The process of TiN utilizes some hardcore chemistry concepts to coat objects like luxury watches, drill bits and aircraft blades. Well, what happens when you treat a regular old iPhone in this manner?
It ends up looking insanely great, that’s what. Checkout the gallery below for shots of the masterpiece, as well as the humango-normous equipment employed to reach the final splendid affect. Read the rest of this entry »
The purpose of this concept is to explore innovative products for the near future. Nowadays, more people use cellphones to substitute for cameras and music players.
The cellphone becomes a digital Swiss army knife in the new era. Because of the light-power use and carry-on property, the combination of cellphone and camera is the most successful one.
Instead of relying on a big touchscreen or software solutions only, this concept focused on the essential value of an easy-use cellphone. Read the rest of this entry »
Here they are, the product waifs, which can only mean one thing: the LG VX10000 QWERTY Voyager and LG VX8800, AKA Venus, slider are official.
The dual-display Venus (2-inch main on top and 1.49-inch haptic VibeTouch touchscreen below for navigation) is up and dancing on Verizon this morning for immediate availability. Same $200 fee after online discount and 2 years of your life inked in blood that we already saw on pre-order.
The Voyager with its 2.8-inch VibeTouch, external touchscreen (and 2.8-inch internal) is still on track for its 21st launch for $300 plus 2 year contract. Don’t worry, we’ll remind you come Wednesday. Read the rest of this entry »
Folks, we’re going to level with you: Nokia’s N810 internet table — the magnetizing, multi-faceted gadget so many of you cats have been waiting for — is officially on store shelves.
According to the Finnish company’s reps, the WiFi equipped handheld is now available for your general consumption at such luminous retailers as Best Buy Mobile, CompUSA, Micro Center, and Nokia flagship stoes in New York and Chicago.
If you’ll recall, the Linux-based, touchscreen portable runs atop a 400MHz CPU, has 2GB of RAM (upgradable to 10GB), a built-in GPS receiver, a Mozilla-based browser, and a slide-out, full QWERTY keyboard. Read the rest of this entry »
Is it just us, or did this thing take a glancing blow from the ugly stick? Not a direct, brutal strike by any means, but it seems like there may have been a bit of an exchange before this sucker’s announcement. Anyway, yeah, Samsung’s i780 is all official now — which we now know has absolutely no relation to the BlackJack2 for AT&T — and while it may not be taking earning any points for sheer beauty, it makes up for the indiscretion with sheer braun. You get Windows Mobile 6 Professional (yes, Professional, not Standard), assisted GPS, a 2.6 inch 320 x 320 display, 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM, WiFi, and that crazy optical touchpad that lets you navigate via mouse pointer. Sadly, the triband GSM and single-band 3G are going to keep this one well off US shores, but then again, keep in mind that the i600 spawned the i607 BlackJack back in the day — so stay positive, folks.

I’ve been meaning to try out a video for the blog for some time and I finally got around to it. In this video, I take apart a 3rd generation (read older) iPod to replace the battery. It’s interesting even if you don’t have an iPod in that you can see what the innards of an iPod look like.
The battery kit used in the video was from ipodbattery.com. There you can choose the model of iPod that you have and get the right battery for it.

Fanboy or not, you have to admit that the iPhone is a “sexy” piece of hardware. But case manufacturer Incipio may have taken the description a little out of context with their Bikini Case.

It looks like subscribers on pretty much any major carrier in Germany will get a shot at the touchy, feely HTC Touch in the next few weeks (though not in wasabi green, we’d wager). The company’s European outpost has announced that Vodafone, O2, and T-Mobile will all be adding the Touch to their lineup between this and next month, with O2 likely the first with the “Xda nova” (final design above right).
Vodafone meanwhile will simply slap its branding on HTC’s reference design (above left), while T-Mobile’s bodywork has yet to be announced. Look for it to hit for about €450 ($600) unsubsidized or €49 ($65) on contract. Big diff there, eh ?

Here you have it, what looks to be a (re-touched) photograph of a real engineering sample of the Meizu M8). The picture was posted by CEO, Jack Wong, with the promise of more pictures to come in a “few days.” At the moment, the 58 x 105 x 11.8-mm M8 is said to carry a spec list which includes a 667MHz ARM11 processor running a Windows CE 6.0 kernel up on a 3.3-inch, 720 x 480 pixel touchscreen display.
The MiniOne M8 model will pack GSM with EDGE data while the MiniOne M8 w (”w” for worldphone we presume) is said to go WCDMA/HSDPA/GSM/EDGE. WiFi, Bluetooth, and what appears to be a 3 megapixel camera also come standard with your choice of 4, 8, and 16GB of flash capacities. While we’ve seen pricing and an “end of 2007″ release date before, the specs have changed so dramatically since then that we’ll just have to continue holding tight as this pup evolves. You know, if they can actually push this wunderkind out the door.

We thought the Sprint Mogul was a little bit of alright, but do the ‘nets agree? By and large, yeah, it seems the bottom line is that this is the must-have upgrade for PPC-6700 owners. Mobile Tech Review points out that an MMS client is notably missing and picture quality on the 2 megapixel camera could be better, but hey, it’s still an improvement over the Apache’s 1.3 megapixel unit. Boy Genius Report found that the ridges on the phone’s posterior were a little funky, too; just like the Mogul’s crazy bright yellow UI, it’s probably an acquired taste.
