Take a standalone camera, set it up in a room and plug it into a power source, and have its live video stream sent out to the world (or privately to your own feed). For a while now you have only been able to view your Dropcam stream from a PC or iPhone, but now you can take your home invasion fears/checking in on baby to you Android phone.<br /><br />Dropcam has launched their app for Android, and if you already own a Dropcam device you are good to go. Simply enter your account info and you will be plugged in. Don’t have the camera already? The Dropcam app will at least let you view a few public streams in the meantime. Get it now in the Android Market.<br /><br />Dropcam Brings its Video Streams to Android Smartphones<br /><br />Cloud-cam service leader delivers unmatched video intelligence for users on the go<br /><br />SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., February 2, 2011 - Dropcam, the trendsetter in intelligent wi-fi cameras and personal video streaming services, today announced the availability of the Dropcam App on the Android Marketplace. This free app allows Android smartphone users to access their Dropcam cameras and keep a watchful eye on what they care about and never miss a moment. With the debut of its second mobile app, Dropcam continues its rise as an agent of change at the intersection of video, data and the cloud.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7833147002766923304?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-75348253863023298202011-02-03T02:41:00.001+07:002011-02-03T02:41:38.390+07:00Hey boys and girls, it’s time for another Phandroid Phancast, the podcast bringing you all the Android news and discussion you crave. This week we have an extra sweet treat for you as we will be following up live right after Google’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb event (you can watch that live, too). What will we be discussing? Maybe a new web version of the Android Market? Google Music? Awesome new Honeycomb features we had no idea existed? All that and more, you won’t want to miss it.<br /><br />Tune in live at 2PM EST over at BlogTalkRadio or via the player below. Old shows will loop until then.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7534825386302329820?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-47486100089823667842011-02-03T02:40:00.002+07:002011-02-03T02:41:22.296+07:00The new Android Market website is now live and there are a botload of features (see what I did there?). Let’s take a look at some of the specific features you should know about. First of all, the Android Market website is now a full browsing client for Android Market, displaying every app you could possibly imagine with categories, searching, suggestions and much more.<br /><br />If you take a look at Phandroid on Android Market you can see my favorite feature by far: installing directly from the web.<br /><br />You MUST be logged into the same Google Account that you use with your Android device for this to work, but if you’re logged in it will show you permissions, allow you to continue if you agree, select a credit card, and instantly the app will begin downloading on your phone should you choose to continue. And oh yeah… we’re finally seeing the opportunity for in-app purchases!<br /><br />The entire interface is clean and enjoyable with beautiful screenshots, other applications from the developer or similar apps, reviews and all the awesomeness you would expect with Android Market on the web. The also make it incredibly easy to tweet an app:<br /><br />For example, I just tweeted the Phandroid App so RETWEET IT!<br /><br />I’m still not seeing promotional videos, but perhaps that’s because I haven’t found an app that offers one. I’ve also not been able to log into my Google Account to directly install apps onto my phone…<br /><br />Can you get in? What are YOUR favorite features of the new Android Market?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4748610008982366784?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-6413999513323749782011-02-03T02:40:00.001+07:002011-02-03T02:40:48.454+07:00Just last week, Google was talking about how unsatisfied they are with the Android market and developers’ inability to make money the way they want and need to. If you haven’t already heard, the Android market has gotten its long-awaited web-enabled counterpart, but Google was also working on the very thing that haunted their nightmares.<br /><br />Today, they’ve announced that a new SDK specifically for in-app content purchases is available for developers who use micro-transactions as a means of generating revenue. The obvious will all be possible: downloadable game levels, virtual currency, and unlocking certain features or premium versions of a game or app will all be possible without the advent of a third-party solution.<br /><br />It’s just one of the many things Google’s doing to not only pull more developers to Android, but to also keep them here. With this, the cloud-centric Android market, and Honeycomb, I can’t see how any one developer isn’t excited for Android’s future, on phones, tablets, or otherwise.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-641399951332374978?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-74723977586097382222011-02-03T02:34:00.000+07:002011-02-03T02:40:10.112+07:00<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-39576" title="android-market-webstore" src="http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/android-market-webstore-550x329.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="329" /></p><br />Here it is folks, the brand spanking new Android Market Webstore.

The existing Yukon platform -- featured in HP's dv2 -- just got an upgrade in the form of a dual-core AMD Neo chip, but things will really start to get exciting later this year with the introduction of Congo, which will pair a dual-core Neo with much better graphics and a more modern chipset. Perks in Congo, which is based on the M780G chipset and sports ATI Radeon HD 3200 IGP graphics, include hardware decoding for HD formats, DirectX 10 gaming, love for DisplayPort, HDMI and eSATA, and Hybrid Graphics potential for pairing the integrated chipset with discrete graphics. The hope is to compete well against Intel's CULV and NVIDIA's 9400M in the low-cost thin-and-light space, and if the price stays down and performance pans out, Congo just might.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/amd-plans-congo-chipset-for-a-future-world-of-thin-and-lights/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-6535379463238596061?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-5056446341645197822009-06-12T17:04:00.001+07:002009-06-12T17:04:39.662+07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&amp;RequestTimeout=500&amp;calledFromFrame=N&amp;application_id=194518&amp;fcc_id=%27BEJ55LH95UA"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/6-11-09lhfcc.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> LG's LH-series wireless HDTVs just made their debut in South Korea last month, and it looks like they're on their way to a Stateside launch soon -- there's the 55LH85, sitting pretty in Uncle Sam's FCC workshop. Of course, the real noise with these sets is the ASW1000 Media Box, which has three HDMI jacks, a pair of component inputs, antenna in, and VGA, all of which it can wireless send to your set from 10 meters (32.8 feet) away at 60GHz. Sadly, you can't just tuck it away, since it needs line of sight or close to it to work -- it'll bounce the signal off walls, but placing it right next to the TV won't so great, according to the manual. Still, it's definitely cool tech -- let's hope ol' Sammy gets through with it soon so we can try it ourselves.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/lg-lh-series-wireless-hdtvs-hit-the-fcc/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-505644634164519782?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-3962121099091107122009-06-12T17:03:00.001+07:002009-06-12T17:03:54.110+07:00<div align="center"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/mitsu-cea-top000.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Toshiba already showed us what its freshest line of HDTVs looks like, and now its Mitsubishi's turn. The outfit was on hand in NYC to showcase a few of its now-shipping sets, including the 3D-ready Home Theater line and its speaker-infused Unisen crew. We won't bore you with the specs (which can be found here and here, respectively), but we will confess that the 82-inch WD-82737 has us squirming uncontrollably.

According to Boy Genius Report, what we're looking at here is allegedly Samsung's Android-powered Bigfoot for T-Mobile, said to be attacking the high end of the carrier's smartphone line thanks to a 3-inch capacitive AMOLED display, full QWERTY, 3 megapixel camera, and naturally, HSDPA. If we had to guess, this is probably a newer version of the same product concept that we'd seen in that roadmap a few weeks back -- Sammy probably started with its Beat DJ (or an Ocean 2) and worked backwards from there to get to the retail version they wanted to launch. We're told it'll launch "like, really soon," so would-be G1 or myTouch 3G buyers might want to hold on for a hot second.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/is-this-t-mobiles-samsung-bigfoot-with-android-amoled-and-qwe/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7732769171682205757?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-58312810389122735082009-06-12T17:00:00.001+07:002009-06-12T17:00:47.444+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/corporate/news/articleffnr_0293.html"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/fujifilm-finepix-z300-06-11-09.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fujifilm has laid a little low since it stormed into CeBIT and PMA with its latest slate of cameras, but it looks like it's now back to slowly trotting out new models one at a time, like this just-announced FinePix Z300. As you can see above, this one stays fairly close to the previous Z200fd model in terms of design, with the notable exception of a touchscreen on the backside that seems to replace just about every button but the bare essentials. Otherwise, you can expect the same 10-megapixels and 5x optical zoom as before, along with image stabalization, an apparently improved macro mode, ISO settings up to 1600 and, of course, your choice of four different colors. No word on a release 'round here just yet, but folks in Japan will be able to pick this one up on June 20th for ¥40,000, or just about $400.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/fujifilm-debuts-touchscreen-based-finepix-z300-camera/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-5831281038912273508?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-29896164260423186042009-06-12T16:57:00.001+07:002009-06-12T16:59:50.903+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2009/06/10/6-core-nehalem-coming-this-year/1"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/10/nehalem.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> It's a bit of a whisper on the wind, but bit-tech says Intel's got six-core Nehalem processors in the works for later this year.

