As we watch Apple's shining rep for flawless gadgets out of the box slowly go down the tubes, another bug has been spotted. The reports involve an
iPod Classic update, 1.0.2, and a bug that's going to be a significantly bigger problem than the glitchy, laggy, freezing iPods that users have been dealing with up to this point.
This time around,
the update has been spotted to cause the iPod's drive to spin constantly.[Read the rest of this post]October 15, 2007 by Lauren
Not that I condone the purchase of Zunes-- I don't -- but it's worth a mention that the Zune is actually putting up a fight and holding its own in one field in comparison to the iPod. Even more surprising, it's a field that does matter; the ever-important area of
battery life.
For the specs on the new Zunes, you'll get 30 hours of audio and 4 hours of video with the Zune 30.

Though its name is slightly misleading, the
iPod Classic boasts some handy features not to be found in past iPod generations. While the hardware of these models isn't exactly the same, it is similar, and it is entirely possible to run the newer features on the iPod 5 and 5.5. Still, Apple hasn't taken such action, nor do they plan to. So boys and girls, where do we look when Apple won't throw us a bone? Hackers, of course!
It's true, Apple and hackers really do go hand in hand.

You've seen it in the movies, and now it's here:
a wearable monitor in the form of uber-cool glasses. True, it isn't actually the first of it's kind. However, this is still a limited edition optical device brought to you by Scalar.
In the line of specs, this Teleglass T4-N wearable monitor weighs around 30 grams and features titanium frames to give you that extra special, sci-fi look.

Okay, so the iPhone isn't 100% back to itself, but it's progress since the last update announcing an
all-but-bricked phone. When I said it would be war between hackers and Apple, I meant it.
If you missed it or just don't feel like going back to the article linked above, Apple has released the dreaded
firmware updates we've been reluctantly anticipating; this means overriding all hacks/unlocks and bricking the iPhone.

I have to say, when I first laid eyes on this I didn't think it was a DVD player. That's probably one of it's coolest features, though. I'm talking about a
transformer-reminiscent PDP (portable DVD player) that focuses mostly on design.
It appears to be ultra portable, though it doesn't seem like it'd fit in the average pocket either. Nonetheless, it's slim and cuts corners by nixing the screen.

Remember when I told you guys there'd be an up-and-coming
miniature projector for cell phones? Well thanks to our friends at
Gizmodo, we've got our hands on the...
hands-on. No pun intended. Really.
Just like any other projector, we were promised the technology to display presentations, movies, or anything else we could think of onto surfaces from our mobile phones.

You've all probably forgotten about
mobile internet devices as of late, but I'm here to bring that back for you. There isn't a whole lot of information known about this little gadget, especially from the video below, but it certainly has at least one interesting feature.
The gadget of which I speak is
BenQ's MID. This baby is a decent sized handheld sporting a black and blue color scheme.

Could office chair jumping be the next big thing? Unlikely, but the videos pretty cool.

The Slickr is a spiffy device that seems to look like an iPhone Nano, if there was such a thing. We've seen rumors, but there hasn't been any public development concerning that and as far as I know, they're still just working on the iPhone itself. Something else we've seen is our fair share of PMPs. The Slickr is cool, or just really unoriginal, because it's the best of both worlds.
The first thing to be observed with the Slickr, despite its stunning aesthetic appeal, is that it has no touch screen capabilities.
