We've been sort of wondering when we'd see a solar e-ink display, and here we are -- Neoluxiim is demoing this panel for use in point-of-sale advertising. What's interesting here is that the background appears to be in color while the text is black, but we're assuming that's just a fixed image behind the e-ink layer. Everyone ready for impulse purchasing to go high-tech? Video after the break.Continue reading Neoluxiim demos solar-powered e ink displayFiled under: DisplaysNeoluxiim demos solar-powered e ink display originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 12 Jul 2009...Read More »

We're pretty much assuming this video of a purportedly "stolen" PS3 slim at a street market in the Philippines is fake, but given the mounting pile of evidence and Sony's other recent leaks, we feel compelled to share it with you. Nothing particularly amazing here -- it's a blurry video of a black plastic box with that new rounded-off logo style from the PSPgo on it -- but if it's real it's certainly interesting. So, what say you -- KIRF, or the real deal?[Thanks, Khattab]Continue reading Probably-fake video of...Read More »

If you've had you eye on the Tour, we bet you didn't forget they were going on sale today -- but just in case you had, consider this your official reminder. Both carriers are now offering RIM's latest and greatest CDMA BlackBerry for $199.99 on contract, so you're probably not going to see a lot of defections between carriers this time around. Pardon us if we don't shed a tear for the lack of exclusivity on this one.Read - SprintRead - VerizonFiled under: Cellphones, HandheldsBlackBerry Tours, come...Read More »

You haven't forgotten about that BlackBerry Storm 2, have you? The Boy Genius Report is claiming it's gotten device specs for RIM's touchscreen-centric maven, also reportedly called the 9550, and while not surprising (and not confirmed), according to his source the CDMA device will be sporting 802.11b/g (which we already sort of knew), a 3.2 megapixel camera, 360 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, and BlackBerry OS 5.0. If that's not enough, the site's also saying a GSM version of the original, with 3G in tow, does exist as the 9520 and is possibly on track...Read More »

Nintendo has vowed that it must continue to offer Wii gamers a more immersive experience or risk being left behind by Xbox 360's Project Natal controller-free technology.   Natal was revealed to great acclaim at the E3 gaming expo in June, while Sony also upped the stakes on Nintendo by announcing a Wiimote like Motion Controller and PlayStation Eye camera in Los Angeles.   - T3's first play with Project Natal - 20 Games that changed it all - T3 Top 10 video games   President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Amie says that the company will "have to move on" to...Read More »

Orange may have got the jump on its rivals when it became the exclusive launch partner for the Toshiba TG01 smartphone, but other networks won't have to wait long to get their mitts on the WinMo handset.   - Video and gallery: Hands-on with the TG01 - Group test: Tosh's smartphone rivals rated - See where the TG01 finished in T3's Hot 100   The TG01, hailed as the world's fastest smartphone, is available to buy now with Orange, but the network will only have dibs for the next three months.

Turns out by the time Sony went official with its inaugural Vaio W netbook, it was already old news to the Chinese KIRF market. The "Vaio" pictured above apparently came out some time in mid-June and does a laudable job of honoring the actual one's chassis, although the keyboard is more traditional than Sony's isolated / chiclet stylings. Throw in a 10.2-inch LED display, 1.6GHz Atom processor, integrated graphics, a 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM, and decently convincing packaging and you'd be liable to think you went through a time warp spotting this in Shenzhen. It's got...Read More »

T3 has been hot on the trail of the HTC Hero's release date since we had our first hands-on experience last month. Not just because of our commitment to bring you the hottest news, but because we all want one for ourselves.   HTC and exclusive networks Orange and T-Mobile are remaining tight lipped, but the first chink of light has emerged from the retailer Cleverkit, which claims it will have the phone in stock by Tuesday 21st July. SIM-free and unlocked for £439.   - Video: Extensive hands-on with the HTC Hero - Gallery: Get a closer look at the best...Read More »

MacBook Pro hard disk storage really seem to be down on its luck this generation. First was the 3Gbps SATA transfers (now fixed), which honestly didn't affected but a marginal percentage of users upgrading to SSD themselves. Now comes word from a number of irate users on the Apple support forums that claim their HDDs, specifically those spec'd at 7200RPM, are suffering from performance issues and some audible clicking / beeping sounds. The folks at Other World Computing chimed in to say that it might have something to do with the Seagate Momentus 7200.4 G-Force...Read More »

Remember that first-ever portable HD Radio prototype we peeked back in May? Turns out Best Buy just let loose the real-deal, today announcing immediate availability of the Insignia NS-HD01. Needless to say, the big box retailer and supporters of HD Radio alike are hoping that this subscription-free player will finally put some much-needed wind behind the sails of the format, and while it's pretty simple in nature, the sub-$50 price tag could place it squarely in the "impulse buy" category. The relatively brief specs list includes a color LCD, rechargeable Li-ion battery, a 3.5 millimeter headphone...Read More »
