Nokia 5310 Knockoff KNC M-700 is a Confirmed Knockoff

  When we brought our readers news about a Nokia 5310 XpressMusic knock-off from KNC, we were censured for jumping the “cloning” gun on the Chinese manufacturer. Though the side buttons on the M-700 suspiciously look like a copy from the 5310, it doesn’t mean that KNC was deliberately ripping Nokia. But look at the comparison [...]

iPhone 3G Leak Photo a Hoax

  Gizmodo doesn’t say the photo of the shiny black rear of the iPhone 3G was a hoax, not exactly. What they said what it was mistaken for the iPhone 3G, which Engadget claims has a shiny and black rear. At any rate, even if the iPhone 3G had a black and shiny back, it wouldn’t [...]

Right now only about 9% of all PMPs and MP3s have Wi-Fi connectivity but iSuppli has a projection that claims Wi-Fi on a media device will be more sought after than touch screen or Bluetooth. It’s surprising to me that Bluetooth market penetration is very low, currently in less than 4% of MP3 players and [...]
