Samsung's SCH-S250, the insane 5 megapixel cellphone By Ryan Block There’ve been many a mumbling about this going down, but Samsung’s finally thrown down, and what we’ve got to show for it is an unbelievable 5-megapixel cameraphone. We don’t have any details on it yet (or pictures, for that matter, except that turd to the right) but holy moly, what more do you need? It’s not like it’s going to come out here anyway.

Siemens' new Gigaset M740 AV By Ryan Block We’re not really used to the idea of Siemens producing set-top gear, but we’re certainly not going to argue against their new Gigaset M740 AV, a DVB-T (that would be Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial, which the fancy Euro way of saying broadcast digital TV) with dual tuners that can record and playback MPEG-2 broadcasts on network shares and attached USB drives. That’s right, no more set-top hard drive limitations cramping your style! Now if only we could get the FCC to hook us up with some serious digital terrestrial broadcasts, they’d be in business here; but until they do, expect the Siemens to stay safely overseas.

IEEE set to create standards for cellphone batteries By Ryan Block We’re kind of thinking it’s one of those cold-day-in-hell sort of things, but regardless the IEEE is beginning work on a standard for cellphone batteries called IEEE P1725, which would include specifications on making them uniform in design (among other things). Whereas this could only be a good thing for the consumer, the IEEE has no power over cellphone manufacturers and could hardly force the adoption of the standard, no matter how good it may be. So for now we’re expecting more of the same: crappy batteries with crappy life that require replacement in a couple of months. Thanks for trying, guys! Weblogs, Inc.

Interview With TiVo CEO Mike Ramsay In General Engadget has posted a great interview with TiVo's CEO Mike Ramsay. The only question that they forgot to ask was when TiVoToGo will be released. This is one question that a lot of people are asking. To be perfectly honest, at first I wasn't that excited about ... Comments Mon, Oct 18 2004 7:19 PM Email | Save
