For You Digital MX10 5-inch Android MID hands-on

Published by Tech Pundit | Filed under Gadgets & Tech, Google | September 3rd, 2010

Who says the Streak is the only game in town if you want a 5-inch Android device? Well, no one, actually — there are lots of generic options if you just want something with a 5-inch display running on Google juice — but regardless, we had a chance to check out just such a device introduced at IFA this week, the so-called MX10 with Android 2.1 from South Korea’s For You Digital. Our first impression on seeing the MX10 is that it’s pretty stylish and doesn’t give off the air of jankiness that you occasionally get with these off-brand MIDs; it’s available in both black and white, and we especially liked the white which gets a matte silver ring around the edge (the black is paired with chrome, which obviously suffers from more fingerprint issues).

Chrome is now 2 years old! Google celebrates with release of version 6

Two years. Can you believe it’s only been two years since we started browsing the internet faster than a potato can tear through the air ? Well, Google can, and it’s certainly not been sitting around during that time, improving Chrome ’s JavaScript performance by a factor of 3, and throwing in a litany of additional features, like tab side-by-side view, themes, auto-translation, and bookmark and preference sync across machines

Huawei Ideos hands-on

Published by Tech Pundit | Filed under Gadgets & Tech, Google | September 3rd, 2010

Chinese telecom giant Huawei — which has been playing the Android game with major carriers around the world for some time now — has selected IFA to debut the Ideos, a new entry-level model running Froyo in a variety of colors. Huawei’s press release calls the Ideos “the world’s first affordable smartphone” — which seems like a bit of an overstatement (okay, a huge overstatement) to us — but really underscores the fact that this thing is going to be launching for somewhere between $100 and $200 unsubsidized in Europe, Asia, and both North and Latin America.

Published by Tech Pundit | Filed under Gadgets & Tech | September 3rd, 2010

Lacie’s keeping up its eccentric branding strategy today with this pest-inspired new USB key. Measuring a mere 20mm in length and 10 grams in weight, the MosKeyto is ready to all but disappear once you plug it into your computer, and it’ll outdo its physical counterpart by not only sucking data down but pushing it back out should you want it. Basically, it’s yet another miniaturized USB drive and can be owned today, starting at $18 for the 4GB version

Skype 5.0 beta brings 10-way video calling to the world

Published by Tech Pundit | Filed under Gadgets & Tech, Windows | September 3rd, 2010

Skype ’s Windows client is showing a bit of ambition today as its latest beta version now boasts a mighty 10-way video calling implementation. The earlier v5.0 beta threw up five-way vidchat , but it’d seem Skype kept its software engineers working through the summer and now we’ve got double the visual fun. Which would be awesome if we actually had nine other people we cared to see while talking to them.
