Ask Engadget: Best PMP with GPS and WiFi for in-car use?
I'm looking for a 5-inch touchscreen PMP or MID to effectively replace my car stereo. My ideal setup is to plug this PMP into a dock and run the audio through the aux-in of my car. I want something I can easily take out of the car -- preferably with WiFi and GPS. I already have an iPhone, but I want som...

分类: 移动电话, 定位产品, 便携音像, 便携视频 一如先前消息， 现在不论是 iPod touch 或是没 GPS 模块的一代 iPhone，都可以下载安装 TomTom 的导航软件，不过想要有导航、turn by turn 功能，仍旧要购买 TomTom 家的 iPhone 车用外挂；至于图资的部分，香港版、新加坡版的已经上线了（还是说早就上线了？），前者售价 49.99 美元，后者则是跟马来西亚版同捆，售价 59.99 美元，细节请参考引用来源。（iTunes Store 连接） Thanks, Scott M] 原文连接]
Altec Lansing inMotion Classic iMT620 iPhone stereo review
We've been playing with the Altec Lansing inMotion Classic iMT620 for a few days now, and before you think "man, not another iPhone stereo dock," look again. It was (mostly) love at first sight when we spotted this mini boombox -- sharp corners and minimalism are what Altec Lansing does bes...
Olive 4HD makes the audiophile's music server more audiophilic
Yeah, so we made that word up -- what of it? Olive's decidedly pricey Opus No. 4 is receiving an update today, and while you'll easily recognize the looks, this new slab will be called by its new name: 4HD. According to the company, this 2TB music server now features 24-bit sound and a 192kHz sam...
Wireless Dynamics brings the joys of inventory management to the iPhone with the iCarte RFID reader
You know, that pallet of overpriced skin cream isn't going to stock itself. Maybe if you'd stop playing Bingo Bonanza you'd have done that already. Oh, you say you're scanning their RFIDs to add them to our system? Whatever, you're fired." It's a scenario we see playing itself out at warehous...
TomTom updated to support iPod touch and original iPhone
Back in much simpler times, TomTom's navigation app had claimed compatibility with all iPhone and iPod touch models. Then suddenly, somewhere along the primrose path to publication, original iPhone and iPod touch support evaporated. But no more. TomTom's pushed an update that allows fo...
TomTom updated to support iPod touch and original iPhone
Thanks, Scott M] Update: So, the Car Kit for iPod touch has hit TomTom's e-store, and it's $20 cheaper than the Car Kit for iPhone due to the lack of handsfree support (we guess, anyway). Thanks, Philippe!Filed under: Cellphones, GPS

Dual Electronics XML8110 in-dash iPhone dock announced

Google-branded phone coming early next year?
We've been hearing talk of thoroughly Google-branded phones since before Android was announced -- and if you want to get really technical about it, you could argue that it's already happened twice in the form of the Dev Phone 1 and the Ion. Thing is, those are strictly developer-oriented o...
走极简操作路线的 iPhone 双足机器人控制平台 (5 回應)
最近日本庆应大学一个由研究生所组成的团队，则是拿 iPhone / iPod touch 来解决这个问题，仅透过 iPhone 多点触控屏幕上几个简单的指令输入，一如手指轻滑、点击、按压等，再配合加速感应器的使用，来简化操作者针对双足机器人操作所需输入的指令内容。 而那一票的『指』令输入，也都跟机器人的动作息息相关，一改过去颇不直觉的按钮输入，而是利用双指来模拟行走、踢球等动作；跳转后有实际操作影片一枚！ 出自 HDBlog.it] 继续阅读全文 走极简操作路线的 iPhone 双足机器人控制平台
O2 UK gradually rolls out iPhone unlock, forgot to give us the instructions

iPhone 'home' button earrings are for serious fangirls (and guys) only
We've seen plenty of phone-inspired earrings -- it's a multitasking age, after all, so it's not really a surprise to see gadgets inspire jewelery. It is kind of surprising to behold these earrings, however, which appear to have been made with iPhone 'home' buttons. What, there are so many d...
Nokia N900 quick hands-on
We've finally had a chance to play around at length with a very late pre-production version of Nokia's N900 (retail units are already shipping, but not to our neck of the woods just yet) and we wanted to scribble out a few notes for you before taking delivery of a final build for a full review h...
OnLive demonstrates iPhone app, set to redefine mobile gaming?

水果专利之忘了初衷？苹果要把触控笔拿出来了吗！？ (1 回應)

AT&T responds to Verizon's 3G ad campaign -- by bragging about EDGE
With both 3G and EDGE coverage, customers can access the Internet, send e-mail, surf the Web, stream music, download videos, send photos, text, talk and more. The only difference - with some data applications, 3G is faster than EDGE. Right, right -- the only difference. That must be why Appl...

TomTom to bring free lane guidance, text-to-speech, iPod control to iPhone GPS app
TomTom's probably still dizzy from the hit that Google laid on it just a few days ago, but it has somehow managed to get its bearings long enough to announce that a slew of gratis updates are incoming for its highly-hyped iPhone navigation app. Following in Navigon's footsteps, the outfit h...
