The Looxcie is personally one of my favorite products from 2010.  It is a bluetooth headset that also records video.   This is not the high definition incredible clarity video – not in the least.  The choices are a resolution of 240 or 480.  Shooting in 240 allows you to continuously shoot...

So you’re going on camping trip, which is something I don’t imagine most tech junkies do very often but yeah, imagine. You got your check list*. Tent, check! Sleeping bag, check! Bug repellent, check! Powerpacked Android, check! Charger, check! You’re well on your way, good job. Only...

Another Samsung with froyo, the hard way, way to stick it to the man. While’s it’s been available for a little while now, I figured maybe it needed some recognition. At this time it’s stable, and everything’s working. It comes with ADW Launcher v1.3.3 pre-installed, as well as...

Another MWC debut, a smart-tablet? Sporting a 21:9 aspect ratio, 4.8″ display with 1024×480 resolution. This device is certainly big. Is it a tablet having an identity crisis? Well let’s look at other specs: Android 2.3 Gingerbread 1GHz Snapdragon processor 8MP camera with 720p video...

Not a surprise but maybe refreshing. Samsung has debuted it’s successor to the Galaxy S today at MWC 2011, the new Galaxy S II . Samsung claims that it is the “the world’s thinnest smartphone” at a mere 8.49mm thick. Whether true or not, it certainly doesn’t have the world’s...

What would you look like as an Android? Can’t really say that thought has ever occurred to me, but now that there’s a way to do it I am a bit curious. The Androidify app allows you to take that little green Android we all love and customize it to look like you, your friends, or family. You...

  Playing along with the new “minimal” everything craze, we have another addition, and for once it’s not a clock, a calendar, or weather display.  Minimal RSS Feeder is explained with just the title, it is what it says, and it works well. After playing with the widget for a little...
