Via debuts M’Serv 2100 server with 64-bit Nano CPU

No Comments »

If you’re a small business customer or very serious about your reality TV habit, you just might want to take a look at Via’s newest. The M’Serv S2100 mini server is the first to rock Via’s new 64-bit Nano CPU (in this case the 1.3+GHz at 1.6GHz) — but that ain’t all! The case measures only 10.2- by 4.7-inches but includes two 3.5-inch SATA II drive bays (for up to 4TB storage), an integrated and bootable CF card slot, two gigabit Ethernet ports, three USB 2.0 ports, VGA output, and VT virtualization support for network video recording and virtual server applications

RED ONE getting Mysterium-X sensor upgrade next week

No Comments »

RED may be busy talking up and showing off its new EPIC-X and Scarlet cameras these days, but it’s not about to leave its loyal RED ONE users behind, with it now announcing that they’ll be able to upgrade their camera to the new Mysterium-X sensor starting January 22nd.. That’s the same sensor that will come standard on the EPIC-X, and promises a range of improvements for the $5,750 it’ll cost you — not the least of which is improved low-light performance (one of the few knocks against the original sensor).

Apple tries for ‘adding a contact to a home screen’ patent, but Android beat them to the punch

No Comments »

Despite the incredible realism of the drawing above to the left, we’re probably not looking at iPhone OS 4.0 right here. Instead we’ve got Apple doing what Apple does: applying for a patent for some pretty vague functionality that may or may not end up in a device someday. No harm in that game, but it looks like Google’s already done the “put a contact on the home screen with their picture” thing before Apple got a chance, as demonstrated on the right.

Windows Mobile 6.6 (aka ‘not Windows Mobile 7′) set for February release?

No Comments »

The sometimes-believable, sometimes-not fellows over at DigiTimes are reporting today that Windows Mobile codename “Maldives” is going to break out as version 6.6 (a name we’d previously heard associated with version 7) with native support for capacitive touchscreens next month — a launch window that would line up nicely with Mobile World Congress, where 6.5 was announced a year prior.

Ableton, Serato announce ‘The Bridge,’ cause DJs to faint en masse

No Comments »

Ableton and Serato — two of the biggest names in live music production — have been working in stealth mode over the past year to create what they’ve been billing as “the future of digital DJing,” and today that new product has been revealed as The Bridge. Basically, you’ve got a thin layer of software that sits between full versions of both Serato Live (or Itch) and Ableton Live that allows output from both products to flow into the other — DJ sets can be imported into Ableton with full control over effect parameters, tempo, pitch, and so on, and Ableton instruments can sit inside a Serato session.

myTouch 3G Fender Edition subs for G1 on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’

No Comments »

We knew the when and the what , but now we know the whom: Eric Clapton will be touting the new Fender Limited Edition of T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G on national TV, and a few of his hits will be pre-loaded onto the phone. The faux-wood handset goes on sale January 20th, and packs a 16GB microSD card for cramming in some of Clapton’s lesser-known jams from your own catalog, along with a long-awaited 3.5mm headphone jack so you can actually get some enjoyment out of them. There are also a few guitar-related apps preloaded, a new doubleTwist partnership for music syncing, and Fender will be selling a few accessories of its own to really kit the thing out.

Unauthorized iPhone news readers raise eyebrows

No Comments »

Here’s an interesting little new media legal dilemma for you: apparently there are several paid apps in the iPhone App Store that bill themselves as “readers” for publications like the New York Times , CNET , and the BBC, but aren’t actually licensed or official in anyway — they’re just pulling RSS feeds. That means people paying for an app like The New York Times Mobile Reader aren’t actually getting an app from the Times — and, perhaps more importantly, the Times isn’t getting anything from anyone.
