Gearfuse

The only thing more important to us than the coolest geeky shit on the web is you guys. Where would we be without you? Well, for one, we’d be homeless. Two, we would have shut down long ago. So really, thank you, thank you, thank you, for being so damn awesome.

Now, the meat and potatoes of this here post. We’d love if you could throw us a follow over at Twitter. You can find us @Gearfuse. Every once in a while you’ll find an exclusive contest or deal going down over there. We try to make it worth your while.

If you ever want to say anything to me personally like, “Yo, what up Andrew, you should really shower more often cuz you reek, son” or just want to pop-in and say hey, you can always e-mail me at andrew -@- gearfuse.com. And as always, you can request that I check out your geeky gadget, book or service for a potential review on Gearfuse.

Thanks again and we love you all. Every single one of you.

After years of building up their name in the recording industry, AKG released a slew of consumer headphones, ready for us in the States to dabble with. I’ve had the opportunity to play around with both the K 340 and K 450 models, both portable, though in-canal and foldable respectively. After a week or so of listening to these phones it became clear that AKG is just as serious about their consumer headphones as they are about their professional grade equipment.

I was asked by the developers of SmartRSS 2 to play around with it before its release on the iTunes App Store. The software, released by Visuamobile, is one of the best RSS readers I’ve used period, let alone for an iPhone. It’s very quick and although it lags up at times, this is expected when you’re grabbing hundreds of RSS feeds at once.

Adding a new feed is easy. Just use the menu (seen above) and search for your favorite website or blog. If it’s not listed, you can manually enter the feed URL. You can also import an OPML file via your Google Reader account, which sets up in seconds. All of the other standard features you’d expect in an RSS reader are here and the formatting is perfect for the iPhone 3G.

The lovely folk at T-Mobile just sent us our Android-equipped Google G1 phone for review. After the jump, all the pics you could ever want, including a sampling of the supposedly three-megapixel camera it has.

There is always the Apple fanboy (as well as the general consumer) who wants to read reviews despite the close release of a product. In this case, the iPhone 3G comes out on Friday and the NY Times, WSJ and USA Today have all reviewed the latest iPhone. The verdict?

Generally awesome, overall. Data speeds are “much, much faster” according to Mossberg and Pogue is in love with it. Baig from USA Today even goes as far to say there’s “no equal among consumer-oriented smartphones.” Them’s big words! Looks like it’s a big hit and you’ll be waiting in line this Friday if you’re itching to get one. Good luck!

The console wars were more ferocious than any other war in history. You could say they top the Vietnam War, but you won’t. Many companies would rise and fall through the video game crash of 1983, yet only one would prevail to be the most terrible. And now, dear reader, I present to you the 10 worst systems of all time.
