Porsche P’9522 Cellphone Lacks 3G, Has GPS For Navigating Your Porsche

Porsche has kicked out cellphones before: but none so capable as the upcoming P’9522. It’s a butch but sweetly-minimal design flip phone, with a rotating screen, and it’s just got its FCC pass so it should be on the way here soon. Among its many features, it sadly lacks 3G connectivity, but the rest—including on-board…

Question of the Day: Is Taking Away Gadgets an Effective Form of Punishment?

Here is a question for all the parents and troublemaking kids out there. Is taking away favorite gadgets an effective form of punishment? I ask because an amusing story about a stoner having his Xbox 360 confiscated by police today reminded me, in a strange sort of way, about the tragic story of a 15-year…

MIT’s Huggable Robotic Bear Keeps Ill People From Feeling Sad

Normally you think science, lasers, and silicon chips when someone says “MIT,” but Huggable is an MIT invention nonetheless: it’s another smart robot companion, a bit like Paro meets Teddy Ruxpin. Its body is covered in sensors and motors, including webcams behind his eyes and a speaker in his nose, and its designed to respond…

BlackBerry Storm Torn Down To Reveal Secrets Of Its Click Screen: A Big Button

The guys over at PhoneWreck couldn’t contain themselves: they’ve already taken the BlackBerry Storm apart into a pile of little tiny pieces. And they discovered the secret behind it’s “click” touchscreen—the whole screen’s backplate presses on a single microswitch, so it’s one big button. They also found the Qualcomm MSM7600 processor in there somewhere, and…

Dell’s Mini 9 may be going for a pretty good price already (and an irritating disk error) but check out this deal sweetener: Dell’s added a 32GB SSD option for just $100. The base model with that larger solid state drive is thus $449—and to me, that’s pretty bonkers good value. [Dell via Engadget via…

Marantz Dock Does Wireless Bluetooth Streaming From Your iPod

This IS301 dock system from Marantz looks pretty swish, particularly as the dock part can be rotated for wall-mounting, but it’s a little confusing. It adds Bluetooth remote streaming to your hi-fi, which is nice, can charge iPods (including touch, but not iPhone) when it’s powered up, and it allows for direct control of Marantz…

AdminPatch Pain-Free Hypodermic Alternative Does It With Millions Of Needles Instead

Nanobioscience’s AdminPatch sounds like a pretty amazing way to deliver drugs into the body: it’s got a metal surface covered in millions of tiny microneedles that puncture the skin. You may instantly think “Ouch!” but since these are so small and pierce the skin shallow enough to avoid pain receptors, the system is apparently painless.It’s…

Samsung Demonstrates Folding OLED Cellphone, Vindicates Thousands of Ridiculous Concepts

Buried amongst the piles of Newer! Bigger! Better! TVs, pico projectors and paper-thin, flapping OLED screens at FPD in Japan was an absolute gem: a folding OLED phone concept from Samsung.
