Polaroid plans Spectrum 7-, 8- and 9-inch ICS tablets for 2012 launch
Hey, remember that Polaroid mystery tablet that sneaky tipster spotted on the showfloor? We managed to snag some more details about the slate -- and its brethren -- today. The company will be launching three tablets under the Spectrum name this year -- the Spectrum 7, 8, and 9, each with screens about as big as you suspect, given the fairly straight forward numbering system. Otherwise, the specs look pretty similar on the three tablets, including a Cortex A8 1GHz processor, front and rear-facing cameras and between 4- and 16GB of external storage, expandable via a microSD slot. The company has also promised that the tabs will be rocking Android 4.0 when they ship before year's end.

Nyko Kindle Fire power case, Vita speaker stand hands-on
When you've got a bad case of the short-battery life blues, Nyko, it seems, is almost always around to augment your troubles away. We hoped to drop by the outfit's CES booth to see if it's upcoming Vita Power Grip could do for Sony's next generation portable as it did for Nintendo's 3DS, but we were told that the grip wasn't quite ready for prime-time. Instead, we got a look at a pair of Nyko speaker stands for the PlayStation Vita and the Kindle Fire, as well as a battery powered case for Amazon's slate. The PSV's speaker stand is what you'd expect -- an iPod dock for the PlayStation Vita -- but the Kindle Fire varient is a bit more substantial, packing a onboar

Q4 PC shipments drop 1.4 percent; Apple sees best US growth
In spite of two previous quarters of gains, computer industry shipments slipped 1.4 percent in Q4 2011 to 92.2 million units, according to preliminary Gartner estimates. The research firm had been forecasting a 1 percent drop. "Continuously low consumer PC demand resulted in weak holiday PC shipments," analyst Mikako Kitagawa is quoted as saying. "While economic uncertainty in Western Europe had an effect on consumer PC shipments, expectations of a healthier economic outlook in North America could not stimulate consumer PC demand in that region.

Kanex at 2012 CES: Charging Station for Multiple iPads

iPod shuffle debuted on this day in 2005
On January 11, 2005, Apple introduced the iPod shuffle to the world.
Designed as a way to enjoy music while exercising, the shuffle brought random play of music to the iPod. The first edition of this device looked remarkably like a white stick of gum, featuring no display or scroll wheel, and plugging right into a USB port for syncing. It was also the first Apple iPod to do away with an internal hard drive, using only flash memory to store music.
Since that time, the iPod shuffle has been transformed several times. The first change in September, 2006 turned the device into a small clip-like device similar to the iPod shuffle we know and love today. The third-generation shuffle, which was introduced in March of 2009, took small siz

There's a surprising dearth of Apple-related news this week, other than pundits talking about how almost every company at CES is copying Apple's innovations in one way or another. No worries -- if you're depressed hearing about the latest cheesy MacBook Air clone or some other company's iPad ripoff, I'll cheer you up this afternoon with another episode of TUAW TV Live.
Looking into the box of goodies here at the TUAW TV Live studio, I find that I have a pocket-sized analog synthesizer that can be used to process output from an iPad, iPhone or musica

Belkin partners with MCV to bring mobile TV to iOS
Through a new partnership with Mobile Content Venture, Belkin has announced it will be creating hardware that enables smartphone and tablet users to watch live broadcast programming. Shown at CES as a prototype, the mobile DTV accessory connects to an iOS device through the Dock Connector and streams a TV signal without the need for an Internet connection. A standard 3.5mm audio jack is also included, making it unclear if the device will allow audio to be streamed through the device's built-in speaker.

The Engadget Interview: Google TV Product Manager Rishi Chandra at CES 2012 (video)
After launching its initial volley in late 2010, Google TV remained in a holding pattern hardware-wise while waiting for the massive upgrade to Honeycomb that would bring third party apps and an entirely new UI. Now Google TV 2.0 has arrived, and it's been followed by a slew of new product announcements. While Logitech has bowed out this time, new partners Vizio, LG and Samsung are joining Sony for round two, so we took a few minutes to chat with product manager Rishi Chand

Daily iPhone App: CraigsPro+

Hierzulande sieht es ja noch einigermassen dürftig aus in Sachen LTE-Netzabdeckung, in den USA ist das etwas anders: Sprint will in der ersten Jahreshälfte seine LTE-Variante des Galaxy Nexus rausbringen. Wie erwartet sieht es kaum anders aus und unterscheidet sich nur durch das Branding und Google Wallet und das Fehlen jeglicher Bloatware. Das mag daran liegen, dass das Phone noch mit einer ziemlich frühen Softwareversion läuft, wie ihr im kurzen Hands-On nach dem Break sehen kö

Griffin's Helo TC Assault chopper lets you act out your Airwolf fantasies on the cat
It's not just a big stetson that Griffin's rocking up with at CES, it's also packing some brand new gear for the warm climes of Nevada. First up is the wonderfully childish update to last summer's Helo TC Assault RC Helicopter that'll provide you hours of fun (misery for your children / co-workers) thanks to its ability to fire missiles. An infra-red flight deck plugs into your iDevice's headphone jack and will let you control it using its touch interface or using your internal gyroscope. We know it'll cost $60, just ten dollars more for the ability to conduct bombing runs on

T-Mobile didn't get the iPhone because of its unique 3G bands
T-Mobile CEO Philipp Humm talked to Ina Fried of AllThingsD at CES this week about a variety of topics, including the iPhone. Humm confirmed what we all assumed -- T-Mobile didn't get the iPhone because of its unique 3G technology. "The key reason we didn't have the iPhone in the past is we are on different band than globally the market was," said Humm.
Unlike other carriers which use the 850, 900, 1900 or 2100 MHz frequencies, T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 MHz AWS band for its 3G. Handsets must have a specific chipset with this unique 3G UMTS band to operate on T-Mobile's network.

