Switched On: Sony’s forward Dash

On February 23, 2010, In Gadgets, Technology, by Lobo

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On , a column about consumer technology. In its introductory press release, here’s what Sony has to say about the Dash , a “personal Internet viewer” that it announced at CES: “Featuring a vivid 7-inch color touch screen… Dash utilizes an existing home wireless connection to continuously deliver Internet content to its viewers.” And according to its SonyStyle.com site, here’s what that Dash has to say about itself: “I use over 1,500 free apps and your Wi-Fi connection to deliver the information and entertainment you crave…

Unannounced BlackBerry Curve 8910 took CES refuge at Case-Mate’s booth?

On January 25, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

RIM has an interesting reputation in the trade show world: it rarely makes any announcements of interest or consequence during events, but if you look hard enough, you still might just find something juicy.

Pico projectors caught in the wild, one on a camcorder, one in Samsung’s W9600 cellphone (video)

On January 15, 2010, In Gadgets, videos, by Lobo

Yeah, we know: you haven’t bought a pico projector and you really have no plan to do so. Still, it’s kind of fun to see them doing their thing, beaming little, dim images onto walls from improbably small boxes

The Onion Reveals The Real Highlights Of CES

On January 13, 2010, In Gadgets, News, by Lobo

By Andrew Liszewski It’s impossible for any single news organization to cover everything shown at CES, but thankfully The Onion has distilled the show down to a brief highlight list covering some of the more important reveals and announcements made this year. And oddly enough, RCA’s Airnergy Charger almost seems like it belongs on this list too. [ The Onion - Highlights of the Consumer Electronics Show ] VIA [ CrunchGear ]

Philips Cam, Muse and Ariaz mark a renaissance for the boring PMP

On January 13, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

This is soon enough to market that it’s hard to blame the iPod nano specifically for its appearance, but either way it seems that the Philips Cam is the newest member to the oh-so-small club of MP3 / camera combos. The new player is joined in its life of crime by the new Muse and Ariaz, which at last offer a higher-end aspect to Philips ‘ long-lackluster PMP lineup. The Cam does up a 1.8-inch screen, 8GB of storage and a 2 megapixel camera for $100, but the Muse has a full 3.2-inches of touchscreen, 16GB of flash, SD expansion and HDMI out for a mere $50 more

Panasonic 2010 point and shoot line hands-on

On January 13, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

We’re just cleaning out the rest of our memory cards from CES, and we totally forgot this moment of unintentional hilarity while grabbing a quick hands-on with Panasonic’s new point-and-shoot line — that’s the new touchscreen DMC-FP3, asking for the name of our baby. Sadly, we were not able to provide it with one, and it responded by continuing to have a somewhat wonky hybrid touchscreen-and-buttons control scheme.

Nanobrick Miyoul OLED media frames are for your luxurious inner-self

On January 13, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

Remember those elegant mantelpieces with OLED infusion launched at CES ? Turns out they’re from a company called Nanobrick that dubs this product range Miyoul. Most of the 11 models sport multiple screens — either 3.3-inch or 4.1-inch — but such indulgence seems to be out of touch with current OLED prices, not to mention the cost of craftsmanship on top of that

Viliv N5 MID hands-on, HD5 PMP makes a cameo

On January 13, 2010, In Gadgets, videos, by Lobo

For those of you hoping that Viliv’s aesthetic excellence will somehow make magic out of the 4.8-inch flip MID form factor , you might want to look away right about now. We too were hoping that Viliv could somehow sprinkle fairy dust on the errors of something like the UMID mBook BZ , but sadly the N5 is no such MID

Hivision’s $149 Android-based netbook reminds us we’re not really shopping for a netbook right now

On January 12, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

We know, we know, it’s only $149! What could possibly be stopping us from entering the marvelous world of Android-powered netbooking? Well, maybe it’s the fact that it’s been tried before, and just didn’t make any sense . Maybe for someone who doesn’t have $50 more to get a “real” netbook, or $150 more to get a “great” netbook , it could make sense to be subjected to a 7-inch screen, 500MHz ARM Cortex A9 processor in the name of “lightweight” web surfing, but we’d like to imagine we have a little more self esteem than that.

Wireless power takes another baby step at CES 2010 with Qi standard

On January 12, 2010, In Gadgets, videos, by Lobo

It’s our third year visiting with Fulton Innovation and the eCoupled wireless power booth at CES, and once again there’s significant progress to be seen — this time in the form of actual shipping products like the Case-mate Hug and the Dell Latitude Z . Fulton’s really pushing the industry standard angle with eCoupled — it’s a founding member of the Wireless Power Consortium , which is just a few months away from finalizing a standard based on eCoupled called Qi
