A UCI or user created interface made by a developer that goes by the name Coconut imitates the Apple iPod and iTune’s Cover Flow user interface. He’s now using this Cover Flow-like UI on his COWON D2 and constantly improves the interface. Coconut’s version of Cover Flow responds to stylus input. I don’t know if Apple should be worried. If Kevin Rose is correct that Apple will come out with a iTunes 8.0 soon, maybe ...

iHologram - iPhone application from David OReilly on Vimeo This little iHologram app is by far one of the coolest things we’ve seen done for the iPhone, but aside from drawing those jaw-dropping reactions from your friends, it pretty much belongs to the not-so-productive bunch of the group. Created by David OReilly, the illusion is created using a technique called anomorphosis which basically fools you into seeing 3D objects instead of 2D drawings. A constant ...

It has a 3.3-inch 480 x 272-pixel AMOLED screen, which is a capacitive touchscreen, and 500 MHz of dual-core processing power. T-DMB, G-Sensor (for gesture control) and dynamic dictionary is among its features. The COWON S9 Curve plays 40 hours of continuous music. Looks pretty expensive ...

Another sad day for Motorola.

Moto sales fell 26% and Bloomberg pegs actual sales at 26.1 million handset. Sony Ericsson, which have also been slipping very steeply, may soon find itself ahead of Motorola as well with 24.4 million sales. If you see ...

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a name yet. Shape and size it’s actually quite distinct even for a generic PMP-gamer. Specs include a 2.4-inch screen, 25fps 320 x 240-pixel playback for 3GP, AVI (native) and MPEG 4, 3GP, WMV, Quicktime (with conversion) and your basic MP3, WAV, WMA audio files. At the back is a 1.3 megapixel camera. I know that with the design, this goes easiest on your hand as a handheld NES gamer, but ...

But of course they did: There are so few appearance of low-end phones like GF-W168 to move me, the crystal-blue on the surface seems to be natural. In order to prevent wearing the keyboard, the keyboard is placed under a piece of ...

Not only is it a video and audio player, it also has T-DMB and a Sirf III GPS antenna. It even has a built-in phone charger. Most interesting is the onboard alcohol sensor, a personal breathalyzer for drivers to avoid the one carried by the police. How much for this wonder gadget? Just $300. [via aving]
