The Gadgets

Digitimes reports that the laptops we had been seeing in the sci-fi movies might come to reality through Acer. Consider a full-glass body, in fact an all-glass body, there’s not going to be anything else there. Keyboard will be a touch senstive glass and the display is also a piece of glass polished/ covered from the back. Seriously, an ultra thin super cool laptop? Yes please!

Since Eric’s resign from Google’s board of directors, the relations of Apple and Google are getting worse. Apple has sued HTC over 20 iPhone patents and Google has decided to back to HTC. In an official statement Google shouts loud to warn Apple: “We are not a party to this lawsuit. However, we stand behind our Android operating system and the partners who have helped us to develop it.” Google never said it officially but we know that Apple’s patents had been a hurdle... Read→

Motorola had announced Motorola Devour, an Android 1.6 smartphone a couple of days ago. It runs on 600 MHz Qualcomm CPU, has a slider QWERTY and resembles Droid a lot. Except it is of silver color which reminds me of old sci-fi movie gadgets. Obviously kids and ladies might like its color. Android 1.6 disappoints me a little. Also there’s no explicit mention of the multitouch. Devour is coming to Verizon this quarter. [via Engadget]  Read More →

There are a lot of fake Chinese iPhones available in the market. Some are slightly taller or smaller than the original one, others have a greater difference in size. Would you believe the following front cover is of iPhone 4G? Would you believe iPhone 4G will be 0.25 inches taller as depicted by this snap? Would you believe there’d be a dumb odd white reflective spot just above the ear piece? Hard for me! [iResQ]  Read More →

CrunchPad was the first ever tablet we got excited about. It was a dream touchscreen slate. May be Indians were not happy with a peaceful success of the device so they shot a whole round of revolver in CrunchPad’s head and buried its body. Not really, in fact they kidnapped it and are now selling it with the name of “Joojoo”. It seems that the iPad borrowed a lot from CrunchPad, like the name “iPad” rivaling the name “CrunchPad” and $499 price. We didn’t... Read→

Big news? Nokia made the Ovi Maps and navigation free for all a week ago and now it has passed one million downloads. Interestingly, China is on the top of the list with about 20% downloads, Italy is the second one and and UK the third. We don’t find USA in top three, not even in top five. Why? Not because they don’t use location aware services but they’ve got the iPhone ( and Android as well). Nokia has also announced that the Ovi Maps will come pre-installed on all GPS enabled... Read→

I don’t know when did it get published on the official Chrome OS website but this concept is right there. Not bad? #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } [via Neowin]  Read More →

Android is doing wonders. Just a while ago, we saw it dual booted with Maemo 5 OS on Nokia N900 and now we have another great news. Dudes over at the XDA forums have successfully managed to make Windows Mobile phones (HTC Touch Pro 2 & HTC Tilt 2) run Android dual booted with Windows Mobile 6.5. If you are an Android fan but stuck on Windows Mobile, then its a great gift for you. Jump over to XDA thread and follow the instructions. [XDA]  Read More →

Remember what Steve Jobs had said about Kindle? In an interview soon after Kindle’s launch, Steve Jobs told NYT that Kindle would be a great failure: “It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.” Well done Steve! You are good at laughing others but I didn’t expect... Read→
