Gadgets’n'Gizmos Friday
Fresh from the pipe is a new legion of new doodads for your slackerly endeavors on this Friday morning:
- RIM, apparently not content to sit around and smirk about the Storm and the Bold, are working on some super phone with a 5mp camera, all sorts of wacky 3G/4G connectivity, 1GB of memory and a list of other niceties.
- Asus is applying the “Eee PC” moniker to everything now that they’ve had a smashing success with their netbook. The newest product carrying the diluted name is a mini desktop.
- Could Orange in the UK be halting sales of the Blackberry Bold due to previously-unknown software issues? Could this be the source of my pain?
- HTC is unveiling their first WiMax-enabled mobile phone. This thing is smoking hot. It combines the aesthetics of their awarded Touch Diamond with the beautiful screen of the Touch HD.
- Seagate is going solid state!
- A mouse with 15 buttons. Sure, it’s junked up with more marketing than you can shake a Shivering Felspine at, but fifteen mouse buttons excites me.
- Panasonic goes 32nm?! WTF? Panasonic? Seriously?
- Maybe you don’t need 3G connectivity or don’t think that the Bold is for you. Perhaps you’d be interested in the Javelin, or Blackberry’s Curve 8900. It’s the Bold with a new keyboard and a pedestrian EDGE radio.
- Are you tired of blitzing your wallet by leaving your PS3 on to charge your PS3 controllers? Blitz no more as now you can plug ‘em straight into the wall.
- That fussy old Microsoft-adopting-blu-ray-for-Xbox rumor is back and once more gaining strength. Speculate yonder. PS, SNES is best. UPDATE @ 12:24 PM: Microsoft says it’s just not true.
Go forth and salivate. More gadgets will join the ranks throughout the day as they roll in.
