Audi's Cross Cabriolet Quattro concept touts internet radio, B&O system
Filed under: Portable Audio, Transportation
Granted, Audi's Cross Cabriolet Quattro is still a concept for now, but the proposed infotainment setup is quite swanky, indeed. Reportedly, the vehicle would include a Bang & Olufsen sound system that could stream internet radio thanks to its built-in internet link. Additionally, motorists could "judge" the tracks as they were played, enabling the system to "build up a picture of their preferences and offer individual play lists." The whip also boasts microphones within the headrests to presumably control certain aspects of the system via voice, and What

PC Mag: Dell XPS ONE true iMac rival
Dell's just-introduced XPS ONE all-in-one desktop is a genuine alternative to the iMac for some buyers, according to a new review by PC Mag. The publication notes that while the Windows-based system is more expensive than a comparably priced iMac or Gateway One and carries similar limitations such as a single hard drive bay, the system is one of t

Vonage loses appeal, now owes Verizon $117.5 million
Filed under: CellphonesA follow-up to our earlier story regarding Verizon's patent lawsuit against Vonage: the latter company has lost its appeal against the former, and is now looking at having to pay the full $175.5 million settlement, plus $2.5 million to charity. It's been a bad few days for Vonage indeed, with the company's shares dropping 87 percent since IPO, and a tenth of its workforce out of a job. When you've hit rock bottom, the only way is up, right?[Via Slashdot]

HP's iPAQ 100 series gets unboxed on video
Filed under: HandheldsYou've already tuned in to see Nokia's newfangled N82 get unboxed on video, so here's yet another one to feast your eyes on. HP's kinda-sorta delayed iPAQ 100 has finally made its way out (in a non-commercial box, though) to be pored over, and PocketPCThoughts took the time to carefully unbox the unit, spin it around a time or two and toss out a few first impressions for good measure. Granted, you're not likely to find any edge-of-your-seat suspense here, but those still on the fence about picking this thing up can hopefull

Dell XPS One reviewed
Filed under: Desktops
PC Mag has reviewed the Dell XPS One, the machine which we originally revealed on these here pages. The unit they got their hands on was the top-end $2,399 model -- what, you think Dell would risk lumping 'em with the budget range? -- and the overall impression was very good if you limit yourself to the praise of the PC's numerous features. A built-in HDTV tuner with remote, Blu-ray, and 802.11n round out the 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, and 500GB HDD. The reviewer also thought that the design was a strong aspect of the X

Glosse: Wann lizenziert Apple endlich Mac OS X für andere Rechner?
Im gestern veröffentlichten Jahresgeschäftsbericht für 2007 schreibt Apple über seinen Erfolg, dass dieser der einzigartigen Verbindung von Hard-, Software und Betriebssystem zu verdanken sei. Mac, iPod, iPhone und Co. helfen dem Unternehmen dabei, nicht wie Microsoft Lizenzen für Mac OS X vergeben zu müssen, um erfolgreich zu sein. Dabei wünschen sich einige Nutzer nichts sehnlicher als das. Beginnt jetzt auch beim Computerbetriebssystem das Katz- und Mausspiel, das beim iPhone schon beinahe Tradition hat?

Nanotube batteries could power printed electronics
Filed under: Misc. GadgetsWe've seen some interesting nanotech power concepts in the past, but researchers at UCLA have gone back to basics and developed a printable nanotech version of a traditional battery they say could power other printed, flexible nanotech devices. The batteries, which are less than a millimeter thin, feature the same zinc-carbon makeup as traditional rechargables, but are made by depositing thin layers of zinc and manganese

Submerged camera holds functional memory card two years after accident
Filed under: Digital Cameras
After capsizing in the partially frozen waters at Kejimkujik National Park, the Collins family was far too busy being alive to worry over a silly sunken camera. As fate would have it, the ole Canon Powershot that was lost eventually turned up, as a park maintenance worker managed to spot the device sitting aimlessly upon a rock. Granted, the body was in fairly deplorable shape after braving the elements for two solid years, but the memory card tucked within seemed to be relatively unharmed. Upon testing it out, the employee found some 300 pictures taken on the day in which Mr. & Mrs. Collins nearly perished, and every one of 'em was in good-as-new condition. Eventua

Over-priced Apple $999 SATA RAID Card is actually a reasonably priced SAS Card.
We were right. Sort of. We knew there had to be more to the $999 Apple RAID Card. Thanks to commenter Scotty, we now do. It turns out it is an SAS controller as well. Meaning you can plug those wicked fast 15,000 RPM SAS drives into your motherboard.
Perhaps Apple are saving this announcement for some new products?

Aketo.de: Jetzt, wie ihr Bock habt (plus Video)
So: Wir haben uns in der vergangenen Nacht noch mal über unseren Text-Editor gesetzt und Aketo.de überarbeitet. Aketo.de war ja schon ein paar mal in den News, aber hier noch mal zwei Sätze zum Sinn der iPhone/iPod touch-Startseite.
Auch wenn das iPhone in der Lage ist, das "richtige" Internet anzuzeigen, braucht man Unterwegs häufig nur die pure Information. Keine Werbung, keine Riesen-Seiten und keinen fancy Web 2.0 Schnulli. Davon ausgehend haben wir Aketo.de aufgezogen. Wir wollten einen schnellen Zugriff auf häufig besuchte Webseiten, Suchfelder für die Wiki, eine Deutsch-Englisch Übersetzung und Sportergebnisse. Bislang hat uns die statische Aketo.de-Seite dafür ausgereicht. Doch nun, wo immer Firmen ihr Online Angebot auch iPhone-optimiert zur Verfügung stellen ist Aketo.de ein wenig ins Hintertreffen geraten.

FIFA to trial chipped soccer ball in Japan
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
The referees at the upcoming Club World Cup in Japan will likely be taking a little less flack from the fans if a ball manages to come dangerously close to slipping into the net, as FIFA is deploying a type of "goal-line" technology that more precisely indicates whether debatable shots really crossed the line. At the heart of the system are four sensors that are placed around the goal and a single microchip within the so-called smart-ball; if the ball does indeed cross over the goal line, an encrypted message is instantly beamed out to a referee's watch, leaving no doubt as to whether or not a point should be awarded. Apparently, the system will be widely used at the 2010 World Cup

This aptly categorized high performance computer (HPC) sucks down less than 200-watts of power, sports a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports and has room for six internal hard drives.

T-Mobile suspends Sidekick Slide sales
