Windows Mobile 6 unofficially meets Dell’s Axim X50v
Posted on 2007 under Other Gadgets | No Comment
Sure, it’s been nearly three full years since Dell’s Axim X50v was the envy of all your neighbors, and while you aren’t likely to find any official updates for the PDA coming out of Round Rock anytime soon, there’s (nearly) nothing an engineering mind can’t whip up. That said, folks dreaming about migrating Windows Mobile 6 onto their X50v can snap out of it and get to work, as a pioneering individual has apparently managed to do just that. ‘Course, we’d recommend that you think long and hard before installing unofficial software onto your handheld, but if you’re the mettlesome type, feel free to hit the read link and try ‘er out.

Elusive ‘Dietrich’ supposedly found, arrested after fleeing Gizmondo crash
Posted on 2007 under Other Gadgets | No Comment
Some 16 months after we heard the last crazy twist in the Gizmondo crash fiasco, it looks like the case may finally be winding down. After searching high and low for a “mysterious witness” known only as Dietrich — who, if you’ll recall, supposedly fled the scene after he crashed the Ferrari Enzo in question — LA county police now have reason to believe that Trevor Michael Karney may actually be this elusive (and fictitious) character. As fate would have it, it seems that Karney lied to the boys in blue on the night of the crash, when in fact, he was the passenger that was “using a video camera to photograph Eriksson driving at speeds of up to 162mph.” Of course, fibbing to the fuzz and and resisting arrest aren’t exactly angelic deeds, so it looks like Mr. Karney will too have his day in court soon enough.
