Siemens M65 Recalled for Possible Ear Damaging Tone

Here’s one phone we didn’t get in the states you can be happy about. Apparently the Siemens M65 is being recalled in Europe due to the fact it plays a potentially ear-damaging tone as it shuts off due to a low battery, even if you’re in the middle of a call. At least that’s what…

iMac G5 Spy Shot?

Thanks for all the well wishing, guys. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever gotten a “get well soon” card that used the term “shitload.” But I can’t sit eating crackers all morning, so you guys get some news. How about this picture of what may be the iMac G5? A faithful reader sent…

World’s First Treo 650 Pictures

And there you have it – the first pictures of the upcoming Treo 650. More pics to come. Can you say Bluetooth and new backlit keyboard? (Thanks, Michael!) Read – TREO ACE/650 CRITICAL INFO [TreoCentral] Update: More pictures after the jump. Looks like no Treo 600 peripherals will work with the 650, either. Somehow I…

Apple Inside

Ever since Apple came out with its iFruit (otherwise known as the iMac), designers have been grooving off Apple’s color palette. The iMac girl was among the first, a selection of curvaceous and scantily clad anime chicklets in your choice of iFruit colors. Many a night have I stayed up restlessly wishing I could have…

Paperformers

There are very few times that I wish I had a printer, but this is one of them. Paperformers combines paper models, pixel art, and Transformers to create tiny, paste-together bots that actually transform (albeit not in an overly fancy manner). Available in PDFs for easy printing, the site’s creator has something like sixty different…

Archos Gmini 400 (P)Reviewed

CNet has reviewed the Archos Gmini400, confirming my suspicions that it is indeed scientifically awesome. Sure it has some downsides, like a less-than-intuitive interface and no ability to multitask, but a 20GB player the size of the iPod with the ability to play back video and an integrated CompactFlash slot? What’s not to love? Okay,…

JetAudio iAudio M3 Review

There’s a really easy way to tell if you’d be interested in the JetAudio iAudio M3. If you like in-line remotes, give it a shot. If you can’t stand them – and I know there are some of you out there – don’t bother. The iAudio makes a claim to be the World’s Smallest 20GB…

RNC Security’s Wireless Helmet Cams

Over 200 of the patrol officers bussed in as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s ramp up to the Republican National Convention will be equipped with wirelessly networked helmet cameras. Each of the helmet cams will broadcast back to a central control room where officials will be able to monitor and compile a bigger…

Sponsor Attack!

So because I keep forgetting our sponsors, which really is an awful thing of me to do, I’m going to avoid putting them off and give them a quick shout out now. If you’d like to become part of our crack team of sponsors – and I use the term ‘crack’ liberally, here – we…

MSI Mega 516BT Bluetooth MP3 Player Reviewed

Trusted Reviews has taken the MSI Mega 516BT Bluetooth flash player out for a spin, yet despite a load of improvements over the previous models, like the addition of an SD/MMC expansion slot and the hard-to-miss Bluetooth, they still find it to be overall a dud. It’s not that the potential isn’t there. When it…

IBM ThinkCenter S50

It’s far from being the world’s smallest desktop PC, but I do think it’s interesting to see what IBM cooks up when it designs a PC for the Japanese market. Here it is (again) – the ThinkCentre S50, which despite being powered by only four tennis balls, manages to eke out speeds mysteriously close to…

Nokia Communicator 9300

PhoneMag is reporting that Nokia’s scaled-down Communicator 9300 will be unveiled in New York on September 8th. The 9300’s big brother, the 9500, has many of the features the 9300 will forgo, like Wi-Fi and integrated camera, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’ll be cheap. Nokia’s Svenska Dagbladet (!) has been quoted…

If there is a sexier term in the world than “neck ring designed to withstand multiple cycles in an autoclave,” then I don’t know want to hear it.

Ego Systems’ PCI Audio Amplifier

Ego Systems has announced the release of a new digital audio amplifier that, instead of sitting outboard like most ampls, rests in a conventional PCI slot.

Canon 10-Key USB Hub Calculator

When I first saw “Canon” in this press release, I expected some sort of new printer or scanner, naturally. But no, it’s one of these USB keypad things – they’re of particular use for people on laptops who miss the conventional 10-key of a full sized keyboard, and I’m sort of in love with them.…
