Hasta La Gadget!

It looks like someone has developed Portable Opera 9 for those people who want to test out the latest version of Opera but aren’t sure if it is worth installing. I believe that it is worth installing it but this also lets people carry it around on a USB drive or on a CD.

Yes, you can put it on a CD because there is a one-time use version that does not need to save/write anything. Most people would want to choose the Personal version because it will save their settings, history, and other personal things. While using the Personal version it will store the settings and information on the computer but upon closing Opera it will pack everything into a single file and put it on the writable device. It erases the settings and information from the host machine and then overwrites the data in the location so that there is no trace of your information.

Now you can carry Opera around in your pocket or just use this to see if you like it. If you decide that you want to use it on a more permanent basis then you can download the installer from Opera.

Everyone’s favorite WiMAX-powered Android device finally has a date and a price, and you don’t have terribly long to wait: June 4 is the date that you’ll want to be lining up outside your local Sprint store for an EVO 4G, $199 in hand (assuming you’re signing up for a new contract, of course — according to the fine print, the full cost is $450 before all discounts). Interestingly, Sprint has specifically called out that you’ll be able to video chat (remember, the EVO 4G has a front-facing cam) over both 3G and 4G using Qik — not a bad choice, considering the company’s well-established expertise with streaming live video out of handsets.

Unfortunately, there’s a downside to all this: customers will be paying a mandatory (as confirmed to us by Sprint reps) $10 per month “Premium Data add-on” on top of their plan — ostensibly for the privilege of enjoying WiMAX when they’re in a Sprint 4G market — and the 8-device WiFi hotspot feature runs an extra $29.99 a month, which Sprint is quick to point out is half what you’d pay for a dedicated mobile broadband account. As we saw at CTIA, the phone is the first to offer on-phone YouTube high quality video, a feature that automatically kicks in when you’re in the sweet confines of a WiMAX tower. Oh, and check this out: Sprint was hesitant to commit to offering simultaneous voice and data before, but HTC must’ve worked out the kinks, because it’s all systems go — you’ll be able to yap and browse on 4G at the same time.

We’re at the EVO 4G’s announcement in New York as we type, and we can tell you that everything Sprint is demoing is crazy fast — we’d expect no less from an WiMAX device with a 1GHz Snapdragon — and we’re particularly stoked to see them demo Need For Speed Shift on it, which will be launching on Android around the same time as the device. Follow the break for Sprint’s full press release!

Update: According to Phone Scoop, that $10 premium add-on has the benefit of no data cap for either WiMAX or 3G connections. Since we’re on the subject of updates, have you seen our bevy of new EVO 4G videos yet?

Update 2: Starting today, Best Buy is accepting pre-orders for the device, and per usual, they won’t require you to wait for the mail-in rebate — it’s just $199.99 straight-up on contract. Thanks, all!

Look, we’ve no beef with Osram Sylvania (nor Artison, for that matter), but calling these MusicLites “a first of its kind” is a bit of a stretch, if not an outright falsity. Klipsch launched essentially the same thing back at CES this year with the LightSpeaker, but hey, we’ve no gripes with a little competition in the space. The aforementioned duo has joined up in order to produce something that should make the art of integrating whole home audio into your own abode a good bit easier, with the MusicLites design combining a 10-watt LED light, a 70mm full-range loudspeaker and a wireless audio receiver. The device can slide into four-, five- or six-inch recessed cans, and we’re told that it’ll provide light output equivalent to a 65-watt reflector bulb. As you’d probably expect, there’s a proprietary 2.4GHz transceiver that works with a variety of sources, some of which include USB, smartphones and PMPs. Each kit will ship with a pair of 3.8″ x 5.3″ modules and a remote that controls light dimming and audio settings, and while mum’s the word on pricing, it’ll be commercially available sometime in the fall.
