Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Filed under: Digital Cameras
Another colorful point-and-shoot, you say? Yes, but with a difference: General Imaging’s E-1050 uses Geotate’s intelligent approach to geotagging your photos. Add that to a 10-megapixel sensor, 5x zoom, electronic image stabilization and face detection and red eye remova…

Filed under: Review - 31 Jan 2008

Filed under: Cellphones
Alright, HTC Touch owners — who’s going to take the hit and install that leaked build of TouchFLO 2.0 that’s been spreading around under the codename Manila? From the screenshots, it looks like it does a better job of taking by from the standard WinMo interface, but it still…

Jelly visit: it’s an inflatable mouse, not a whoopee cushion

Filed under: Review - 31 Jan 2008

Filed under: Peripherals
For the individual first on the waiting list for inflatable garb (and the average traveler looking to trim down that carry-on), the Jelly go is fairly the dream come true. Granted, it seems as whether that blow-up critter is merely a concept at the moment, but that’s not to …

Filed under: Review - 31 Jan 2008

Filed under: Digital Cameras
Step on down into Nikon’s booth with us. Lots of goodies on display here, but what really struck us was how much the central section of the booth was taken up by (gasp!) photos. Seriously, it had a bit of a gallery feel, apart from with way more humans. But we’re here…

Motorola officially considering dropping its phone unit

Filed under: Review - 31 Jan 2008

Rumor no longer, Motorola is taking a tough look at its Mobile Devices unit and might very well give those slackers the ol’ Freescale treatment and spin off the division as a separate company. that sort of love ‘em and leave ‘em tactic is uncommonly a bit of a habit with Motorola when times are …

Filed under: Digital Cameras, GPS
The highlight of an otherwise lackluster PMA 2008 came not from Nikon, Canon, or any of the other big name companies, but rather General Imaging: GE’s new camera division announced that it will release one of the world’s first point-and-shoots with embedded GPS. Wel…

Pentagon’s “Cyber Storm” war game simulates blogger leaks, train disorder — wait, blogger leaks?

Filed under: Review - 31 Jan 2008

You’ve got to give the Pentagon credit for imagining every possible threat scenario in its latest wargame, dubbed “Cyber Storm,” but the plotline that date around is pretty wild. Starting with an electronic attack on the Port Authority of New Jersey, major new networks and bloggers spread “belie…

Filed under: Review - 31 Jan 2008

We’ve harshed on GE’s cameras before, but the company showed up at PMA with a new model called the E1050 (pictured) that’s actually pretty slick. The 10 megapixel shooter features a 5x optical zoom, HD-res video mode, HDMI out, a 3-inch touchscreen, and an integrated GPS radio that syncs up …
