Leaked docs suggest it’ll be $200 on contract after $100 mail-in rebate. As we noted when we first saw the ai.rs video below, the TouchWiz 2.0 UI looks nice,…

NEC’s New TV Remote Uses No Batteries

It will be some time before it reaches couch potatos’ hands, but NEC’s new TV remote prototype promises eternal power and no battery changes. Ever. How so? It doesn’t use any. How is this sorcery possible? According to the witches and wizards at NEC Electronics and Onryoku Hatsuden, their new remote generates electricity when the…

LightSleeper Will Hypnotize You Until You Fall Sleep—or Give You a Headache

“A brand-new sleeping aid. No pills. No fuss. Just sleep,” says the sales pitch. Oh really? And where is the fun in that, exactly? The manufacturer says that, by projecting a light moving in circles on your bedroom ceiling, this magic egg will make you fall asleep. The Great Zamboni agrees. I have serious doubts.…

Samsung Dumping Symbian

So this is why Samsung announced bada. That new OS will replace Symbian starting in 2010, according to Samsung’s senior VP, Don Joo Lee. (No worries, Samsung will continue to sell Windows Mobile and Android handsets.) But as for Symbian, the OS will certainly take a hit without a piece of Samsung’s 200 million or…

Why Did Samsung Just Announce Another Mobile OS?

They’re calling it “Bada,” which means ocean in Korean. And it’s got an SDK! After sifting through hundreds of words of deliberately vague press release, this is all we really know about Samsung’s new mobile OS. Well, almost. Samsung is as aware as any company of just how many smartphones OSes there are in the…

Building a NAS? Skip the Performance Drives

A while ago I was considering putting low-powered 5400 RPM drives into a NAS. I was worried about performance, but Tom’s Hardware shows us that drive speed isn’t the bottleneck, and how slower drives can even beat faster ones. The main bottleneck in any NAS is the RAID engine. Since many NAS units don’t include…

Samsung’s New Ultra Slim 30-Nanometer Flash Memory Chips Will Cause Gadget Shrinkage

With stacks of eight being only 0.6mm thick, Samsung’s new 30-nanometer NAND chips are practically anorexic, but for once that’s a good thing. Thinner chips like these could bring smaller gadgets and hopefully also lead to lower SSD prices. According to Samsung, their new chips are actually the slimmest ever and “40% thinner and lighter…