At night a SoftWave sensor-equipped headband collects data pertaining to your sleep habits (or lack of), which you can then parse on your PC (via SD card). It's like having a University sleep clinic right there in your flop house! And if that isn't enough, the device's SmartWake alarm clock can be set to get you out of bed at your "natural awakening point," decreasing the grogginess one feels when waking from Deep sleep. Order now for $399 and get free shipping. Sort of pricey, sure, but much more cost effective than that $1.5 million dollar floating bed -- which doesn't actually look that comfortable, at all.

The device looks like it would contain one or more loft sensors (in one photo it is shown installed in a snowboard) and a microprocessor subsystem to determine loft time. There are of course, no guarantees that a product like this will ever see the light of day, but we sure hope so: runner favoritism must end.

That'll run you 488,000 South Korean won (or about $389) which, as you might expect, will get you a player that's otherwise identical to the previous model, including the same 4.3-inch WQVGA display, a built-in DMB TV tuner, a microSD card slot for additional storage, and iriver's trademark Spinn controls, to name a few features. No word if this particular model will be making an appearance when the line makes its US debut this fall but, if it does, you can be sure iriver will have already moved on to bigger and better things in Korea.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/iriver-p35-wifi-pmp-gets-bumped-up-to-32gb/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-6512690754760338430?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-35279489186688300502009-06-12T16:53:00.001+07:002009-06-12T16:53:57.492+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://news.prnewswire.com/ViewContent.aspx?ACCT=109&amp;STORY=/www/story/06-11-2009/0005042454&amp;EDATE="><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/lg-50ps80-plasma.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Without a doubt, the next big thing in the world of HDTVs is internet capabilities. With Toshiba just shipping its own web-enabled sets this week, LG Electronics is making sure it doesn't fall too far behind by floating a few of its own NetCast models out to the open market. Originally unveiled at CES, these HDTVs are the first from the company with built-in Netflix streaming support, and if you're curious about model numbers, it's the 47-inch 47LH50 LCD HDTV and the 50-inch 50PS80 plasma that are available today. LG tells us that the 42-inch 42LH50 LCD and 60-inch 60PS80 plasma should hit later this summer, but if you're looking to buy now, you'll have to pony up $1,999 for the 47LH50 or 50PS80.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/lgs-netflix-friendly-47lh50-and-50ps80-netcast-hdtvs-now-shippi/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-3527948918668830050?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-993591755076087512009-06-12T16:52:00.000+07:002009-06-12T16:53:12.244+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.archos.com/products/mp3_players/archos_3/index.html?country=gb&amp;lang=en"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/6-11-09archos3.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Not much detail on this yet, but Archos just announced the Archos 3 touchscreen media player.

Those include the previously announced Archos 10s "MiniPC," which hangs onto some mostly identical specs to the Archos 10 but packs 'em in a slimmer and lighter package, and the all new Archos 13 (pictured above), which is a full-fledged 13-inch ultraportable with a 1.2GHz Celeron ULV processor and some fairly standard specs across the board. As if that wasn't enough, Archos has also partnered with France's Ministry of Education to make a Classmate-based laptop available to students in the country, which will also include a one-year subscription to an online course service for about $400. Still no word on price for the Archos10s, unfortunately, but it'll apparently be available later this month in both three-cell and six-cell versions, while the Archos13 will run about $800 when it rolls out closer to the end of the summer.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/archos-rolls-out-archos10s-archos13-laptops-classmate-based-st/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4950737787942555138?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-8790099695504149422009-06-12T16:50:00.000+07:002009-06-12T16:51:26.279+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archos_9/index.html?country=de&amp;lang=en"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/6-11-09archos9.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Archos is currently having an event in France, and while we're still expecting some sort of Android announcement, the company's leading off with the Archos 9, a nine-inch Windows 7 tablet. It's basically a netbook in tablet form, with an Atom Z515 processor, 80GB disk, Bluetooth, and dual DVB-T antennas -- yep, Archos has brought back the UMPC. No word on pricing or availability yet, we'll let you know.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update</span>: Sounds like a 1.2GHz processor -- not exactly a rocket, but probably adequate for a stripped-down Windows 7 build. We're also hearing September / October availability, in line with Windows 7, and a €450 ($633) pricetag.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update 2</span>: So much for our hopes -- the event is now over and no Android announcements were made. Charbax from techvideoblog (who is at the event) says we'll see more info on September 15.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update 3</span>: As you'd expect, ArchosLounge is on the scene and they've nabbed some hands-on pics.

The games were the same Richocet and Burnout Paradise demos we got to play with at E3, but hey, now it's celebrities looking silly on camera instead of us, right? Some are hypothesizing that everyone had to wear the red jumpsuits to compensate for the bright studio lighting and lack of a uniform background behind the players, but it could have just been a Fallon flourish. We're looking into it -- in the meantime, check the video below.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Update: We just hit up Fallon's producer, who told us the suits were just for fun, so that's that.

Eberhard claims that after he and Mark Tapenning founded Tesla, he was summarily pushed out of the company by Musk, wrongfully denied his severance package, and then disparaged both publicly and within the company -- and on top of it all, Musk sent the second Roadster produced out for "endurance testing" where it was wrecked instead being sold to Eberhard as promised. Ouch. Interestingly, the core of the lawsuit directly mirrors the suit filed former PR director David Vespremi over the same series of events, so it seems like there's a pattern here, but we'll see how much of this is true when Tesla and Eberhard face off in the courtroom -- our friends at <em>Autoblog Green</em> just received this statement from legendarily-prickly Tesla PR spokesperson Rachel Konrad:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote> This lawsuit is a fictionalized, inaccurate account of Tesla's early years -- it's twisted and wrong, and we welcome the opportunity to set the record straight.

Despite looking nearly a century old in these hands-on shots, the laptop seems to be pretty modern under the hood, with SSD, DisplayPort, eSATA, WWAN, a 14.1-inch WXGA+ LED backlit display, 5-in-1 multicard reader... the list goes on. It's all packed in at around 0.83-inches thick (including a built-in disc drive), and under four pounds, which makes Apple sound a little silly for crowing about packing a little SD card slot into its latest unibody lineup. Word is that the build quality hasn't been traded in for the slimness, and while there's no word on price, hopefully it won't be too much more than the T400, which currently starts out at $750.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/hollywood-rip-ride-rockit-gets-its-own-specifications-breakdown/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-9090901991733354642?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-14624474408151732362009-06-12T16:44:00.000+07:002009-06-12T16:45:48.791+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&amp;newsId=20090611005539&amp;newsLang=en"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/sleek-audio-ct6-with-wirele.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> It's been quite some time since Sleek Audio introduced its first set of custom tuned earphones, but now that folks are growing anxious for a true SA6 followup, it has gone and done the right thing by introducing the CT6. If you'll recall, Sleek decided to add Kleer's wireless technology to its original SA6 buds back in October of last year, and evidently that went over extraordinarily well. To that end, the CT6 packs Kleer's tech right from the factory, and they can even go back to wired mode thanks to the removable swivel cables. Improving upon the prior model, these boast up to 35dB of noise reduction as well as a custom tuning option that tweaks 'em to your preferences before you buy. Just think -- you can take that whole "equalizing" thing into your own hands today for just $350 (sans wireless) or $450 (with Kleer).<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/sleek-audio-adds-kleer-to-custom-tuned-ct6-earphones/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-1462447440815173236?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-7708885527669677442009-06-12T16:43:00.002+07:002009-06-12T16:44:37.309+07:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://sarah.thesharps.us/2009-06-07-20-00.cherry"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/090611-usb3-01.jpg" vspace="4" align="right" border="0" hspace="4" /></a>The NEC USB 3.0 controller is due to hit the streets this month, and already Sarah Sharp (the, um, "Geekess") has been able to crank out a Linux driver for the device.

