The Fujitsu Flepia is the first colored e-book to be released in the market. But with a $1,025 price tag, it’s a little pricey for most consumers of the digitally enhance e-book.

Tired of monochromatic screen display, iRex promised users that they will be releasing next year a full-colored writable e-book reader. iRex is a company spinoff of Philips who has just completed a second version of the Iliad, a $600 e-book reader with an 8.1-inch display screen and 256MB memory.

Hopefully, the iRex’s future colored e-book reader won’t be that heavy for the pocket. But come to think of it, the company does promises a brightness level three times higher than…

Have you ever think about what you would do when you can just show anybody your vacation videos but not only in the comforts of your tiny cellphone and laptop screens? The Pico Camcorder with built-in projector allows you to display real time videos while projecting them anywhere.

The Digilife Pico Projector first made headlines in 2006 as it was regarded as an ideal business solution for smart phones and pocket presentations while on the road. But it wasn’t until this year that we saw the Digilife Pico DDV-JF1— a camcorder with built-in projector—which can shoot 720p at 30 frames per second, or 848×480 at 60 fps, or postage sized 320×240…

A whole new bunch of leaks from Nokia for the AT&T leaks made its way to the Internet this week. And assuming that these would all soon be released in the North America, I’ve decided to name three of these AT&T-enabled phones, focusing on marketing the features of the giant two.

The bunch is composed of the Nokia, Mako, Thresher and the Snapper. But due to the unavailability of the Snapper’s features, we bring you first the Mako and the Thresher.

Nokie Mako is a side-slider and an S60 phone with a QWERTY keyboard in one. Although it has somewhat some snoozy specifications (a low 2 MP camera), I doubt anyone would…

Research In Motion’s BlackBerry Curve overtook Apple’s iPhone to become the top-selling consumer smartphone in the United States during the first quarter of 2009, according to research published by NPD Group on Monday.

NPD’s monthly “Smartphone Market Update” report, based on online surveys of consumers, now ranks the best-selling consumer smartphones in the U.S. as follows:

  1. RIM BlackBerry Curve (all 83XX models)
  2. Apple iPhone 3G (all models)
  3. RIM BlackBerry Storm
  4. RIM BlackBerry Pearl (all models, except flip)
  5. T-Mobile G1

NPD attributed the recent BlackBerry sales surge to an aggressive “buy one, get one free” promotion for the phone by carrier Verizon Wireless. It helped boost RIM’s share of the consumer smartphone market 15 percent to capture nearly…

If you want to pack everything you need in order to get the most out of your favorite iPhone, iPod, as well as iPod Touch, than the E-Pod is the thing for you. The gadget includes a speaker, a movie projector and an alarm clock. All those features are stuffed accurately into a well designed device. Don’t be fooled by the small size of the E-Pod (resembling a custom alarm clock), in reality it provides a rather powerful hi-fidelity audio.

Probably the most impressive thing within the gadget is the projector. However, there’s yet no additional information on the E-Pod. Via Infoniac

We’re getting an eyeball-shattering peek at what could be a revolutionary hybridized netbook-in-a-palmtop MID that forgoes the conventional keyboard and HDD for a prioritized focus on Web surfing and Internet-based applications. The device is cooked up by Michael Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch, and is far from being on shelves; still, it’s churning up a lot of attention on the geek circuit.

Says Arrington of the device, “I wanted something I couldn’t buy, and found people who said it could be built for a lot less than I imagined. This machine isn’t for data entry. But it is for reading e-mails and the news, watching videos on Hulu, YouTube, etc., listening…

Over at the IDF Beijing yesterday, Intel showed up with a spectacular new MID that’s codenamed “Mars” and runs a top-notch Atom processor. The gadget, rolled out with fanfare from a relatively unknown company called BYD, looks like a clamshell phone, but it’s actually a sophisticated portable Internet device. This thing really does run a full-blown Windows XP install. Plus, if you get down on one knee and really take a good, long look at the thing, you’ll see that there’s a real QWERTY keyboard tucked into the package, a genuine secondary screen, and also a regular phone keypad.

A hunk of polymers like this one isn’t just about the looks;…

If you’ve been underwhelmed by your red laser pointer lately, and your green laser pointer’s losing steam, too, then we suggest you think about checking out the new blue-violet laser pointers that are proliferating on the “nearly worth spending that much money on” shelves of the Internet. The blue-violet laser shoots out a beam in the 405 nanometer wavelength, which is an unusual number for a handheld pointer. This is the wavelength utilized by Blu-Ray DVD players – since it’s a shorter wavelength than red, more data can be crammed onto a DVD that’s read by a blue laser than a red laser. They’ve got one of these magic light…

Spotted over in Tokyo this week is a nifty little fixture for the iPhone that gives the handheld a classic Gameboy fashion overhaul. Snapping together around the iPhone, the casing resembles a totally kick-butt, original portable LCD gaming system, that particular one after which all other systems are in a some way modeled, named, molded; and, to which every emerging palm-sized gaming technology hearkens and every self-respecting self-identifying gamer pays gut-busting homage: The Nintendo Game Boy.

Here’s a little history blast for you: The Game Boy is an 8-bit handheld video game system that first saw the light of day in Japan in April 1989. Later that year, screaming fans in…
