I was 31 floors up in Centre Point on Tuesday to witness Sharp’s new line of televisions which, for the first time in tele history, is rocking a fourth, yellow, sub pixel joining its red, green, and blue buddies. Sharp is waiting before joining the possible ‘fad’ of 3D and is instead looking to make large screen TV’s more economical (40% less power used compared with other LCD’s), brighter, ’sharp’er and with a larger pallet. “The revolutionary new four colour technology enables billions of colours to be displayed, providing brighter video gaming, clearer sports viewing and sharper action enjoyment”, says the company. Sharp actually played around with introducing white and cyan pixels but the yellow pixels had the best...

Dell’s Mini 5 tablet, or rather the Dell Streak, seems to be squaring up to join Microsoft’s Courier and Apple’s iPad in the ring. With it’s regular tablety form I reckon Apple should be the more concerned. The Dell Mini 5 leak reveals the ‘Streak’ moniker and as it seems to have been used since October chances are that it’s more than a codename. So, the Android loving Streak features a 5″ WVGA (800 x 480) touchscreen, capacitive buttons on the front as well as a front-facing VGA camera for video chat with a 5MP camera with autofocus on flash round back. The leaked presentation also reveals that the device will come in an array of colours and offer the opportunity for custom skins through Dell Design Studio. Now, Apple should...

You’ve probably seen Toy Story right? Even if you’ve somehow managed to avoid the computer generated animated flick you may have played with those cheap green plastic soldiers – if you happen to be a certain cousin of mine you probably also set fire to them at some point too! Well, the genii at LEGO have only gone and released mini-fig versions of the little green GI’s! They even come complete with removable stands. There’s even a 3″ long Jeep and a stretcher. The £9.99 pack contains: 4 Army Men minifigures, jeep and stretcher Soldiers’ jeep equipped with spare tyre Go here and buy at least one pack now! That’s an order soldier!! Or is that a soldier order?……….. Related posts:New Xbox 360 Controller...

I’m a fan of gadgety convergence – especially when it makes sense. Just look at the Tefal Toast n Egg So when I was told that I could have a test run of a clock radio I was a bit like ‘wow – that’s never been done before! I bet it doesn’t even make me a coffee.’ But then they said that not only was it a clock radio, it was a digital photo frame and an iPhone dock and charger. It sounds like an ideal bedroom buddy. ‘Bring it’ on said I! Looking at the Sony ICF-CL75iP I could tell that it wasn’t cheap tat and it seems well designed with a hide-away dock and a good sized, clear WVGA display. The snooze button is exactly where it should be and is large enough for that half-hearted, half-aimed slap that befalls...

We’re all starting to realise that Hybrid doesn’t always have to mean boring. But Crave have brought to my knowledge a truly droolworthy hybrid motor. They’re at the Geneva Motor Show and got up close and personal with the gorgeous 918 Spyder. Instead of getting some hippies to chill out around the Stuttgart factory chatting about mother earth and eating lentils apparently Porsche’s team designed the 918 Spyder as a hybrid because adding some electric motors should give the car more kick. The 918 Spyder has a couple of electric motors powering the front wheels with a third, mounted near the gearbox in the middle driving the rear. You have the option to add the lovely assistance of the Spyder’s 500bhp, 3.8-litre V8 petrol engine should you...

If you want to make a big exit then a top, no holds-barred funeral would not be complete without a totally bling coffin. Gold, of course, can be the only way forward but then what else? Well, just in case you need to place some pizza orders in the after life, this crass casket comes compete with a mobile phone and GPS just in case someone wants to melt your resting place down. I was going to comment on how good phone reception’s going to be 6-10 feet below the topsoil and encased in gold – but I’m thinking that there’s not going to be many complaints being texted into the funeral directors. The price? 280,000 euros. Related posts:LG IQ Phone Complete with Projector – Monaco Released LG VX9600 Modular Mobile Phone Spotted Lego Click With...

