It’s out of stock, due to miscalculation. Wow. When Barnes & Noble announced its e-reader Nook, we were led to believe that it was going to rival the Amazon Kindle. Well, it was certainly a success in its first outing, but then B & N dropped the ball and couldn’t produce enough Nooks for everyone [...]

We never thought we could get one this cheap. The Meizu M8 for only 199 euros? The original iPhone clone and erstwhile iPhone killer for only $295 unlocked. Why, that’s at least $100 cheaper than the original price. This is the same 3.2-inch touchscreen phone with a 720 x 480 screen resolution. The same Meizu [...]

This is not the thinnest PMP we’ve featured but it’s pretty thin for a 720p player, especially if it functions well, and it looks like it would. The 3-inch LCD screen has a 400 x 240, not nearly good enough for 720p but you can connect it to a bigger screen with TV out. If [...]

One would expect more ambition from a prolific manufacturer of computer monitors would be more ambitious about their portable media player. But then again, maybe this is to be expected from such a company. The VPD400 MovieBookis your basic non-touchscreen PMP. The 4.3-inch LCD display should be any less reliable than ViewSonic LCD monitors. There’s [...]

Bloomberg is reporting that the Motorola Droid didn’t do too badly during its launching weekend. The “iPhone killer” with Android 2.0 OS and real GPS and turn-by-turn voice navigation may have sold as many as 100,000 units.

All i can say is Wow. Droiddoes beat the iPhone in Navigation. Droiddoes beat the iPhone in Google apps and Droiddoes in manliness… err, well, you know what I mean.

Even though many critics and tech journalists (us included) think the Droid has what it takes (and more) to kill the iPhone, consumers do not quite agree.
