Belkin Develops First Performance … Laptop Dock?

First off, I was completely unaware it was possible to develop a performance laptop dock, but Belkin has done it. What makes this laptop expansion dock better than the average bear is the way it connects. This dock utilizes the ExpressCard slot of the laptop to sync. Using ExpressCard, rather than traditional USB, quadruples the…

Laser TV Technology: Plasma and LCD Killer?

Two companies blurted out some boisterous bluster today, saying they have laser TV technology that can smack down LCDs and plasma displays because their idea costs half the price, looks twice as good, is half the weight and thickness, and only uses a quarter of the electricity. Big talk. Aussie company Arasor and its stateside…

Samsung SCH-B600 Has a 10-Megapixel Camera Inside

Here’s what Samsung is calling “the world’s first super camera phone,” the Samsung SCH-B600. That’s a 10-megapixel digital camera in there, and the lens is long enough to let it zoom 3x optically. A neat trick: the phone is 6mm thinner and 10g lighter than Samsung’s 7-megapixel V770 camera phone it introduced last year. It…

Fujitsu Notebook-Slash-Turntable

This Fujitsu laptop has a giant touchwheel on top that lets the notebook function as a digital turntable. It’ll even connect wirelessly to an iPod for its music. You really can’t have this one, though. Not only is it a Japanese CEATEC unveilling, but its a prototype. Humbug, anyhow. Who the hell wants to scratch…

Until today. TMo just announced that they’re finally going 3G, starting in Q4 of 2006. Gizmodo…