I feel that I should be fair and state at the start of this review that I’m a headphones not an earphones man. So, when I received a package containing Sony’s catchily named MDR-NC300D noise cancelling earphones I couldn’t help but pity the little mite. I’ve never bothered with noise cancelling cans as I generally go for the enclosed style which blocks most ambient distractions and with music playing is usually enough to segregate me from the real world. My other grumble with earphones (apart from me not being overly convinced that we should have a sound source actually in the ear) is that most earphones fall out – and keep falling out. Now that I’ve got all that off my chest let’s have a goosey at these MDR-NC300D’s shall...

Yup – I’m downloading as I type. Ubisoft has released the multiplayer edition of Assassin’s Creed II for iPhone, and it’s completely free to download for the first two days! Beautiful! Don’t be expecting a friend frenzy version of the original Assassin’s Creed II iPhone game though. This is a birds-eye view sneak fest and not the glossy 3D full console game featuring voice actors and all that. You still have to rely on stealth and go around assassinating folk; but the great thing is that you’ll be playing against real-life opponents. You can play against up to three other players over Wi-Fi. Nice Ignoring the graphics and the change of view the gameplay is pretty much the same as you’ve come to know and love. You can sneak around in...

It’s happened! 10,000,000,000 songs have been sold through iTunes. So, who’s top of the iPops then? Guitarists, look away now as there’s not much evidence of axe-weilding amongst the 20 most-downloaded iTunes songs of all time. The only ‘real’ bands spotted in the charts are Coldplay (in at 5 with Vida la Vida) and Plain White Ts (in at 18 with Hey There Delilah). No, Subset aren’t there quite yet The Black Eyed Peas top the iTunes most downloaded song chart with ‘I Gotta Feeling’ – quite remarkable for a track that only hit iTunes on March 30 2009. The quartet also Boom Boom Powed to the number 3 spot. Unsurprisingly, if you keep an eye on the charts, Lady Gaga also grabbed a pair of spots with ‘Poker...

Love it or question its point – you can’t ignore the Apple iPad. No matter which side of the fence you stand you can’t argue the fact that it will sell millions. If you are jonesing for some fruity tablet time the joyous day may almost be at hand! Rumours have surfaced that the Apple iPad pre-orders will begin this Thursday – 2 DAYS AWAY! Steve Jobs said at launch that the Wi-Fi-enabled iPad would hit the streets 60 days after the announcement but Appadvice reckons that pre-orders are just round the corner. Pre-orders will be for the Wifi version initially, with the 3G-enabled tablet following later. Initial orders are also likely to be US-only. Are you going to be adding your name? Are you laughing at the lack of Flash and hoping that HTML5 will...

When Dell grabbed Alienware for itself four years ago three key execs decided to say thanks, but no thanks. Instead they formed ‘Origin‘ and went about building things the way Alienware originally did and created the Eon18 laptop. The Eon18 has a distinct Alienwareness about it and, as you’d expect, this lappy is quite the customisable puter. It comes with an 18.4″ full HD widescreen, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M GPUs, 7.1 high-def audio, and up to three 250GB SSDs. It bounces with a Core 2 Extreme Quad QX9300 at the mo but on the otherside of this weekend it’ll be rocking a Core i7. Ok, so there’s bigger, more hardcore portable gamers out there but the fact that customisation includes whatever colour and design you want for the lid as well as being...

Everybody’s favourite go-anywhere tripod, the GorillaPod, has just gotten even more versatile! The bendy tripod has now got magnetic feet meaning that no metallic surface is safe from being mounted by a camera – so to speak. GorillaPod Magnetic is still the same posable marvel that we all know and love from the ankles up; but should you require a shot taken from the fridge door, from the roof of your car or in a pole-dancing club like the one in the pic seems to be – GorillaPod Magnetic is the one to get. Although it’s still not as cute as DigiDude. Expect it out around April Related posts:DigiDude by Quirky – The Cutest Pocket Tripod Ever!

Here’s a Tamagotchi for the iPhone generation. The oddly cute Xachi pets are controllable from your iPhone/iPod Touch. They have animated eyes, squeakers, accelerometers for games, touch sensitivity and even robotic legs so that they can dance for you. Apparently they get a bit gnarley if you turn them upside down – but don’t we all? The iPhone app shows your Xachi’s Thirst, Health, and Happiness so you can keep it happy where-ever you are. You gain Xachi food by playing games.

