The new touchscreen smartphone from Palm, even with all its charms (it’s the best mobile at CES 2009, says right there on the poster), aren’t selling in Canada. The Palm Pre is now only $99.95 Canadian from $149.95 a few weeks ago (CAD is only slightly lower than USD). Another price cut within weeks of [...]

We don’t have much information of this Palm Pre clone. The hardware is pretty close to the original Palm Pre, even though we thought Palm Pre would give Chinese cloners a lot of trouble. It also slides out at the bottom to reveal a Palm Pre-like QWERTY, but, don’t worry, it also has a virtual [...]

It’s not every day we come across a dual-camera iPhone clone. It’s even more rare to come across an iPhone clone with a camera flash. In fact, WPhone may be the first iPhone clone in a long time that got me excited. Given that it has a touchscreen, dual-SIM, WiFi and an analog TV built-in [...]

The name is short for “somatic sensation,” which doesn’t mean much more than “touch.” The design though brings touch not just to mean the touchscreen but the entire PMP as well. The material is customizable (see image after the break) for this 3.5-inch player. There’s a second analog LCD displaying buttons and and below are [...]

We thought we’d never see another new portable media player with an analog display but here it is and it comes straight from China - where else. The I200 is only 6.5mm thin and supports MP3, WMA, WAV and FLAC, APE lossless. It has a mic, which can be used to record audio and works [...]

Pandora is both a UMPC and and a gamer. It’s got a QWERTY keypad and gaming buttons similar to your SNES console. Don’t be fooled by how these buttons are arranged. If you noticed the coins put in front of the device for size comparison, the Pandora is an tiny little beast. The Pandora is [...]

We’ve seen watch phones or phonewatches getting dropped by unknown manufacturers and blown away like leaves in autumn, but the G108 from a Chinese manufacturer has the looks of a success. Word is practicality. The G108 uses an analog display at the face as the only watch component. The face can be flipped open revealing [...]

This “media box” from Yiwu Haofeng code-named HKA-6501C is a DivX, DVD-playing recycled-looking PMP that also supports playback for such esoteric formats like MP4 (AVI) and HDCD or High Definition Compatible Digital, which is a Microsoft proprietary format that offers backwards compatibility with old CDs. If this is not news to you, it definitely [...]

Mustek has released some very interesting convergence-minded devices in the past with. The DV300t qualifies as one (the makers are calling it a 6-in-1) but only in the superficial aesthetic sense. The 3.1 megapixel camera has no optical zoom. This is an interpolated resolution from a VGA CMOS lens that captures near-NTSC or PAL [...]

The Ainol T20 has the familiar looks we all come to love in Chinese Apple imitators, in which Ainol made significant contributions. The T20 has a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, which is navigated via tactile buttons (sorry) on the side. The retractable analog TV antenna is pretty cool, tough, even for a touchless iPod Touch [...]
