Etretouchy Lets Geeks Finger in the Cold

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

etretouchy.jpgWell, finger their gadgets at least. The Etretouchy is basically a pair of gloves with holes that leave both hands’ index fingers and thumbs exposed. It’s easy to see that this geeky sort of apparel will keep hands warm, while allowing reasonable accuracy when tapping or touching your way through a gadget’s features.

Here’s the thing: are you willing to pay £15, when you can just buy a normal pair of gloves for around £5, and cut holes in them? But then again, you’ll be amazed at how many people are lazy enough to pay an extra £10 for convenience.

Wordpress 2.6 Killed Our Love Of Wordpress

Monday, November 10th, 2008

We’d been faithful and steadfast to Wordpress for a very long time. Over the years, the increasing numbers of people that asked for recommendation for a blogging tool, we’d enthusiastically promote Wordpress as the tool of choice.
We’ve held the Wordpress faith until we upgraded Isle of Wight News site, VentnorBlog, a sister site of Digital-Lifestyles, […]

Aruba Networks, Babylon provide WiFi for US soldiers in Iraq

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Filed under: ,

Aruba Networks already installed the “world’s largest” WLAN network at The Ohio State University, but its latest deployment just seems strangely more, how do we say… patriotic. Tag-teaming with Babylon Telecommunications, the pair has rolled out a WiFi network that will provide internet access to over 20,000 US soldiers at Joint Base Balad in Iraq. Believe it or not, there was no existing authorized web access at the base before these two stepped in, but thanks to a contract awarded by the Army &amp Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES), troops at the largest US military base in the region can now e-mail loved ones with ease, test their ping times from the sandbox and join a few online poker tournaments during down time.

Color mirasol-equipped Freestyle Audio DAP gets spec’d, no closer to release

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Filed under: , ,

Well, wouldn’t you know it? Just after we bash Qualcomm for talking up its second color mirasol-based design before shipping the first, along comes a little justification of our actions. Over in San Francisco, said company is trumpeting an item that we first heard about back in May, but regrettably, it doesn’t sound as if we’re any closer to getting a release date. What we are told is the device’s name: the Freestyle Audio Soundwave Ltd. Edition, or — more formally — the F4. It’ll boast a 0.9-inch color mirasol display, a waterproof casing, built-in Bluetooth, and a whole host of other niceties that we’re sure to find out about before the next decade dawns. ‘Til then, we’d suggest a hearty helping of patience.

Hands-on with Sprint’s Touch Pro

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Filed under: ,

Oh, come on, you know there’s a part of you that wants it. A big part, even. The Touch Diamond is the first new HTC piece to get teed up for Sprint, but the Touch Pro is hot on its heels a few weeks later — and with a QWERTY keyboard, it’s hard to ignore. Question is, is it worth the extra wait? Well, ease your troubled mind for just a second and take a gander at our gallery on Engadget Mobile — we’re not saying it’s going to make your decision any easier, we’re just saying everyone likes pretty pictures.

Finally! A Keyboard for the PSP

Monday, September 8th, 2008

You know what really sucked? Logitech almost came out with an add-on keyboard for the PlayStation Portable, only to cancel it since Sony wouldn’t provide enough info for the project to fly. Ah, but Sony will never stop the hackers. Case in point: a mod that gets the XBox chatpad to work as a surrogate keyboard for the popular gaming portable.

Cna someone come out with friendly DIY instructions? Typing convenience for the PSP masses is long overdue! (acidmods.com)

How to reveal blocked caller ID info: a video guide to risky behavior

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Filed under: ,

Revealing caller ID

Let’s say for some reason someone has his or her caller ID blocked and is calling you all the time. Let’s then say you really want to know who that person is for, you know, whatever reason — not that we’d know anything about that. Some crafty phreaker types have come up with a way to do this using an enterprise-spec asterisk box and a SIP trunk provider. In a demonstration video, a hacker tweaks said asterisk box with some new configurations to strip out privacy flags, forward the call to another number, and ultimately reveal caller ID information which, surprisingly, is still available. This isn’t mean to be easy, but if the terms “prepend,” “SIP trunk,” and “asterisk box” don’t scare you away, go ahead and watch the video after the break. Big disclaimer: we’re not responsible for your broken gear, jail time, or restraining orders.

HTC Victor gets de-glitzed, unboxed

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Filed under:

We actually rather like the Tumbler-like stealth rear surface of the HTC Touch Diamond, but if you’re trying to roll a little more Wayne, a more straightlaced edition dubbed “Victor” announced back in May with a flat rear end is now shipping. Apart from that it doesn’t look like there’s anything new going on here, so we′ll see if any Stateside carriers offer this version any time soon.

Keepin’ it real fake, part CXXV: Touch Diamond gets aped sans luster

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Filed under:

Not that we’d view the actual Touch Diamond as IF or anything, but the Diamond J6 is more along the lines of I3. In all seriousness, this thing isn’t too far from being spot-on identical (maybe it’s an HTC thing?), with a 2.8-inch display, built-in camera, multimedia player, Bluetooth and a microSD card slot. And for $160, we’re almost inclined to fall in love here… almost.

HTC Touch Diamond gets FCC clearance, smells like CDMA

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Filed under: ,

Well, looky here! Not happy with the Touch Dual or Touch Pro, you saucy CDMA lovers, you? Try this one on for size then: the last piece in HTC’s EV-DO puzzle for 2008 has now hit the FCC, the Touch Diamond — and though only Telus has managed to announce it so far, we’re feeling good about plenty of other carriers on the CDMA train recognizing the importance of this device and signing on before too long. We see test reports for WiFi, too, though we imagine it′ll be at carriers’ descretions to disable it if they’re so inclined. Let’s get a move on, Sprint. You too, Verizon, don’t think we don’t see you whistling over there in the corner.

Samsung i900 Omnia vs. HTC Touch Diamond… fight!

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Filed under:

At this point, neither the HTC Touch Diamond nor the Samsung i900 Omnia need any introduction, but we’re happy to announce that these two have stepped into the squared circle and faced off in an epic nine-page battle. Reviewers manhandled both phones for an extended time and broke down the UI, hardware, features and overall usability, so if that sounds like something you’d be interested in, cover your face and head on down to the read link. We’re warning you though, it gets ugly.

[Thanks, Chavdar]

HTC’s NEON400: a CDMA Touch Dual?

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Filed under: ,

In HTC parlance, the “Neon″ codename denotes a device of the Touch Dual form factor — original Touch styling plus a slider keyboard, a drill we all know by now. This particular form factor seems to be a pretty popular one, too, considering the sheer number of variants HTC’s turned out at this point, we have one for Europe, one for North America, and one for Japan, and a new FCC filing suggests that there’s still at least one more trick in that pony. The so-called NEON400 doesn’t give much away from the ID label document that we see here, but test reports indicate that it’s sporting CDMA 850 / 1900 — just right for launching on Sprint, Verizon, Alltel — you get the idea — and obviously, we’ll see EV-DO in there as well. Against the Touch Diamond, the Dual is starting to look just a little dated, but it gets that all-important keypad that the Diamond lacks — so even networks that end up launching the Diamond can realistically make room for this one in the lineup when it’s announced. By someone other than the FCC, that is.
