Maxx Digital PDVD Clones PSP… sort of

The Maxx Digital PDV-8500BLK may strike a lot of people as Sony PSP iteration. In fact, if I’m passing by a display window with one of these things, I’d definitely stop and stare.

Unlocked 3G iPhone Sold on Negri Electronics… Also Locked Ones (Probably) at BestBuy and RadioShack

We’ve heard about Negri Electronics before and their penchant for, er, exaggeration. Their over-excited online retailing techniques aside, they can be relied upon to keep an eye on the most interesting releases. It comes as no surprise to me that besides the 3G iPhone, Negri also has in stock the BlackBerry Bold, HTC Touch Diamond [...]
