Fusion Garage’s Chandra Rathakrishnan did say he wanted to show off the new JooJoo webslate (formerly known as the CrunchPad and already mired in controversy) to as many people as possible in their webcast yesterday , and it seems CNET were first in the queue . They’re impressed by the hardware, certainly – the 1,366 x 768 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen is described as “gorgeous”,...

Unusually-shaped peripherals are always good to see, and this wireless combo trackpad and mini QWERTY thumbboard looks to be a nifty addition to an HTPC setup. Boasting a roughly 30ft range using the included 2.4GHz wireless USB dongle, you get both mousing control with a 2.8-inch trackpad and text-entry with a backlit keyboard. Video demo after the cut Unfortunately it doesn’t look as though...

We learned back in October that the Pantech Impact was coming to the AT&T network in time for the holiday season. What we didn’t hear back in October was exactly when the device would be offered. The Impact handset is now available on the AT&T Wireless network for $99.99 after a mail-in rebate. We already know some of the specifications and features of the device, but I will run them...

One of Qualcomm’s more low-key demonstrations from today is actually the one thing you can try most readily yourself. Skifta aims to make media shifting more straightforward, using a single client PC or Mac that can then be accessed by any DLNA and UPnP client in your home or remotely. The system works using a simple web-based interface which will work on your desktop or cellphone browser (the...

I have a splitting headache. There was so much real news today, mostly Android -y, we happily skipped this junk: GM's Wi-Fi, Apple Store POS, Virgin/Helio, Xbox Sky and a Blu-ray player only dumb people will buy. Dun dun DUN. GM's offering in-car internet for $500 and +$29 a month. Great! This is a stupid thing to get—think about devices like the MiFi , and ask yourself who would buy this. Plus,...

What looks set to be HTC’s new flagship, the HTC HD2 – aka the HTC Leo – seems even closer to release, at least according to a slide dropped into Pocketnow’s inbox.

In terms of reliability we’re filing this latest rumor right next to our trusty salt cellar, but given the general unpredictability of the smartphone market right now it’s possible all the same. DigiTimes are quoting their usual mysterious “Taiwan handset makers” who are claiming that Microsoft plan a dual-platform strategy with Windows Mobile. Rather than kill off Windows...

Ok, so my current personal phone is a Helio Ocean, (which, i'll note, pretty much ended as i expected). It was a holdover phone until i could figure out what mobile device i wanted. Lo and behold, we've now got the latest iPhone, the Palm Pre, and the Blackberry Storm to pick from. iPhones are fragile [...]

If you regularly miss phonecalls because your TV or music is turned up too loud, or you want to avoid that desperate hunt-for-the-remote before the answerphone picks up, the TV Silencer may be for you. It may not be pretty, but it can automatically mute your TV or stereo, or even pause your DVD, whenever a call comes in.

The sneaky Pantech Aladdin is hiding a slide-down keyboard. (Credit: AT&T by way of Engadget Mobile ) Pantech seems to have a thing for slider phones, if the Matrix , Matrix Pro , and the Helio Ocean 2 are any indication. The latest Pantech Aladdin continues that trend with a candy-bar form ...

Helio Ocean 2 from Virgin Mobile is built originally by Pantech. The general look remains much the same, but this model brings improvements on the original. The Helio Ocean 2 has smoother lines and a better color scheme as well. The keypad is convenient to use and the new dual-mode optical/mechanical d-pad works quite well. The [...]
