BenQ-Siemens SL98 reverse slider

Amazon.com Widgets Filed under: Handsets, BenQ-Siemens

Just when we thought that the slider form factor had reached its zenith, BenQ-Siemens has apparently knocked that all to bits with this, the SL98. Rather than always having the screen exposed to the elements — and über abrasive pocket lint — this novel approach has a small [...]

Filed under: Industry, HD DVD

Just as we all wished, now that oh-so-informative Blu-ray statistics site that was unearthed earlier this month has an HD DVD counterpart.

Filed under: Amp’d, MVNOs
Verizon has got to be rolling its eyes at this one. We’re not too sure what’s going on behind the scenes here, but Amp’d has seemingly somehow bought itself a few additional days of life on Verizon’s backbone, moving its drop-dead date forward one week to next Tuesday, July 31. For customers [...]

Hands-on with Shure Music Phone Adapter

I spent the weekend testing out a pre-production prototype of Shure’s $40 Music Phone Adapter, which provides hope for all of us iPhone-usin’ types who don’t particularly like Apple’s stock earbuds.
I’m an in-ear headphone guy, and quite honestly, I will never, ever, ever go back to little earbuds of the style Apple provides. Not that [...]
