We get a wee bit excited round here when brands collide to create interesting new spinoffs, but this handset is full-on ridiculous. Our creative Asian friends weren’t happy with a simple gaming handset, they had to bust out a Windows Mobile-esque OS, with a dash of faux PSP, a splash of Nintendo all wrapped in almost Anycall. Notice that great big PSP logo on the back? Well that’s all there is for Sony content here, the handset is actually loaded with NES games and Pac-Man? Of course, we have to congratulate on the Samsung F520 double slider thing going on here, we feel that this is definitely a winning idea, but of course this handset only copies and is definitely not the brainchild of Samsung. Packing dual-band GSM a-la 900 / 1800, a 1.3 megapixel shooter, a touchscreen, and support for up to 2GB of memory, the mystery manufacturer handset definitely has the goods. This is without a doubt the pinnacle of Keepin’ It Real Fake fare, and we think this could only be topped by some clever use of iPhone branding and maybe a Coca-Cola color scheme. This one won’t be hitting carriers over here, but at the end of the day, who really cares? We are justifiably in awe.

While Sony was showing off its new Alpha DSLRs all the way back at
PMA in March (where we snapped up
plenty of pics of ‘em), it looks like the company is just now starting to let loose some official shots to flaunt the cameras in their best possible light. Unfortunately, they aren’t yet providing any specs to go along with the pics, although we do know that the cameras will boast the same BIONZ image processor and image stabilization of Sony’s
A100, which these cams are set to succeed. From the looks of it, Sony will have more to say about ‘em at the Seoul International Photo & Imaging Industry Show that’s just getting underway. Until then, you can check out a couple more pics of the various models after the break.

While Gigabyte officially launched its first UMPC, the
curiously-familiar U60, back at CeBit, the company unfortunately left out a few key details at the time — namely, pricing and availability. That seems to have finally been sorted out, however, and DigiTimes is now reporting that the device will be released in Taiwan on May 22nd for NT$26,900, or just over $800 (it’ll apparently hit the “global market” in the second half of the year). Gigabyte isn’t exactly going all out with them though, with the initial run pegged at just 500 units. In case you missed it, the device itself runs on a VIA C7-M processor, boasts a 6.5-inch 800 x 600 display, a 20GB or 30GB hard drive, and (something we didn’t know before) built-in 3G/3.5G support. According to DigiTimes, Gigabyte is also planning to release a second UMPC before too long, with it reportedly set to make its debut sometime in the second half of this year.

Too much of a good thingWater is vital to life, a fact we all know to be true. However what many don’t know is that too much water is actually bad for you, and can be fatal.

It reveals nothing of interest (unless you consider documents that read like high school physics lab reports to be “of interest”), but sure enough, Apple’s iPhone has completed that rite of passage that all handsets must traverse on their way to adulthood: FCC approval. As expected, the iPhone filing reveals just about as little as it possibly (legally) can, offering up a rendering of the ID label location — the best visual in the whole filing, by the way — and an endless array of RF plots for GSM / EDGE on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, Bluetooth, and WiFi radiation. No incriminating photographs of a well-abused iPhone lying helpless on a test workbench in some cavernous lab, no user’s manual. Soon, friends!