Blippy basically gives your credit card its own Facebook and Twitter account and each time the plastic gets spanked Blippy gets to know and then, so will everyone else – so, careful when shopping at more adult-centric stores You can log into Blippy via your Twitter or Facebook accounts and then you can select which stores (iTunes, Amazon, Threadless, etc) you want your transactions blipped about – so, if you have some shady purchases or buying gifts at least you have the choice whether or not this info is transmitted.

HTC have been busy and have unveiled a number of new mobiles at the MWC. Thing is that, in my opinion, none of them look as lovely as the HTC Legend. The body is carved from a single piece of aluminum – Mmmmm….. unibody….. I hope Apple are watching! Under that gorgeous hood purrs Android 2.1 wrapped up in HTC Sense. It’s fitted with a 3.2 inch capacitive AMOLED screen with a res of 320 x 480 pixels. The Legend sports a 5.0 megapixel snapper that’s paired up with autofocus and flash. This is all pushed along by a 600 MHz processor and 512MB ROM and 384MB of RAM. There’s a microSD slot to increase it’s capacity as well as the now expected Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. I’m particularly digging this “helicopter view”. Perhaps...

If, like me, you never had an AT-AT of your own. Well, now’s your chance – and this one is sooooooo much better! To help mark the glorious 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Hasbro have reissued the saga’s most awesome vehicles. Costing $100 this AT-AT measures over 2 foot tall and is almost 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide. The new AT-AT can actually hold up to 20 Star Wars figures – half-a-dozen of those in the head alone! It also comes with the zip-line in its body as well as LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases. Just to clinch that deal it includes a 3 ¾ inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike. Now, where’s my Snow Speeder and credit card!!???!! Find yours then head here.

If the only thing holding you back from owning Sony Ericsson’s HD recording Vivaz is your fear of virtual keyboards – have a look-see at the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro! The QWERTY board adds a tiny 2.5mm to the Vivaz’s slimline ‘human curvature’ contours, but you do seem to lose some features. Instead of an 8.1 MP snapper of the Vivaz, the Vivaz Pro gets a shaved down 5.1 number. You still, however keep the lovely 720p HD video recording and a 3.2-inch screen which is a relief! Wi-Fi, GPS and the 3.5mm headphone jack are as should be as is the microSD card slot. “Having announced Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ in January we are now adding a sister phone that includes a QWERTY keyboard along with the touch screen for a superior messaging and entertainment experience,”...

The MWC is a matter of hours away and most eyes will be on what Microsoft will be bring to parade on centre-stage. Windows Phone 7 is almost a given but it seems that the Project Pink phone, Sharp’s ‘Turtle’, as been FCC’d (Federal Communications Commission). The diagram on the right for model PB10ZU shows more than a passing resemblance to the Turtle pic I posted about in September. According to the paperwork the PB10ZU will be loaded with dual-band CDMA, EVDO, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity. Engadget spotted that the FCC filing’s details are being withheld until March 29. That’s just after the potential Zune Phone unveiling that is rumoured to take place at the CTIA conference in Vegas. Expect more about lots of other new phones over the coming...

You can’t have winter sports without the backing track of cowbells being whacked as a skier goes flying past. You try getting a cowbell on a plane in the current security climate and you’re not only going to be looking at getting nudie-scanned but probably getting unpleasantly probed. Fear not as this inexpensive iPhone app is here to fill that void. Pick your nation’s flag and shake your iPhone frantically as you no doubt watch Team GB lagging behind in some event-or-other (I’m hoping for a Canadian gold in the Hockey at least). As well as the cowbell (as if you need anything else), you get a full schedule of Winter Olympic events, a handy Twitter feed of dozens of Olympic athletes, media outlets and bloggers, and a live medal table (you might notice that...

If you’re looking to spend a wad of cash on a fancy telly then, chances are, you’re the type of person that hates to miss their favourite programmes. Toshiba hears you and has finally bounced out their very clever, next-generation Cell TV in Japan. The reasons to be excited about this great goggle-box are many. First of all there’s all that recording space: 3TB of it coupled with not one, not four but eight HD tuners! That’s because the Cell TV has been designed to record every one of Japan’s eight free HD channels, day and night, for a whole week. Oh my! Basically you’d have to find eight weeks to watch everything you recorded one week which kinda means you’d have more catching up-to-do. But the ability is impressive all the same As you may...