HP's newly unveiled Pavilion dv2z just so happens to have a bit of fresh silicon within, as AMD's latest Neo chips are front and center in the configuration options. The thin-and-light machine can be ordered with single- or dual-core AMD Athlon Neo and Turion Neo dual-core processors, and if you're looking for specifics, you'll find the new 1.6GHz Athlon Neo X2 L335 and 1.6GHz Turion Neo X2 L625. Other specs on the 12.1-incher include a LED-backlit WXGA panel, optional Blu-ray drive, discrete ATI Radeon graphics, up to 500GB of HDD space, a built-in webcam, WiFi, optional WWAN (Verizon, Sprint or AT&amp;T) and a 6-cell battery. It's up for order right now starting at $599.99, but if you're looking to leave that aged Neo MV-40 behind, you'll have to pony up a bit more than that.

Shown off along with scores of other me-too MIDs at Computex, the KAX15 is based around Intel's existing Menlow platform and sports the polarizing tilt-and-slide mechanism for unmasking the QWERTY keyboard. As for specs, we're told that it packs an 800 x 480 display and an 800MHz processor, but further details have yet to flow.

Slated to launch in earnest sometime this summer, the new line contains just a few standout inclusions. The iPhone-friendly iConnect Keyboard (pictured above) and HTPC-centric Media Keyboard both look like formidable options for those needing a new set of keys, and there are also a gaggle of mice, webcams and headsets to choose from if those items are more your style. Unfortunately, true innovation is still few and far betwixt, but at least your USB ports will appreciate the effort.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/ihome-shows-its-input-peripheral-side-with-lifeworks-tie-up/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7821097259190480341?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-53777269156356142072009-06-12T16:40:00.000+07:002009-06-12T16:41:17.905+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/husqvarna/38733/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/husqvarna-200906011-06-600.jpg" alt="Husqvarna's Panthera Leo is the mower of the future, for your lawn of today" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Concept cars are a dime a dozen around these parts -- but concept lawnmowers?

The video after the break will make their day. Students at Duke University have come up with a way to use phone accelerometers to capture gestures with surprising precision, allowing them to pipe those motions through a character recognition algorithm and, hey presto, turn flapping hands into letters and numbers. The prototype app is called PhonePoint Pen, and while right now the process looks painfully slow, with large, precise motions required, with a few months or years of refinements you might just be able to jot down a quick text to a friend while running between terminals, all without putting down the double latte that just cost you $8 at the airport food court.

So we figured you'd want to know that its WB1000 compact with those smokin' analog battery and capacity gauges is now on sale for KRW548,000 or about $418 closer to home. The 12.2 megapixel WB1000 features a 24-mm wide-angle 5x zoom Schneider-KREUZNACH lens and 1/2.33-inch CCD with 720p video record mode in H.264 format, max ISO 3200 sensitivity (at 3 megapixel resolution), and Samsung's Dual IS optical and digital image stabilization to compensate for hand jitter. The viewer won't disappoint either with a full 3-inch 480x260 AMOLED display rocking the backside. Why should you care? Check the video after the break to see how AMOLED compares to the TFT-LCD found on the Canon SD990 IS under different lighting and viewing angles.

Today Seiko-Epson announced the start of volume production for its 0.94-inch HTPS-TFT LCD capable of a WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixel) resolution for 3LCD projectors pushing 1080p. The panel supports a brightness of 5000 lumens (or more!) using Epson's D7 process technology while achieving "higher than ever contrast" through its C2 Fine inorganic alignment layer tech. What this means is simple: expect to see a new brightness and contrast champion PowerLite Home Cinema projector announced at the end of Summer, as CEDIA tradition dictates, with product shipping by end of the year.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/epsons-wuxga-htps-tft-panel-hints-at-ultra-bright-high-contras/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-1583690694287994310?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-64752313053785367272009-06-12T16:33:00.000+07:002009-06-12T16:34:17.917+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;langpair=ja%7Cen&amp;u=http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20090611_283927.html"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/casio-ex-h10-quarter-view.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Casio's just pushed another 10x zoom compact camera into the market with its EXILIM EX-H10.

