Sony Ericsson’s booth at IFA this year includes an Xperia -themed chopper that you can sit on and have your picture taken — with a Sony Ericsson cameraphone, of course. As of press time, no word on when it’ll be updated to use unleaded gasoline. Chris: “It’ll be available at local dealers mere moments after you finally stop wanting it.” Darren: “A fine substitute for the PSP Phone you’ve been dreaming of.” Laura: “Fail hog.” Ross: “Still no pinch-to-zoom, but at least here, that kind of makes sense.” Don: “Mr.
Managing to-dos from your desktop has its perks, but being able to carry that to-do list in your pocket is even better. Here’s a look at Lifehacker readers’ five favorite mobile to-do list managers.
While we admire the impulse to best your South Korean neighbor and build the world’s thinnest X (in this case, the world’s thinnest full LED LCD TV bezel), you can’t help but notice the base at the bottom where all the components that used to be in the back have been crammed seems to grow ever larger with each passing tradeshow.

If I ever write another book it will probably be about one of three topics. The first is the truth about how the press and journalism really works – the sausage making – to show just how much of a beautiful, subjective and chaotic mess it all is.

Remember that big, honking red-and-black HTC slider that dwarfed an EVO 4G? It’s back sporting Verizon colors just as we were told, and with a few more confirmed specifications thanks to the ever-reliable FCC. The HTC “PD42100″ is still missing a proper internal codename, but test reports confirm it’s ready for at least CDMA 2000 and GSM 850 plus EV-DO Rev
The term “social network” is of course synonymous with online networks like Facebook. But think about what you’re actual social life is like for a second.
