Swap videos and music for the Treo 600

One of our favorite features of the new Treo 600 is that we can watch videos on it (they’re a bit pixelated, but it works).

Repeat after me: there is no black iPod

Back in April, when the new iPods came out, a photo circulated of what looked like a black iPod, but which turned out to actually be a regular white iPod that had been backlit to show off its illuminated buttons. Somehow completely missing all this and failing to even do the most cursory factcheck to…

Review of Orange’s new SPV E200 Smartphone

Extensive review posted up at MoDaCo of Orange’s new SPV E200 Smartphone (which comes with both Bluetooth and a built-in digital camera), comparing it with Orange’s first Smartphone, the original SPV: I think the E200 is an excellent device.

The Embrio

A hyperfuturistic-looking new concept vehicle from Bombardier that looks something like a one-wheeled motorcycle. The Embrio has a hydrogen fuel cell for power and like the Segway HT uses a gyroscope to stay balanced. Looks doubtful that this will ever make it into production, at least not anytime soon.

Well, not the tyranny of TiVo specifically, but rather how the rise of the digital video recorder, in perfectly dialectical fashion, has resulted in people feeling both more and less in control of their television watching.