The DL-L60AV gives you on/off and dimming functions as well as the ability to adjust the light in seven shades of white to warm up or cool down the glow. Best of all, they screw into a standard E26 socket for a one-to-one exchange with your existing ocean warmers. The features of the remote control are still unclear (lighting zone support, range of operation, etc.) but it appears to work with multiple-lamps in parallel which is a nice touch. However, we'd like to see Sharp integrate a Z-Wave or ZigBee chipset so we could link these directly (without special wall-switches) into a tricked-out home automation and power managment system. The DL-series start at ¥3880 (about $40) for simple LED lights before hitting ¥7980 (about $82) for the fully-equipped DL-L60AV and begin shipping July 15th in Japan.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/sharps-remote-controlled-led-light-bulbs-generate-7-shades-of-s/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-6113147269568405024?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-53908422827843703202009-06-12T14:08:00.001+07:002009-06-12T14:11:38.217+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20090610/171549/"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/oled-projector-prototype-rm-eng.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Looking for a way to differentiate among the ever-expanding niche of pocket projectors, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF) of Germany are working on an OLED panel-based mini projector, using static optical systems and not the usual reflective system à la DLP. Currently being shown at SID Display Week 2009, the decidedly green picture (seems to be the norm with OLED prototypes these days) forms via a 6-inch VGA screen from 30 to 50 centimeters away, and the machine itself takes up just about ten cubic centimeters of space. Despite all the faith, there's still the rather nasty problem of luminance, which the scientists estimate needs to be about four or five times as bright as current levels -- but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/researchers-ditch-dlp-develop-oled-panel-based-mini-projector/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-5390842282784370320?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-31013348041346039272009-06-12T14:07:00.001+07:002009-06-12T14:08:50.833+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&amp;STORY=/www/story/06-10-2009/0005041692&amp;EDATE="><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/cessna-aircell-06-10-09.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While Aircell's high-speed in-flight internet service and other similar options are quickly becoming commonplace on commercial airlines, folks on private jets have so far had nothing to do but sit in their plush leather seats and drown their sorrows in a selection from the on-board wine cabinet. That dire situation now looks to be changing, however, as Cessna has just announced a partnership with Aircell that'll see the 3G-based in-flight WiFi service available as a factory option on its Citation XLS+, Citation Sovereign and Citation X business jets. As if that wasn't enough, it seems that the upgrade may even be eligible for bonus tax depreciation under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, so really, you might as well just get that new plane. It practically pays for itself.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/cessna-to-offer-aircell-high-speed-internet-on-citation-private/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-3101334804134603927?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-27673661097106189812009-06-12T14:05:00.000+07:002009-06-12T14:07:26.793+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://twitter.com/cabel/status/2087193149"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2009/06/iphone-3g-s-fcc-comparison.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> You'd think -- starting from the moment you saw the glossy sheen of the iPhone 3G S to the waning seconds of this year's WWDC keynote when you realized that there would be no magical second model announced -- that the near-constant drone of matte iPhone rumors leading up to this week's festivities were all fake. But were they really? It's been astutely noted by @cabel (yes, we just threw out a Twitter handle there) that the matte black backing seen last month has totally matching information -- model number and FCC ID alike -- with the actual device. We suppose it could just be an unfinished component, but as Daring Fireball notes, this could mean that Apple toyed with a matte finish early in the 3G S' design but ultimately abandoned it -- or even more intriguingly, it could've been a unique one-off trap designed to identify leakers who'd otherwise tried to hide their identities. It sounds like a pretty far-fetched conspiracy theory at first, yes -- but we're aware of at least one wireless carrier that actively puts out bogus information to achieve the same effect, and you might remember that Microsoft was rumored to have done the same thing with prototype Zunes back in the day. Either way, it's a crying shame, because that glossless finish has left an indelible mark on our hearts that won't soon heal.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/matching-ids-suggest-fake-matte-iphones-may-not-have-been-so-fak/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-2767366109710618981?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-70021085398615830362009-06-11T17:08:00.001+07:002009-06-11T17:10:19.462+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://media.universalorlando.com/newsreleases/detail.aspx?id=228"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/mini-hrr-rendering_small.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Generally speaking, we don't much care about the nuts and bolts behind a thrill ride. If it thrills, it's a winner; if not, it's a failure. But the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a horse of a different color, and being that it's described as the planet's most technologically advanced coaster, we figured it prudent to pass along the details that only true nerds could appreciate. For starters, each rider will have access to a touchpad in order to select their own ride soundtrack from a 30 song library. There's also a half dozen cameras in the ride vehicle alongside eight others along the track, all of which combine to assemble a take-home video of the experience if you'd like. Speaking of, check out the demo vid just past the break, and look for this to open to the public later this summer.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/hollywood-rip-ride-rockit-gets-its-own-specifications-breakdown/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7002108539861583036?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-42664892803973786062009-06-11T17:07:00.000+07:002009-06-11T17:08:31.057+07:00<div align="center"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2009/06/toshiba-regz-hands-000.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> We just bumped into the MakerBot industries folks and got a quick look at the CupCake CNC rapid prototyping machine (3D printer, for us luddites). The thing extrudes Lego-type plastic into fairly detailed shapes, and MakerBot sells it as a kit for $750, or fully assembled for $2,500. What's most exciting is that the MakerBot folks are now working on a 3D scanner kit, which once combined with the CupCake CNC will make a full-on homegrown replicator. Diamond Age, here we come! A quick demo of the CupCake is after the break.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4266489280397378606?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-68409325010112500952009-06-11T17:06:00.000+07:002009-06-11T17:07:21.290+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.ocztechnology.com/aboutocz/press/2009/342"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/ocz-agility-ssd-drive.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> OCZ Technology seems to always be toiling away on new solid state drives, but it's rare to find any from the company that are priced for the average Joe / Jane.

These 2.5-inch SATA II SSDs promise 230MB/sec read and 135MB/sec write speeds, along with 64MB of cache and a two-year warranty. We pinged OCZ for details surrounding pricing and availability, so here's the dirt: the trio of models will be available in a fortnight or so for $129.99 (30GB), $219.99 (60GB) and $349.99 (120GB).<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/ocz-intros-2-5-inch-agility-ssd-line-120gb-for-349-99/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-6840932501011250095?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-8840421833914510432009-06-11T17:05:00.000+07:002009-06-11T17:06:00.417+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW387ZM/A"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/04/mac_gtx_285_eng.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We got plenty of advance word about this one, but EVGA has finally gotten fully official with its Mac Pro-friendly version of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 285 graphics card, which is now available to order from the Apple Store for the not so low price of $450.

Of course, Redmond's made it clear that the final product will look a lot different -- probably something more like the press pic -- so don't get crazy over this, but at least everyone's burning curiosity has been satiated.

Two things caught our eye -- up first, the Scribble and Write, which is a Text and Learn-style device applied to writing skills. Designed for children about the age of three, it teaches basic letter-writing skills, making use of a roughly 3-inch LCD and attached "pen" to trace over the letters. This one is actually available now, and runs $21.99. The second item we checked out is called the Chat &amp; Count -- and it looks incredibly similar to a candybar style mobile phone. The one we checked out was actually a prototype, and not the final product, but it's aimed at children starting at 18 months old, and teaches basic phone skills (believe us, the kids need those), numbers and counting. It's also got plenty of ringtones and custom noises built in, which start out super cute but would likely be... grating over time. The Chat &amp; Count will be hitting shelves sometime around December of this year, and will run you $14.99. Both of these products join Leapfrog's Learning Path offerings (which also includes products like the Tag Junior we've previously seen).<br />[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/leapfrog-scribble-and-write-chat-and-count-hands-on/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-118432649894832910?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-69228774328117718082009-06-11T17:01:00.001+07:002009-06-11T17:02:47.778+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://investor.palm.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=389058"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/palm-pr-2009-01-08_08.jpg" alt="http://www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/palm-pr-2009-01-08_08.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You sort of knew this was coming after he shepherded the Pre to launch, but Palm just announced that Jon Rubinstein is taking over as CEO, replacing Ed Colligan after sixteen years in the top spot. After a short break, Colligan will join the very vocal Roger McNamee at major Palm investor Elevation Partners, so he won't be totally out of the loop, but the shuffle is still somewhat unexpected -- and the Palm / Apple bloodlines just got even deeper with the Rubinstein, the ex-head of the iPod and Mac divisions, now totally in charge.<br />[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/jon-rubinstein-takes-over-as-palm-ceo/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-6922877432811771808?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-16666732510199808942009-06-11T17:00:00.000+07:002009-06-11T17:01:25.034+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody/814/1"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/6-10-09mbp.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> We've only just started playing with our new 13-inch MacBook Pro, but the cats at iFixit have different ideas -- they've already torn one open for your morbid viewing pleasure. Interestingly, battery replacement involves only the removal of a couple tri-wing screws and a sticker, so the situation isn't totally dire, although we'd obviously prefer if Apple had left well enough alone. Other than that and the addition of FireWire and the SD slot, things seem to be about the same as the original unibody MacBook, but don't take our word for it -- hit the read link and feast your eyes.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/13-inch-macbook-pro-gets-torn-apart/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-1666673251019980894?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-10833793900880224572009-06-11T16:58:00.000+07:002009-06-11T17:00:13.848+07:00<div align="center"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/2009-06-10kindledxpage-1.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="1" hspace="4" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Well, well -- what's this? Amazon's Kindle DX just arrived a little earlier than we expected, looking every bit like the big brother to the Kindle 2 it did at launch. Seriously -- apart from new, less comfortable keyboard, externally you're just looking at a Kindle 2 with a bigger screen. Turn it on, though, and you immediately notice the orientation sensor, which is almost too sensitive.

We spoke with Edward Bullister, an MIT grad with a PhD and some Intel connections, who is hard at work on the device, and while we admire his enthusiasm and DIY ethic, we'd say he seems a little overly optimistic when it comes to the tech necessary to pull this off.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">His plan is to stick a Moorestown chip inside, with Windows XP as a primary OS, but perhaps a dual-boot option to Moblin. He's totally serious about the two fold-up LED backlit LCDs, though he admits the dual-sided screens depicted in the renders will have to wait for a later generation. More incredulously, he claims the device will have "all day" battery life, and be ready to ship by the end of the year. Yeah... we doubt it. No manufacturer is lined up currently, and he seems pretty distant from even having a working prototype. Still, we can't deny how great the form factor would be for pounding out a writing assignment on a plane, or wowing friends and family members (though we're not stoked about his ideas for using an external mouse as a primary input). So, best of luck Edward -- we'd love to be proven wrong on this one.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/ctds-incredulous-dragonfly-concept-in-the-flesh-needs-a-few/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-6640389585698589861?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-46338820796156211672009-06-11T16:53:00.000+07:002009-06-11T16:55:12.267+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://web.virginmobileusa.com/broadband"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/c3_larger1_vmmc76_gif.gif" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Virgin Mobile's just announced a prepaid 3G service under the Broadband2Go moniker, which will offer customers a contract-free internet option.

