We had a chance to gaze through the wireframe of this 8.1 megapixel Casio W63CA Exilim cellphone back in August courtesy of the FCC’s finest. Now check it in high-gloss, plastic flesh. The latest Japanese super-phone squeezes 480 x 800 pixel into a 3.1-inch OLED display. Let that sink in for a second… the very [...]
We were always curious why a device that (at least on paper) was superior in a lot of ways to Nokia’s N96 wasn’t trumpeted as the outfit’s flagship device, but nevertheless, an Italian reviewer has made us feel a touch better about our previously ludicrous thoughts. After spending a solid fortnight with the phone, the [...]
If you can’t get your goods into China via the front door, there’s always the back. Apple is now selling its iPhone 3G unlocked via its on-line Apple Store in Hong Kong. The 8GB model sells for HK$5,500 (about US$694) or HK$6,200 (about $797) for the 16 gigger. Already available since July 11th with a [...]
Griffin may occasionally help out those that like to complicate their lives, but it also thankfully caters to those of us that prefer to keep things simple, and it looks like its new, appropriately-named Simplifi dock should appeal to quite a few in the latter camp. As you can see, it’ll not only accommodate a [...]
As expected, Apple just updated the iPod touch with a new thinner stainless steel case — it’s still got the same display. There’s now hardware volume controls (hooray!) and a built-in speaker, and a Nike+ receiver is also built in, so you just need the shoe transmitter. On the software side, the UI has been [...]
Steve Jobs just announced that the iPod classic will only come in a single $249 120GB config from now on. Seriously, that’s the only model of classic available now, storage junkies — better snap up those outgoing 160GB models while you can.

Well well. Can’t say we’re surprised to be telling you about the new 4th generation iPod nano. As we heard, 9 colors, bigger $149 8GB and $199 16GB capacity, and wider 2-inch display under the control of an accelerometer for automatic switching between portrait and landscape modes like those early Canon PowerShots and uh, oh [...]
Sure, most fullscreen players end up looking roughly the same — some more than others — but we like the direction Onda has taken its 4.3-inch widescreen VX767. The player can show off RM, RMVB, FLV, AVI, MOV, ASF, MP4, WMV, 3GP and MPG video on its 480 x 272 LCD, and includes support for [...]
Those of you hoping to have your mind blown can go ahead and leave quietly out the back, but for anyone else hoping for a dirt-cheap and fairly lovable DAP, the Sansa Fuze from SanDisk might just fit the bill. PC Magazine and CNET put the player through its paces and came out with a [...]
Well, we’ve gotten some sweet PR on it with a few more details we didn’t hear about yesterday. The device will come in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB configurations, feature playback of MP3, WAV, Audible, WMA, MPEG-4, and JPEG files, and will be compatible with subscription services like Rhapsody To Go, Napster, and eMusic. As we [...]
What will it be, the good or the bad news first? How ’bout the good. After an initial rebuff, we finally managed to grab some photos of that exclusive T-Mobile MDA compact IV. You remember: 7.2Mbps HSDPA, GPS, VGA resolution screen, WiFi and 4GB of on-board storage. It’ll also launch “mit neuestem Microsoft Betriebssytem” which [...]
We’re all but convinced that nobody actually wears these video-playing watches out in public, but just in case there’s some otherworldly group out there that takes pride in adorning their wrists with timepieces that are utterly heinous, you’re in luck. This iteration sports a 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution OLED display, integrated media player that [...]
After a month or so of delays, Samsung has finally launched its P2 media player in the States; and it’s not putting the 3-inch touchscreen sporting, flash-based, Bluetooth-enabled DAP out there all by its lonesome. Today Samsung announced MPfreedom, a website with info and customization doohickeys, and of course content partnerships with the likes of [...]
Oppo’s been known to add a hint of style to its PMPs in the past, and it looks like that touch of beauty is still apparent on the Super Five. This unit features a three-inch display, sleek top-mounted controls and support for a smorgasbord of formats including RM, RMVB, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG, AVI and [...]
Nokia is showing off their new S60 Touch Interface at the Symbian Smartphone Show today. Unlike their last attempt, this effort was demonstrated on a more Nokia-like concept device. The touch-interface supports haptic feedback and accepts both finger and stylus inputs depending upon the display technology used.

Samsung just got busy with a trio of MP3, AAC, AAC+, e-AAC+, WMA, and WMDRM supporting musicphones: the dual-sliding SGH-i450, slim SGH-F330 with HSDPA, and SGH-F210 swivel stick. Most impressive is the €360/$508 Symbian i450 with Touch Wheel music navigation pictured above. Slide ‘er up and you’re holding an S60 3rd Edition smartphone with 3.6Mbps [...]
Considering that the war between HD DVD and Blu-ray is still raging, we’d really be hesitant to jump on board NME’s bandwagon. Nevertheless, New Medium Enterprises’ proprietary HD VMD players are starting to show up for under two Benjamins, but of course, there’s only a handful of notable films available on the format (for now, [...]
Microsoft has just released the first batch of Zune 2 and Zune Flash press pictures. In addition to the standard colors, there seems to be a green Zune Flash model as well. Click here for more pictures.
We’d seen the new Zune in red, pink and black (or whatever its called) but I was curious about [...]
Not that it’s of much consequence to those living outside Japan, but we got our hands on a Walkman NW-A910 1seg portable media player. If you know what the specs are and know what 1seg is, you don’t really need further commentary from the likes of us. Commence photo gallery.

Nice huh? That’s the latest Walkman from Sony. However, unless you live in Japan, you can forget about using it to watch your mobile digital TV. This little pup packs a 1Seg tuner, not DMB, DVB-H, or Flo. Measuring just 86.8 × 48 × 12.3-mm, the NW-A910 series player holds up to 16GB of flash [...]
