Verizon’s Samsung Juke gets some time in front of the camera
The Samsung Juke has landed on Verizon Wireless’ network and the hype is starting to grow. Albeit, the hype is small, but Verizon is really pushing this thing as the musicphone to have. It’s on the low-end of low-end phones. With dual-band CDMA (800/1900Mhz), 1.3 megapixel camera, and A2DP Bluetooth, this thing’s slight on the…

We’ve all heard of (pun?) the bone conduction technology in the awesomely awesome Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset, heck we’ve even got an in-house model. But, when you start to think about it, it just makes sense for the background-noise-eliminating technology to hit mobile phones. Pantech has done just that. The Pantech A1407PT has just been…
Build your own Linux or Windows CE-based smartphone – seriously
We gotta admit, the thought has cross our minds. Sometimes we can’t help but think that we could design a smarter smartphone than some manufacturers out there. Enter the Compulab EM-X270 do-it-yourself smartphone kit – while they don’t give us all the tools to make the best smartphone out there (you still need an enclosure/case…
