With the latest iPods shipping this week, you’ll be wanting to know whether an upgrade is necessary—or whether to take the plunge into the wild world of iPoddery. So far, this is what the reviews are saying: More »
Yo Nokia, you can keep your E5 and its HD Voice fanciness, we want ourselves an N-KIA E68. Why, we hear the enraged Nokia acolyte ask, why would we defile Nokia’s good name in such a manner? Mostly because this phone has one of the most fun and ingenious slider mechanisms we’ve seen yet. So what if we’ve got no idea what wannabe OS it’s running and so what if it’ll most likely fall apart on us a month into owning it? We still want one, dammit! Video after the break.
[Thanks, Derrty]

Microsoft has chosen the small hours of the night to announce pricing of its second Kinect bundle, which is set for launch along with the standalone and 4GB options on November 4 in the USA and November 10 across Europe. The new package throws in the 250GB slim version of the Xbox 360 to accompany the newfangled motion tracker, a spare conventional controller, and a copy of the utterly unmissable Kinect Adventures! (it has its own punctuation, it must be good). Pricing is a bit on the painful side, with Kotaku reporting a $399 figure for the US and Microsoft confirming to us a £300 sticker for this “special edition” bundle for the UK. Full press release follows after the break.
[Thanks, Ravi]

At last, an official date for Nokia’s N8 flagship Symbian^3 handset. This one’s been a long time coming, featuring the first of two major Symbian updates meant to bring Nokia’s smartphone division in line with the competition. Look for it in the “last week of September” at Nokia’s on-line shops for £429 SIM free, or free with £35 per month contract. Otherwise, it’ll hit the UK high street shops on October 1st. See the full announcement after the break.

My, how far we’ve come. Believe it or not, Mophie’s Juice Pack pack is in its seventh generation of product development, with the latest ‘Air‘ supporting Apple’s polarizing iPhone 4. For those unaware, these cases nearly double the battery life of the phone they’re wrapped around, and better still, it acts as protection against drops and dropped calls. Fancy that! This little guy is said to provide up to six extra hours of 3G talk time, 36 hours of bonus audio playback or nine hours of video playback. It’s shipping now, just like we said, to those willing to part ways with $79.95, and it’s available in any color you want, so long as it’s black.

Yes, that fateful day is upon us, the Samsung Fascinate has made its debut on Verizon’s online store pages, and it’s arrived with a quite unusual (for a top tier handset) sweetener. When buying one Fascinate, you’re given the option to obtain a second one for free. Well, the hardware would be free, you’d need two-year commitments on both phones with a minimum monthly data plan of $29.99 a piece, but it’s still the nicest thing Verizon’s done for us since it started throwing out free Pixi Pluses with purchases of Palm’s webOS handsets. You should also bear in mind your initial outlay here is a quite lofty $400, with two separate $100 mail-in rebates bringing the cost down. So it’s free in pecuniary terms, but probably not free of headaches.
[Thanks, Mike]

The 2011 Lincoln MKZ midsize sedan makes a hybrid drivetrain a no-cost option to go along with the dazzling Sync music and Bluetooth feature. Gas or gas-electric hybrid, it has a $35,180 base price including freight. Technically, the 2011 MKZ adds knockout features to an aging platform. Its uncertain success may hinge on factors unrelated to high-tech, such as whether the Lincoln brand has traction with upscale consumers in the near-luxury segment that Lincoln declares to be in tune with uncertain economic times.

Genius quietly introduced the Ring Mouse back at Computex, but little was said about the curious critter up until last week. Our pals over at Engadget Spanish managed some alone time with the device at IFA, and while we can’t imagine any long-term mouse user being able to grasp this (mentally, not physically) without first overcoming a steep learning curve, those more accustomed to cellphone optical pads may be in good shape. Put simply, the ring has an optical trackpad (“Opto Touch Wheel”) and an embedded 2.4GHz wireless model; wearers use their thumb to navigate the cursor, while miniature left / right click buttons do exactly what you’d expect. There’s still nary a word on price, but here’s hoping that we can wrap our hands — er, something — around this in the not-too-distant future.
P.S. – These guys are big, big fans.