The $10 bundles will expire ten days after purchase, while the rest of them will expire after 30 days. Virgin's Broadband2Go will operate on Sprint's network in conjunction with Novatel Wireless.

We can certainly buy that this is dead-on real, since... well, it looks real, and also because the X1's also available in both shades. We're still not convinced it outshines its predecessor for sheer sex appeal, but an 8.1 megapixel camera upgrade is hard to argue with, isn't it? Anyhow, with this many units seemingly floating around in the wild, let's hope we're not too far off from an official announcement.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/sony-ericsson-xperia-x2-shows-up-again-this-time-in-silver/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4596805389543051542?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-22018671861774771602009-06-11T16:52:00.001+07:002009-06-11T16:52:54.568+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/econo-keys-releases-mobile-keyboard-with-reverse-side-touchpad,854895.shtml"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/econokeys-06-10-09.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not all that easy to make a keyboard that stands out these days, but the folks at Econo-Keys have managed to do just that with their new EK-76-TP model, even if they may not have gotten the whole "usefulness" thing down pat. As you can see above, this one's claim to fame is a trackpad on the underside of the keyboard, which the company says can be "conveniently" used if you flip over the keyboard, or "used from underneath while typing." The keyboard also looks like it'll hold up well to life on the road, with it conforming to IP67 standards for dirt, dust and water resistance, and able to hold up to hospital-grade cleaning agents. Just don't expect it to come cheap, as Econo-Keys is asking $146 for this little wonder.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/econo-keys-ek-76-tp-portable-keyboard-packs-a-touchpad-on-the-fl/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-2201867186177477160?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-86302505349591750962009-06-11T16:50:00.001+07:002009-06-11T16:51:51.808+07:00<span id="ppt19063518"></span><div style="text-align: justify;" class="postbody"><!-- sphereit start --><a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/dfcdde86-513e-11de-84c3-00144feabdc0.html?nclick_check=1"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/iwata-08-04-08.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" align="right" border="0" hspace="4" /></a>It wasn't all that hard to see a bit of a brouhaha erupting now that all three console makers are more or less firmly committed to motion-control technology, but it's still always notable when one of the big three throws a shot across the bow, and Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata did just that in a recent interview with the <em>Financial Times</em>. According to Iwata, Nintendo actually tried out camera-based motion control technology similar to what both MIcrosoft and Sony have now adopted, but found that it got better results with the accelerometer-based tech that ultimately wound up in the Wii remote. Iwata did also say, however, that "until they say when they're releasing it, how much it costs and what software it comes with, we won't know whether that is the route we should have taken," although he added that he thought "they couldn't choose to release exactly the same thing" that Nintendo did.<br />[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/iwata-says-nintendo-tried-and-rejected-camera-based-motion-contr/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-8630250534959175096?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-71766773861172687982009-06-11T16:48:00.001+07:002009-06-11T16:49:56.222+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.ctd-inc.com/X-foldMainPage.html"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/090610-dragonfly-01.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /><div align="left"><div style="text-align: justify;">Sure, this isn't the sexiest MID render we've ever seen, but it does make for a fun little video.

Both of the sets were initially announced way back at CES, and the latter of the two is Tosh's first-ever LED-backlit HDTV. Said set also packs local dimming, ClearScan 240 dejudder technology, PixelPure 5G 14-bit video processing and that questionably useful Resolution+ system.

We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got an NZXT Panzerbox gaming chassis on offer, ready to consume whatever gaming components you've got laying around in search of a home. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Check after the break for some photos of the prize!<br /><br />Huge thanks to NZXT for providing the gear!<br /><br />The rules:<br /><br /> * Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.<br /> * You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)<br /> * If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.<br /> * Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.<br /> * Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) NZXT Panzerbox gaming PC chassis. Approximate retail value is $119.99.<br /> * If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.<br /> * Entries can be submitted until Wednesday, June 10th, 11:59PM ET.

A "fleet" of MacBook Pros? A "catch?" A "murder," perhaps? In any case, Apple just dropped off the entire line -- including the newly-status-bumped 13-inch MacBook Pro -- at Engadget HQ, and while we'll have some in-depth impressions and benchmarks soon, we thought we'd throw up the unboxings and family photos for you right away. We're sort of struck by how amazingly similar these are in person, but we're eager to see how the internals stack up -- and whether that integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M in the 13-inch can handle a professional workload. Anything else you want to know?<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Update: We just noticed that the 13-inch has lost its dedicated audio input jack, we're guessing because of space constraints with the addition of SD and FireWire 800 -- but we're told the new single jack supports both input and output.

Quietly announced across the pond, the R720 is the natural successor to last summer's smash hit, the R710. Said machine sports a LED-backlit panel, ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics, stereo speakers (with "subwoofer"), a full-sized numeric keypad next to the QWERTY layout, four USB 2.0 sockets and Windows Vista Home Premium running the show. Sadly, it seems as if we'll have to wait patiently on more details (price, release, HDD size, etc.), but we get the idea this one's headed for UK stores first, anyway.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/samsung-intros-17-3-inch-r720-multimedia-laptop/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-5064344981829616678?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-54681739473763197822009-06-10T18:05:00.000+07:002009-06-10T18:06:45.967+07:00<div align="center"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/find-my-iphone-test-000.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="1" hspace="4" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> We wouldn't really say we "have it together" when it comes to remembering where we put our keys / phone / small children, so Apple's announcement of the Find My iPhone service for MobileMe users came as quite a relief. The service just went live, and with a quick toggle of a preference pane in iPhone OS 3.0 the phone is fully prepared for all sorts of lost and found scenarios -- along with acting as an incredibly intuitive (if pricey) stalking mechanism. Find My iPhone works exactly as advertised, giving us a fairly good location estimate from within our lead-lined underground fortress, and sending annoying messages to the phone complete with sound, even when the handset is switched to silent, though unfortunately the sound is a sort of sonar ping that strikes us as incredibly difficult to locate, unless of course our phone is taken by whale. The only other problem is that both the location function and the message service took a couple minutes to track down our iPhone -- not a deal breaker, but we don't know what the hangup could be. After the device is pinged, a confirmation of the event was sent to our MobileMe email address. A live, enthralling video demonstration is after the break.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/find-my-iphone-is-live-totally-found-our-iphone/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-5468173947376319782?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-3898358677761430862009-06-10T18:03:00.001+07:002009-06-10T18:05:18.358+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle.ASpx?AR=240678"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/mercedes-esf-06-09-09.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apparently not content to simply build a hybrid vehicle that's both energy-efficient and luxurious, Mercedes has now gone the extra mile with its new 2009 S-Class ESF concept, which packs more than a dozen different safety features including airbags inside and out. That latter outside-the-car airbag is actually a giant braking bag that deploys <em>under the car</em> when it "senses an imminent crash," which not only creates some added friction to slow the car down, but lifts the front of the car up about 80mm to compensate for brake dive. Other uncommon safety features include curtain airbags between the seats, airbags in the seatbelts, reflective tires, and "inflatable metal structures" throughout the vehicle, which apparently both saves space and increases crash protection. Unfortunately, there's no word on any further improvements to the hybrid side of things, but Mercedes' existing S400 Hybrid isn't exactly too shabby of a place to begin with.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/mercedes-debuts-airbag-laden-s-class-esf-hybrid-concept/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-389835867776143086?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-5906520089970246392009-06-10T18:02:00.000+07:002009-06-10T18:03:43.974+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1244371047887&amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/090609-idfrobosnake-01.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While this is by no means the first time we've seen a robotic snake prototype, it isn't every day that we find one so close to deployment. This self-propelling, two feet long robot can crawl along the ground, climb through debris, and even stand erect to give the operator a better view. The Israeli Defense Force is will use this thing for routine surveillance and reconnaissance, broadcasting video and sound to a monitor and control station. And if this is not enough? In that case, the prototype can be wired with explosives -- making it, according to the Jerusalem Post, a "suicide snake." Fun! And rather upsetting. No proposed price or timetable yet, but you can see the thing in action for yourself after the break.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/israeli-military-develops-robot-snake-for-battlefield-children/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-590652008997024639?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-832484672193737892009-06-10T18:01:00.000+07:002009-06-10T18:02:17.903+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&amp;STORY=/www/story/06-09-2009/0005040906&amp;EDATE="><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/zero-mx-motorcycle.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Not one to rest on its ultra-quiet laurels, Zero Motorcycles has just introduced its newest zero-emissions bike: the Zero MX. Hitting the scene just a month and change after we test drove the Zero S, this whip is engineered specifically for track riding and motocross, with the fork, shocks, wheels and tires being all new for this model. In fact, we're told that the MX will enable riders to jump higher and land softer, with a beefier front-end and a "custom rear shock that gives riders a fully adjustable spring preload and easily tuned damping." Better still, it's available as we speak for the not-at-all-reasonable price of $8,250, though at least we're heading in the right direction -- the aforesaid Zero S rang up at nearly ten large (while that Brammo bike we tested today starts at twelve grand).

