Completing a trio of ‘hands-on’ reviews this week is the Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset. Quite a distinctive little number, with a medium-long boom on it, and some very stylised lines to it – oh, and the case doubles as a charger! Interested? Read on….!
Hands-on with the Altec Lansing InMotion Classic (IMT620)
I recently had some news through about the Altec Lansing InMotion Classic IMT620, which I posted up. Basically it’s an iPhone/iPod speaker stand, including both an FM Radio, and the ability to take an AUX input – a handy variety of options then! Well now I’ve had one for a while, I have some thoughts…
Hands-on with the Altec Lansing Orbit-M
Not so very long ago, I posted up news that Altec Lansing had released their Orbit range, including the -M (which is a 3.5mm jack connected speaker) and the -USB, which is a (surprisingly enough) little speaker connected via USB. Well now I’ve spent some time with the Orbit-M, I think I can post up…
Hands-on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 @ CTIA Fall 2009
Sony Ericsson didn’t have a CTIA booth this go around, so they sent their Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 with the “Windows Phone” booth to keep things interesting. There was no way I wasn’t going to get my hands all over the X2’s improved arc-slider and 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen. The X1 launched Sony Ericsson’s high-end XPERIA…
Hands-on the Nokia N900 at CTIA Fall 2009
CTIA Fall 2009 isn’t the biggest show we’ve ever been to. In fact, this particular conference might be the smallest CTIA we’ve ever attended. But, that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of cool hardware to ogle on the showfloor. Take the Nokia N900 for example. It’s Nokia’s latest Nseries smartphone, and the first of the…
Hands-on: HTC HD2 – Windows Mobile 6.5 at its best
That’s it. Game over. After spending some quality one-on-one time with the HTC HD2 (Leo) today, we’re convinced that the HTC HD2 is the “baddest Windows Phone” of the year. In fact, the HD2 might be strong enough to carry that title through much of next year. The powerful-yet-slim HD2 packs a 1Ghz Snapdragon chipset…
Rock Band coming to iPhone with 4-way Bluetooth multi-player mode!
Rock Band is on its way to the iPhone! Forget everything you thought you knew about beat-matching music games on the iPhone, EA Mobile’s Rock Band is by far the best in its class. We had a chance to sit down with EA Mobile at CTIA WITE 2009 to get a sneak-peek at Rock Band…
Hands-on with the Android-powered Samsung Moment
Samsung has officially gone Android. Today, at the CTIA WITE 2009 conference in beautiful San Diego, Samsung unveiled the Samsung Moment as their first Android phone to hit market. The Moment features a 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera (with autofocus and LED flash), slide-out QWERTY keyboard, GPS, WiFi and an optical mouse. There’s also…
Zer01 unlimited voice and data service demo @ Fall CTIA 2009
It’s been a long time coming, and they’ve had to trudge through a veritable gauntlet of bad press related to Global Verge and Buzzirk Mobile, but Zer01 Mobile is finally ready to show that they’re not just full of hot air. Zer01 CEO Ben Piilani was on hand at the Fall CTIA WITE 2009 conference…
First impressions: Altec Lansing InMotion Classic and Orbit-M
You might have seen a couple of posts I put up the other day on the new Altec Lansing products – namely the InMotion Classic, and Orbit-M. Well, having spent a little quality time with each one, here are some initial thoughts: InMotion Classic Good size vs weight Rock solid support of the iPhone in…
