MiTAC’s Pocket PC for women

There’s another handheld coming from MiTAC besides the Mio 168, that Pocket PC with GPS they announced last week. MiTAC claims that the sleek Mio 336 is the smallest PDA with a color screen on the market (we’ll have to look into that). Curiously, they say they’re aiming the Mio 336, which has a 300MHz…

Know what you’re listening to

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to know exactly what it is you’re listening to on the radio now that DJs almost never announce the names of the songs they’re playing (though, there are a few different services that can help, like Shazam, which sadly isn’t out here yet, not to mention satellite radio, which usually includes…

Archos to make personal video players that can copy from DVDs

One of the biggest problems with personal video players is that there isn’t a whole lot of legal content to watch on them. Because it’s illegal to copy a DVD to a computer, and most people won’t want one of these things just to watch home videos, the most likely source of content for these…

The Inquirer is reporting that some problems have arisen with Sony Ericssons’ new P900 smartphone and that they’re so bad that cellular carrier Orange has recalled the first shipments made in the UK.

Intel chips that turn desktops into wireless base stations

Intel is working on a microchip that would let desktop PCs double as access points for wireless networks. It’s already possible to jigger a PC do something like this already, so I suppose the idea is to make this cheap enough and easy enough that most people wouldn’t need to bother buying a standalone wireless…

Sometimes Digital doesn’t mean digital

Someone must have failed to do some actual research, because Wired News has an article today about inexpensive digital cameras that includes one model that isn’t digital at all. Despite its name, Kodak’s new Plus Digital single-use camera actually uses traditional 35mm film, something they could have easily checked if they’d actually bothered to check…

Like the Aerielink Wireless Flash Combo we linked to a few weeks ago, there’s another second 802.11b wireless USB adapter for PCs that comes with 128MB of Flash memory storage built-in (we’ll admit to having a soft spot these sorts of combo gadgets).
