Acer’s N280-powered Aspire One D150 has already been reviewed, but considering that we’ve yet to have the pleasure of meeting, we took that very opportunity today while parked at the company’s CeBIT booth. A trio of colors were around for demoing, so we walked our camera around to tag all three. You know the critics think this machine’s a-okay, but

Ok, we’re not exactly sure what happened here but someone definitely screwed the pooch when assembling a recent FCC application. We’re guessing someone at Toshiba fell asleep at the wheel when slapping its FCC application together but the bottom line is it looks like we now have preliminary details on another new handset from Toshiba. Despite the fact that the

Verizon Wireless must be feeling the sting of losing customers to AT&T due the popularity of the iPhone. A reader just alerted us to a survey peppered with iPhone references that was presented to him upon cancellation of his Verizon account. The coup d’etat was the question that posed, “What could Verizon Wireless have offered to keep you as a

2009 started off with a quite the bang as the entire 2009 line-up from HTC was leaked. A few of those handsets, most notably the Diamond2, Touch Pro2 and Magic have already been announced, but the rest of them have not.

While most of Hama’s CeBIT booth consisted of random USB drives, cases and other sorts of low-rate accessories, this particular low-rate accessory grabbed our hearts and wouldn’t let go. The absurdly titled Game Wheel Speed-X is evidently geared to work with Apple’s latest iPod touch, though we reckon an iPhone 3G should slide right in without too much effort. Clearly,

When you’re dealing with a major signal reception issue on a phone, it’s easy to believe that the problem isn’t gonna go away without retooling the innards and releasing revised hardware — but for North American owners (and would-be owners) of Nokia’s stricken NAM version of the 5800 XpressMusic, there’s new hope. The Nokia Blog is claiming that word from

Looking to hook your laptop up to your Kindle 2 and do a bit of free-riding on its built-in 3G modem? Then this is not the hack for you. If, on the other hand, you’ve been pining to browse the web on your Kindle and eschew the convenience of wireless connectivity, then you’re in luck! Apparently, the Kindle 2 has

While MSI’s X-Slim line no doubt garnered the most attention at its massive CeBIT booth, we found a few other gems that our camera just couldn’t ignore. Take the Wind U123 for instance — which was camped out with a Intel N280 processor, the incredibly aged GMA 950 graphics set, the old 945GSE chipset (as opposed to the GN40, which

Apparently somebody has trickled a few more details about the sets out, as we get a better look at the when, the where, and the all-important how much. Of course, we have to preface the info on the following six sets with the fact that we’ve no way to know the

The Samsung Memoir has been rumored to make its way to the nation’s newest 3G network for a very, very long time. Starting today, however, it’s available in all of T-Mobile’s retail stores, online, and over the phone. Samsung’s high-end optics on handsets are nothing new, but an 8 megapixel sensor certainly trumps anything available in the U.S. market (sold

We knew this one was coming, thanks to the official announcement from AT&T and Pantech at last week’s MWC, but it looks like the two companies have gone ahead and made this bad boy available for the world to abuse. Early reports place the Pantech Matrix Pro in stores right…about…now. You can head down and pick one up for the
