In a rather disappointing example of “your mileage may vary,” market research firm Northstream has put TeliaSonera’s shiny new LTE network — the world’s first to go commercial — to the test, coming away with some disappointing conclusions. The bottom line is that they never managed to go above about 12Mbps downstream, a pretty wild [ Read More ]
This next item’s for any rogue states out there that might be planning a comprehensive wave of cyber-attacks: It looks like Microsoft has admitted that indeed it was a security flaw in Internet Explorer that hackers based in China exploited in the recent attacks on Google. As is often the case, the flaw is neatly [ Read More ]
After our adventure in figuring out the particular ExpressCard version of the StarTech USB 3.0 adapter, here’s Buffalo joining the fray and, naturally, there’s zero indication about whether this is an ExpressCard 1.0 or 2.0 device. The difference is that with the latter you can get all the way up to 5Gbps theoretical throughput, which [ Read More ]
Looking for something a little different and exciting in the Android space? Acer’s Liquid A1 probably fits the bill. Sure, it’s another in a long line of slate-style phones with Android, but the quirky (if chunky) design and zippy Snapdragon processor are certainly worth paying attention to. The best part? It’s shipping now in the [ Read More ]

What’s in a name these days? If we didn’t call this a UMPC or told you it can run Windows 7, it could just be a pretty huge clamshell smartphone. The freshly announced LifeBook UH900 sports a 5.6-inch “vivid glare screen,” (we’ll put that down to a bad translation), 3.5G wireless connectivity, and even goes [ Read More ]
We’re not sure anyone out there needs any more proof that the Nokia N900 is powerhouse, but just in case you still had doubts, check this video of a WebGL-enabled Firefox build smoothly rendering some complex 3D models on Espoo’s “internet tablet with phone capabilities.” It’s pretty impressive stuff, especially considering WebGL is still being [ Read More ]
Hardware construction is a funny thing. Sometimes, regardless of the money you throw at something, you just can’t get products to come together any quicker. Evidently that’s the case with Barnes & Noble’s Nook, which has seen its estimated ship date slip from today to sometime after the holidays, and now to January 11th. There’s [ Read More ]
Now here’s a good idea: a built-in GPS navigation system that’s actually priced to move. Co-developed with Bosch, Nissan has put together a $400 option with a 5-inch touhcscreen, Bluetooth support for phones, USB connectivity for media players, iPod integration, XM Satellite and NavTraffic.
