BlackBerry Curve 8520 "Gemini" image surfaces
Well, what do we have here? The folks at Crackberry seem to have gotten their hands on a pic of the BlackBerry Curve 8520, a.k.a. "Gemini." From what we can see and from what they tell us, there's an optical trackball, dedicated media player buttons, and and a "rubberized" body. Lack of 3G is a big bummer, but the hardware's enticing enough for us to give it a look over. Intrigued?Filed under: CellphonesBlackBerry Curve 8520 "Gemini" image surfa

Next PSP to rely on Memory Stick HG-Micro for storage?
You can be sure this won't be the last PSP rumor to surface before E3, but the word going around now is that the so-called PSP Go! (or PSP2, or PSP Slide) won't rely primarily on some internal memory for storage as previously speculated, but on something like Sony's new Memory Stick HG-Micro format, which is about 40MB/s faster than a standard Memory Stick Duo card. That word apparently comes from some "sources close to PSP development" that have spoken to PC World's Game On blog, who seem to also be suggesting tha

T-Mobile UK apparently being pressured to merge or bust
There's not exactly a ton of details on this one, but it looks like Deutsche Telekom CFO Timotheus Hoettges caused a bit of a stir at the company's recently shareholder meeting, where he reportedly suggested that T-Mobile UK would likely have to merge with another carrier or face the possibility of going bust. Specifically, Hoettges said that "in our view consolidation is a means to take excess capabilities out of the market," adding somewhat ominously that "nothing is unthinkable on our side." Of course, that immediately brings up the question of which carrier T-Mobile might merge with, and MarketingWeek suggests that one of the most likely suitors would be 3, which it currently ranked fifth in the UK market right behind T-Mobile,

Mute Mic is the perfect addition to your next antisocial karaoke event
You know how your voice always sounds better in your own head than it does on tape? Apparently, someone in Japan agrees with you. To that end, they've put together a little microphone with a silencer -- so the next time you come home at 3 am, all hopped up on Saki and intent on generating a sorrowful wail alongside the backing track of what was once a hit for the Carpenters, make sure you're packing the Mute Mic. This bad boy is designed to muzzle your song-hole, ensuring that whatever sound you do generate remains restricted to you and your Wii.

Interest in netbooks seen trailing off in 2010
Despite currently strong interest, the netbook industry is likely to cool off sharply in as little as a year, an iSuppli estimate said today. The research predicts that netbook shipments are likely to surge 68.5 percent in 2009 versus the year earlier but that this growth rate will be cut almost in half to 39.6 percent in 2010 and by two thirds to 13.1 percent in 2013.

Samsung Alias 2 launching on May 11, E Ink confirmed?
We're hearing that the Alias 2 is on track for a release in less than two weeks from now -- May 11, to be exact -- which would mean that we're just a few short days away from seeing the very first E Ink handset launch in the States. Yes, that's right, we said it -- after all the heated debate over the technology powering the Alias 2's configurable keypad, our tipster tells us that new information floating down from corporate confirms that the device is using E Ink, which would explain why it's able to maintain state even with the power off.

Xbox 360 to get motion-sensing add-on with full body game control?
Here's a wild one. We just got a tip from someone who purports to be in the know on Microsoft's efforts to beat the Wii at its own motion-sensing game, with some of the details lining up with what we were hearing last year along these lines. The word is that Microsoft is building a "sensor bar" of sorts, but instead of detecting the waggles of Wiimote-like controllers, it detects full body movement and sound, sans controllers. There are two sensors on the bar, along with a mic and a camera, and while our tipster has "no idea" how it actually works, it sounds pretty impressive.

How-to: set up dual-band WiFi (and juice your downloads)
Yeah, we think you should make the switch.
Let's come right out with it -- you should be running a dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi network. Why? Because the 2.4GHz spectrum is cluttered with everything from other networks to Bluetooth to cordless phones and microwaves, and all that RF interference slows everything down, making file transfers interminable and HD streaming nearly impossible. On the other hand, 5GHz 802.11n is clean and incredibly fast -- we're talking almost hardwire fast. But you can't just move up to 5GHz without leaving your phones and other legacy devices behind, so you've got to keep 2.4 around as well -- which is really easy if you've got a simultaneous dual-band router like

The site claims that "sources within Sprint" have "confirmed" the launch window for a phone with specs similar to those on the device we hit yesterday, and that said device is actually in testing right now. Of course, just as we mentioned with the Eos news, this isn't actually confirmed by anyone at Palm (or even close) right now and you know how much the internet loves a rumor.

Work advances on Rue Halévy Apple Store
Active construction has begun at the site of the Rue Halévy Apple Store in Paris, a MacNN source informs. The location is across from the Garnier operahouse, and may be strategically situated in the middle of high tourist traffic with the added benefit of wealthy locals. Like many buildings in the neighborhood, the one containing the Apple Store has historical value.

