T-Mobile myTouch 3G Gets Official, Preorders Start July 8

Posted in: Android, Google, t-mobile, TMobile, Today's Chili, top

T-Mobile’s second Android phone, the myTouch 3G (previously known as the HTC Magic which we reviewed here), has finally been announced in an official capacity for $200. Its official official name is the “T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google”.

It’s basically the same specs as we’ve seen in other incarnations, and it’ll work with T-Mobile’s 3G frequencies. We’ll take a look at what customizations T-Mobile has put on the phone, but for a general idea of what to expect of this one over the original T-Mobile G1, take a look at our review of the Google Ion.

Olympus E-P1 now available for pre-order

Posted in: camera, digital camera, DigitalCamera, dslr, micro four thirds, MicroFourThirds, olympus, Today's Chili

You might’ve noticed this already, but for those out there who share our lust for Olympus’ E-P1 “digital Pen,” but haven’t done too much digging, consider this a public service announcement. The retro-chich micro four thirds camera is now available for pre-order from a handful of online retailers, with several different packages to choose from based with various body color (silver or white) and lens color (silver or black) combinations. Looks like it’ll still cost you about $750 if you want body only, but really, at this point we don’t know why you wouldn’t pay an additional Ulysses S. Grant and grab a lens with it. Ready to smash that E-P1 piggy bank a bit early? You’ve got plenty of retailers willing to help you out there, but don’t feel too pressured, there’s still a little bit of time to decide before the July launch.

Stealth’s WPC-500F waterproof SFF PC makes a splash

Posted in: Today's Chili, waterproof

Sure, we give you the usual list of specs for Stealth‘s newest small form factor PC, the WPC-500F — which, frankly, isn’t any different than your garden variety netbook — but if you ask us, its most noteworthy feature is the ability to pour water on it all day without worrying about it fizzling out. Orders for the waterproof / water resistant machine are now being accepted, with prices starting at $1,995 and shipments going out in early July. If you really must know all the technical details, it’s got a 1.6GHz Intel Atom 330, integrated graphics, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD with options for SSD, no optical bay, no WiFi, and Windows XP. However, we think it’ll more fun to just send you past the break and watch the borderline sadomasochistic video demonstration.

Hide Spam Counter In Gmail

Posted in: Google, Today's Chili


This article was written on July 30, 2006 by CyberNet.

Spam
Rarely ever does my spam filter in Gmail catch something it shouldn’t. And vice versa, rarely does it ever let spam slip through the cracks. I typically don’t even have to worry about opening the folder to double check. The Spam folder really does its own thing, and does a pretty good job at it. If you’re receiving a lot of spam messages and don’t really care to see the insane amount of spam Gmail is catching for you, there’s an easy way to hide the spam counter.

Here’s what to do:
Create a new filter with the following details:
Has the words: is:spam
Check “Delete it”.
Check “Also apply filter to conversations below”

It’s a pretty simple solution. All of the spam messages you receive will automatically be moved to the trash.

Meizu CEO: current M8 upgradeable to 3G, estimated cost about $190 to $220

Posted in: chinese, Today's Chili, upgrade

We know, we know, it’s gonna be awfully hard to part with the comfort of your current beloved Meizu M8, but trust us, change can be good. We’ve already heard reports of an Android-centric UI refresh, and now company CEO J. Wong has chimed in to outline a tentative upgrade plan for the upcoming M8 3G. Current users of the eerily familiar 8GB / 16GB device will need to pay approximately 1,300 RMB to 1,500 RMB (translation: about $190 to $200 US) for next year’s model. Oddly enough, despite these estimates, he’s not confirming any market selling price. Wong also adds the screen size has been expanded from the initially planned 3.54 inches diagonal to 3.6, with same 720 x 480 resolution. Keep saving your pennies, last we heard launch date was still (lightly) penciled in for March 2010.

HTC Hero approved by Global Certification Forum, rocking GSM and HSPA

Posted in: Android, hero, HTC, rumor, rumors, Today's Chili

We’re unfortunately light on details here, but The Unwired is reporting that HTC’s Hero has been approved by the Global Certification Forum, listed here as “HERO100,” with support for quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dualband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 1800/2100 MHz. With the company’s touted London event just around the corner — this Wednesday, to be exact — we wouldn’t be surprised to see the phone and its oft-rumored “Rosie” Android UI take center stage, in possibly two variations. Other than frequency bands and the associative name, the GCF isn’t giving us anything else to work with, so for now just sit back and hope this uncertainty is cleared up sooner rather than later.

Apple Giving $30 iTunes Credit For iPhone 3GS Activation Snafu

Posted in: Apple, cellphones, Phones, Today's Chili, top

Following iPhone 3GS/AT&T activation delays that were in some cases 48 hours long, Apple has allegedly responded with a $30 “We’re sorry” gift that will be good at the iTunes Store on Monday.

Notification came by way of an email, which we’ve seen from Giz readers as well as around the Net this weekend:

Dear Apple Customer,

Thank you for your recent Apple Store order. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delay in your iPhone activation.

We are still resolving the issue that was encountered while activating your iPhone with AT&T. Unfortunately, due to system issues and continued high activation volumes, this could take us up to an additional 48 hours to complete.

On Monday, you’ll receive an email from Apple with an iTunes Store credit in the amount of $30. We hope you will enjoy this gift and accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this delay has caused.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Sincerely,
Apple Online Store Team

So, on the one hand you’re going to get $30 in free stuff from Apple on Monday. On the other hand you could be one of the unlucky saps on the far end of this issue who’s about to experience 96 hours without a phone. Worse still, your new iPhone 3GS could be singing to you right now too. [Thanks, Patrick, et al]

Samsung Mini S2 portable HDD graced with colors that perfectly match your tacky beach gear

Posted in: external hard drive, ExternalHardDrive, hard drive, HardDrive, samsung, Today's Chili

Sammy’s done it again. The company, known to have a penchant for pink products, has unveiled two new eye-catching colors for its Mini S2 portable HDD series. Joining the already available Snow White are Ocean Blue and Sweet Pink, pictured — and yep, if you look closely enough, that’s a sea of hearts lining the case on the right. All other options appear to be the same as when Samsung first unveiled the 2.5-inch drive, with capacity options ranging from 160GB all the way up to 500GB, and it’s current status is “coming soon” in Korea, with options to import likely to follow shortly after. Catering / pandering to the female audience? You betcha, and if this pic’s not proof enough, hit up the break for an image that’s decidedly more in line with the device’s initial inspiration / concept art.

Crapgadget: Delicious salmagundi of decorative inanities edition

Posted in: flash drive, FlashDrive, mp3 player, Mp3Player, PMP, speaker, Today's Chili, usb

We’re always big fans of mixed-use gadgets — but these ones kind of mutilate the principle. On hand today we’ve got a two pack of bedazzled necklaces — one an MP3 player, the other a USB flash drive / watch combo. We’ve also unearthed a USB speaker that claims to be a whale, but more closely resembles a weird, in our opinion. Finally (and this one was worth the wait, trust us), we’ve got a tiny Moto Horn for your bike, which makes it “safer” to ride your bike by… making vroom vroom motorbike noises as you zoom along. Consider these our best suggestions for what to do with your disposable income, folks.
