The Always Innovating Touch Book looks interesting

Posted by Ade as Security

This is a rather old gadget already, but it's worth a look because of renewed interest in tablet computers thanks to the iPad. The Always Innovating Touch Book is a smartbook that has a detachable touchscreen so you can use it as a tablet computer whenever you want or need it to be. I know we've seen this on Lenovo smartbooks already, but the Always Innovating Touch Book has an advantage over the competition - everything about this is open source! Yes, the hardware and software on this smartbook is open source, and is spearheaded by Gregoire Gentil, the man behind the Zonbu Desktop and Laptop.

Nokia Ovi Orion Gaming Phone Concept

Posted by Ade as Cellphones, Cool Stuff

Does anybody here remember the Nokia N-gage? Not a lot of you, I'm sure. The N-Gage didn't really make much of a splash when it first came out, which is sad, because it was way ahead of its time. Back then people scoffed at a gaming phone. I did too. The hardware available back then wasn't really good for running games, and there wasn't really a bunch of games you can actually play on the N-Gage platform. Nokia's taking another shot at the mobile gaming market with the Ovi Orion. The Ovi Orion is still conceptual as of now, and in theory, it looks like a good gaming phone. According ...

We can expect to see Symbian ^3 soon

Posted by Ade as Cellphones, News, Software

Nokia seems to be pushing ahead with Symbian even though rumors abound of Nokia's move to switch the entire N-Series from Symbian to Maemo. Right now, there's new of Nokia skipping development of Symbian ^2 so that they can go ahead and proceed with Symbian ^3. And the good news is that we might be able to see Symbian ^3 this year, as Nokia is aiming to release v3 by the third quarter of 2010! According to Digitimes: The Symbian version 4 is believed to be based on the Qt cross-platform application development framework developed by Trolltech, which Nokia acquired in June 2008, said industry sources. The Qt ...

Carry a secure computer on your keychain with IronClad

Posted by Ade as Security

One of the things that I really don't take for granted when I bring my laptop around everywhere I go is security. Aside from physical security (you know, never taking the laptop out in scary areas, never letting the bag out of my sight, bringing a Kensington lock), you can never be too careful about software as well. Now, if you don't like carrying around a full computer, but you like to keep your data with you all of the time, you might want to consider the IronClad. Created by Lockheed Martin - yes, the guys who created the F-22 Raptor fighter jet - the IronClad is ...

Sony Ericsson Vivaz – phone with 720 P HD Recording, 8.1 megapixels

Posted by Ade as Cellphones

Okay, so everyone's really crazy over the latest Android or Windows Mobile phone - um, maybe not Windows Mobile, but you get the general idea. The internet also split in half last week over Apple's latest gadget, the iPad. Which is being criticized to be an oversized iPod touch. Of course, it goes without saying that people are pretty much excited over the 4th-generation iPhone, along with the iPhone OS 4.0. And everyone's really excited to see where Nokia is taking Maemo. So, no Symbian love, huh? I know, that mobile operating system is old and pretty much bloated. It's on its way out, but I'm sure there ...

The Apple iPad is here. Now what?

Posted by Ade as Apple

After years and years of waiting for the almost-legendary Apple Tablet to even show up, today, Apple just finally ended years of speculation in their "Newest Creation" event by showing a demo of the Tablet, named iPad. Yes, everyone. The Apple iPad is real, and it's pretty. We all know how crazy the hype has been for the iPad. We've seen blogs dedicated around 50% of their articles just for iPad rumors, and really, I got sick of hearing about the magical computer's capabilities. I got to the point where I was expecting somebody to say that the Apple Tablet can cure cancer. I was just as excited as ...

Apple Tablet Photos Surface (but seriously, they look fake)

Posted by Ade as Apple, News

Don't worry, it had me fooled for a moment too. Now these purported pictures of the mythical Apple Tablet or iSlate or iPad or whatever name it is the Apple rumor mill cranked out this time surfaced just a few hours ago. Posted by designer and user interface guy Dustin Curtis (the same guy involved in the American Airlines website design dust-up) on his Posterous account, the images are of the alleged tablet sitting on top of a MacBook pro. While some blogs, like Mashable, are on the verge of being convinced on the basis of these pictures, I'm rather skeptical. At first glance I bolted up in my chair, stared ...

Google Nexus Two?

Posted by Ade as Cellphones, Gadgets

Well, that was fast. A mere three weeks after the Google Nexus One was launched, rumors are coming out about the Google Nexus Two. That's right, guys. We're going to talk about the sequel to the Google Nexus One, even before it starts to warm up in people's pockets. According to the rumors, the Google Nexus Two will be manufactured this time by Motorola. Google is allegedly looking into one of Motorola's not yet in production models, the Motorola Shadow, to be sold as the Google Nexus Two. The Motorola Shadow is going to be a pretty nice phone, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard while at the same time having an ...

The Sleep Suit lets you sleep everywhere

Posted by Ade as Cool Stuff

I'm guessing that burning five candles at both ends at the same time thing is doing wonders for your productivity and finances, but your sleeping habits have taken a major hit and - wait, what is a sleeping habit? So. You need to sleep. And you need to sleep now. In the middle of the park. Fashion, safety, and propriety be damned. What you need is the sleep suit. Wait, what? It is inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s practice of Dymaxion Sleeping, which involves four 30-minute naps over a period of 24 hours, and the material requirements for such conditions. Architecturally, the very close relationship between the human body and the suit acts ...

The new iPhone is dual-core, with an OLED screen and a detachable battery? [Rumor]

Posted by Ade as Apple

I guess it's Apple rumor time again, folks. Now the rumor mill is saying that the new iPhone is coming out in the middle of the year (most likely April or May) and that it has a lot of features that are making a lot of Apple fanboys - and some iPhone-indifferent geeks like me - drool. Let me quote Appleinsider for this one: Officials at KT, the exclusive provider of the iPhone in South Korea, have allegedly said Apple could debut a new iPhone with an OLED screen, video chat and a removable battery as soon as April. The Korea Times claimed Tuesday that sources at KT said the new phone would ...
