It looks like Creative’s getting set to muscle in on Pure Digital’s Flip Video — online retailer JR.com has specs up for something called the Vado VF0570-P, and they’re basically identical to the Flip Video Ultra, apart from a slightly larger 2-inch screen. Other than that, you’re getting the same 2 hours of VGA-res video on 2GB of built-in memory and YouTube support for the same $100 price. No pics or ship dates yet, but we’re guessing we’ll see something official pretty soon.

Oh boy. As if Sprint didn’t have enough on its plate. The WSJ is reporting that Sprint is looking to spin off or sell Nextel, which is a clear-cut sign that their $35 billion acquisition is a bona fide disaster. The Nextel network lost roughly 3.4 million subscribers from 2006 to 2007. Their current subscriber […]
Oh boy. As if Sprint didn’t have enough on its plate. The WSJ is reporting that Sprint is looking to spin off or sell Nextel, which is a clear-cut sign that their $35 billion acquisition is a bona fide disaster. The Nextel network lost roughly 3.4 million subscribers from 2006 to 2007. Their current subscriber base is around 13.2 million, but those close to the matter believe that number could drop down to five million within two years. Ouch.
Sprint has a few options at the moment, which include, but are not limited to, converting Nextel customers to Sprint (they now offer some walkie-talkie devices) or selling off Nextel for a fraction of what they paid in 2005. Based on a bit of conjecture, Deutsche Telekom may be waiting for Sprint to deal with Nextel before attempting to either take over or purchase Sprint.
One possible suitor to acquire Nextel is Cyren Call, which was founded by Nextel founder Morgan O’Brien. They’re currently scrounging up investors to create a nationwide wireless network for public safety communications. Those close to the matter are saying CC wouldn’t actually be the buyer. Who knows, though.
This is starting to get juicy. We’ll be following this one closely.

Apparently you can fit animals with all sorts of prosthetics these days. Take this dolphin, which got its tail caught in a crab trap two years ago. For two years the dolphin, Winter, couldn’t swim. Now, however! The artificial tail took several months to complete, but now Winter is nearly good as new. Why do I […]

The artificial tail took several months to finish, but now Winter is nearly good as new.
Why do I bring this up? Because it’s science-related and everyone loves dolphins. No heavy lifting required.

You want questionable design? Kenko’s giving you questionable design. Rather than just leaving the remote unattached like, oh, each other digital photo frame maker in the universe, this firm has found a reason to stick it on the side of the frame itself. Generally known for its photographic paper, Kenko has ventured into the ever-growing world of digiframes with the 7-inch KDF-07, and while the flip-out remote can be tucked behind when not needed, we’re still a bit perplexed as to why it’s even assembled in this manner. Specs wise, you’ll find support for JPEG, MP3, AVI and MPEG1/2/4 file formats, a multicard reader, a 480 x 234 resolution panel and a USB port for transferring files from your Computer. Folks somehow obsessed with the above pictured device can supposedly snag one in grain, black or silver motifs for