Neue Bilder vom Pariser Apple Store
Apples neueste Planungen in Deutschland einen weiteren Retail Store zu eröffnen, konzentrieren sich derzeit auf Hamburg. Nach dem Laden in München wird damit bald ein weiterer Standort mit einem Store beglückt. Doch nicht nur in Deutschland expandiert man. Bei unseren Nachbarn in Frankreich entsteht derzeit ein neuer Shop in Paris. Den Kollegen von Hardmac wurden nun aktuelle Bilder dieses Bauvorhabens im Einkaufszentrum des Louvre-Museum zugespielt.

Give me Five: Im Visitenkartenaustauschrausch
Laut einiger Webseiten gibt es das deutsche Wort "Poken" tatsächlich, der Duden kennt es hingegen nicht. Viele aber, die einen Poken besitzen, geraten schnell in den Visitenkartenaustauschrausch. "Ich will dich Poken" heißt es auch in Bielefeld bei MAC on tour. Denn dort sind die kleinen, an Tamagotchi erinnernden Gadgets, derzeit noch vor der offiziellen Verfügbarkeit in Deutschland erhältlich. Sie sammeln per RF-Chip die Visitenkarten anderer Poken-Besitzer und geben die eigenen weiter.

Merlin medical implant monitoring system approved for use in Europe
Merlin.net, a medical monitoring system developed by St. Jude's Medical has been approved for use in Europe (after previous approval in the US). The system transmits medical information from an implanted pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrilator (ICD), to a Merlin monitoring unit in the patient's home, which then transmits the information to the hospital or caretaker. Transmitting the data can occur at any time, regardless of whether the patient is even awake, and provides constant monitoring of the patient. If the system detects a possible problem or "event," it will alert the doctor by text message, email or fax, making possibly emergency situations more easily treatable. Merl

Quantum PI's nanoTrek sensors pick up vibration and motion your Wiimote could never dream of
Quantum PI has just built the first motion sensor chip to use "quantum tunneling," which sounds theoretically unsafe, but we'll follow along. The nanoTrek sensors are classified as NEMS (Nano Electric Mechanical Systems) as opposed to the "bulky" MEMS sensors that can be found everywhere from the Wii to the iPhone. nanoTrek's sensing area is a mere 50 x 50 microns, and its sensitivity is 5 to 10 times greater than MEMS chips. There are all sorts of boring industrial applications to such a sensor, but we're looking forward to the not-too-distant-future when we can be completely disappointed by a brand new version of Super Monkey Ball.[Via

He's the owner of the trademark for Android Data Corporation, granted way back in October of 2002.

World's fastest camera manipulates supercontinuum laser pulses, moonlights at the Hacienda
Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles have developed a new imaging system called Steam, or Serial Time-Encoded Amplified imaging. Billed as the"fastest imaging system ever devised," it works by carefully manipulating so-called supercontinuum laser pulses, for imaging fast-moving or random events, such as communication between neurons. Instead of a flashbulb, this bad boy dispurses a fast laser pulse, which then gets stretched in time and detected electronically, for a "shutter speed" of half a billionth of a second.

Apple faces a new complaint from developers of l' AppStore. Some of them have indeed faced big difficulty to be paid. Whereas the contract states that they will be paid within 45 days to them, some of them have never received any money and others face unacceptable delays, with commissions going back to November 2008 that have not been honoured yet. Apple's plea that they have received thousands of emails from developers and says that it is unable to answer these requests is far from an acceptable excuse.
We will continue to wait for Apple to make a big efforts to cherish the developers who have made the AppStore such a success. However, for some reason that we are unaware of, it is impossible to have smooth commercial relations with them in whatever field that one speaks about.

There's already been some anecdotal evidence that the Kindle appeals to a slightly older set than your average newfangled gadget, and a new poll culled from responses on the Amazon forums is now shedding a bit more, if still not entirely scientific light on the matter. According to the Kindle Culture blog, the single largest group of Kindle users (broken down by decade) is folks in their 50s, with those in their 40s and 60s coming in second and third -- all of which adds up to nearly 50% of users being over 50, and close to 70% being over 40.

Microsoft releases new Laptop Hunters ad
Microsoft has expanded its "You find it, you keep it" series of television ads, now bringing the cash limit up to $2000. The segment features a filmmaker, Sheila, as she tries to find a notebook with a fast processor, big screen and "able to cut video." She migrates to "the best Apple," a MacBook Pro, but eliminates the choice because it only has 2GB of RAM.

Whether or not Windows 7 does launch in October as previously suggested, those who have (or plan to get) Release Candidate will be happy to hear that Microsoft won't be pulling the plug until June 1, 2010, well over a year from now and 11 months after its initial expiration date. After that, you're gonna have to fork over the Benjamins for one of the retail SKUs if you wanna keep 7 alive.

