Category: Cell Phones
Written by Andrew Barrus

motorola_droid_razr_smartphone_icon.jpgThe Droid Razr is the newest Android powered smartphone in Motorola's arsenal with Big Red. Motorola's choice of the name Razr tells us quite a bit about their belief in this newest LTE Droid. The Razr was Motorola's flagship phone for years and still caries quite a bit of weight in the cellular industry with the Razr line having revolutionized mobile phones and still clinging to the title as the most sold flip phone. Motorola has sold over 130 million Razr flip phones over 4 years of production. The choice of the name Razr should be a sign that Motorola's got a new favorite in the smartphone race.

Verizon Juke - by Samsung

Details
Category: Cell Phones
Written by Michael Todd

samsung-juke-tn.jpgIts tiny. Its sleek. Its all the rage right now. And it swivels open like a switchblade; neat. If you are into music, this just might be the phone for you. The Juke definately gets points for style. When it is in its compact form, it just looks like an edgy mp3 player sporting a turn-wheel interface much like the 'Chocolate'. On the side you'll find the standard rocker volume buttons, a 2.5 millimeter earphone jack, a data-port, and a convenient button-lock slider. The screen, like the phone, is tiny but high-quality.

Nokia E62 - Best Browser on a Cell Phone

Written by Rich McComas

e62-60w.jpgThe Nokia E62's big-button full QWERTY keyboard makes it one of our favorite PDA phones, and while the processor is a bit slow and the operating system takes a some getting used to, we think that the best-in-breed web browser more than makes up for this phone's short-comings. What makes this web-browser so amazing is their large screen and the ability to surf full-sized web pages while zooming and panning with the greatest of ease. For people who want to really surf the web portably, the Nokia E62 is the phone for you.

TECH2 LAKE HOUSE

th-channel7-370.jpgUPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics.  Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon.  Click HERE for a DLINK Live Video Feed with pan and zoom features (userid=user, no password, daylight hours only). 

Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California.  Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967.  The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort.  This summer retreat will host  technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies.  There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete.  For more info, send email to ronald@usa.net, or call 707-995-2683.  To see the latest photos, visit Ron's Flickr gallery.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:

  • Home automation: lighting, security, and entertainment
  • A/V technology for the 500 SF home theater media demo room

Hot News on Cool New Features: The ENTIRE front of the home is made of 21 sliding NanaWall glass panels that fold into the walls, opening the entire home up to the lake during demo days.
