When most people hear the phrase ” landscape slider,” they think of a smartphone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. HTC is going to change that with the T8788 (not the final name, obviously). Running Windows Phone 7 this thing is packin’ a jumbo speaker that slides out (like a keyboard), so expect it to crank out some serious tunes using that gigantic speaker. Definitely one of the coolest leaked WP7 sets yet!

Revision3 was down for everyone last night - Epic 404 page »

As you may have heard, Revision3 was down last night and people were going absoloutley ballistic on Twitter because they couldn’t get their beloved weekly Diggnation fix. As of now (1:30AM EDT), Revision3 is still down, with no episodes of Diggnation in sight — in other news, their 404 page is completely amazing.

Sprinkle your Magic Trackpad with Colorware - sprinkles

Sprinkle your Magic Trackpad with Colorware - *sprinkles*

Setting: Checkout counter. Let’s see … It’ll be $75 for the Magic Trackpad and $70 more for the paintjob. Yeah, it’s the usually Colorware toll for brightening up electronics. Don’t expect anything too fancy as far as color schemes go though. You only get to ugly up the trackpad part and the body. The power button and battery cover are left an uncolored silver, which leads us to believe that the only ones crazy enough to buy this product would be those with Colorware iMacs. All one of them — Colorize your Magicpad, go go go!

Dell Aero Now On Sale for $100, still going strong with Android 1.5

C’mon Dell. Seriously? Android 1.5? We’re nearing the end of 2010 and Android 3.0 is coming! How can you expect people to want this phone of yours if it’s so obsolete already? Or is it AT&T’s fault? Limiting Android phones to make the iPhone stand out and preparing for Windows Phone 7. That itself is another possibility. Well, OS aside, specs are as follows: 3.5” 640 x 360 display, 5 megapixel camera, and 2 GB of internal memory plus microSD expansion. Did we mention the device is skinned? (Like that will help with upgrading the OS) At 3.67 oz, it is one of the lightest Android phones on the market today… Any takers? After all, it’s only signing away 2 years of your life to AT&T and a dead-end platform…

Facebook blocks Ads for Pot legalization »

Facebook blocks Ads for Pot legalization

“Proponents of marijuana legalization, which is on the California ballot in 2010, have hit a Facebook wall in their effort to grow an online campaign to rethink the nation’s pot laws.” — just recently, their ads were removed by Facebook. Facebook says that the ads “promoted smoking” but that isn’t going to stop the coming sh*t storm of online protesters. Barricade the office doors Facebook (and hide the pie/cookies)…

Samsung Galaxy Tab Teaser - Video

I can’t wait to see when this beast will be unleashed upon the world. The only thing that concerns me is that video calling. I so hope this isn’t locked to a specific carrier because that would dry up my wet dream of having one of these.

Some new color e-ink readers have Android inside »

Some new color e-ink readers have Android inside

“…Some are differentiating their readers by eschewing battery-friendly e-ink in favor of color LCD screens. These products take a more tablet-like approach and give users the advantage of a multifunction Internet-enabled device at nearly the same price point as regular e-book readers.” — Ars Technica