I can imagine plenty of kids rubbing their hands with glee and the thought of getting one of these – as well as some older kids as well. Yes: I’m looking at you! The Wild Planet Spy Video TRAKR can be remotely controlled and be used to sneak into rooms, underneath changing room doors, into locker-rooms, errrrrrrrrm….. Anyhow; the TRAKR is equipped with a video camera so that the user can capture covert moving pictures as well as being to eaves-drop on conversations thanks to the inbuilt mic. Should the controller wish to announce their presence there’s even a built-in speaker on the car and a microphone on the remote control. The spy-bot can also be tweaked thanks to its own app site. “With the Spy Video TRAKR, we’re teaching kids how to write their own...

Google looks like it’s fancying some of the social network pie with Buzz. Google Buzz is based around Gmail and, like other places, lets you share information, photos videos and status updates. It also connects with Flickr and Twitter so you can spread your endless, pointless news with everyone you know and others that you’ve managed to collect. The Google Buzz mobile service geotags your updates so folk know where you were when you saw that cute cat or police car getting clamped. If you’ve got a Gmail account it should be coming over to you in the next few days. Bradley Horowitz, Google’s vice-president of product marketing, says: “There’s so much opportunity, we can wire this up in so many ways with other parts of Google, other parts of the internet.” Google...

More phone news – well, the Mobile Word Congress aint far off is it? It appears that Sony Ericsson’s latest lovely, the Vivaz, has cropped up on Vodafone’s website with a UK launch date. The new 8.1MP camera phone will be available on Vodafone from March with prices still under wraps but you can register for updates if you’re keen to get it on with the shiny Symbian touchscreen blower. So what do you get other than the scaled down (well, compared to the Satio) 8.1 megapixel autofocus snapper? How’s about HSDPA and Wi-Fi for fast surfing, and GPS as well as HD video recording? Other appealing goodies include FM radio, TV-out at VGA resolution. The Vivaz will also be sold in four colour pallets astronomically named: Moon Silver, Cosmic Black, Galaxy Blur and Venus...

Now, you may have figured out that I like a decent rumour served with a hefty slice of gossip. According to iPhone repair site, iResQ, the next generation of iPhone is going to be super-sized and not Nanoed. iResQ has posted photos of what it says is the case for the iPhone 4G and, as you can see, it’s a quarter inch taller than the current 3GS. If the pictures prove genuine this would mean that the hardware may well be different in other ways; that’s as well as it being the first time that Apple has moved from the standard iPhone template since we first gawped at the original in 2007. Obviously it’ll have a larger screen so maybe iBooks could come across to the iPhone – but could this make the iPad even more pointless? The curiosity of the new front panel has...

Mobile-Review seems to have a bit of a scoop – this, they say, is the new Vodafone 360 phone. Dubbed the Vodafone Compass (which may confuse people as Vodafone Compass is also the name of a GPS app), it could well be the third Vodafone 360 social networking phone. What makes this interesting, apart from the shape, is that the previous phones have been Samsung touchscreen numbers but here we have a square thing rocking a QWERTY board a-la Nokia 7705 Twist. Vodafone 360 gives you a bunch of social networking niceness such as the geographic coordinates of friends, the address book yanks in Facebook updates and all sorts of contact options like IM and email. Apparently some of the functions on the Compass 2010 will be gesture controlled using that centralised button on the back. It...

I tend to get quite blasé these days when I read about another new Japanese mobile phone. Well, I expect large OLED screens, 12MP cameras minimum, Blu-ray recorder connectivity, double digital TV tuners, 3D holographic displays – you know, the usual Let’s face it though – until you read the spec-sheet they all look the same – generally clamshell phones. This is why the Fujitsu’s F-04B is noteworthy. It’s the first to feature a two-module body. That’s right my gadgety friends. The ‘Separate Keitai’ (Keitai means handset in Japanese) has the ability to split into 2 parts which can be used independently (a keyboard section and a display slate). One part features a 3.4 inch touchscreen with a 12.2MP camera (there’s also an inner...

