Sony Ericsson’s new

Some (blurry) pics over at Mobile.Burn of two new Sony Ericsson phones, the P810 (the phone on the left) and the Z600 (the phone in the center).

Dell fixes Axim X5 problem

Dell says they’ve fixed the performance problems plaguing Axim X5 Pocket PCs running the new Pocket PC 2003 operating system, and are releasing an update tomorrow.

The Corporate Fallout Detector

Another ingenious gadget from MIT’s Media Lab, this one a “corporate fallout detector” that’s meant to help consumers quickly gauge the social and environmental records of the companies behind the products they’re considering buying.

This Sound Machine has nothing to do with Gloria Estefan

Tom’s Hardware Guide asks a pretty good question about Philips’ new boom box, the AZ2555 Sound Machine: why in the heck is it “USB enabled?” You’d think WiFi would be a better means of accomplishing this, but the USB cable port on the Sound Machine is for streaming audio from a PC, basically turning it…

Creative’s Nomad Jukebox Zen NX

We’ve certainly bitched about this long enough, but how come someone can’t build a hard-drive based MP3 player that’s smaller and lighter than the iPod (they already know how to make one that’s cheaper)? Is it somehow impossible for all the engineers in the world to figure this out? At least Creative’s new 30GB Nomad…
