Filed under: Gaming, Handhelds It's not like Sony could really keep this thing under wraps for much longer, but the company finally did the deed by announcing the PSP-3000 at the Leipzig Games Convention. The unit itself will look exactly like the PSP-2000, though it will feature an "improved screen that's better outside with no glare and a built-in mic." The juicy tidbits have yet to surface, but we are told to expect the new ...

The pad features a "touchpad mode" for mouse input, and can be paired with phones and other gadgets via Bluetooth. No ...

That's right: Palm has gone and gotten all official with its latest and greatest smartphone, the now-familiar Treo Pro. The new Windows Mobile device is being sold unlocked (!), and features an HSDPA cell radio (tri-band UMTS, quad-band GSM), GPS, ...

Filed under: Cellphones Now that the Treo Pro's been uncovered, the sleek black handset just can't stay out of the spotlight -- it's popped up today in several more high-res shots, a quick hands-on video, and even what looks like official press photography. Specs are still up in the air -- we're hearing there's a 400MHz processor and 128MB of RAM behind that 320 x 320 screen and original Xbox-looking exterior, but we won't know ...

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video So Archos still seems to be struggling a bit matching the design curve of the industry, but boy oh boy can they pile on those specs. The new Archos 5 and Archos 7 "generation 6" players offer capacities as high as 320GB, well-res'd screens and just about every codec we'd ever need -- plus available plug-ins to cover the rest. But that's not even the exciting part. The Archos ...

Filed under: 携帯電話 HTCのAndroid携帯としてたびたび噂されてきた「Dream」の名を持つ端末がはじめて公式に姿を現しました。リンク先Wi-Fi アラインアンスの相互運用性認証に記されている製品は「DREA100シリーズ」、モデル名「DREAM」。まだ「iPhoneに対抗するGoogleフォン」の時代からうわさになっていたDreamはGoogle内部の開発とOHA参加企業へのプレゼンに使われてきたHTC製のプロトタイプ端末であるとされてきましたが、アンディ・ルービンの趣味(「アンドロイドと来れば夢」)で付けたコードネームだけではなく実際の製品名にも受け継がれるようです。現時点で伝わっているHTC Dreamの仕様はAndroidのデモ動画でも登場する「ジョグボール」(トラックボール)、802.11b/g WiFi、Bluetooth 2.0+EDR、GSM 850/1900とWCDMA1700サポートなど。NY Timesの報道では米国のT-Mobile向けに9月発表・10月発売とされるAndroid携帯ですが、WCDMA 1700バンドは米国でT-Mobileが使っている帯域。アップル単独のiPhoneに対してオープン規格で携帯キャリア・端末メーカー・ソフトウェア開発者を取り込もうとするアンドロイドもいよいよデビューが近づいているようです。(ただしAndroidは特定のハードウェアに依存しないため、この「Dream」も必ずしもAndroidバージョン(だけ)で登場するとはかぎりません。念のため)。続きは「DREA100」のラベルとAndroidのデモ動画。Read - HTC "DREA100" / DREAM Wi-Fi Certification (※PDF注意)Continue reading HTC DreamがWi-Fi認証を取得、Android携帯へ秒読み？Permalink | Email this | Comments