Their goal is about to capture about 50 milliwatts of power for "ambient charging" -- which would at least be enough to top off the battery while the phone is off. Unfortunately, right now their current prototypes are only pulling down 3 to 5 milliwatts, and many in the industry are convinced it can't be done (don't worry, Nokia, that's just The Man, keeping you down). To be honest, we're not totally sure were comfortable with the thought that there's enough RF floating around to make this even <em>theoretically</em> possible, but as we slowly come to grips with our own mortality, we imagine we'd gladly pay an extra $70 or so for the privilege of never having to charge our phone again. Nokia itself isn't over promising: they plan on supplementing this juice with solar power, and thinks it'll be three or four years until it makes its way into a handset -- probably around the time your existing iPhone contract dries up.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/nokia-hopes-to-one-up-touchstone-harness-wireless-power-for-am/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-2436422181979033640?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-67717428053634740232009-06-10T17:56:00.001+07:002009-06-10T17:57:53.336+07:00<!-- sphereit start --><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/172/6033&amp;cl=us,en"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/090609-logitech-05.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hey old man, with your "sensible shoes" and your "401(K)" and your "Mr. Acker Bilk," we don't need your boring old Logitech mouse.

That's apparently possible in part thanks to an active matrix panel that uses "a kind of cholesteric liquid crystal" which, oddly enough, has so far been primarily used in displays on flash drives. Given that history, the 10.2-inch panel itself is expectedly a little lackluster when it comes to the core specs, with it packing a mere 320 x 240 resolution, 64 colors, and a response time of 25 ms "or less." Of course, it is still just a prototype, and Samsung seems confident that it'll be able to make the necessary improvements before it tuns into an actual product.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/samsung-shows-off-video-capable-e-paper-prototype/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-3723901859682402422?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-71044988780304735722009-06-10T17:54:00.000+07:002009-06-10T17:55:33.804+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/090609-toshibasatellite-01.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Toshiba's added a couple new Satellite laptops into the mix, with options for both the road warrior and the stay-at-home multimedia user. First, the A500: this guy sports a 16-inch, 16:9 format display (1366 x 768), a TV-tuner for both analog and digital DVB-T programming, Harman Kardon speakers and HDMI ports with REGZA LINK technology. Under the hood, this guy packs an Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB memory, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD GPU (up to 1GB DDR3 VRAM), and either a 500GB HDD or 64GB SSD. For those of you on the ultra-portable tip, the U500 is a 13.3-inch (16:10 format, 1280 x 800) ultraportable that weighs in at just under 4.5 pounds. With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8 GB memory, a hard disk capacity of up to 500GB, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 GPU, this bad boy is available in Brown Luxe, with either chrome or silver accents. Claimed battery life is over 3.5 hours. Both lappies feature a DVD Super Multi drive, wide format HD webcam, multi-touch trackpad, and the usual host of connectivity options (WLAN, Bluetooth 2.1, 5-in-1 media card slot). Both will be available in Europe sometime this July for €699 (approx. $975).<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/new-toshiba-satellite-laptops-land-in-europe/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7104498878030473572?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-14367892976203945402009-06-10T17:53:00.000+07:002009-06-10T17:54:34.581+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/08/microsoft-kills-coffin-policy-time-to-pack-your-rrod-xbox-you/"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/6-09-09xboxcoffin.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Getting an Xbox 360 RROD was never any fun, but at least getting it fixed was easy, since a quick phone call would get you a pre-paid "coffin" in which to send the broken console back for repairs. Not anymore -- although Redmond will still pay for return shipping, the company's beancounters have decided to axe the expense of sending custom packaging out to people who need repairs, meaning anyone who gets an RROD will need to pack things themselves. Not the end of the world, but we share Joystiq's take: just send it however you can, since MS is fixing it anyway, and then save the return carton in case something else goes wrong -- knowing the 360, it very well might.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/microsoft-ends-xbox-360-rrod-coffin-program-still-paying-for/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-1436789297620394540?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-41065564792508549372009-06-10T17:52:00.000+07:002009-06-10T17:53:29.084+07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.slashgear.com/expresscard-20-finalized-5gbps-for-10x-faster-cards-0946480/"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/expresscard20-06-09-09.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A final spec has been promised for over a year now, but the PCMCIA folks have just now finally settled on the long-awaited ExpressCard 2.0 standard which, among other things, incorporates the new SuperSpeed USB spec to allow for faster transfer rates. In real world use, that should translate to transfer rates up to 5Gbps, or roughly 10 times faster than the previous ExpressCard 1.2 standard. Otherwise, you can naturally expect full backwards compatibility with existing ExpressCards and, as PCMCIA hopes, even more products using the format in the future now that it has all that extra bandwidth, although it seems Apple didn't get that memo.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/expresscard-2-0-standard-finally-finalized-faster-than-ever/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4106556479250854937?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-46124464520335659172009-06-10T17:50:00.001+07:002009-06-10T17:51:51.135+07:00<!-- sphereit start --><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/09/asustek-vows-to-out-apple-apple/"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/6-09-09asuslogo.jpg" vspace="16" align="right" border="0" hspace="4" /></a>ASUS might have launched the netbook era with the original Eee PC and followed up on that with wave after wave of successfully more innovative designs like the Seashell, but that's not enough for vice chairman Jonathan Tsang, who says the company's goal is "to provide products that are better than Apple's." No pulling punches here! According to Tsang, ASUS spends very little on marketing, instead preferring to spend the majority of its budget in engineering products so innovative consumers are forced to take notice. We don't know if that strategy will actually work -- especially since true competition with Apple would have to involve software, not just hardware -- but we will say that it's clear ASUS is doing everything it can to drive the industry forward, not just lying back and copying rivals like MSI and Acer. That's all thought-provoking enough, but there's more: Tsang also says ASUS has a motion-controlled game console that provides better tracking than the Wii sitting on the shelf because content deals are "complicated." Same with an ebook reader. "We don't have the chicken, so cannot have the egg." Well damn -- and we really like eggs, too.

