Thanko’s solar-powered DAP urges you outdoors

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

So we’ve seen a few solar-powered gizmos (that we wouldn’t touch with a ten twenty foot pole), but Thanko’s own sun-lovin’ DAP actually doesn’t look half bad. The Solar Digital Audio Player, from the front, looks like any other ho hum unit, with a 1.8-inch 220 x 176 resolution display, 4GB of internal storage space and a miniSD expansion slot. Flip ‘er over, and you’ll find a thoughtful kickstand that just so happens to have a solar panel slapped right on, enabling the brilliant, outdoor sunshine to give it a few more minutes of life. There’s no official word on a price or release date, but we wouldn’t bank on it ever coming Stateside, anyway.

iPod Touch Stress Tests

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Broken Review put the iPod Touch through their grueling stress test, this time everything from low drops to spilling tea over it, kicking it down stairs and throwing it in a bath. The Touch got 71/100 dying upon being thrown into water.

Tresling: it’s Tetris, with arm wrestling

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Given the multitude of ways Tetris has been tweaked already, we were beginning to wonder if the spectacular mods involving the famed title were dwindling down. Apparently not. Tresling is a brilliant creation involving a sophisticated arm wrestling board which converts tussling into block movements within the game. For each flinch, yank and pull, one’s block turns — if you can’t maintain your position, chances are that your figure will end up all out of place. Believe it or not, it actually looks even more fun on video, so check out the heated competition in the read link below.

Finally, the Buddha Phone

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

We’ll admit, there’s something strangely intriguing about the over-the-top design put forth by this gilded, Buddha-themed candybar turning up in the streets of Shenzhen. The shell is alleged to be stainless steel with a 24 karat gold plating — though we suspect that might only be true of the engraving on the back — and not a single square inch of the thing has been left without some sort of intricate detail that you’re not going to find on your average Nokia or Samsung. No proper Buddha phone would be complete without a microSD slot or a touchscreen, of course, and this example is no exception; it also seems that the phone has been blessed by a monk, so you shouldn’t have much trouble with evil spirits taking residence in your decidedly materialistic purchase. Seriously, how can you go wrong with a keypad that fancy?

Apple and Sony settle with Japanese battery burn victims

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008


Remember that Japanese couple who sued Apple and Sony over one of those famous burning batteries? Well it looks like the companies have decided to settle, and will pay the fire-damaged pair a total of ¥1.3 million (or around $13,000). Of course, this is a bit less than the absurdly low $16,700 the two were asking, but percentage-wise they didn’t make out too badly. During the trial, Apple Japan apparently accepted responsibility for the incident but couldn’t justify settling out of court due to a request for “excessive compensation,” while Sony maintained its distance by suggesting a link between the battery and burns wasn’t clear. We’re sure the guy who made the trip to the hospital thinks otherwise.

Nokia’s 6212 with Bluetooth NFC: Let the pairing revolution begin!

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

This is the day we’ve been waiting for. While the 3G Nokia 6212 classic doesn’t look like much, what it lacks in style is more than made up by the genius of Bluetooth-enabled Near Field Communication. If you remember the video we showed you way back in March of 2007, the combo makes device pairing and transferring content like photos, video, music, calendar data, contacts, etc. as easy a touching the phone to a NFC-enabled picture frame, cellphone, speaker, or headset like Nokia’s own NFC-variant of the BH-210. It will also work with NFC payment systems. According to Jeremy Belostock, the Head of Near Field Communications at Nokia, “NFC-capable handsets such as the Nokia 6212 classic are set to change the way mobile phone users interact with devices and services in their surroundings.” You said it Jeremy, you said it. Expected to start shipping in Europe and Asia in the Q3 for about €200.

Broken Reviews PSP stress test

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

From www.brokenreview.com
Broken Review is back with another stress test this time of the PSP Slim + Lite

“Overall score - 65/100

The Sony PSP Slim is put through a series of tests, including high, low, slow, and fast drops. Being thrown, stood on, scratched with coins and keys, covered in tea, and more! It is finally destroyed and then torn to pieces.”

