This weekend, we tried one of those “personal shopping assistants” found in fancy supermarkets. In this case, the Giant Eagle “Market District” in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside neighborhood. The concept is that one walks around with a beeper, beeping and bagging as-you-go. At the checkout, all that’s left to do is beep the barcode on it, approve [...]

As the rumored release date of September 17th gets closer we are seeing more information about and photos of the Google Android-powered HTC Dream handset leak out. These new photos uncovered by engadget have me getting really excited about the Dream as it looks simple yet functional. It’s also exciting because Android is a totally [...]

Apparently the new technology they’re introducing is called “Blue Track” and is “based on a blue LED combined with [...]

It’s always good to see companies step up in times of need and T-Mobile is doing just that with Hurricane Gustav threatening the Gulf Coast. To aid those in the affected areas T-Mobile is opening up their WiFi hotspots so that connectivity can be maintained. Hotspots can be accessed free of charge at T-Mobile serviced [...]

Toshiba’s “SD Multi Tool” prototype is more than the average iClone. Pitched as a mobile internet device (MID) it has dual 960×480-resolution touchscreen displays, a Micro-SD card slot, HDMI, a USB port and a headphone jack. It’s 11.6 centimeters long by 7.2 wide.
As clever as it is, I fear we’re looking at a $1,000 Nintendo [...]

Taking stock of recent rumors, Miguel Suárez squeezes the high-performing slab into an Air-like chassis in his wonderful design. The only thing that gives me pause is the simple fact that whatever such a thing could do, it would do more given the space afforded in a less radical form.

The fourth generation of the great Fujitsu 8.9-inch touch screen Tablet PC has hit the FCC according to our friends at jkkmobile. The P1630 looks to be another incremental refresh with nothing major changing other than an updating of the processor. The P1620 is still one of the best mobile computers I have owned and [...]

Wake up to the smell of your notebook and be invigorated! Huh? That’s the idea behind ASUS’ newest notebook, the F6. It comes in several attractive color schemes, each with their own unique scent. Apparently, ASUS has infused the notebook with fragrance.
There’s no specific info how long the scent will last.
The variations include:
Floral Blossom (for [...]

TechCrunch started a big buzz with their call for a $200 web tablet that they started as a real project to get built. Things quickly got awfully quiet for a while and speculation grew that it was just another hopeful idea that wouldn’t see the light of day. Today Michael Arrington laid that speculation to [...]

Another week has flown by and lots of good tech has made the news. Netbooks dominate the news as they have for months and lots of movement in the smartphone area was noted. There are lots of highlights from the past week which are conveniently grouped here in case you missed them:

If, like me, you still think that the iPhone is a work of art and that the standard Apple dock is a tad perfunctionary then have I got news for you.
ASD have a real neat looking docking station that makes the 3Gesus phone look more like an art piece on a display stand - Click [...]

The Samsung X360 is pretty impressive.
Its size and weight (very light and very thin) and is ready to taunt the MacBook Air.
It has a 13.3-inch, 1200 x 800 pixel screen and by all reports is also very good.
It’s also all ported up, more so than Apple’s notebook: direct HDMI out, three USB ports, Express Card [...]

Just check this out.
Take the idea of the iPhone-style touch navigation and then times that by two.
This totally cool dual-sided transparent touch display from Teraokaseiko is definitely on the right track.
Perhaps someday it will develop beyond wicked games of, Naughts and Crosses, Battleship and Connect 4.
At the moment it’s just a monochrome 256 x 120 [...]

Yup - me reviewing a book!
I was as amazed as the rest of you when Liz from publishers Dorling Kindersley sent me this particular tome to read and review for this site!
But once I got it in my hands all became clear.
Cool Stuff Exploded sounds a tad dangerous and pretty much bad news for the [...]

Perhaps we should be saying “how you’ve shrunk” when we are talking about the price of 64GB flash drives. Reports last May had the 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Pro 2 Series priced at a whopping $5,000 USD. Today, VanDerLed brings the same 64GB in a USB stick that is slimmer, trimmer, and way, [...]

Once upon a time I wanted to be a fighter pilot, which is probably why I write so much about the biggest and baddest machines ever. My feeling then and now is that there’s nothing that can match the…
