GamePark’s GP2X Caanoo handheld hits this August, picks up where the Wiz left off (video)

While we’re not sure just how we missed it, it seems GamePark was at E3 2010 in force, with a brand-new Linux gaming portable called the Caanoo. Though it’s got the same 533MHz ARM9 processor as its wizardly predecessor , GamePark’s doubled the memory to 128MB, and added a dedicated 3D GPU to power the larger 3.5-inch touchscreen.

Acer’s LumiRead 600 hits the FCC with slow bursts of 2.4GHz radiation

Admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:12:00 +0000

Acer’s 6-inch LumiRead e-reader just hit the FCC, but there’s not a lot to learn — the company smartly withheld the user’s manual and detailed images, so all we have are the triplicate forms of stalwart government employees trying to irradiate themselves. Those thankfully painless tests reveal that the Kindle-alike will have standard 802.11b/g WiFi alongside its monochrome E Ink screen, and the whole 532MHz Freescale iMX357 kit will be powered by a 3.7V, 1460mAh battery.

Cyanogen squeezes Android 2.2 Froyo into G1, MyTouch 3G

Admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:20:00 +0000

Earlier this evening, we took the plunge — now, we’re rocking Froyo on our old-and-busted T-Mobile G1. That’s because Cyanogen’s team of ROM hackers has come through once again for the little handset that could, serving early adopters with HTC Dream and Magic phones (as well as the Nexus One) with the first fully-functioning, stable build of CyanogenMod 6. Based on Google’s famous frozen yogurt , the release candidate’s got more fabulous tweaks than you can shake a stick at, but sadly doesn’t seem to include Flash 10.1 , and though WiFi and the camera are working great (as well as SurfaceFlinger and Chrome to Phone ) many would-be shoppers in the Android Market are finding themselves faced with the dreaded force close

Mysterious Dell Mini 3v outted by Chinese mobile regulator, doesn’t know its OS

Admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:35:00 +0000

Fancy playing a game of “guess the phone?” Dell’s got one for you — the folks over at Chinese mobile regulator TENAA have once again prematurely outed another handset from said computer giant. As usual, there’s no mention on the screen size, screen type or even the OS, but we’re told that this plain-looking Mini 3v runs on both TD-SCDMA (i.e. China Mobile ) and GSM networks (HSDPA supported)

Cowon’s V5W PMP: a V5 with 100 percent more WiFi

Admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 07:12:00 +0000

What do you get when you marry a V5 with WiFi? Why, a V5W, of course! Cowon’s sexy V5 portable media player — a device we (mostly) loved on back in March — has just gained the primary feature that we argued should’ve been included from the start.

iriver WiFi Story turns to the ‘overpriced wireless connectivity’ chapter

Outside of a perhaps too strong resemblance to the Kindle, there was nothing much to fault the iriver Story when we played with it back in January.

TWC rebadges Sprint Overdrive, offers it as IntelliGo mobile 3G / 4G hotspot

And then, there were three. Three ways to snag an Overdrive , that is. Months after Sprint issued the original 3G / 4G mobile hotspot, Clear came along and introduced a rebadged version of the same thing

Amazon Kindle dual-screen e-reader patent granted, Barnes & Noble Nook potentially in trouble

Admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:04:00 +0000

Looks like the battle for e-reader dominance between Amazon and Barnes & Noble could soon expand beyond the recent spate of price drops and into the courtroom as well: the USPTO just granted a 2006 Amazon patent on e-readers with secondary LCD displays (like the original Kindle’s scroller-navigation panel ), and several of the claims are potentially broad enough to cover the Nook and many other devices with both electronic paper and LCD displays. What’s more, Amazon agreed not to file for any corresponding foreign patents during the four-year approval process and thus wasn’t required to publish the patent application — meaning this is likely a complete surprise to the entire industry
