Hack connects T-Mobile G1 to iPod dock

As you all may know, HTC decided not to put a 3.5 millimeter jack on the T-Mobile G1, which calls for this exquisite hack. The brilliant modders over at WebNetta put together a little adapter which converts the audio input from a normal 30 pin iPod connector, to the mini-usb adapter supplied on the G1. [...]

Engadget, Gizmodo review BlackBerry Storm: it’s almost there, not quite ready for showtime

Both Engadget and Gizmodo posted reviews of the long awaited, first-ever BlackBerry touchscreen, codename “Apple Killer”, BlackBerry Storm. After reading and analyzing both, they share the same overall point: it’s not quite there yet and if developed for more time, it would be better. I won’t try and quote the reviews, but I’ll just tell you [...]

iPhone app review: SplashShopper and SplashID

I’ve been testing these applications for a little over a week now and they definitely have their niche markets.

BlackBerry Storm (or the Thunder) gets touched on video, “I don’t like it”

For the first review of the top secret “Apple Killer” as RIM has called it, it hasn’t scored to well. As we’ve known before, the Storm only has four physical buttons, but we didn’t know the screen is one giant button. We’ve learned from the video the device does have an accelerometer and the screen’s [...]

TestFreaks.com – a new review site

It may not be technology ‘news’, but it does relate to technology and gadgets. After doing some searches on the ‘net, I recently came upon Test Freaks. The interesting fact about this site is that it doesn’t have one review, but it grabs tons of reviews from all over the web. It lets users see [...]

Wii Fit: out in the US and ready to get you Fit

Wii Fit was released in all major US stores yesterday, and we were lucky enough to get one. The game/fitness device retails for $90, but is pretty much sold out in populated areas. I haven’t got a bunch of extensive use with ‘it,’ but I did get through Body Test and get to try out [...]

Canon Vixia HF10 HD camcorder has arrived

Canon has out done itself yet again, this time with the Vixia HF10. Canon’s consumer HD camcorder is a sleek black, has a 12X optical zoom (more than the average consumer camcorder), and has a 16GB flash drive built-in. With great video quality and the ability to shoot ‘Cinema’ style movies, this camcorder is definitely [...]

Mario Kart Wii: the race has begun

Mario Kart Wii finally made its debut yesterday, and is now available in the US. It includes the Wii Wheel attachment to make the driving seem even more realistic, but also lets you use the Classic Controller or the older GameCube controller. The game, a title that most Wii owners have been craving for, provides for an [...]
