Canon’s CP-300, Bilker’s Best Friend

Perfect for the mobile blackmailer, the Canon Card Photo Printer CP-300 is a lightweight portable dye-sublimation unit that can print incriminating pictures in just 85 seconds (coincidentally the average amount of time it takes to be choked to death by a jealous husband). With rechargeable battery pack and direct-from-camera printing, you can hide in even…

Xbox 2 AMD Inside?

While many rumors have earmarked IBM’s Power970 chip (AKA the Apple G5) to provide number crunching duty for Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox 2, Rob Enderle of TechNewsWorld calls that “wishful thinking by a few Apple loyalists.” His guess (tech reporting is hard work!) is that the Xbox 2 will be AMD Inside, with a 64-bit core…

Guest Review: Glenn Reynolds On The Nikon D70

The Nikon folks were supposed to send me a Coolpix 8700 to guest-review for Gizmodo. That never seemed to get off the ground, but as I bought a D70 on my own last week, I’m just reviewing that. I was, briefly, a professional photographer back when Ronald Reagan was President, and my interest in serious…