Yeah, it's not much, but taken in context it seems like he's saying that keyboards and multitasking will be Palm's major differentiators against the iPhone. That's not to say he thinks the Pre is destined to kill Cupertino's baby -- in addition to calling Apple "the most successful company in the history of Silicon Valley," McNamee also reiterated Palm's characterization of the iPhone as primarily a consumer-centric media phone: "If what you care about most is listening to music or playing back videos, the iPhone is probably the right phone for you." That's a pretty slickly-delivered backhanded compliment, if you ask us -- although from El Rog we'd expect nothing less. Check the whole interview after the break -- it's a good one.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/roger-mcnamee-says-pre-launch-was-a-dream-come-true-hints-tha/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-5279347214900554750?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-41027636573331019462009-06-10T17:44:00.002+07:002009-06-10T17:45:50.111+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://news.prnewswire.com/ViewContent.aspx?ACCT=109&amp;STORY=/www/story/06-09-2009/0005040709&amp;EDATE="><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wd-my-book-studio-ii-4tb.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> What a difference a year makes, right? Right around 12 months after Western Digital outed its 2TB My Book Studio Edition II, the company has come forward with a new edition that houses twice the storage. The dual-drive device includes a pair of those minty fresh 2TB HDDs arranged in a RAID 0 configuration, and WD promises that it'll play nice with both Macs and PCs. As for connectivity, you'll get eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0, and the handy capacity gauge does exactly what it says. It's up for order right now for $649.99.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/wd-intros-4tb-my-book-studio-edition-ii-external-hard-drive/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4102763657333101946?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-22381269529916136062009-06-10T17:44:00.001+07:002009-06-10T17:44:52.531+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3g/more-features.html"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/idisk-app-1.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Buried under the considerable stack of WWDC newness is news that Apple is launching an iPhone iDisk application for MobileMe users alongside iPhone OS 3.0. It lets users browse through and view their remotely stored docs, but there doesn't seem to be an offline component to the app (at least none is mentioned in Apple's brief writeup) -- though a feature that lets you email a download link to an iDisk file is welcome. Naturally, there are plenty of apps that already access iDisk, WebDAV, Google Docs and other online storage systems, and offer added functionality like local caching to boot, but it's at least nice to have a bit of first party support when it comes to basic iDisk browsing for users who are already paying for the privilege -- we just hope it grows into so much more.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/apple-launching-free-idisk-app-for-viewing-and-sending-stored-do/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-2238126952991613606?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-48757386835127383692009-06-10T17:42:00.000+07:002009-06-10T17:43:51.974+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.smarthome.com/6184CK/Remote-Pet-Feeding-Viewing-Camera-Kit-Large-Feeder/p.aspx"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/pet_feeding_kit.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The last time we saw a computerized internet-controlled pet feeder, it had been lovingly, creatively cobbled together by a child. Well, it seems the idea's really got legs, as they now seem to be available on a mass-scale, in a nearly identical (albeit slightly more polished) form. Yes, just like the one designed by a boy somewhere in the 8-years-old-range, the Remote Pet Feeder comes with a webcam, a slightly modded bulk kibble feeder / bowl combo, and a 24-hour programmable timer.

The RoadMate 1475T is, for all intents and purposes, a refreshed RoadMate 1470 with a traffic receiver, though said traffic receiver works without any monthly fees. It features a 4.7-inch WQVGA anti-glare display, AAA TourBook listings, six million POIs, spoken street name guidance, highway lane assist, QuickSpell and NAVTEQ maps of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. Not too shabby for just $299, wouldn't you say?<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/magellan-intros-4-7-inch-roadmate-1475t-pnd-for-299/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-9187704849298072407?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-50795858348610959822009-06-10T17:40:00.000+07:002009-06-10T17:41:39.164+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://money.aol.com/article/new-averatec-255-inch-pctv-combo/447297?icid=sphere_searchsphere_news"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/averatec-d1200-small.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Nah, it's no netbook, but it's certainly more than a rumor. Averatec has just cut loose details on its newest machine, a 25.5-inch PC / TV combo that looks to take on the likes of MSI's AE1900. The D1200 all-in-one PC comes equipped with a hybrid digital / analog TV tuner and supports buttery smooth 1080p playback. Specs wise, you'll find a 2.5GHz dual-core E5200 processor, 320GB hard drive, 4GB of memory and Vista Home Premium (64-bit). There's also an 8x DVD burner, 2 megapixel webcam, WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, Intel's G4500HD graphics, a wireless remote and a panel that's either WXGA or 1,920 x 1,200, depending on which version of the rundown you read. At any rate, it's up for order as we speak for a buck under $1,000.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/averatec-introduces-25-5-inch-d1200-all-in-one-pc/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-5079585834861095982?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-34842795041190900592009-06-10T17:37:00.001+07:002009-06-10T17:40:35.027+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://product.iriver.co.kr/p_m7_feat.asp"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/irivers-m7-nv-classic.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Mmm mm m, iriver, you sure know a thing or two about industrial design.

As a media device we're looking at DMB digital television, support for MPEG1, MPEG4, WMV9, and XVID video, MP3, WMA, OGG, and WAV audio, JPEG and BMP images, and a bundled 4GB SDHC card for storage. Priced for Korea at KRW329,000 which would be right around $248 if it ever came to the US, which it won't, at least not in this configuration.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/irivers-m7-nv-classic-navigates-the-road-and-your-media/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-3484279504119090059?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-56638661709728825992009-06-10T16:20:00.000+07:002009-06-10T16:21:33.352+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.robotsrule.com/pleo/2009/06/pleos-back-jetta-company-limited.html"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/pleo-jetta-1.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> It's the feel bad and then feel good again story of the year: bankrupt Ugobe's intellectual property and assets, including the intensely lovable and yet nearly unloved Pleo, are being snapped up by Jetta Company Limited, which currently manufactures the robotic baby dino. The company plans on re-launching Pleo, and says that all its manufacturing processes for Pleo and related accessories are still intact. Better yet, the company is well established and no stranger to robots: it also builds parts for iRobot's consumer products.

Artype's 16GB Mechanical Memory Key is a handcrafted beaut, with materials that include Purpleheart for the case and twenty-six rubies. When this device is drawing USB power it glows green from beneath the gears, taking you back to your days as a hacker during the reign of Queen Victoria. Sadly, the device pictured above has already been sold, but at $165 a pop we're sure this particular artisan has plenty more of these guys in the works.

We've been toying around with the latest cut here and have noticed a few small changes from beta 5; nothing groundbreaking, but notable nonetheless. Most importantly, iTunes is now offering movie, TV and music video downloads directly from the phone, which has caused the bottom navigation bar to be rearranged a bit. We also noticed that the App Store's nav bar was rearranged a bit to accommodate a "More" button where you'll find Top 25 and Redeem links. The Store screen in Settings now shows a nicely-formatted account information screen -- nice, we suppose -- but unfortunately, MMS configurability is still missing, so it's unclear whether AT&amp;T will need to push an update once it flips the switch.

Unfortunately for Symbian, it's going to take all the charm it can muster to win over the iPhone App Store's crop of cash-flush developers. Symbian was apparently at WWDC today, doing its best to woo, with all-day festivities involving coffee, food, a "hackathon," prizes, and free Nokia 5800 handsets for attendees.

