toshiba dynabook tx
Ah industry firsts, a chance to grab the spotlight before the world grabs hold of your coattails. Toshiba’s Dynabook TX/98MBL claims to be the industry’s first laptop to play back 3D content in Blu-ray format when it ships at the end of July in Japan. The 15.6-inch laptop with LED backlit 120Hz panel (60Hz to each eye when viewed through active shutter glasses) pushing 1,366 x 768 pixels utilizes WinDVD BD to playback the Blu-ray 3D format with some help from NVIDIA’s 3D Vision software and GeForce GTS 350M hardware with 1GB of dedicate video RAM.

droid xtreme
The pics you see here of the alleged Motorola Xtreme show a slate style Android device with no slide-out keyboard to be seen. Previous spy pics of the Shadow indicated that it might have a QWERTY keyboard. Turns out, though, those previous rumors may have missed the mark.

It means that what we’re looking at here is either the Shadow or the Xtreme.

Sanyo’s PR claims this camera is the “world’s first waterproof full HD camera,” but unfortunately for them Kodak beat them to the punch. A caveat at the bottom of the PR clarifies that this claim was merely meant for “Full HD video cameras for consumer use with optical zoom lenses,” which naturally makes everything better.

We don’t say this very often, but some products are just worth the wait. And well, the ExoPC Slate looks like it’s going to be one of those very products. After months of following along, we finally got to spend some quality time with the 11.6-inch slate at Computex, and came away surprisingly impressed. Read on after the break for our impressions of this Windows 7 tablet, what that funky UI is all about, and a video of the Slate in action. Oh, and after you’ve done all that, don’t forget to feast your eyes on the gallery below. Read the rest of this entry »

How desperate are you to get Netflix running on your iPhone? Desperate enough to jailbreak, grab frameworks from your iPad, and do some plist hacking? If the answer to those questions is “yes,” then the folks at ModMyi have something they’d like to show you. Read the rest of this entry »
skype
there’s a 2.0 version of the app for iPhone that brings voice calls over 3G at last. Mobile iPhone calls are free until August, after which you’ll need a “mobile subscription.” We’re testing out the app as we write this and it seems to work about as well any other 3G VoIP app we’ve tried: passable, not revolutionary.
Skype has just released software version 2.0.0 for Apple’s iPhone via an App Store update. Improvements listed for the new version include: Read the rest of this entry »
Motorola Shadow and DROID 2 appear in Verizon inventory
The BlackBerry Bold 9650 coming to Verizon, the LG Gossip heading to Fido, and possible iPad data plans hitting up Fido as well. All came to us via the typical Mr. Blurrycam shots… and this one is no different.
Via Droidlife, we now have leaked shots from within Verizon (NYSE: VZ)’s inventory system. Shots that show the Motorola Shadow and Droid 2 for all to see. Looks like Verizon is going to have much more Android love to share with us over the next little while. Guess Motorola (NYSE: MOT) co-CEO Sanjay Jha was telling the truth.
