Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 presentation today unveiled nothing that has not been widely rumored for months: there will be no multitasking; Microsoft’s Marketplace store is the only way to obtain WM7 apps; HTC HD2 will not be upgraded to WM7. In a nutshell, Microsoft is following the strictly isolationist iPhone instead of open source Android (surprise!). In more cheerful news, Samsung, Asus, and LG all demoed WM7 devices. More »


A survey by Crowd Science indicates that an alarming number of Blackberry owners “definitely or probably would” switch over to iPhone or Android when they make their next purchases. More »


From Ningin: The Japan Ringing Tone Laboratory has developed 27 ringtones so far that can help ease up some of your troubles. More »


…then join ‘em. Sony stores have been in existence for around several decades, but they have been bland looking places…until now. On March 13th in Nagoya Japan, Sony opened the doors to its first Apple inspired Sony Store. More »


Hollywood is propagating 3D on the big screen, and home theater aficionados will not be left behind. LG’s CF3D projector is 3D capable. If you have 6-figures invested in your HT system and demand bigger picture than 3D HDTVs are offering, then LG’s CF3D can fill up your wall. More »


Even Bill Gates has, on numerous occasions, expressed admiration of the iPhone, although he forbids himself and his family from owning Apple products (those poor souls). Steve Ballmer uses Windows Mobile smartphones, but many of his employees secretly cherish their iPhones. More »


MSI Wind and Mac OS X 10.6 lover “alexbates” over at Insanely Wind has merged his loves and created the tablet that most Apple faithfuls wished the iPad were…and for only $350. More »

Heads up, Diggers, because Digg.com is going to be revamped significantly in a few weeks. Among the changes are one-click submissions, personalized homepages, weakened power Diggers, and more evenly distributed traffic to top posts. More »


…because, as Steve Jobs has discovered, they will become your bitterest enemies. In case you did not know, Eric Schmidt was on Apple’s board of directors until August 2009, even though he has been Google CEO since 2001. There was clearly a conflict of interests, as proven by Google’s release of Android OS, which is a direct competitor to the iPhone. More »


OK, these are more like “pretty good,” not wicked, mods, but they are easy to install and take virtually minutes to assemble. I have never been in favor of chrome for anything, but somehow, these replacement cases for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3/PS3 Slim are tasteful. More »


It matters little that Apple’s iPad is not even shipping yet. Mervis Diamond is now taking pre-orders for the company’s $19,999 diamond iPad, which is going to be delivered June 1st.

Not surprisingly, Christer Grevaeg’s 6th GeN customized computer won Bit-Tech’s “Mod of the Year 2009” award. Standing almost 6 feet, atop four wheels, consisting of 48 hard drives (30Tb total), cooled by four massive water-cooling radiators, containing 3 computers, 6th GeN is THE beast; see the dragon emblem on its side for proof.

According to an AAPL estimate, Apple may have served over 120,000 iPad customers during its first day of pre-orders. The caveat here is that AAPL’s numbers have been derived from only a small sample of orders. More »
