Hasta La Gadget!

Well well. Look at this. Taking a page from the CES-challenging Apple / Macworld playbook, Google has announced a press event on January 5th (just like we told you) in Mountain View, stating:

With the launch of the first Android-powered device just over a year ago, we’ve seen how a powerful, open platform can spur mobile product innovation. And this is just the beginning of what’s possible.

Please join us in Mountain View on January 5, for an Android press gathering.

If this lines up with the news we’ve seen recently, it’s likely a Nexus One announcement will be the order of the day, and most (if not all) of your nagging questions will get answered. You know we’ll be there live… so hang on to your hats, and mark down the date!

T-Mobile is telling employees to prepare for the launch of a Google Android phone in early January that will be sold directly by Google, a report says. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://news.cnet.com/8301-30684_3-10422630-265.html” class=”origPostedBlog”Relevant Results/a/p

The last time we saw Concord Keystone around these parts our minds were collectively blown by something called the QuantumGravity watch. It looks like its newest product, however, is a little more… conventional. The Easy Shot Clip is a plain-looking, 2-inch long camcorder with 2GB of storage (for up to 2 hours of 640 x 480, 30 fps video), mounts for a neck strap, stand, shirt clip, bicycle mount, and a helmet, and one solitary button. But the best thing? Even if it does retail for $70, we’re sure it’ll be hitting bargain bins and dollar stores in short order. Look out for it at CES next week, or everywhere else in February.

Easy Shot Clip camcorder is pretty small, pretty cheap, but not very pretty originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:03:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

For as little as $5, you can snag one of the best action/RPG titles of all time. If you’re willing to spend a little more, other entertainment bargains await. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://news.cnet.com/8301-13845_3-10422589-58.html” class=”origPostedBlog”The Cheapskate/a/p

The slow drip of Nexus One info continues at the FCC — just a day after we saw the Bluetooth desktop dock hit the database, the Bluetooth car dock we’d also seen floating around has turned up for inspection. And what’s this? The list of ancillary testing equipment used says the phone’s “trade name” is “Google Phone,” which is the first time we’ve seen that name used in a semi-official fashion. It’s particularly notable since this form was prepared by HTC employees and the phone is called the Nexus One elsewhere in the document, so you’d think they’d just put either HTC or Nexus One in that space. Of course, it’s also entirely possible that whoever filled out this form just got a little carried away, but c’mon — you wouldn’t lie to the government, now would you? Titillating wireframe pic of the car dock after the break.
