While it may not be the first time we’ve come across such a concept, this PoP Video add-on is certainly quite different than, say, WooWee’s Cinemin Swivel — and significantly cheaper, too. The PoP Video pairs up with iPod touches (3rd / 4th generation) and iPhones via Apple’s proprietary 30-pin connector, essentially turning your device into an unorthodox pico projector . According to PoP’s site, the 3.5 ounce peripheral’s capable of 960 x 540 video output and can give you up to two…

If driving up to a campsite and setting up a tent is too much “roughing it” to endure, this tent/truck chimera is just what you need to enjoy the great outdoors without sacrificing the amenities of a cabin.

Razer looks to be the latest getting into the Diablo III -themed peripheral game with a special version of the Naga Hex , even if it won’t mention the click-and-slash title by name. The Wraith Red edition keeps the same six mechanically-driven side buttons as the original, but drapes the top shell and lights in an infernal red. It’s otherwise functionally similar to the Razer-green Naga Hex we had mixed feelings about last month. Gamers who like what it offers don’t have to wait for…

As more and more traffic moves from the desktop to mobile devices, malware has closely followed it. Now, an Internet security firm has discovered the first websites designed specifically to infect Android devices that visit the page with malware.

If you’re a smartphone fan (of course you are, if you’re not then you’re almost certainly in the wrong place, can we ask how you even got here?) then you’ve almost certainly been bitten by the bug of a battery that just doesn’t last long enough, the normal side effect of a data hungry lifestyle. HTC says it feels your pain however, and thinks it’s done quite a bit to lick the issue with its latest flagship phone, the HTC One X . In reports consistent with our experience with the…

If you’re still in the quest for that perfect Mother’s Day gift, E Fun believes you should have to look no further than its recently announced Next 7S tablet. The outfit isn’t a newcomer to budget-friendly territory, and it’s keeping the trend rolling by pricing its latest 7-inch slate at a mere $129.99. That small amount of cash will get you an 800 x 480 display, a 1GHz single-core processor, 4GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD) and, more importantly, a serving of Android…

It’s difficult to think of an upside to relinquishing your personal data—your privacy, really—to the prying eyes of the internet. But over at the Atlantic , Brian Fung makes a solid case for why data-mining might actually be doing a world of good behind the scenes.

The high end edition of LG’s new L-Style Optimus line is ready to roll, as the company announced the Optimus L7 is available in various “major” European and Asian locales. In case it’s been forgotten in the midst of its fellow L-branded smartphones like the L3 that launched in March , the L7 is an Android 4.0 handset with a 4.3-inch screen and 8.7mm-thick frame. Check out our hands on impressions from MWC for more info, or just look for it to appear on your carrier sooner rather than…

The Express Rail Link West Kowloon Terminus, when completed (sometime in 2015), will be the world’s largest underground high-speed rail station, occupying a whopping 4,628,481sq/ft! Its surreal modern design is the work of international architectural studio Aedes , who with it demonstrate the interconnectedness of architecture and technology.

Vonage may have raked in $216 million in revenue, netting itself $14 million in profit, but things still seem to be heading in the wrong direction for the company. We’re not even talking about the sharp decrease in net income — the $350 million made in the last quarter was thanks in large part to a one-time tax benefit. Revenue remained flat sequentially at $216 million, but was down slightly from the same time last year. What’s more, churn had increased from Q4 and, despite signing up 165,000 new…

Last year saw not one but two record-breaking art sales—Cindy Sherman’s Untitled #96 ($3.89 million) and Andreas Gursky’s Rhein II ($4.3 million). Both paltry sums given the amount that Sotheby’s just sold Edvard Munch’s masterpiece for.

Swapping ammo types at the press of a button has been a feature of FPS games for years but has never actually made it into real combat. But the US Army thinks that with recent advances in computerized high-speed sorting, flipping between warheads could become nearly automatic.

Lenovo announced a slew of notebooks back at CES in January, so you’ll be forgiven if the ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 don’t ring a bell. Those names are about to hit closer to home, though, because both models are finally on sale in the US and Asia with a base price of $459. To jog your memory, the 14-inch Edge E430 and 15-inch E530 run Intel Core i3-2350M Sandy Bridge CPUs clocked at 2.3GHz and feature 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drives, Intel HD Graphics and a 1366 x 768 displays. Of course, Lenovo…

Just in case June wasn’t busy enough for mobile app developers, between Apple’s WWDC and Google I/O , Microsoft has thrown its hat into the ring. It’s scheduling a Windows Phone Developer Summit in San Francisco for June 20th and 21st, just a week before Google’s meetup. Details are scant in the notice Engadget received, although Microsoft teases us with the prospects of learning “developer opportunities and platform capabilities in Windows Phone.” Whether that means Apollo or just…

Samsung’s latest Series 9 Ultrabook is certainly a beautiful piece of engineering, but really, what’s the fun in purchasing a new laptop with yesterday’s internals? Fortunately, users won’t need to make that compromise, as the company has now outed a refreshed version of the computer that’s complete with Ivy Bridge internals. The move follows Samsung’s recent reveal of the Series 7 Gamer laptop, but as you’d expect, components in the Series 9 are geared more toward efficiency…

There are a lot of lazy ways I’ll avoid dealing with one gadget problem or another: I stream all my TV shows through my iPad, because I can’t get around to setting up the 17″ Sony that’s been boxed up in my closet since I moved apartments last summer. When one lamp stops working—and I don’t mean the bulb goes out, I mean there is something wrong with the lamp itself, a chronic situation I’ll save for another post—I’ll put off seeking repair and make do with a dim desk…