Do you need more than Mafia, Vampire and Farming games? If you have a Facebook account you may have noticed that these ‘casual games’ are becoming increasingly (annoyingly) popular. Personally I welcome ‘Brave Arms’ with open….err… arms as it becomes Facebook’s first ever 3D first person shooter. Some may stand-up and say that FPS games cannot be for the mass-market but 3G Studios’ Brave Arms certainly includes plenty of nods to the casual audience. The makers call this a “social shooter” and the game will allow users to heavily customise their avatars and compete with others on their Facebook friends list. Credits can be earned in-game and then spent in the game’s digital store. “Our new title, Brave Arms, will bring First-Person...

Whether you’re wowed by the iPad or not you can’t deny that it will sell – loads. UK company, X2, can obviously see the potential as well as hearing what a lot of comments have cited as the iPad’s short-comings. They’ve even named it the iTablet! In its own words “hot on the heels of Apple’s latest product launch“,X2 have launched the “iTablet” range of Windows and Linux-based tablet PCs. X2 says “the iTablet will revolutionise the way that Windows users can access and use data on the move”. You get the option of a 10.2 inch widescreen TFT or 12.1 inch widescreen XGA, 1024 x 768 resolution touchscreens (multi-touch is listed as “optional”). Specs include 1.6GHz Intel processors, up to 250GB hard drives,...

Whilst the UK and other countries are trying to kill off smokers via hypothermia or poverty it takes a place like China to even the score. Yes, the boldly named “The Machismo!” is billed as being “the world’s hottest cigarette lighter mobile phone.” Personally I can’t argue the latter statement as I am complete unaware of the lesser mobile phone(s) that feature a built-in cigarette lighters. Chinavasion.com explains: “The problem with modern life is you have to carry around too many things in your pockets. Wallet, keys, iPod, cellphone, and if you’re a smoker – a cigarette lighter too. Well here’s the perfect solution – The Machismo. Instead of carrying a phone AND a lighter, just turn this amazing phone around, slide open the safety latch, and the underlying...

If you want to get onto the 3D film bandwagon but would rather be behind the camera than stuck in a pub watching footie then check this out. Ikonshop have developed a new camera that is is capable of shooting 3D video in Full HD at 1080p. The Ikonshop A-Cam3D captures two separate video streams at once, in a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels in RAW files. Colour depth is set at 12 bits at frame rates of between 25fps and 30fps. The Ikonshop A-Cam3D weighs in at 2.8KG, this include the battery and the memory card for recording the videos. Unfortunately there are no details on pricing but these are built to order – I’m guessing that means it’s painfully expensive Related posts:The Samsung SCH-W880 Phone Camera – The 12mp Compact Camera Takes HD Vids and Calls...

Remember that see-through lap top that was spotted at CES at the start of this year? Well, it seems that those hi-tech sci-fi films and scenes in the likes of CSI, could well be coming to a laptop near you! Of course, the Samsung transparent screen concept is incredibly cool but honestly; when tapping away at your puter do you ever long to stare at the wall or at the cat that’s sleeping behind your screen? The concept would be great for head-up displays (HUD’s) in cars or motorcycle helmet visors but on a regular puter? I guess if they can make huuuuuuuuuge screens that can form a part of meeting rooms, etc then that would also be very cool! Still, saying that, I hope Sammy goes ahead with building some and lets me have a go and perhaps try and convince me of the merits...

Do you have a lot of beautiful friends? Do you love the Cover Flow interface that you get with iTunes? Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of merging Cover Flow with your contact list so that you can just flick through to the beautiful visage that you want to connect with. Fafoulon has created an iPhone application that will do just that and as called it ContactFlow. Once you launch the application, you’ll see the profile images of your contacts. By flicking your finger, you can navigate through all of them. When you find the person you want to call just tap them in the face and ContactFlow will flip the picture and show you the phone numbers of that person. You can then tap on the number to make a call or click the SMS icon to send a text message. If you’d like to write an email,...

