Zero watch concept perfects the minimal timepiece

March 15, 2010

Unless you’re a fan of high-tech jewelry, few things are as irksome as an overblown wristwatch design (we’re looking at you Tokyoflash ). While a binary timepiece will certainly up your geek cred, it’s not very useful for providing at-a-glance information. Robert Dabi’s Zero concept above, however, remains simple, beautiful, and amazingly enough, useful , all that same time.

Hanvon’s multitouch tablet previewed, surfaces in China March 25th with 1080p playback

March 15, 2010

Though cheap Android craptablets were a commodity item at CeBIT 2010, that doesn’t mean we didn’t find the occasional diamond in the rough. Specifically, the Hanvon Touchpad BC10C , a sleek, multitouch Windows 7 device with specs firmly entrenched in high-end netbook territory

Nexus One shipments headed to Verizon, Vodafone soon?

March 15, 2010

Not much here in the way of verifiable detail but we’re hearing that a CDMAified Nexus One is en route to Verizon (or Google’s warehouses , anyway) from HTC’s factories. The Economic Daily News ( EDN ) adds that Verizon will begin to “market” Google’s superphone this month or in April at the earliest which lends some credibility to that March 23rd date tossed about previously

Qi Hardware’s tiny, hackable Ben NanoNote now shipping

March 14, 2010

It’s been something of a long road to this point (beginning with the company being founded by some laid off OpenMoko employees), but Qi Hardware’s ultra-compact, open source Ben NanoNote (actually, NanoNote) is now shipping for just $99. That will get you a bare bones device that can simply be used as a Linux-based “handheld laptop” out of the box or, as the company hopes, be turned into anything from a PMP to an offline Wikipedia device. Something along those lines would seem to be the most practical, considering the device only has a 3-inch 320 x 240 display, along with some similarly basic specs including a 336 MHz XBurst Jz4720 CPU, 32MB of RAM, 2GB of flash storage, and a microSD card slot for expansion.

Keepin’ it real fake: iPhone hits discount retailers as an eyeshadow palette

March 14, 2010

Now, these may have been around for ages, we can’t really be sure because, truth be told, it’s pretty rare for us to troll the aisles of Kohl’s makeup section looking for KIRF s. Regardless, a helpful, hawk-eyed reader snapped this shot of an eyeshadow palette — called eyemobile — that’s got the distinct iPhone aura going on, though we’re 100 percent certain this is an unauthorized use case.

Plastic Logic QUE proReader pre-orders halted?

March 14, 2010

We’re not going to engage in too much wild speculation on this piece of information, but there are certainly a few raised eyebrows in Engadget-land right now. Apparently Plastic Logic is no longer offering pre-orders of its QUE proReader, as a tipster of ours discovered while trying to push through his order of the $799.99, 8GB / 3G version of the large-screen device.

Sony opens idyllic new retail store in Nagoya, Japan

March 14, 2010

We heard back in January that Sony was looking to reface itself somewhat by introducing a minty fresh retail look that takes a note or two from the Apple and Microsoft shops already in existence, and for those lucky enough to find themselves in Nagoya this weekend, you can check it out in person. March 13th marked the opening of the all new Sony Store Nagoya, and with an ample of amount of glass, white demo stands and black overhead signs, it’s certainly one of the more seductive retail shops that we’ve seen. We’d bother knocking Sony for following instead of leading, but considering just how far the brand has fallen over the past couple of years, we’re just stoked to see it putting forth an effort to turn things around
