Holy Crap I’m in One of Those Taiwanese Animations About That Crazy Lightsaber Laser [Video]

GOD, weird. So a while back I called WickedLasers’ Spyder III a “real life lightsaber.” (It wasn’t quite that cool in practice). LucasFilm took issue and threw a fit. Here’s the whole saga (and ME) immortalized in Taiwanese CGI. More »

CyanogenMod 6 on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G

admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 17:46:32 +0000

You won’t find it for download anywhere, it’s being called "very broken" and don’t dare ask for an ETA, but here’s a quick peek at CyanogenMod 6 on the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. Less than 24 hours after getting properly rooted and a custom recovery made, this sure looks pretty. Told you the ROMs would come soon. [@kmobs]

SkyFire Pulls In Nearly $1 Million In Its First Weekend On The App Store

admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 09:46:33 +0000

Just about every time I write about SkyFire, the cross-platform (and generally free) smartphone browser capable of churning through most Flash videos, someone always says: “Great! But uh, how are they going to make money?” Well, looks like they’ve figured that out. In their first weekend on iOS ? the first and only current platform on which SkyFire isn’t free ? SkyFire managed to pull in right around 1 million bucks in sales.

FlipSide 2X Wallet Review

admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 05:46:37 +0000

When it comes to wallets, do you consider yourself a traditionalist or modernist? Traditionalists tend to choose wallets made of leather, nylon or canvas style materials, while modernists are up for plastic, stainless steel, sailcloth, tyvek and more. I would place my own wallet preferences somewhere in the middle of the two. I love leather, but I’m always [...]

Droid 2 Global gets introduced by Motorola in video form

admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 01:46:32 +0000

At this point we’re starting to wonder if Verizon is even really going to bother with giving the Droid 2 Global an official announcement. The device is already available for pre order on the Verizon website along with the Droid Pro, yet Motorola is the one doing the introducing the device to the world via a new video. Rather weird if you ask us, but surely at some point Verizon will make some sort of announcement. While we wait, hit the video after the break for some Droid 2 Global goodness. [via DroidLife]

The ZAGGMate iPad case comes in two flavors, both of which look like aluminum tea-trays, only smaller. The cases protect just the screen of the iPad, clipping on like an iPhone shell-style case, only in the front instead of on the back.
Both cases also double as stands, with a neat, hinged plastic wedge that flips [...]

Forrester: e-book sales to hit nearly $1 billion this year, $3 billion by 2015

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 13:46:39 +0000

There’s no denying that e-books are already big business, and market research firm Forrester is now offering some pretty impressive numbers that show just how big it already is, and how much bigger it will get in the next few years. The firm surveyed some 4,000 people and found that while just seven percent of those actually read e-books, they still bought enough of them to translate to $966 million in sales this year — a number that’s projected to grow to $3 billion by 2015. As for the reading habits of that seven percent, Forrester found that they “read the most books and spend the most money on books,” and that they read 41 percent of their books in digital form. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they use actual e-readers, though — a full 35 percent apparently do most of their e-book reading on a laptop, followed by 32 percent on a Kindle, 15 percent on an iPhone, 12 percent on a Sony e-reader, and ten percent on a netbook. Interestingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, Kindle users seem to be the biggest boosters of e-books — they do 66 percent of all their reading in digital form.
