Anyone who knows me well enough will remember my obsession with BMX and the 1980s. These QWERTY grips for your bike? They remind me of something a dorkier Bob Haro would have used back on his first Freestyler. Not only do they match well with the white or black coloring that’s available, but at $8 a pair, they’re also some of the most inexpensive grips on the market right now. Consider a pair the next time you open your parents... Continue reading

It’s official – laptops can’t get any smaller. If they did, reading and typing on them would be an impossible task. I thought the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 was small, but the IMOVIO iKIT takes the cake. The cupcake, that is. This thing is unnecessarily too small. It’s dimensions are 95 x 65 x 15.5 mm and it weighs almost half the weight of a Nintendo DS Lite and 20g less than an iPhone, so it’s pretty damn tiny. It... Continue reading

One might think the Google G1 is lacking in the apps department, but that’s not true at all. It turns out that a virtual keyboard should be released sometime in Q1 of 2009 for Google’s Android. So, if for some reason the QWERTY keyboard on the G1 doesn’t do it for you, you can wait around for the virtual keyboard. That way, you can pretend your G1 is an iPhone. Link [via]

Now that we can see the recently announced Xbox 360 QWERTY Controller in the wild, we can offer a full confirmation on Microsoft’s announcement. This is the first public viewing of the QWERTY text input device for Xbox. The announcement coincides with Microsoft’s announcement that MSN Messenger will soon be available from the Xbox dashboard. The controller will allow for easy text input without the need... Continue reading

With the announcement that MSN Messenger will now be integrated into the Xbox 360 dashboard, Microsoft has also announced a QWERTY controller for hassle-free text input for the chat program. The 47-keyed controller plugs into the normal controller via the headphone jack. While it might be a little clunky looking, it sure as hell beats having to lug a full keyboard around. The Microsoft dashboard update, which will take place on May 7, will allow up to six chat windows... Continue reading

Motorola has just released their brand new Q q9. So what is it? It’s basically an upgraded/updated Q with a new design and Windows Mobile 6. So what does the Q q9 offer? One feature is the very nice screen. Whether you are indoors or out in the wilderness (escaping your computer chamber), you will be able to read what it says. In terms of actual hardware, the 256MB of onboard memory ensures that you won’t be stalling the OS... Continue reading

This new keyboard definitely confuses for a second. It is the New Standards Keyboard created by John Parkinson because “things that make no sense have always bugged me.” At first glance, this looks even worse than a QWERTY keyboard, but when you study key placement, it actually makes some sense. All of the alphabet keys are in alphabetical order, the arrow keys are directly in the center, each thumb has its very own space key, and there are only half... Continue reading
