Mobileye 5-Series Preview
We take the open highway for granted, especially when we’re operating a 4000-lb automobile. I don’t think I need to tell anyone that accidents happen every day, many of which are avoidable if today’s drivers paid a bit more attention to the road and not their smartphone or radio. How nice would it be to have a copilot monitoring your driving behavior, and provide you [...]

ASUS Padfone review (video)
ASUS took the wraps off of the second of their line of convertible tablets, and this one is cool as hell. Using what ASUS calls the “n+1″ concept, which refers to taking a current product and adding a single change that allows the product to evolve beyond its current capability, ASUS looks to dumb-down the process of moving between a tablet and a phone.
Enter the Padfone, a very different 10.1-inch [...]

HP Veer review
OK, so if you’ve seen this phone, you know what I’ll be talking about. The new HP Veer is far and away the smallest, full-featured smartphone out on the market today. If you read the press before it appeared in stores, everyone was reporting it was small, but until you get your paws on it, you have no idea it’s scrawnyness.

So, the iPhone 4 does not have 4G (WiMax) yet. iPhone 5 will surely sport it, but currently, nada. That’s where ‘The Egg’ comes in. It’s a case for the iPhone 4, which provides 4G connectivity.
It also has a built-in battery that adds up to 5 hours of ultra high speed web surfing. And if you don’t mind the added girth, (it adds up to 8mm of thickness and weighs [...]
