Logitech Revue and Google TV get very early blurrycam impressions

Well, what do we have here? Looks like a Logitech beta user was kind enough to (potentially break his NDA and) show off his early grab: the Google TV-infused Revue

LG Optimus One and Optimus Chic eyes-on

That “leaked” low-end LG Android device from a few days back?

Cambridge scientists develop lower-than-low power WORM memory

Researchers at Cambridge University have recently published a paper on their new type of WORM (write once read many) memory which is even more low powered than the ones that came before it.

SD Card Association: flash card speeds to triple by 2012

The SD Card Association (truth be told, one of our favorite card-related associations) has a new spec in the works that will almost triple the speed of its SDHC and SDXC cards, according to CNET . The specification, which should be complete Q1 next year, will achieve 300MB per second by adding a second row of electrical contacts on the bottom face of the card, and will be backward compatible with older, slower devices

Klipsch issues first on-ear headphones, Image S5i Rugged and bargain Image S3 earbuds

It’s been awhile since we sashayed through Klipsch ’s world headquarters back in December of last year, but the company certainly hasn’t let off of the pedal. Today at IFA , it managed to introduce no fewer than three new headphones, including the outfit’s very first on-ear set

App Review: Angry Birds (Android)

What does it take to make an addictive game? Not much — just throw in some super simple controls, cute graphics, and basic physics.

Vodafone’s Microsoft Surface: like Go Fish for phones

Microsoft worked with Vodafone late last year to deploy Surfaces to a few dozen stores in several European countries (much as AT&T has done in the US), and one of those units happens to be set up at the carrier’s IFA booth this week. The basic idea here is that each available model appears as a card that can be twirled, resized, and flung around the screen

Galaxy Tab with WiMAX coming to Sprint this November?

The CDMA-equipped Samsung Galaxy Tab has so far been nothing more than a sticker in a random snapshot and some whispers about Verizon , but Boy Genius Report is saying that the Tab’s also bound for Sprint ’s network this November, on both its 3G and 4G (i.e. WiMAX ) network — à la the Galaxy S / Epic 4G

New official MeeGo screenshots show promise, influence

MeeGo’s official user interface guidelines could easily end up determining whether the platform sinks or swims — no one wants a phone whose UI looks like junk, after all. The minions at Nokia and Intel’s little pet project have posted new OS shots as examples of how to properly implement the interface in third-party apps, and we’ve got to admit — things are looking a lot cleaner, prettier, and generally more modern than the first round of pictures we saw back in June , thanks in part to a demonstration of the platform’s comprehensive theming capability that can totally revamp how UI elements look. We’re definitely seeing shades of webOS in the task switcher (pictured above), but then again, Nokia’s no stranger to borrowing ideas it likes.

Rydeen hopes to cash in on tablet fever with Android-based, Armada-powered PND

You may never have heard of auto electronics provider Rydeen Mobile, but it certainly knows of you — or more specifically, your desire to obtain a slick new tablet PC — and has thus created an 7-inch Android tablet that integrates the dedicated map functionality of its GPS machines. The “gPad” GCOM701 won’t be a terribly high-end device, mind you, with an 800MHz ARMADA 166 SOC , 256MB of RAM, bring-your-own-microSD-storage and what we’re led to believe is a resistive touchscreen, but it sounds like at least Rydeen isn’t being stingy on the software front.
