With the big announcement just days away, it’s no surprise that some folks out there might be totin’ the Android-powered HTC Dream (G1) around. Between all of the Google developers, HTC product engineers, and T-Mobile employees involved, in-the-wild shots were bound to get out sooner or later. And now they have, on the blog of Mark “Rizzn” Hopkins. Rizzn got the shots through a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-spy, and passed’em on for the world to see. While there ...

So today Sony goes nuts and launched four new devices - all iPod and iPhone compatible including a HD Radio w/ tagging, CD Clock Radio, Docking Speaker and finally a Boombox! Yes Boombox. Did anyone else immediately think of this?! Yea … anyway thankfully the Sony model looks a lot better than that. For those of young ones of you who just asked yourself WTF is that - it’s called a GhettoBlaster - look it ...

Video conferencing phones weren’t all too popular in the past, but this new one from ASUS looks pretty wicked. Let’s rephrase that… it looks horrible, but we might just be able to overlook that. The AiGuru SV1 boasts a 7″ display, speakerphone, mic, and Wi-Fi so you can make calls via Skype without having to connect it to a computer. The best part of it all? In true Skype fashion, the calls are all free ...

I've been posting some trivial iPhone apps lately, well... I won't exactly say they're useless, but likely more for fun than for serious work. And so is this one, this cool app is called Sonic Lighter. The application is only showing up a fire lighter, at first it looks nothing special at all. But like what iPhone Savior says in its review: "The realistic flame reacts brilliantly to breath and wind input using the iPhone's ...

When the Lehman Brothers is finally swirling down the toilet drain (as nicely put in words by Andrew Sheppard's email post), the massive lay off is inevitable. It's estimated that there are around 29,000 Lehman Brothers employees have lost their jobs. But that's not all they're losing, guess what? Yup, they'll also are probably going have to give up the BlackBerry handsets in their pocket. Because they, the BlackBerry phones & email services, are apparently ...

Fresh off the billions of eyes that have been on the beautiful Beijing National Stadium, Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron have set their sights on NYC with this incredible 57-story residential tower, unveiled today. It consists of 145 unique apartments that are stacked into the sky like a Jenga tower that's already been well-poked by a party of well-lubricated players. Especially when you get up to the penthouse level—if you're motion sick, you might ...

John Jones, a paramedic working in the UK, was recently dismissed from his job after he placed a prawn (a crustacean similar to shrimp) on the chin of a dying man awaiting a jolt from a defibrillator and joked: "Let's see if we can cook this prawn." After the shock was administered he was heard to remark "360 joules won’t cook a prawn." If that wasn't enough, his colleague, Clive Greedy, looked on while eating ...

I'm always on the lookout for how organizations utilize systems to help improve their workflow, whether it be a manual solution or a technical one. I'm a firm believer in balancing technology with the right environment, letting technology get out of the way and do what it does best. The past three weeks have been no different as my daughter, Maggie, has been at St. Louis Children's Hospital, and I've noticed the hospital striking a ...

Incredibly I’m not sure whether I’m amused, bemused or just simply annoyed by this device. Most of us think of chic, technically smooth, and well modernist even futuristic, as terms that would describe a new device that we would even consider as a possible replacement for our current devices. I don’t think cute comes into most of our vocabularies when we consider a mobile device. My fascination, and somehow it has also become a psychological ...

EA Games pushes out an iPhone port Tetris, and sells it for $9.99. An independent developer goes and makes his own Tetris clone (as has been done on just about every single electronic device ever created since the dawn of man) called Tris and offers it for the world for free. This is all going to go perfectly smooth, right? Of course not. Tris’ developer Noah Witherspoon has received word from Apple legal that owners ...

Filed under: Handsets, Messaging, Others, T-Mobile Ready for some excitement in the form of watching a startup squirm as it waits for its product to gain traction? Take a glance at Peek, which is churning out a dedicated handheld that handles e-mail, a few chain forwards, and more e-mails when you're done with that. At first glance, one may consider such a one-trick-pony quite ridiculous, but it's hard to say what will end up catching ...

The ultimate Microsoft fanboy concept, Fenêtres 3.1 (or the Windows Window as we're insisting on calling it) is a normal house window decorated with all of the accouterments of the classic Windows 3.1 OS (along with the placeholder background from Windows XP). And yes, pulling down the blinds even brings up the dreaded BSoD. The designer truly thought of everything, except it's missing the boot disk you'll need to actually open the window or anything ...
