Engadget managed to take a look at the handset whilst filming the Engadget Show. A quick look at the picture above shows that it appears to have the right things in place to qualify as a Windows Phone 7 Series handset such as it having 3 hardware buttons below the screen and a large high-res screen that’s capacitive touch.

Back at CES in Vegas last month, Casio had on display a concept camera called the Casio EX-10HG. This particular camera is similar to EX-FH100 but is different in that it has a built in GPS chip. The GPS chip is utilised more than just geo-tagging though and can be used as a guidance system by pulling data from Google Maps to show you exactly where you are at any given time.

The Samsung Waves comes with a 1GHz processor along with a 3.3 inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen display that can show 800 x 480 pixels. The Super AMOLED screen claims to have no motion blur, be ultra crisp and true to the original colours that it represents on-screen. The quick 1GHz processor allows for HD video to be played back smoothly as well as applications also run smoothly. We’ve seen how 1GHz processors perform in the past on other various devices and have definitely seen an increase in performance when used over slower 500 – 600MHz CPU’s. [Read more…]

Samsung have launched their new 3D HDTV and it’s ready for pre-order now. Three versions of the TV are being made available to purchase which includes three Samsung C70000 models each of which have a built-in 3D processor. The three screens measure 40 inches, 46 inches or 55 inches depending on which model you purchase.
The 40 inch C7000 is the cheapest of the models (no surprise there) and costs $1,799.98 although for some reason the 3D glasses required to use the TV in 3D mode. Each TV uses 250Hz Clear Motion Technology and each has Internet@TV enabled for use.
The built in 3D processor was designed with the new Blu-Ray 3D standard in mind and therefore, you shouldn’t have the worries that the technology will be out-dated as soon as it leaves pre-order status. [Read more…]
Yesterday we mentioned a new Nokia N series phone that was rumoured to be launching or at least unveiled at MWC this month. The phone was spotted as the Nokia N8 although perhaps the N8 was referring to this Nokia N87 smartphone as the specs look very similar.

For storage it is expected to have either 16GB or 32GB onboard. [Read more…]
Etsy seller randall180 created a unique lamp for an office desk out of the casing of an old iMac G4. The iMac had stopped working a while back, so randall180 decided to put it to good use, carve out the innards and make him self a light for the office.
For those of you who wanted to get your hands on the lamp, it’s actually out of stock now. I assume only the original was available to purchase due to the 1 G4 breaking down. Check out another picture after the jump. [Read more…]
