When they say compact….they mean it. The 808i (as displayed after the jump as a pendant for a necklace) is the mini-me of mobiles. While its not the thinnest thing you’ve ever seen, it’s definitely a compact little thing. It’s actually a breath of fresh air to see a phone that doesn’t look like it will break from the power ...

Elegance with a touchscreen: the LG KE850
First thing that comes to mind when first glancing at the amazing LG KE850? iRiver S10. Not because of size or functionality, but because of the beautiful design that the two devices share. Both have only a screen (save for buttons on the sides), both have a glassed-over black smoothness, and both attract fingerprints like the backside of your iPod. ...

The Xun Chi 138, being touted as the “world’s smallest cellphone”, is small enough to fit in the fifth pocket of your jeans, and still manages to squeeze in a “1.3 Mega Plixs” (sic) camera, a touchscreen with handwriting recognition, music playing, and other multimedia functions. The touchscreen is actually a necessity, as the phone is far too small to ...
Read More »This shirt loves you!
Well, not really. It does, however, let you know someone else loves you, by squeezing various parts of your arms and torso in response to a message sent via cellphone. Of course, it requires a Bluetooth-enabled cellphone and special ‘Hug Me’ Java-based software, but all that is a small price to pay for getting hugs from far-away loved ones. The ...

Most electronic companies would shudder at the thought of putting a clunky QWERTY keyboard onto one of their productive and sleek smart-phones, pompous jerks. But with the first details (well actually rumors) coming in about HTC’s Vox is that it will come sporting a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which from the pictures, actually looks to be a nice little addition, ...

Motorola has just released its PDA cellphone, the MOTO ROKR E6. Unfortunately, it’s only available in China, hopefully we’ll see it here sometime soon. This baby looks pretty sweet with its 2.4” 262k color touchscreen TFT display and its reasonable thickness of 14.5mm. The laser blue accented navigation outline still impresses. The E6 also has a 2 megapixel digital camera ...

At an incredibly anorexic size of 1.5mm, the boys (and ladies, perhaps?) over at Panasonic can now say they have produced the thinnest speaker of all time. Now, the bragging ensues, huzzah! Panasonic has slimmed down their previous model, which was a staggering 2.5mm, a 40% decrease. Come on guys, couldn’t squeeze one more tenth of a millimeter out? With ...

One thing I’ve learned from watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through my childhood, was the phrase “if you have it, flaunt it”. Much like Carlton and his crazy swiveling hip dance, the Pantech IM-R110 (another Korean made mobile) adds a crazy swivel screen to it’s crazy t-shaped body. Along with it’s love it or hate it design, comes the ...

It shouldn’t, and Rose has some credentials as well. Kevin predicted the nano launch in 2005 and now is calling out Apple to release the iPhone in January. Kevin states some obvious facts ...
