Mike Tyson was the baddest man on the earth, until he became one of the most shameful men in the world. The HTC Droid Incredible’s reign as the sickest smartphone in America will be short-lived since the Sprint Evo 4G is under two months from hitting the store shelves, but for now, Verizon has the king of phones.

Rovio is a bot that can be controlled wireless from anywhere in the world. So as long the user has internet address, Rovio will obey every command. Equipped with a webcam and a microphone (as well as a speaker for 2-way audio), this robot can patrol your house even when you are thousands of miles from home. More »


From Htcyou: Spring Design’s Alex eReader is a duo-screen Android media player and EPD e-reader on a slate, not a folder like the enTourage eDGe, but rather akin to the Barnes & Noble Nook. The Alex shipped a few weeks ago. Two reviewers praised it for relatively fast performance but denounced its $399 price and tiny selection of books. More »

What differentiates Hanvon’s Touchpad F10 from the HP Slate? Aside from the bigger, 10.1″ screen? Pretty much nothing. Like the HP, the F10 is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom (Z530), has a low-resolution of 1024×600, 1Gb RAM (though the F10’s is expandable), and Windows 7. More »


The whole iPhone 4G prototype affair is not comedic for Gary Powell and Apple. Hopefully, soon it will not be funny for Gizmodo either. In the meantime, enjoy some levity from David Letterman’s long running Top 10 list of excuses that Powell can use for losing his iPhone. More »


From Htcyou: Stefano Giovannoni designs almost anything (including toilets), and Alessi makes kitchen utensils, so for them, Promelit is building a fashionable Android tablet that is at home on a counter-top beside your oven. More »

Since Newegg and AMD were kind enough to give Ziggytek an AMD Athlon II X4 processor, I was curious what kind of build we could make with that. Perhaps this would be useful to the winner of our current giveaway. I’m going to make a build that I would actually use for myself or in the Mixr Media office. I’ve also set a budget of $500 which doesn’t include a monitor. After the jump, a really good, all-purpose build for under $500 with the AMD Athlon II X4 processor. More »
