Nokia 3250 Reviewed (Verdict: Not Boring)
The Nokia 3250 aka “The Twisty One” is an odd duck. The bottom swivels to reveal audio player functions and it has a 2-megapixel camera as well as lots of fancy software. While this phone isn’t for everyone—it’s pretty expensive and considerably unavailable—it’s interesting to watch Nokia build their portfolio so intelligently. While they still…
Matrox TripleHead2Go Hands-On
We got to try out Matrox’s triple head dongle and we can state that a) it works b) it’s pretty cool. Until Matrox’s DualHead2Go, if you wanted two monitors you had to get a dedicated graphics card and run all sorts of fancy drivers. No, thanks to the TripleHead2Go, if you want to play an…
Mossberg Likes the MacBook
Like us over here at Macmodo, Mossberg loves him some Macs. We believe that his experience covering international affairs has turned him into a Machead, much like jobs at Applebee’s and too much acid in college turns some folks into Burning Man fans. We believe the complexity of continental inter-relations has fried his brain and…
Vista Beta 2 Tour
Ars has a great in-depth piece on Vista Beta 2. We still haven’t got our copy—nor are we holding our breath—but it’s clearly an important look at an OS that, for better or worse, will soon be taking over our lives. I want to be the first to get Ultimate Vista status with my 6-GHz…
PlayAway Audiobooks Reviewed (Verdict: Significant Market)
This review seems to have been written by a 12-year-old girl (“It is light weight and will be perfect for the beach this Summer. We’ll have more on this once we give it a listen :-)”), but it covers all the basics. The PlayAway is an MP3 player pre-loaded with an audio book. It costs about…
A Unique Tablet PC Review
David Wallace is a quadriplegic and editor of LifeKludger. His review of the Acer C200 is extremely unique in that the tablet form factor isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a revelation. With the visibility of UMPC, we’re constantly reminded that the tablet model never took off and, unless we’re missing something, we can expect UPMC to…
Boostaroo Revolution Hands-on
It’s kind of hard to warrant the purchase of strange, single-use devices like the Boostaroo Revolution. We like our toys to do all sorts of things. If it doesn’t play WMA, have built-in GPS, and vibrate, we don’t want it. That’s why the Boostaroo Revolution is so strange and so compelling. This stick-like amplifier/audio processor…
