The department store Harrods is no stranger to exposing Londoners to some of the finer — and more eccentric — things in life, and so after learning that it’d be bringing RIM’s Porsche Design P’9981 BlackBerry to its shelves as a UK exclusive, we couldn’t help but smile with curiosity. While we’ve yet to see anything official come across the wires, it’s reported that this sexy slab of unlocked goodness will retail for £1,275 and hit stores before the month’s end. We’ve attempted to confirm these details with RIM’s UK group but, as it turns out, Brits like going home early on Friday, too.

After failed Roku partnership, Netgear eyes Google TV

Posted by on Wednesday, 14 September, 2011

Netgear is evaluating the use of Google TV for future digital living room products, according to a report from Slashgear. A company spokesperson told the website that “as a platform it’s not there yet.” However, that won’t stop Netgear from taking a closer look at the TV operating system, especially now that the release of a big update based on Honeycomb and access to the Android Market is imminent.

Netgear is no stranger to the online video set-top box market. The company briefly teamed up with Roku last fall, bringing co-branded Roku boxes to retailers in time for the holiday season. However, the honeymooon between the two companies was apparently very short-lived: A Roku spokesperson told us recently that the partnership with Netgear ended “last year.”

The router maker is now trying to corner the market for sub-0 media players with its own product dubbed NeoTV, which offers access to some 100 content sources, including Netflix and VUDU.

So why is Netgear looking at Google TV despite having just built its own platform? Access to the Android Market could be a big boon for anyone releasing products for this market, and a built-in web browser will give users access to a wide range of additional content.

However, embracing Google TV is not without risks. Logitech recently had to write off millions after its Google TV-powered Logitech Revue set-top box sold far below expectations. The company is now selling the product below cost for . Netgear would probably want to wait until bigger players like Samsung and Vizio have rolled out their Google TV products to avoid a similar fate as Logitech.

Microsoft patents new type of mobile slider, puts keyboards and screens on equal footing

Posted by on Friday, 12 August, 2011

Patents are the currency of the realm these days, and companies accrue them however they can — whether filing for their own or buying someone else’s. Microsoft’s no stranger to the patent game, and it’s added one more piece to its IP stockpile in the form of a “moveable housing of a mobile communications device.” A broad title, to be sure, but the patent essentially covers sliders where the keyboard ends up flush with the screen after it’s moved. In existing designs, the sliding display gets in the way of pressing the top row of keys, and squishing the grid’s size or fattening up the phone are the only ways to make space for fingers to press them. This new design frees phalanges and keys from such constraints, and adds a little something to the phone’s aesthetics as well. Sounds great Microsoft, now put this patent in the capable hands of Nokia’s hardware engineers and get to work making a sleek new WP7 slider, stat!