Toshiba to Produce 32-nm NAND Flash Memory
While the economic crisis pushes NAND memory manufacturers to get reorganized, to merge or be acquired by larger corporates, it also forces leaders on this market to keep innovating and increase their profitability.
Toshiba announced it will start in July production of NAND MLC chips engraved at 32 nm. The first batch will offer 4 GB capacity (3 bits per cell). They will be much smaller than those currently produced with a 43-nm engraving process. So, Toshiba will not only produce more chips per wafer, but also be able to offer smaller chips to further increase capacity of SSDs. So, we should quickly see future SSD models with storage capacity of 512 GB, while the price of SSD with smaller storage space should decrease.

Will Apple Cut the Price of some Mac Models?
According to AppleInsider, Apple could, in a near future, cut prices of entry-level MacBook and iMac models, its two best-sellers products. however, reports are not entirely clear, as the decrease might be introduced simultaneously with a minor model update, something like higher clocked CPU.To boost sales, Apple might relaunch its popular "Back to school" campaign, allowing students to get a "free" iPod for the purchase of a MacBook.

MSI's all-in-one Wind Top AE1900 gets dissected
MSI's new all-in-one Wind Top AE1900 may look all neat and tidy on the outside, but it's an expectedly different story on the inside, as the folks at Blogeee.net found out when they unceremoniously ripped one apart. Of course, there aren't exactly a ton of surprises to be found, but it does look like anyone hoping to upgrade the RAM may be out of luck, as the standard 2GB of RAM is simply soldered on with no slot provided for expansion -- although there seems to be a bit of confusion as to whether that'll be the case in the actua

Ferrari splitting ex-Gimondo exec Stefan Eriksson's tale optioned for a movie
At last, former Gizmondo head honcho Bo Stefan Eriksson's story is finally going to be told on film -- or rather, the one told in Wired will be. Writer-director Craig Zobel and producer Beau Flynn have optioned the rights to create a movie based on the publication's October 2006 article "Gizmondo's Spectacular Crack-up" by Randall Sullvan, which chronicles the build up to his infamous car crash. Flynn's production company Contrafilm will be backing the project, and should the movie actually make it to theaters and be successful, we suspect there'll be plenty of material for a sequel.

Apple mulling price cuts, developing netbook competitor?
Sure, Apple just posted a record quarter of earnings, but it's been taking a beating lately on the price issue -- not only have cheap netbooks become the hottest category in the market, Microsoft's Laptop Hunters commercials have reignited the Apple tax debate. That appears to have the wheels in motion in Cupertino: AppleInsider says the MacBook and iMac lines are soon to be bolstered with lower-cost options that should take some of the bite out of Redmond's marketing.

Sheila the Laptop Hunter picks a PC, keeps it civil
We're not sure if Microsoft is winding down its Laptop Hunter campaign, or just decided to step off the class warfare a bit, but this latest ad is pretty hate free. Shelia, a filmmaker with a $2,000 budget, asks the hard questions like "is this graphics card going to be powerful?" and walks out with an HP HDX 16t (an upgraded version of Giampaulo's kit of choice). The MacBook Pro's mere 2GB of RAM at that pricepoint just didn't fly, though we have to wonder which self-professed video editor hasn't already picked a side in the age-old Avid vs. Final Cut Pro debate

Drool-worthy MID concept stops us in our tracks
We see plenty of semi-yawn-inducing MIDs around the office here, and concepts are certainly a dime a dozen in this racket, but Jan Rytir's concept gave us pause. The hyper-hip look of the design makes it startling in a field not generally known for its sexiness, and the bottom rainbow colored tabs are just icing on that sexy, sexy cake. In this rendering, the whole package would measure 180 x 80 x 20mm, have a trackball on the right of the QWERTY slide out keyboard, and boast an Atom CPU, two USB ports and an SD card reader. Can somebody build this? Please? We promise: ravers everywhere will thank you.[Via

Guy goes to extreme lengths to get his MacBook Air issue heard
At first, we were like "What an idiot, this guy is destroying a mostly good MacBook Air for no reason, he must be rich and stupid". But, look what happened. The video is spreading over the Internet. It seems he was pretty much over the MacBook Air with bad hinge (which the video does illustrate has a much brighter screen) and moved on to the ThinkPad, but he probably could have gotten a few hundred bucks for it on Ebay.

Palm Eos/Castle/Pixie set to spar with iPhone on AT&T's network
The mobile device market is heating up just a bit over the past few weeks, isn't it? The latest bomb is that Palm isn't just throwing the Pre on Sprint's network, it is also building a WebOS competitor to the iPhone for AT&T.
The Palm Eos (codenamed Castle/Pixie) will cost $99 with a plan and be an ultra-thin version of the Pre with a non-slideout QWERTY keyboard.
Engadget got the picts, specs and the details:
It is an "astounding" 10.6mm thin, will measure just 55mm x 111mm (about 2.1 by 4.3-inches), weigh 100 grams, and will tout a 2.63-inch, 320 x 400 capacitive display (that's 80 pixels less than the Pre or iPhone)
