Gizmodo Gallery: Hands-On with the LG Shine

We just got a chance to get our greasy thumbprints all over the sexy new LG Shine, and as you can see by the photos, it’s gorgeous. Extremely thin and light yet solid feeling, it feels great in the hand and doesn’t suffer from the cheap-feeling issues that plagues other stylish phones like the RAZR.…

Sony Ericsson W950 is the King of Smart Walkman Phones

We said we’ve been “watching” the W950 for a while even back in early 2006, but Sony Ericsson’s finally making it available for online purchase. Not subsidized by any provider, the W950 is going to be the king of smart Walkman phones in both cost and features. https://gizmodo.com/sony-ericsson-w950-is-the-king-of-smart-walkman-phones-227048 The phone has 4GB of internal storage,…

Microsoft Sideshow + Interlink = SideLink Media Center Remote Control

Microsoft and Interlink have introduced a Sideshow-equipped Bluetooth remote they have ingeniously dubbed the SideLink. Vista Media Center controls are all squashed onto the handheld, giving you control over music, videos and even television scheduling/recording via the 2.5″ color LCD screen. Now if only they could invent a device that would prevent you from losing…

Dirty Hands-On: Sony VAIO WA1 Wireless Music Streamer

Sony announced it last night during their press conference, but now I got to put my grubby, dirty hands all over it. For those that missed it, the WA1 is a wireless stereo radio from Sony that can play music from integrated flash memory, Internet radio, auxiliary input or streaming directly from a PC. https://gizmodo.com/sony-press-event-live-in-hd-226811…

Netgear, BitTorrent Box Streams 1080P To Your TV

New developments coming out of the Netgear/BitTorrent partnership: breaking into the universal streaming media market, Netgear’s Digital Entertainer HD tries to make good by packing a cornucopia of features into its rather large box. Using draft-N, it’s able to stream video in 1080p, as well as most any other media content (MP3, WMA, AAC and…

First Grope: Fufifilm F40fd

Fujifilm announced the F40fd (at left) a few days before CES, and we got our first chance today to fondle it. The biggest improvement from its predecessor is the slimmer figure. We loved the old FinePix F31fd (right) that boasts a stratospheric ISO 3200 sensitivity (and actually looked good up to at least up to…

Fujifilm Accepts SD Card, Gravity, Round Earth

Fujifilm makes some great cameras. Their low-light performance and color vibrancy can be stunning. But every review I write has to have the caveat “requires dorky, expensive xD memory cards.” No more! Fujifilm and SD are now good buds. The new high-end F40fd (March 2007, $300) and entry-level A610 ($130) and A800 ($180) feature 2-in-1…

Hitachi Concepts: Blueray Camcorders

Hitachi had a softspoken display where they were showing off some camcorder concepts. While there was certainly some content lost in translation, the booth crew explained that they featured Blueray disc recording, as well as recording to SD flash memory cards…and maybe a hard disc in their too for good measure. Either way, these are…

Hitachi’s $2500 50-Inch Plasma: How Good?

We took a close look at Hitachi’s low-end “1080HD” plasma that’s selling for a rock-bottom $2500, and the three of us there decided it’s not half-bad for the money. The set looks like HD; it’s plenty crispy but the contrast is fair, giving black levels that look more dark gray than black. Aww. Blacks are…

Hands-On: Hitachi Hybrid

I just got some hands-on time with Hitachi’s Hyrbid DVD/HDD DZHS300A combo camcorder. While I couldn’t actually record anything (apparently the Microdrive was disabled in the demo unit), I was able to ascertain that there is a reason for the nominal $599 pricepoint. The hybrid is almost ridiculously light, to the point where more heavy/solid…
