Motorola’s RAZR 2 / Canary pics!

Posted on 24 April 2006 by admin

Remember The Boy Genius, the dude who scored those CDMA Q shots way back in the year 2005? He’s back, and hooked us up with some shots of Motorola’s Canary, what we understand to be the true successor to the RAZR. Contrary to prior reports that this thing would run Windows Mobile, you can plainly see that it doesn’t; we understand it uses the same software build as the RAZR V3x, which might imply it’s a UMTS device as well. A second trustworthy source let us know that the device would pack a 2 megapixel camera, and would be positioned as Moto’s new flagship phone due for Q4 2006 or Q1 2007 launch, which jibes with everything else we’ve been hearing, and starts to pull this picture together. More pics after the break!

P.S. It’s worth noting, as we’re told, that this phone is more or less just as thin as the original RAZR, just not as wide. And that’s supposedly not a plastic exterior, but a soft-touch finish and aluminum detailing.

The Ladybag remembers your stuff with RFID

Posted on 24 April 2006 by admin

We carry handhelds so we don’t forget what we’ve got to do, but what happens when we forget our handheld? Six students from Canada’s Simon Fraser University don’t have an answer, but they have developed the latest in purse technology to help prevent the aforementioned situation from occuring to the ladies. The Ladybag’s function is fairly simple: an RFID scanner in the bottom of the bag will display a LED-lit icon of whatever it is you didn’t remember to embagify. (It’ll also display emoticons of how your bag thinks you’re feeling, depending on how you’re holding and handling it.) Of course, if you’re like us and frequently forget your bag when out and about, you’d do best to skip the Ladybag (or Manbag, as it were) and make like us: find a keeper.
