Filed under: Handsets, HTC, Rogers Wireless, Windows Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA Not that you can't snag an HTC Touch Diamond in Canada right now, but those loyal to Rogers are still waiting. As of this moment, we still can't locate the WinMo 6.1-based handset on the outfit's website, but MobileSyrup has it that the phone will soon be released for as low as $199.99 on a 3-year contract (with a minimum $45 voice / data ...

Emotiv's "mind-reading" controller is a press darling, mainly because it's really cool. Apparently, though, Emotiv won't have the headset ready to go for the planned December release, because it doesn't, strictly speaking, well, work. Based on electroencephalography technology (or EEG to us laymen), a properly functioning Epoc isn't out of the realm of possibility. But after a series of failed press appearances, starting just after the announcement and culminating in a glitchy gaming failure which ...

Come on, you didn't think Nokia's only response to the G1, iPhone, and Storm would be the 5800 XpressMusic, did you? Word on the ground at this week's Nokia World conference is that Espoo is planning a major announcement tomorrow -- and hey, is that a countdown timer to the keynote that just went live on Nokia's site? Interesting. Our pal and yours Robert Scoble says that Nokia execs are running around bragging that "the ...

Having heard from "sources", CVG are reporting that the next franchise to be given the Lego game treatment will be...well, whaddya know, Harry Potter. And that's all they know. No further info given. Then again, being a Lego game, do you really need further info? They're all, largely, the same game. Running, jumping, shooting/punching, collecting Lego bits. Just replace the IP, add a new theme song, then wonder aloud how long Traveller's Tales can get ...

While the websites of game retailers are not typically the most reliable place for rumors, we have just that: a rumor from a game retailer website. GameStop is taking pre-orders for upcoming GTAIV DLC, Grand Theft Auto IV: Lost and Damned. The thing is, GameStop points out that the packaging does not include a disc and that it's "downloadable content only." What's more, the retailer adds that the customers “must have an Xbox Live account” ...

Biggest giveaway is the 150w you can see there on the power brick. Jaspers are supposed to run quiter, use less power and run cooler, so if you're in the market for a 360, might want to look ...

The follow up to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed may be a more modern affair, if analyst Michael Pachter is correct. Pachter told us yesterday that the game will be set "hundreds of years in the future." No, not our future, but several hundred years after the events of the the original, which was primarily set in the 12th century. The Wedbush Morgan analyst dropped those details during a taping of GameTrailers' Bonus Round — in which ...

CNBC’s Jim Goldman quotes “a good source” claiming Microsoft are combining the Zune and technology from Danger (the company behind the Sidekick) to create a device offering “true competition to the iPhone”. Codenamed “Pink”, a prototype could be finished in time to unveil at CES 2009 in January. Goldman ...
