Remember the photo above from Engadget? Click that link for more of them. Well – there’s now a VERY good chance that it could be an early prototype of the third Internet Tablet. A new document was made available this morning with this little tidbit:
The above image was taken from page 6 of this PDF. Note the two tables are labeled “slide open” and “slide closed.”

Here is a video made by some creative individual that was clearly frustrated with the antics of Apple … it is very entertaining!
Thank you to all of the "misfits" and "crazy ones" who have worked to improve the iPhone! Please keep on "changing things"!

Let the misfits and crazy ones improve the iPhone and improve the world!

Wow, a keen-looking pair of dual-purpose headphones for review, and a Motorola branded one, as well.
The MotoRokr S9 Stereo BT hands-free headset
Upon unboxing these headphones (see Chris’s unboxing or Radimus’s unboxing), my first impression was that they looked pretty good, and that they were quite light. That’s always important for something you are potentially going to be wearing for hours...

Yesterday I posted this article on Sony and Verizon …. The "Teaser Web Pages. It seems to be the new trend to entice people to go look, anticipate, guess and develop a little device envy. Well it appears as if the Verizon page has been "outed" with an exclusive scoop from Engadget Mobile. Heck, I even think that when the page is "officially" updated that they ought to...

All I know is that’s something that HP is preparing. It’s a game that use GPS and a machine, a powerful machine judging the graphics on it. is it a UMPC or a MID? I don’t know.

There are certainly a lot of devices scheduled for launch and this is one that looks like it might well grab the attention of quite a few folks .. maybe even a few disgruntled iPhone owners.
Formally referenced with the codename "Nike," the HTC Touch Slide has a lot to offer in a neat little package. Featuring a slide-out keyboard and a 3G radio, it has WiFi, 128MB RAM and 256MB of Flash. ...

You have all heard it, the newly released firmware 1.1.1 for the iPhone is out and gives you a cool wireless iTunes store but it also has locked down the ability to use third party applications after the iPhone update. It’s sad, very sad that Apple, in their infinite knowledge of knowing what is best for the consumer, would take away that one aspect that could propel this device into greatness.

Hello. Please excuse a few formatting issues and problems you might experience over the next few days. I am working on a new look for Mobility Site’s news section that offers a more modern look with better access to features, reviews, etc.
I thought I had it all worked out on my test site so I decided to take it live tonight. Well, I missed quite a few little things. I could take it down and return to the old,...
So we have a couple of teaser web pages out there to get your "device envy" juices running.
Electronista let us know that Sony had a site up teasing us with Drive image. The secretive website is teasing users with an upcoming device, according to a new discovery. Known only as the Drive, the device does not have any clear purpose ….
There is a lot of speculation that it might be an all-in-one computer...

Where O Where is my package? I have been waiting on a package for a while. Realizing that my order from the Apple Store had not arrived yet, I decided to check the shipping number on the Fed Ex website. You’ll never guess what I found. Well, you won’t have to guess, I’ll show you.
Ugh, a package sitting in Atlanta, just 3.5 hours from my house, for 6 days? UNACCEPTABLE! I was told to wait for a call...

We just caught sight of three new Asus laptops, but it looks like that’s not all the company has up its sleeve, with its ultra-portable U1E model now also making its first appearance. This one boasts an even smaller form factor than the company’s just-announced 12.1-inch, 3.3 pound U6S laptop, in this case shrinking things down to an 11.1-inch WXGA display and a mere 2.2 pound carrying weight...