From the looks of it, the two 24-inch monitors are mostly identical, and pack an IPS panel with a 1,900 x 1,200 resolution, along with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 320 cd/m² brightness, 96.7% coverage of the sRGB color space, and NEC's AmbiBright ambient light sensor with automatic backlight adjustment. The big difference is that the LCD2490W2 model comes bundled with NEC's SpectraView color calibration sensor and, of course, a slightly higher price tag. Look for it to run you $1,299, while the SpectraView-less LCD2490WUXi² will set you back $1,099.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/nec-rolls-out-two-new-high-end-24-inch-multisync-monitors/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-1301729335555704425?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-38051247093286723862009-06-10T16:14:00.000+07:002009-06-10T16:15:47.132+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/apple-wwdc-2009-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/"><img class="live_image" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-2009-keynote-1176-rm-eng.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Sure, Apple didn't really shock anyone with the announcement of the iPhone 3G S this morning at WWDC, but there was no shortage of news at the Moscone Center -- we also got new MacBooks, final Snow Leopard details, and a release date for iPhone OS 3.0. On the other hand, it wasn't all good news either: AT&amp;T's iPhone upgrade pricing and service levels leave a lot to be desired, and Apple's unfortunate penchant for sealed-in batteries has finally hit the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Apple's posted its stream of the keynote if you want to relive things in real-time, but here's a quick rewind in case you missed anything:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The good</span><br /><br /> * Current iPhone owners will get iPhone OS 3.0 for free, although some features like video recording and voice control are limited to the iPhone 3G S. It's not perfect, but we don't really complain about free.<br /> * Snow Leopard upgrades will cost just $29, instead of the usual $129.<br /> * The original 8GB iPhone 3G is now only $99 for new AT&amp;T subscribers. That's definitely going to make some waves in the smartphone market.<br /> * We'd have loved to see some external design improvements and maybe some more surprising features that weren't rumored, but overall the iPhone 3G S is definitely in the "good" column -- it's a solid set of improvements to an already very good platform.<br /> * MacBook Air and MacBook Pro (including the new 13-inch Pro) specs have increased while prices have come down, and glory be, FireWire is back on everything but the Air.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The bad</span><br /><br /> * As usual, iPod touch owners are going to get dinged $9.95 for the iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade. Hey Apple -- maybe switch these guys over to subscription accounting as well?<br /> * Let's face it, "iPhone 3G S" is a pretty clunky name.<br /> * Sure, it's nice that the MacBook Pros now have an SD card slot, but losing ExpressCard hurts. And why not a multicard reader? Pro DSLRs still use CF.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The ugly</span><br /><br /> * Sure, new customers and qualified upgraders are getting some sweet pricing on iPhone hardware, but AT&amp;T's basically flipping existing customers the bird -- they'll have to pay anywhere from $399 to a whopping $699 to get an iPhone 3G S. You'd think they'd have looked at how many people went from a first-gen iPhone to a 3G and realized those same people would want a 3G S, but apparently not.<br /> * On top of that insult, AT&amp;T isn't supporting all of iPhone OS 3.0's features out the gate: MMS is coming "later this summer," and tethering has been promised but there's no timeline and no pricing information. Thanks, AT&amp;T.<br /> * Sure, it's grand that the 15-inch MacBook Pro's battery now lasts for up to seven hours on a charge and won't lose capacity for five years, but a non-swappable battery on a workhorse professional machine just doesn't cut it for us.<br /><br />So all in all we'd say that the good outweighs the bad, although AT&amp;T really disappointed here.

That, as jkOnTheRun points out, is the same price as the S5, which packs a smaller 5-inch screen compared to the X70's 7-incher (though both are WSVGA). Otherwise, the two are fairly similar, with each sporting the usual Atom processor, Windows XP for an OS, built-in GPS, optional 3G, and 1GB of RAM. The X70 also mixes things up a bit with your choice of 32GB or 64GB SSD drives, while the S5 packs a standard 60GB hard drive. Still no word on a release date, but Dynamism will gladly take your email now and your order later.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/viliv-x70-series-mid-headed-to-the-us-starting-at-599/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-2881475420366923051?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-83615731412429501042009-06-10T16:10:00.000+07:002009-06-10T16:12:50.660+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2009/06/nokia-n97-nam-finally-lands-in-flagship-stores.html"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/nokia-n97-retail-hands-on.jpg" vspace="4" border="1" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Sorry, preorderers -- you've once again gotten gamed by the quick-draw Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago who've received stock of the black version of the N97 today.

That's definitely a big change from Cupertino's usual rigidly-maintained product matrix -- we'd say that the lower-end Pros with GeForce 9400M integrated graphics definitely blur the line between consumer and professional machines. Still, it's not hard to tell one from the other on the outside, at least: MacBooks are plastic and MacBook Pros are aluminum.

That may not be exactly what Nintendo had in mind when it first unveiled MotionPlus way back at last year's E3, but the first-party wares won't be too far behind, with its own Wii Sports Resort title (and requisite bundle) still on track for a launch late next month. If you're up for a little golf in the meantime, however, you can pick up the Tiger Woods game bundled with Wii MotionPlus for $59.99, or the standalone game (still playable with the standard Wiimote) for $49.99.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/eas-tiger-woods-pga-tour-10-with-wii-motionplus-now-shipping/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-7135638300017696724?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-29335974765347265672009-06-10T16:06:00.001+07:002009-06-10T16:08:21.317+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&amp;newsId=20090608006322&amp;newsLang=en"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/sprint-pre-line-sf-2009-06-05_23-33-15-rm-eng.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> As of late Sunday, the new Palm Pre became the fastest starter ever for Sprint, setting records both for best first day sales and best first weekend sales, according to a Sprint press release. Unfortunately, Sprint doesn't mention a specific number of devices sold (the best estimate so far is around 50,000), or what device the Pre knocked off the top spot -- we'd say the Instinct, if we had to guess. The rest of the effusive PR is spent on extensive self praise, with CEO Dan Hesse calling the launch "the coming out party for the new Sprint." In between plugs for the Ready Now experience, however, unfolds the bizarre story of a groom-to-be standing in line 15 minutes before his wedding. We don't want to spoil the ending, but let's just say it's got "feel good romcom of the summer" written all over it.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/pre-sets-first-day-and-first-weekend-device-sales-records-for-sp/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-2933597476534726567?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-21958062335924760182009-06-10T16:04:00.000+07:002009-06-10T16:05:57.965+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/guidedtour/#large"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/iphone-3gs-guided-tour-1.jpg" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="4" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Sure, you think you've learned all there is to know about Apple's new iPhone 3G S, but have you had its every feature explained and demonstrated for you by an unrealistically calm, factory-fresh ApplePerson over the course of 14 minutes in one of the company's trademark guided tours?

Of course, it's easy to have assumed that AT&amp;T wouldn't be one of those partners, but we've been told today by a company spokesman that it will be offering tethering on the device -- it just doesn't have any announcements to make at this time. Whether that means availability will be delayed (perhaps until the 7.2Mbps upgrade is built out) or they're just trying to hammer out pricing, we don't know, but it's a promising sign.<br /></div>[via <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/atandt-well-offer-tethering-on-the-iphone/" target="_blank">engadget</a>]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307354262540209214-4521737237323751114?l=dailly-gadget.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08567406652055412784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307354262540209214.post-87347830369945004362009-06-10T16:00:00.000+07:002009-06-10T16:01:44.585+07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/poll-iphone-3g-s-or-the-pre/"><img src="http://www.engadget.com/media/iphone3283829.png" alt="http://www.engadget.com/media/iphone3283829.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Alright folks, we know you were all waiting to see Apple's hand before you made the big Pre / iPhone decision, and now you know -- so what's it going to be?

The new hardware and software system "leverages" the Android Marketplace, and encompasses car-friendly APIs, car-specific in-vehicle apps and a touchscreen interface plugged into a system designed to pull data from the web and control internal car systems. On a sketchier front, Phandroid has done some mucking around, and seems to think Google, BMW, T-Mobile, Wind River and SVOX are all on the short list for involvement. It's hard to say exactly how likely that might be, but we're happy to dream electric dreams of an OHA-style Sync killer along with them.
