Creative Zii EGG: First Impressions

Posted by Ade as Accessories, Portable Media, Portable Media Players

Um, guys, you are all aware that there are other portable music players aside from the iPod, right? And the iPod's nearest competitor right now are those PMPs from that little Taiwanese company called Creative. I'm sure you've heard of them. Well, Creative has been making pretty good music players (with features that are even better than the iPod's, if you ask me) and they've started teasing us about the newest one: the Zii EGG. ... yeah, it's a name that made me scratch my head too. But whatever, Dapreview's staff was given a sample unit and it looks great: Seriously, the only reason I ...

Posted by Andy as Mobility, Portable Media

toshiba-journe-touch

Toshiba has announced an interesting little portable multimedia device, which looks much like digital photo frame but in fact can do a great deal more.

The Journe Touch, featuring a seven-inch touchscreen, is totally portable so it can be used around the house to listen to music, watch videos, connect up to a high definition TV via HDMI, and access a range of web sites.

It runs on Windows CE 6.0 Pro, a popular choice that's built-in to a range of consumer electronics devices, and can connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Nokia 5800 Navigator Edition Announced

Posted by Ade as Cellphones, Cool Stuff, Portable Media, Portable Media Players

For those who took the plunge and became an early adopter for the 5800 XM, here's a bit of bad news. First, the cheaper but not exactly lower-end version of this phone, the 5530, is almost coming out. And now Nokia announced that a Navigator Edition of the 5800 is coming out pretty soon. It still uses the same specs as the older model, but this phone has been made to replace your Personal Navigation Assistant. The phone comes with lifetime voice-guided drive and walk navigation licenses and accessories like car charger and car-mount kit. The phone will come out this quarter for around $400.

Mint Hard: Awesome Ice Cream Portable External HDD

Posted by Ade as Accessories, Cool Stuff, Hardware, Portable Media

Guys, check out the Mint Hard. Okay, I shall avoid all sorts of juvenile jokes with this weirdly-named external HDD. Instead, I shall ask you to check out how awesome it looks. Come on, it looks like a frakkin' ice cream bar. You might think that I'm just the sort of guy who gets easily distracted by shiny objects and all (partially tru- oh look a pink unicorn), let's just look at it. It's an ice cream bar. That can hold 120GB. And its handle isn't really a handle at all; it's actually an 8GB flash drive! How rad is that?

Something for the composer in you

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff, Portable Media

I have a few songs under my belt, yes they have seen the inside of a radio station too... played it once or twice actually. But I'm not THE composer, like I have a grand piano in my home ready for my "moment" to glory with that hitsong. This gadget is really handy for those like me who's not really "there" in writing songs. I am not as gifted, not even a beginner at that. Yamaha designed this concept portable keyboard cum notebook, dubbed as "key for journey". I think this will hit it big in the media world. While it's not your standard full length keys, the most used are there. It's battery operated (of course) ...

Desktops are In (again)

Posted by Jaren as Gadzooki News, Portable Media, Random Thoughts

Pranksters Invade Starbucks With Desktop Computers Oh man, I love this article on Engadget. Got me snickering as pranksters bring their desktop computers to Starbucks to mooch WiFi. We all know that we usually get the limelight if we bring out our laptops, but this is so funny and plus its great publicity for Starbucks. And the funny thing about is they're using Windows 95, yeah hello nostalgia. Desktops are In (again)

pic courtesy of Engadget We've already seen the confusion and hilarity some so-called "portable" computers can cause when taken out into public, but those shenanigans are nothing compared to the scene stirred up when the folks from Improv Everywhere lugged some ancient desktop computers ...

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Apple, Phones, Portable Media, iPod

If you're looking to unlock all firmware versions of the iPhone (including the current 1.1.3 version), a new Website will lend a helping hand - for $27.50US, £14.00 or 18.70 Euros.

No matter where in the world you're located, you'll be able to use any type of GSM SIM, maximize the iPhones iPod capabilities, receive RSS Feeds, use your client chat interface, and browse the Web via WiFi.

Modu: More Than a Glorified SIM Card?

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Cellphones, Gadgets, Portable Media

The more I've thought about Modu, the modular cellular handset that launches on October 1 with carriers in Russia, Italy, and Israel, the more intrigued I become. Called a glorified SIM card by some, Modu offers the basics of a cell phone (calls, texting, contacts), with the expandability to power an array of electronic devices. Based around a concept of "jackets," you'll be able to dock Modu into specially designed gadgets. From GPS devices to digital cameras, the options appear endless.