Broken Review - Nintendo DS Lite gets repeatedly busted for ’science’

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Broken Review

Well, maybe about 40% science and 60% “haha, awesome.” A new website called Broken Review puts electronics through a battery of tests (or, rather, the tests are battery) to determine their durability. The first item they experiment on? A poor DS Lite.In the beginning, the tests are simple, everyday situations: how scratched does a DS Lite get in a pants pocket with keys? But in subsequent tests, the DS is beaten, scratched, run over, submerged, and dropped from increasing distances — on video! It survives for much longer than we expected! This could be very useful if you’re planning to throw your DS out a window.

To view the videos and review head over to www.brokenreview.com and click onto tests.

Text it loud & local

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

Springwise always enjoys simple new business ideas that somehow hook up the local, loud, inebriated offline world with the ubiquitous interaction only possible in cyberspace. Check out Wiffiti, a service that enables people to send text messages to large flat panel displays in venues such as cafes, bars and clubs. Messages sent to Wiffiti screens are also visible on the service’s website, encouraging people to text from anywhere and then watch responses from across the US, if not the world.

How it works: every Wiffiti screen displays its own unique screen ID and the number to text one’s message to. Texted messages show up in seconds. Besides replying, other users can also grow or fade messages by texting commands and a message’s tag to the same screen.

The first Wiffiti screen was installed in January 2006 at Someday Café in Boston, MA, a city that now has three additional Wiffiti screens. Other screens can be found in Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Knoxville, Boulder and New York. Costs for a user are the same as for sending a standard text/SMS message.

Makes for a great conversation starter, pick-up tool or interactive soapbox, and should go down well in other cities and locales around the globe, especially as the rest of the world is truly SMS obsessed. And don’t forget, there’s ALWAYS money to be made the moment you figure out how to get consumers to start sending text messages.

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Medify Solutions Limited (Pink Sheets - MFYS) today announced that its product portfolio will be available on BlackBerry® handsets.

The MedifyRemote application allows mobile access to patient notes and clinical systems in real time, helping doctors and nurses to provide better, more efficient and more informed quality care to their patients. The launch of MedifyRemote for BlackBerry, from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM), will enable healthcare professionals to securely access, update and review patient records from any location using a BlackBerry handset. This brings more choice and increased mobile functionality to healthcare professionals in both the UK’s NHS and healthcare organisations globally.

In addition to secure access to clinical data on the move, healthcare professionals will be able to benefit from proven and popular BlackBerry features including access to ‘push-based’ email, phone, SMS, web browsing, organiser, instant messaging and other corporate data applications, all in a single easy-to-use handset.

“Secure access to email, information and clinical notes via BlackBerry, the market’s leading mobile solution, will make a real difference to the working lives of our healthcare professionals and to the quality of care received by patients,” said Ian O’Reilly, CEO, Medify Solutions Group. “In the UK, this solution will be provided through Medify’s accredited connection to N3; the national electronic NHS spine. MedifyRemote will be available pre-loaded onto BlackBerry handsets or as an add-on application. This launch is another important step in extending the reach of the MedifyRemote application and in Medify Solutions’ commercial progress.”

Nokia N93 camcorder phone

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Nokia wants us to give up our cameras and embrace the future, as they see it, of integrated devices - those being mainly Nokia devices, obviously. The N series have been squarely aimed at achieving that and with the N93 they have certainly taken a step in the right direction. The N93 is Nokia’s new flagship camera phone, so how does it line up against to the competition?

The N93 takes its photographic capabilities seriously, to such an extent that the phone sometimes feels as though it has a small video camera mounted on top - which effectively, it has. The camera might be a little bulky, but that space is needed to house a 3.2 megapixel device with a Carl Zeiss lens and, more importantly, a 3x optical zoom. The addition of a proper lens-cap further reinforces the seriousness, but is going to be difficult to replace when it - inevitably - gets lost.

