His and Hers Cellphone Bathtubs…Eh?

Sure, there are more useful cellphone storage products out there, but few could match the style and sheer randomness of these “his and hers” bathtub holders. Don’t get me wrong, it would be nice if they had some sort of functionality, but that would make them far less stupid—and who wants that?

Adtec AD-HSM10: New World’s Smallest Bluetooth Headset

The world’s smallest Bluetooth headset just three weeks ago was Nextlink’s Invisio G5. Today’s it’s a fatty, out-ano’d by the more dwarven AD-HSM10, which looks like a titanium hearing aid. It weighs about a gram less than the G5 and is more squat, but its measly 3 hours of talk time and 100 hours of…

Asus M930W Smartphone Flips Out, Kills People, Has QWERTY

Asus already has a full stable of Windows Mobile phones, but this flip-open QWERTY-enabled candybar seems like one we can get behind. Not only does it have a screen underneath for typing (in addition to the outside screen), it’s powered by a 520MHz CPU, has Tri-band GSM, 3G, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, not to…

Nokia Asks Jobs If iTunes Can Come Out and Play

Does Nokia’s multimedia guru Anssi Vanjoki read Gizmodo? A few months back, when Nokia launched its Ovi mobile media portal, our own personal Jesus ridiculed its use of Windows Mobile content as not being able to keep up with iTunes. Well, right or wrong, Nokia got the message, and Vanjoki is now inviting Steve Jobs…

FCC Leaks Details on the Motorola ROKR E8

The FCC has just leaked details on the heretofore unannounced Motorola ROKR E8. The candybar phone has an illuminated touch keypad that disappears when not in use, making the thing look totally buttonless save the control wheel up top. It’s got haptic feedback of some kind, and it also has “a landscape display, micro-USB port,…

iPhone Ad Parody is a Marriage Proposal, Makes You Look Unromantic

A romantic young man made an iPhone ad for a purpose other than trying to get a small slice of internet fame: he made it to propose to his girlfriend. All together now: Awwwww! It’s actually a pretty well-done parody, with high production values and a lot of work clearly having gone into it. It’s…

Analog Cell Network Goes Bye-Bye, Escalade Owners Weep

Sad news in the rap community: As of December 31, OnStar will no longer support its own analog systems in older vehicles, in anticipation of the analog cellphone shutdown scheduled for Feb. 19, 2008. Most of us no longer have analog phones, not even those dual-band and tri-band ones capable of analog roaming. Still, certain…

BlackBerry Patent Goes Angular With Its Keys

Just when businessmen and women were getting used to BlackBerry’s SureType split-key keyboards, RIM has to go and patent yet another method of inputting text. As you can see in the drawing, this guy’s horribly misshapen thumbs are hammering away on angular keys, which actually seems pretty brilliant to us. Remember Microsoft and their ergonomic…

8GB Nokia N95 Coming to North America?

The Nokia Guide recently found on Nokia’s online Nseries US Portal, an inadvertent mention of a 8GB N95 NAM (North American Model).

Apple Year-End Report Card: A

Somewhere between 2006 and today, I stopped considering Apple an underdog. And I’m not just talking about their iPod numbers nor am I talking about their nowhere-close-to-Windows marketshare. I mean, screw marketshare, really: Does Porsche outsell Honda? Apple busted out some serious products like the iPhone and iPods and made aggressive growth in their notebook…

Nokia N-Gage First Access Gaming Platform Delayed Until 2008

Nokia’s “First Access” service that would let N81 owners play the 2nd Generation N-Gage games has been delayed until 2008, citing issues that they discovered via their 1000 global testers. We actually tested this new N-Gage platform earlier this year, and found it kind of to be like an Xbox Live Lite for mobiles. It…

Helio Mysto Arrives, but Only the Korean-Language Version

Here’s a weird move by Helio: its launching its new phone, the Mysto, quietly today. Why quietly? Well, it’s only releasing the Korean-language version of the new slider. Soon enough, the English version will follow, but apparently because of its ties to Korea’s SK Telecom only the Korean version is available for now. If you…

This is 1.43 million bucks-worth of telephone. It is hideous.
