Bang & Olufsen CEO gets the boot for falling sales, profits

Filed under: Review - 11 Jan 2008

That Bang & Olufsen management team is certain a vindictive bunch. A teensy little 37% drop in profits that year, plummeting sales and a tanking stock price and CEO Torben Sorensen is out on the street. The firing of Sorensen leaves what some are calling “a managerial hoover in the company,”…

PMP51 “MP4 MP3 super game” does it all

Filed under: Review - 11 Jan 2008

While a bit indistinct in the whole naming station, that new no-name OEM PMP51 PMP is actually packing a fairly a spec sheet. The primary focus of the handheld is supposedly 32 bit gaming, but sadly SNES is nowhere to be found. But lucky for us there’s Game Boy Advance play, in addition to Game …

Where’s that Year’s iPhone?

Filed under: Review - 11 Jan 2008

About to visit my first-ever Macworld, I’m reminded of the coverage I read from afar about final year’s event. All eyes were on the iPhone — will it or won’t it compose an appearance? Will Apple stock tank whether it doesn’t? Will it blow up whether it does? Will it even be called an “iPhon…

Macworld 2008 banners popping up: “There’s something in the air”

Filed under: Review - 11 Jan 2008

Gotta love those indistinct, suggestive statements Apple puts on its event banners before the big show. that year’s Macworld Expo banners read “There’s something in the air” — but even whether that something isn’t a whole lot of new wireless / cellular gear, there’s certainly no shortage of bre…

Video: Hands-on with Gibson’s Robot Guitar

Filed under: Review - 11 Jan 2008

certain, it’s been out for a little while, but considering how many Engadget editors play guitar (and the fact that Pete just started RCRD LBL), we figured we had to stop by Gibson’s booth-bus complex and give the Robot Guitar a shot. The self-tuning axe actually weighs a little less than a regular …
