    We don’t think we’re over-reaching when we say that this device, Sungworld’s just-unveiled 7-inch, Android touchscreen MID looks a bit… well, Apple-ish, and we hear that the UI (which we haven’t yet seen in action) will take cues from the company as well. Regardless, this thickish-looking puppy will boast …

  • Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXLI: PXP 2000 is not a PSP Go, but it gets a loving unboxing anyway
    By Engadget on November 15th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    You know how we love a good knockoff at Engadget. Well, the PXP 2000 isn’t the greatest KIRF we’ve ever seen — especially considering that it’s a “PSP Go” that plays NES games (and pretty badly at that). It is, however, one of the most caring and detailed unboxings we’ve seen in a really long…

  • Foxit’s eSlick ereader now supports EPUB, puts Kindle to shame
    By Engadget on November 5th, 2009 | No Comments Comments

    Foxit’s eSlick isn’t exactly the most exciting ereader of all time, but now things have changed slightly with the addition of EPUB support, making this $259.99 device a more affordable (although less pretty) alternative to the Sony Reader , and a more flexible option than the Kindle . We looked around and…