Kolumne: Im Westen nichts Neues
Es ist schon über zehn Jahre her, als auf der US-Elektronikmesse CES mit der Xbox von Microsoft ein echter Knaller präsentiert wurde. Vor fünf Jahren konnte die Karawane der enttäuschten CES-Beobachter immerhin noch während der Messe von Las Vegas zum spektakulären Launch des ersten iPhones nach San Francisco weiterziehen. In diesem Jahr wird der Weg aus der Wüste zur rettenden Oase länger dauern.

Origin PC boosts Genesis factory clock to 5.7GHz, reveals new EON gaming laptop design
Origin PC has been spitting out 5.2GHz Genesis desktops for a few months already, but apparently some people wanted more. Thanks to a new 'Phase Change' cooling system that'll be available from late Q1, they're about it get it: a Core i7 2700K system factory clocked to 5.7GHz. Cooling controls and temperature displays will help you to establish the proper balance of power and pollution, while lifetime technical support (which now applies to all Origin PCs in the US) is just a phone call away in case you need to share the rush.

Polaroid SC1630 Android HD smart camera hands-on, is it a cameraphone or a phonecamera?
The camera modules in smartphones continually improve, and these days there are phones like the iPhone 4S and the Nokia N9 who can take snapshots as good -- and sometimes better -- than point-and-shoots. Polaroid's known for making cameras, but its newest device, a rebrand of the Aigo A8 we saw at CES last year, flips the script by taking a 16 megapixel point-and-shoot and shoving an Android phone inside.

Looks-wise, aside from the touchscreen, it's business as usual. The Android interface is a little sluggish, although our major issue , we'd prefer to be handling Gingerbread by now, if not Ice Cream Sandwich.

Spanish tablet maker NT-K claims extortion by Apple
Nuevas Tecnologias y Engergías Catalá (NT-K) has filed charges against Apple in Spain, alleging that the company went too far in its ultimately-unsuccessful 2010 patent litigation and crossed the line into extortion, FOSS Patents reports. The company, which manufactures its own Android-based tablet with a familiar look, won a case brought against it by Apple accusing the company of counterfeiting, but did suffer a short-term customs ban.

BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 hands-on (video)
Highlighting RIM's presence at CES 2012 is the official unveiling of PlayBook OS 2.0. On track for a February arrival, this release will deliver many features that productivity-minded users have pined for since the tablet's arrival. First and foremost, we were given a demo of the PlayBook's new email client and address book. The new software is functional and intuitive, which offers a unified inbox, application integration and ties to social networks such as Twitter and LinkedIn. Also quite nice, the calendar displays both day and agenda views, along with the individuals you'll meet during the day. We also saw a quick demo of the

Sony's Kaz Hirai: no PlayStation 4 at E3
It looks like you can officially put any hopes of a PlayStation 4 announcement at E3 to rest. In a roundtable with reporters at CES, Sony's Kaz Hirai responded to a question about recent comments attributed to gaming division head Andrew House by stating that "Andy is absolutely right in that we are not making any announcements at E3." As The Wall Street Journal reports, Hirai further added that he's "always said a 10-year life cycle for PS3, and there is no reason to go away from that." That ten-year life cycle would place the PS3's end-of-life around 2016, but as with the PS2 and PS3, we'd expect some overlap between the PS3 an

LG Spectrum hands-on (video)
We got our first glimpse of Verizon's latest LTE family member, the LG Spectrum, yesterday at the manufacturer's event. At the time, however, we weren't given an opportunity to get our own smudge marks on the glossy black device. That's all changed now, as we've spent time on the showroom floor getting know this Android handset -- a veritable twinner of the LG Nitro HD. So click on past the break as we parse through our first impressions.

Razer's Project Fiona hands-on (video)
Breaking ground in the nearly nonexistent market of hardcore gaming tablet with renders is interesting, but there's nothing quite grasping something tangible. Razer's project Fiona, for example, is something to grasp -- sporting twin joystick handles on either side, it begs to be held. We couldn't help but oblige, and dropped by Razer's CES booth for a few minutes with the bold Windows 8 slab. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan gave us the skinny -- read on get it yourself.

Spotted: the elusive 15-inch Samsung Series 9
Though we got to spend several weeks poking around the redesigned, 13-inch Series 9 laptop, we never did get to handle the new 15-inch version. It's a matter of particular curiosity for us, not just because yours truly has a minor laptop obsession, but because we've never seen anything quite this thin with quite this expansive a display. So, we couldn't resist a little playtime when we stumbled upon it at Samsung's CE

EmporiaCLICK hands-on at CES 2012 (video)
It may not turn the heads of anyone who needs the latest and greatest phone -- let alone most smartphone users -- but Emporia Telecom's not going after that market. Rather, the handset manufacturer is busy pushing out devices that appeal to the first-time phone buyer or anyone who doesn't need anything besides a simple phone that actually makes calls and sends messages. The EmporiaCLICK, which should be available this Spring for under $100 without contract, is the absolute epitome of the basic clamshell cameraphone, complete with large buttons, fingerp
