One of the many problems with using a cellphone as your sole media device is the lack of storage space. A one or two gigabyte SD card just doesn’t hold enough music or movies to be used as a full-time mobile entertainment center. Enter the BluOnyx Mobile Content Server. With USB, SD, and upcoming Wi-Fi,…

Itching to get in close with your cameraphone? Check out this telescopic lens attachment, which turns your Nokia or Sony Ericsson into a zooming machine.

Is This The Sony Ericsson K770i?

Sony Ericsson doesn’t release phones very often—unlike a certain manufacturer that rhymes with Pokia—so each one goes through the spy-shot and rumor phase like good phones ought to do. This newest SE, leaked on a Chinese website, seems to be the K770i. The Cyber-shot branded phone may have a 2-megapixel auto-focus camera, a Sony M2…

Rumor: Google Phone – Why We’re Not Impressed

Rumor has it that Google, Orange (the UK cellphone provider), and HTC (our favorite Windows Mobile cellphone maker) are in talks to make a new Google-branded phone.

The iPhone is Dead: Long Live the Apple Cellphone Thingy-Ma-Bob

Apple doesn’t own the iPhone trademark. What does that mean? This isn’t a simple case of cybersquatting, as with the hijacked sex.com. Nor is it an academic exercise, like when Josh Quittner bought McDonalds.com for a Wired story. Cisco rightfully owns the trademark for iPhone. And Apple can’t sue them or bully them into giving…

When Bruce Lee died, imitators, under names like Bruce Le…

Good old Verizon. In an attempt to remind you of their YouTube content deal, they’ve made a YouTube ad that looks back at the past 25 years worth of cell phones. Or in their case, crippled cell phones. Seeing all the old phones is cool (my personal favorite is the Motorola StarTac which was my…
