Good Deal: Amazon’s steep AT&T smartphone sale offers one cent HD7S, Inspire 4G, Captivate, and more
It’s the harsh reality of smartphones nowadays: with the number of device choices and the rate at which they’re replaced the so-called phones of yesteryear are really only a few months old. There is a good side to all of this gloom and doom, however: if you’re willing to pass on the latest-and-greatest you can pick up perfectly-capable phones for bargin-bin prices. Amazon Wireless has new deals on some AT&T BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and Android smartphones from now through February 14th. Most cost merely a cent, though there are a few that are still going to put a dent in your wallet even after discount. Check below for the list of choices.
Windows Phone 7:
- HTC HD7S: $ 0.01
- Samsung Focus Flash: $ 0.01
- Samsung Focus S: $ 19.99
- HTC Titan:…

With a site redesign freshly under its belt, the FCC’s setting its recently honed eye for modernization on other, more pertinent areas of its jurisdiction — like Lifeline. The universal program, a means of guaranteeing affordable phone service to low-income families, hadn’t exactly kept pace with changes in the telecom industry, overlooking consumers’ preference for wireless and the growing need for pervasive broadband access. That’s all set to change with new measures adopted by the Commission today designed to curb carrier abuse of the antiquated system and automate the enrollment process by eliminating unnecessary duplicate accounts and subsidies. A pilot program to offer and potentially bundle discounted, high-speed internet to eligible participants is also underway, with potential ISP partners currently being solicited for inclusion. All told, the moves could wind up saving the federal agency over $ 2 billion in misdirected funds over a three-year span, leaving more money on the table to help your average Joe and Jane America step firmly into the 21st century.

For months we’ve been waiting on Razer’s Blade notebook, a $ 2800, 17-inch beast that we weren’t sure whether to laud or mock. It’s just that it’s kind of a strange thing to see making a big debut when people are more cautious than usual with their money, and PC gaming (as ever) is being declared dead. But after our hands-on at CES, we were convinced that it was at the very least impressive and well-built, and apparently enough other people thought so that Razer sold out almost immediately.
Now, the actual number sold isn’t mentioned, but Razer isn’t a small company and they were going all-out with this thing at CES. But we’ve seen devices launch to sales of dozens, so a strong response to a launch like this is definitely good news.
The company shared the news on their Facebook page, and urges prospective buyers to sign up for a notification email list. Hopefully that $ 2800 won’t burn a hole in your pocket in the meantime.
Personally, I’m more excited about their plans to disconnect the touchscreen and LCD keys from the laptop, making a customizable piece of hardware you can use with your existing PC. I’m not really down with the small-screen gaming and I like my keyboards a little meatier, so the Blade isn’t for me — but I do have gear envy when I see all those future toys on the side.
This is a ‘house’ that fits in your pocket, created by Barcelona designer Martin Azura, whose work focuses on minimalistic and environmentally friendly constructions. It’s basically an incredibly lightweight balloon that can be carried in your pocket and used for shelter. *patting backpack* Thanks, but I think I’m good on portable shelter. “Sssshhhhhhh — he thinks he’s one of us.” YOU SHUT THE F*** UP, DONATELLO.
The Basic House is a temporary housing solution so portable it can be folded up to fit in your pocket. Created from a metalized polyester material, when unfolded it self inflates with body heat or from the heat of the sun to provide an instant shelter.
Once inside the shelter, the material reflects your body heat to keep the user warm. If reversed the material will reflect the sun to keep a cool interior.
Great idea, just stop calling it a house. A house isn’t just an enclosed space, there’s usually more to it. I dunno, a bookshelf or something. I LIVE ON THE STREETS.
Meet the house that fits in your pocket [dvice]
Thanks to Ashraf, who agrees if this is a house then the guy living on my corner with two refrigerator boxes taped together in an L shape must have a f***ing mansion.

Dual-SIM phones are perfect for when the carriers are desperate for your business, keeping your work life separate, or to mask your philandering — but what if two isn’t enough? LG (stands for Lucky Goldstar, now you know) is producing a phone with a third SIM slot, only one less than the ridiculously equipped OTECH F1. The A290 candy-bar throwback sports a 176 x 220, 2.2-inch display, 1.3 megapixel camera, LED flashlight and a 1500 mAh battery. Russians (for it’s exclusive to the nation) looking to swell their SIM collection can do so from next month at the cost of €75 ($ 100).

Amazon CFO Tom Szkutak offered more details this afternoon during an analyst earnings call about the company’s disappointing fourth quarter
When it comes to physical media, Szkutak said the biggest hit to revenue came in the area of video game sales, which includes both console and game sales (but not games sold digitally, say from Amazon’s app store). Even though he didn’t offer specific numbers on that front, he noted that video games sales are seasonal and normally take a big leap in the last quarter of the year — and that happened this year, but it wasn’t enough to match 2010 revenue. In part, that’s because more of those sales are going to Amazon’s third-party sellers, rather than Amazon itself. So video game sales, as measured in units, were up, while revenue was down.
As far as the Kindle goes, Szkutak would only repeat Amazon’s previous statement that Kindle sales (including the Kindle Fire tablet) grew 177 percent compared to the same period last year. When asked if the Fire might be cannibalizing sales of Kindle e-readers, Szkutak said, “Both devices, meaning the readers and Fire, did very well.” And if you’re curious about Amazon’s original staple, physical books, those sales saw double digital growth too. As Szkutak noted, that’s “impressive given the shift to Kindle.”
Meanwhile, digital content sales were up across-the-board, he said.

Like as if it were a normal camera. Is there a way..? I don’t need it for YouTube or anything, just for playback to watch later.
Best answer:
Answer by BretCertain games have a record functionality, and there is video chat, but nothing so far to just record your self.