If you’ve been brought up with playing Rock Band and Guitar Hero then you may be surprised to discover most guitars have strings. Most……? Well this bad boy uses a large touchscreen to get you shredding. The Misa Digital Guitar is the work of Sydney-based designer Michael. It has 24 frets and a large multifunctional touchscreen which hooks-up to the appropriate software on your pc. It is an advanced type of MIDI controller that is powered by a 500MHz AMD Geode CPU and runs Linux under the hood – you don’t need Linux to use the guitar though. The Linux firmware code is open source, which allows programmers to modify it to their liking. While MIDI controllers and guitar-emulating synthesizers are nothing new to the music world you have to admit that the Misa does...

It seems that the chances of getting a Zune Phone are getting more likely. Spanish tech blog, MuyComputer reports that NVIDIA has confirmed it will be joining Microsoft to announce the Zune Phone at the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona. This makes plenty much sense as the Tegra chip is already used in the very capable Zune HD. As well as being a potent performer it’s also kind to the battery. So – should Jobs & Co be watching carefully? Well, if all the rumours about the Zune Phone are true – quite possibly. This is a new phone so an ideal chance to slip out the new Windows Mobile 7. This already has multitouch so there’s one huge hint right there methinks Also with WinMo7 – word is that the big M will only allow their precious on OLED...

My Geekahol partner and brother, Chris, and me had a bit of a tablet-based debate this morning via email and this fella cropped up into the conversation. First spotted was pics showing the Chrome OS that have been posted on the official Chromium site (Chromium is the open source project behind Chrome and ChromeOS). I think it’s pretty much a given that there’ll be more than one version of the Google tablet (gAblet?) as I can’t see all this work going into the Chrome OS only to be tied to a single device. Think Nexus One and the Google Phones – this may be the path paved for any Google Tablet. Rumour is that Google is in talks with HTC about making a touchscreen tablet device already. Now there’s a video of the gAblet taking care of multitasking on a single...

Today sees the announcement of the new Sony Ericsson Aspen. SE’s latest business blower joins the rest of its eco-friends in the GreenHeart range. Being aimed at the busy business-person you get a QWERTY-board for firing off emails and a touchscreen to ease the multi-tasking. You’re able to organise and adapt panels to change during the day and use Slide View for quick access to common features. The user will also be able to view and edit office files easily with one touch operation and jump onto the web in one click. Your company will rest a little easier after those ‘business lunches’ as, should the handest be left in the back of a cab after that liquid lunch, Microsoft’s MyPhone service will be able to remotely erase phone data. “Sony Ericsson Aspen™...

I’ve been looking around for a decent set of Bluetooth headphones to hook-up to my iPhone. I like the look of the Jaybird Sportband but haven’t found anywhere that would let me try before I buy. Let’s face it – finding a cracking pair of Bluecans aint easy. TDK blows raspberries at stereo Bluethooth transmission and tells us to shove a dongle in our 3.5mm hole! Yup, the new TDK TH-WR700 headphones comes with a dongle that slips into any 3.5mm headphone port to transmit music up to 10 meters away. Add that with the clever Kleer wireless tech instead of Bluetooth, TDK claims a much higher fidelity—up to 40db less noise in the signal, which would be more than noticeable. The sonic details are that the phones have a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, and 108 dB/mW...

Remember the Nokia N-Gage? Cool idea but I found the large, bulky handset based on Nokia’s Series 60 platform less than enticing. Well those phone futurists over at Recombu have decided that there’s a significant gap in the market for a gaming phone – hush all those that are screaming “what about the iPhone!?!”. This slim ‘n’ sexy number is dubbed the Nokia Orion. This concept is aimed at portable gamers that also want their handset to also be a mobile communications device without the clunky embarrassment. There’s cool looking gaming controllers on the front teaming up with the almost expected touchscreen. Round the rear you get a letterbox screen and full QWERTY pad. If it has decent graphics and a snappy processor (and was real) I would...

If, like me, you take a lot of convincing (and bourbon) to get on the latest breed of big-dippers then this could be your gadgety answer. K’Nex will be launching a roller coaster set later this year and it will include a webcam so you can watch the ride from the comfort of your chair whilst eating chips and drinking cola without the danger of covering yourself and everyone else in food. The extremely cool looking set will apparently take you “a number of hours to build” even has a motor driven pulley system that drags your car up to the top of the peak before releasing it to plummet through a number of banks, turns and, of course, a loop the loop! Once it has finished its course you can either set it off again or shove the car into your puter via a USB cable and...
