Dell Streak 7 pops up on the T-Mobile website

Posted in: leak, MID, streak, t-mobile, tablet, Today's Chili
We had a nagging suspicion that this was goin’ down eventually. and here you have it: the Dell Streak 7 has appeared on T-Mobile’s website! As of this posting, actually clicking on the option gives you nothing — but we assume that will change soon enough. In the meantime, they do have a Sidekick XL to sell you.

Netbook Navigator announces it’ll announce three new Windows-based tablets at CES

Posted in: multitouch, slate, tablet, Today's Chili, Windows

Netbook Navigator has made tablet pcs in the past — one of which we reviewed — so it should come as no surprise that they’ve got several more brewing. In fact, we are now hearing that the company’s got three (yes, three) Windows-based tablets to show off when the floor opens and the stampede begins. Among the offerings will be the NAV7 tablet, what the company is describing as the “first ever multitouch Windows 7-inch” tablet, plus the NAV10i and a slightly revamped NAV9. While we don’t have full specs for any of these tablets, we do know that all will be Atom CPU-based devices with SSDs, 2GB of RAM, ‘several’ USB ports, WiFi, Bluetooth, and webcams, plus optional 3G. Other details about the NAV10i — it’ll be a 10-incher (capacitive LCD), while the NAV9 will be a rugged 8.9-incher. We’ll let you know as soon as we get our hands on these bad boys, but until then: the full press release is after the break.

Available in Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand beginning this month, with a U.S. carrier to be announced. Keep an eye on this space for news from the launch later today!

Honeycomb will not require dual-core CPU as minimum hardware spec

Posted in: Android, dual-core, Google, honeycomb, processor, Today's Chili

Oh, never mind then. Google’s ever-informative and ever-knowledgeable Dan Morrill has disabused the world from the bogus belief that Android’s “made for tablets” iteration, aka Honeycomb, will require a dual-core processor as a minimum to run. Dan says there are no specific CPU requirements for aspiring Android 3.0 tablets to meet and we should all sit back, relax, and enjoy our breakfast. That’s reassuring to note, but let’s not read more into it than what’s said — while Honeycomb might not technically require a dual-core beastie to power it, there’s a reason why the Motorola Xoom (which is soon to become the first device to offer Honeycomb onboard) is launching with a Tegra 2 chip inside.

[Thanks, Dean]

AirStash wireless flash drive with media streaming and WebDAV update hands-on (video)

Posted in: Features, flash drive, FlashDrive, hands-on, ios, ipad, keynote, storage, Today's Chili, video

Remember our good friends from AirStash at last year’s CES? Well, this year they’re back with the same wireless storage dongle, but now bolstered with a new firmware and smarter ways of transferring files to and from your mobile devices. As before, the AirStash is essentially an SD card reader that can be accessed as an ordinary USB storage device, or a basic read-only file server via WiFi tethering, meaning the host device doesn’t require a card reader or a USB host. Upon requests from many users, AirStash is now finalising an HTML5-based web app and a free native iOS app, both of which offer in-app image browsing and media streaming, including HD videos and Apple DRM content on iOS (associated with the appropriate Apple ID, of course).

What really surprised us was the claim that the AirStash’s minuscule 600mAh cell can do streaming for around five hours, regardless of the media type. That said, we were only given a demo with a standard-definition video clip, and even that took about 25 seconds to buffer over 802.11g WiFi, so you can imagine how many sunsets you might see while waiting for an HD clip to load. With about a full month away from release, AirStash thinks it can push the loading speed up in time for launch, so we shall see. Read on to see the other new features.

Denon and Marantz AirPlay update finally released for $49

Posted in: airplay, Apple, firmware, Today's Chili, update
Denon and Marantz AirPlay update finally released for $49

We knew that Denon and Marantz receivers components would be the first to get upgraded to support AirPlay, but we didn’t think it would take quite this long. The patch to add AirPlay support to nine network-enabled receivers and other devices. It was also supposed to be free until November 7th. Well, it didn’t get out by then, and sure doesn’t look free now, but it is at least available, a $49.99 patch downloadable for the following devices:

  • Denon AVR-4311CI
  • Denon AVR-3311CI
  • Denon AVR-991
  • Denon AVR-A100
  • Denon N7 Networked CD Receiver and 2.0 Channel Speaker System
  • Marantz SR7005 A/V Receiver
  • Marantz AV7005 A/V Preamplifier
  • Marantz NA7004 Network Audio Player
  • Marantz M-CR603 Networked CD Receiver

Full PR after the break.

Microsoft’s first Windows Phone 7 update coming this month?

Posted in: Microsoft, Today's Chili, update, upgrade, windows phone 7, WindowsPhone7, Wp7

It’s no secret that Microsoft is anxious to get copy / paste functionality rolled out to Windows Phone 7 users on the double. In his CES keynote last night, Steve Ballmer himself said that it’d be coming soon — but a little hint on Microsoft’s site indicates that it might be coming as soon as this month: the URL Microsoft is using for the update’s details page includes “january-update.aspx” in it, which we’d say is pretty telling. Of course, launch dates inevitably slip, and perennial Microsoft guru Paul Thurrott thinks it’s tracking for early February before it’ll actually reach users’ devices… so we wouldn’t go canceling vacations you’ve got scheduled this month just so you can be around to score the update as soon as it’s available.

NoSquint For Firefox Makes Reading Text Easier

Posted in: Software, Today's Chili

This article was written on November 09, 2006 by CyberNet.

NoSquint If you have a hard time reading some websites then you should download the NoSquint Firefox extension. Once installed you can adjust the default text zoom level so that the text will appear larger or smaller by default. You can also have it change the size of the text based on the domain you are visiting.

This is one extension that comes in handy for certain sites. However, I don’t think I actually use it for the purpose it was designed for. When I visit sites, like Google, I have it shrink the text down to 95% because it is still readable and more fits on my screen at the same time then. I have a lot of custom domains setup to automatically adjust the size of the text each time I visit them.

Whether you use the extension to make text larger or smaller I’m sure you’ll find it useful on at least a few sites.
