ASUS DR-950 to be released in April for a likely £250
Jan 26th
ASUS hasn’t exactly been tight-lipped about its DR-950 e-reader — you know, with it outing photos and all — but apparently the 9-inch E Ink, touchscreen reading device will be ready for buyers in April. ASUS told the guys at Electric Pig that it’s currently in process of shopping around for content partners, but plans to have the e-reader to market by springtime with a price tag in the range of £250 (about $354). Not too bad, though it’s tough to get too jazzed about a black-and-white model with the OLED color DR-570 version on the horizon.

Nexus One’s unitouch browser falls victim to Cyanogen
Jan 22nd
Hey, Andy, thanks for “considering” adding multitouch to the Nexus One — meanwhile, though, there are folks in the trenches actually making it happen, so we might not need your help anymore. The usual suspects over at xda-developers (the legendary Cyanogen, specifically) have mixed, baked, and cooled a delicious new Browser APK for Google’s so-called superphone that undoes the company’s poorly-made decision to leave out the hot-button feature on everyone’s mind. The dude says that you might lose your settings and bookmarks in the process, but we’d say that’s a small price to pay — especially considering that you’d normally have to flash the entire ROM anyhow. Seriously though, Andy, just check it out for a few days and see what you think, alright?

Motorola Motoroi coming to USA in March
Jan 19th
Well, isn’t this a novelty? The well practiced skill of lusting after Korean gear from afar won’t be necessary with Motorola’s latest Android 2.0 handset, as we’re hearing the Motoroi is headed to US shelves this March. Moto Korea head honcho Rick Wolochatiuk was on hand at the Korean launch to confirm that the new handset “will be launched in other markets around the world,” with the US specifically confirmed for a March release. The Motoroi , if you recall, is a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen spliced atop hardware good enough to record 720p video and output it via HDMI. An 8 megapixel camera with Xenon flash should ensure you get pretty decent photos too. But what are we doing telling you about it when there are perfectly good promo videos after the break? Go get ‘em! Continue reading Motorola Motoroi coming to USA in March Motorola Motoroi coming to USA in March originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 19 Jan 2010 07:52:00 EST.

Samsung busts out three all-in-one PCs for Korean market
Jan 13th
We saw plenty of Samsung’s wild conceptual efforts while at CES, but it looks like they’ve not yet completely given up on actual products. Good news for Korea, today — it looks like they’ll be getting three new all-in-one PCs from the company any day now. The MU100 boasts an Intel Atom N450 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and Intel GMA 3150 graphics, while the 20-inch MU200′s got an Intel Pentium T4400 processor and GeForce G310 graphics with 512MB of VRAM. Finally, the 23-inch, full HD MU250′s got an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 CPU, 3GB of RAM, a 500GB of HDD, GeForce G310 graphics with 512MB of VRAM. Both the M200 and the M250 displays are multitouch , and all three systems run Windows 7 Home Premium. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability outside of Korea.

OLED becomes art, your bank account becomes empty (video)
Jan 11th
We’re still on the cusp of an OLED revolution for home entertainment — or at least we’re still holding out hope that we are. We’d planned on having big-screen displays by now but we’re instead still dealing with tiny ones along with a never-ending series of concepts . This latest use, spotted at last week’s CES, adds a little artistic flair to the technology, staggering a series of displays and synchronizing the video across them to create some lovely results. We’re not really into the whole lacquered boat look, but the fan-like array of displays is quite interesting to say the least. As is the cost: upwards of $100,000. You could buy a lot of XEL-1 TVs for that money. Video after the break.

Inbrics M1 is the thinnest Android slider we’ve seen, probably everything we ever wanted
Jan 10th
We don’t know what everybody else in the phone business has been doing lately, but Inbrics has just unveiled what looks to be the near-ultimate Android phone. The Inbrics M1 is a slider handset with a (great) 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 3 megapixel camera, front-facing VGA camera, 16GB of built-in storage, microSD slot and all the other usual trimmings, but what’s particularly stunning is that the phone is not only half an inch thick, but it has a full QWERTY keyboard that’s surprisingly clicky and typable. The phone is running Android 1.5 right now, but it should be up to Android 2.0 by the time it hits the market in March. The biggest concern is the 800MHz Samsung processor, the same chip that’s in the Samsung Moment, but the interface (as demonstrated in the video after the break) is smooth as butter, and they demo’d it playing back 720p video just fine. Inbrics actually has a lot of custom UI and software running on top of Android, but the most interesting part is what they’re doing with video calling and beaming media from handset to videophone to TV to laptop over DLNA or through an access point device that plugs into the TV over HDMI. Inbrics also has a Cover Flow-style media browser that isn’t super deep in functionality, but still puts the stock Android stuff to shame, and some rather sexy custom widgets. The plan is apparently to get a carrier to bite and rebrand this phone in the US, so price and availability are still pretty hard to pin down, but if this phone can hit the market soon it sure could give the rest of the QWERTY Android sliders out there some body image issues.

Viliv P3 is like the Zii Egg of devices that don’t run Plaszma OS (hands-on)
Jan 9th
When we approached the just-introduced Viliv P3 , we were cautiously optimistic that we were looking at a phone. Needless to say, our hopes would go on to be mercilessly dashed, but in the wake of the carnage, we were still left with an intriguing PMP with a big AMOLED display and an 800MHz Cortex A8 processor. You could argue that the most compelling feature, though, is that it clocks in at just 9.8mm thick — a full 1.7mm thinner than the Nexus One while still managing 800 x 480 resolution. It felt a little creaky, but we were assured that the unit on hand was an early prototype — and honestly, we’d even be willing to take a little creakiness on a production model if you get this kind of thickness (or lack thereof) in return. It’s also got 720p TV-out, storage up to 32GB, optional T-DMB and DAB tuners, an exposed microSD slot on the bottom, and — check this out — Windows CE dual-boot capability, although the unit here only had Android installed. Stuff an HSPA radio in there and call it good, guys. Follow the break for a quick video of the P3 in action.

Samsung Bada S8200 and Galaxy2 may match Nexus One’s specs
Jan 7th
Well, we’re hearing this morning — from Eldar Mertazin — that Samsung’s upcoming Bada S8200 and Galaxy2 specs may well match the Nexus One. Nothing solid, of course, but it would seem they’ll both be running the Snapdragon at 1GHz, feature 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreens, WiFi, GPS, HSPA, and 5 megapixel cams. The Galaxy2 will purportedly ring in at €450 (roughly $650) and the S8200 in the €400 ($575) range. So with that — admittedly slim — bit of info out of the way, all we can do is just sit back, relax, and wait for Samsung’s boasting to begin.

Nexus One review
Jan 5th
The Nexus One. In the modern climate of hyped (and over-hyped) smartphone launches, Google’s official entry into the phone-sales game has excelled in a department where many find difficulty: generating legitimate excitement.