Motorola gains ground on Nokia

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Motorola continues to make in-roads into Nokia’s share of the mobile phone market, increasing its share to 22 per cent during the second quarter.

Around 229m mobile phones were sold worldwide during the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 18 per cent on the same period last year, according to research firm Gartner, which said the total number of handsets sold during the quarter increased by nearly 40m on the same period last year.

Though Nokia maintained its top position in the market, increasing its share from 31.6 per cent in 2005 to 33.6 per cent, the Finnish giant is feeling the heat from its US rival Motorola whose Razr and Slvr phones are proving a worldwide hit.

During the quarter Motorola gained over four per cent of the market to claim a 21.9 per cent share, compared to 17.7 per cent in 2005. The US mobile manufacturer sold 50.2m handsets globally during the quarter, compared to the 77.1m that Nokia shipped.

Changing the language on a Mio A700/A701

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Warning: This will erase all settings on your phone and all files stored on the phones internal memory. Please backup your data before you continue. Preforming this process could potentially brick your phone. This can only be used to change your phones language to english there is a Dutch rom available here, however I have not tested it and cannot guarentee that it works.

The Mio A701 is a great phone, but if you bought it in a non-english speaking country the chances are the phone is going to be stuck in a foreign language, which can be incredibly annoying.

Mio will tell you there’s nothing that can be done, however ROMs that are used to update the phone can also be used to change the language. The first ROM I tried was an official ROM, straight from Mio’s website, using this ROM caused me to loose all sound on my Mio, which didn’t really work for me. I then found this website. and downloaded the R51 WWE (world wide english) ROM, you need to extract the files using WinRAR for Windows or SimplyRAR for you Mac users. Alternatively you can download the extracted files from our website, links are provided below this post.

Once the files are downloaded you need to plug your phone into your computer or throw your SD card into a card reader and place the files WINCEIMG.BIN and RomUp_SD.exe in the same folder anywhere
on your phones SD card.

Next you need to unplug your phone or insert your SD card, plug it into the mains power and open up File
Explorer. Navigate to the folder on your SD card that you saved the files in and run RomUp_SD.exe. You will see a user
agreement, check the box and click next, the device should restart and then the install should begin, it takes about 10 minutes or so to
complete. Do not unplug the mains power supply at any time,
doing so could cause the update to fail and wreck your phone.

Once the update is complete you have a brand new copy of Windows Mobile on your A700/701 and can delete the
RomUP_SD.exe and WINCEIMG.BIN files, restore your files and settings and  enjoy your phone in english.

I haven’t noticed any downsides and my battery actually lasts 3 times longer now. I’ve been using the update for a week.

PlayAway Books: The Pre-loaded Digital Audio Book

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

If you like audiobooks but don’t like downloading them and getting them onto your iPod, you can try the PlayAway book. It’s about the size of an iPod Mini and comes with earbuds and a lanyard to wear around your neck, so everyone knows what you’re listening to. The “books” come preloaded with one of a few books, like “Anansi Boys,” John Grisham’s “The Broker,” Stephen King’s “Cell” and “The Da Vinci Code”.

Each title costs $34.95, and is powered by an AAA battery. After you’ve listened to them once, we suppose you’re supposed to give or toss them away. But it would probably be nice to pick one up at the airport if accidentally left your music player at home.

Sony officially launches pink PSP

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

It’s official - Sony is indeed going to offer a pink PlayStation Portable in association, we’re told, with the chart-topping pop chanteuse of the same name the better to attract “young women with freedom, confidence and attitude” to the platform. Unlike the upcoming pink PS2, the salmon-hued portable console doesn’t ship with appropriately tinted accessories - including a 32MB Memory Stick Duo and a Pink UMD - but it too is a limited edition, Sony said. It’ll be in European shops on 27 October priced at £169/€229.
