Archive for the ‘Mobile Tech’ CategoryiRiver announces an e-dictionary with media player functionsSunday, March 7th, 2010
It’s called an e-dictionary. We don’t know why, but that’s how this thing is being marketed. While common thinking dictates that a portable media player can also feature a dictionary, it seems like iRiver wants to capitalize on the sudden rush of e-books with this e-dictionary. Apple iPad commercial goes live, will ship on April 3rdSunday, March 7th, 2010
In case you’re the type of guy who’s excited about the iPad, you might want to check out Apple’s iPad page, where the first iPad commercial is now playing. First played during the Oscars, the new commercial really didn’t show anything new, although the smooth interface is still pretty cool to watch. Or maybe we’re just hyped about the song. Or how it’s amazing that the screen doesn’t smudge with all the finger-flicking. Anyway, the video ends with a reminder that it’s due out on April 3rd, but if you’ve been following the iPad, we’re pretty sure you already knew that.

Bluetooth headset specialist Jabra has just unveiled a nice new Bluetooth kit at the Mobile World Congress called the Clipper. What makes it good? It’s a pair of good-quality in-ears with a Bluetooth connection at the end (at the “clip” part) that lets you listen to stereo-quality audio and talk hands-free on a phone without making you look like a workaholic if you wear it all day.

Microsoft’s Zune HD gets price cutsSunday, February 7th, 2010
While the world—the geek part of the world that paid attention to tech news anyway—is still trying to decide whether Apple’s iPad is worth the price or not, Microsoft made a pretty significant move themselves (but without the fanfare): they cut the price on their Zune HD touchscreen media players. The prices have dropped for both the 16GB and 32GB capacities, down to $190 for the 16GB model (from around $220) and $250 for the 32GB model (from around $290) on Amazon, making the portable multimedia players cheaper than the 32GB iPod touch that costs $299 on Apple’s store. It’s unknown if the price drop is a permanent price change or just part of a promo, but the move is seen as an attempt to boost sales.

Rusty, Green Day to come up with apparel with washable headphonesThursday, February 4th, 2010
Rusty North America is an apparel brand that caters to the surfing crowd. Green Day is a punk rock band. Rusty has just announced that they’ll be collaborating with Green Day on a new collection of hooded apparel with built-in machine-washable headphones—something that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with surfing, punk rock, or Green Day (unless you wear the hoodies after you surf and listen to Green Day), which pretty much leaves us with an intro that goes nowhere. | ||

Have you ever been in a situation where you and maybe four other guys need to go online, a Wi-fi hotspot isn’t available, and only one of you has a 3G modem? That might sound farfetched, but it could happen, right? Especially since everyone (or at least almost everyone) brings a laptop or Wi-fi mobile device, everyone needs to go online at some point in time for any reason, and not everyone signs up for a 3G USB modem.
