Alright, so figuring this one out was a cakewalk. Anyone who wants to listen to music while scuba-diving (down to 10 meters), swimming, or showering can do so with the waterproof Atlantis MP3-player, which can even be strapped onto goggles. $45 sounds euphonic for a rugged music player that is bundled with waterproof earphones too.

The 10″ netbook is not quite dead. Manufacturers simply need to deliver better experiences than they had been doing last year. Single-core Intel Atom processors with integrated graphics and 1024×600 screens running Windows 7 cripple netbooks. Well, the Mini 210 is one more stake in the heart of 10″ netbooks. Do observers still wonder why tablets are all the rage now? More »


From Htcyou: A tad shy of 3 minutes is all that it takes to unbox and disassemble Earth’s sickest Android smartphone, the HTC Droid Incredible. Done in stop-motion animation, the high-definition clip is as entertaining as it is informative. More »


We have known for sometime that HP was readying other versions of its high-end ENVY laptops. Today, the world leader in computer sales announces the May 26th release of the 17″ ENVY and the June 27th availability of the 14.5″ ENVY, both aggressively priced and high spec’ed. More »


From Htcyou: In my estimation, the prettiest Android smartphone on the planet, the aluminum unibody HTC Legend has passed through the FCC’s procedural and is going to Canadian GSM carriers: either Rogers, Bell Mobility, or Telus. For Americans, AT&T; has scored the Legend. More »

After a few days delay, the LG Ally Android 2.1 smartphone (which has a meager 3.2, not 5-megapixel camera as formerly supposed!) and Iron Man 2 promotional website is complete and open for surfers to explore. Are you pumped for one of the biggest summer blockbuster flicks of the year? More »


There seem to be no shortage of Xbox 360 mods, yet since Microsoft’s console is enormous and requires ample cooling, it is hardly conducive to portability, and creations based on it tend to be unwieldy and impractical. Enter a transportable Nintendo GameCube. More »


Let us play a game: every Tuesday, we scour allover for the strangest looking gadgets, and then you guess wildly what they are. Rugged and tiny, this cylindrical gadget has straps and appears to be geared for active use. More »


From Htcyou: As usual, the Engadget staff gets all of the spoils. Just confirmed for June availability, T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G Slide has Ziegler’s itchy fingers all over it. The new T-Mobile Android 2.1 smartphone’s HTC myTouch pedigree is palpable. More »


Samsung, one of the world’s biggest electronics manufacturers, is not idling while the computer industry rushes to produce tablets and slates for consumers. The codenamed “S-Pad” (how original) is a 7″ Super-AMOLED tablet that is going head-to-head against Apple’s iPad. More »


One of my pet-peeves is the misuse of terms like “knock-off” and “fake” to describe something that is merely a lookalike. Zenithink’s iPadclone” is the latter, although it has widely been misrepresented as the former. Backed by premium features such as Android Eclair 2.1 (no outmoded Donut or Cupcake!) and 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the Zenithink tablet might be good and could go for under $300. More »


From Htcyou: The equivalent of $189 nets you an iPad wannabe that has a 7″ (800×480) LED LCD, a Rockchips 600MHz processor, and Android 1.5 OS. More »
