Get ready, India’s $10 laptop is set for its first unveiling on February 3rd. Ok, so it’s not quite $10… $20 actually, but that’s far better than the $100 some were estimating. It’s also much better than the $200 per OLPC XO deal that Negroponte wanted to reportedly charge the Indian government more than 2 [...]

When we first heard about Ecobee’s Smart Thermostat last October, it claimed the device could recoup its $385 price tag within the first 12 to 18 months of use. Whether or not that’s the case, you can now find out for yourself. The WiFi-enabled home automation tool, complete with ZigBee expansion slots, is now [...]

You know who’s blabbing again? That reclusive set of business people who always seem to be “familiar with the matter,” that’s who. This time, they’ve got the Wall Street Journal in a twist over renewed rumors that Dell is “preparing a move into cellphones as early as next month.” Next month, is of course [...]

Philips’ groundbreaking Cinema 21:9 HDTV looked so curious when it launched a fortnight ago that we actually questioned its authenticity. Clearly, this beauty is for real.

Well, our interest was certainly piqued by that OLPC XO-2 mockup that surfaced yesterday, and now the Guardian is saying that the hardware development will take place open source. This is certainly fitting with the company’s idealistic ethos, and it’ll be interesting to see what other companies bring to the table as the reportedly $75 [...]

How would you like to pay about $40 for a gadget that makes you jump up and down like a six-year-old hopped up on Pixy Stix to play your Wii games? That’s the idea behind the jOG, an accelerometer that connects in-line between the Wiimote and the Nunchuck, making sure you’re not having any fun [...]

More spy shots from the net, eh? This latest set shows what’s purported to be the Propel Pro, an update to Samsung’s QWERTY that launched last October. There’s a more streamlined interface under the screen, including a new optical joystick that according to Boy Genius Report’s source is “worthless.” The Windows Mobile 6.1 device also [...]

Toshiba sure seems to love a quiet, conservative business laptop, and for good reason — the last thing you need in the offices of middle America is a sudden dash of color causing a “wig out” as bad as anything you’d experience on a tab of Beige Sunshine. Certainly not bucking this trend, ol’ Tosh [...]
