When Motorola rolled out the Cliq back in October, a sales pamphlet was one of the first things to show up in the wild after the announcement. Motorola has released yet another sales guide allowing T-Mobile employees an opportunity sell the Cliq XT in 60 seconds. While thats a pretty tall order for any salesperson, Motorola is breaking down the highlights of the Cliq XTs features and giving you all the reasons to buy. Of course, if the pinch-and-zoom navigation, a 5-megapixel camera and MotoBlur dont do it for...

There are so many options for technology products on the market today that you can find gear just about anywhere. More options is not a bad thing though and Office Max has announced that it will be offering its own line of tech gear under the Engage brand. Heres hoping Captain Piccard is featured on the packaging.

The first products in the Engage line will be a wired optical mouse and a wireless optical mouse. The wired version of the mouse will sell for $16.99 and will be offered in black...

Pondering the future of the Windows operating system, Technologizer asked a group of 28 revered journalists, technologists, and former Microsoft employees how Microsoft can keep Windows relevant. Fortunately, one of them declined and Xavier was asked to step in . Bazinga!

Ha, I kid because I love. But seriously, it is pretty cool that our very own Xavier Lanier is occupying the same thought space as Robert Scoble, Mary-Jo Foley, Ed Bott, and several others in the know. Of course, as publisher of both Notebooks.com and GottaBeMobile.com, X is no slouch in...

Apple is set to announce its quarterly earnings today, and is expected to present good results on all fronts today. As usual, Ars plans to cover the fiscal results before the call starts at 5pm Eastern.

In the past, we have written a separate post covering the highlights of the call, but we thought we would try something new this time around. We're going to do our best to record every utterance fromTim Cook's and Peter Oppenheimer's mouths by liveblogging the call...

I love tabbed windows and I use them everywhere I can, whether instant messaging in iChat to hoarding sites in Safari. Now you can get tabbed windows in Mac OS Xs Finder! TotalFinder is a really cool app that brings full tab functionality to the Mac desktop, allowing you to not only create tabs of Finder windows, but also the ability to drag and drop files into the tabs (and thus, the folder), and you can create a new tab by just dragging a directory to the tab bar!

The lithium-ion battery on the iPhone 3GS promises a good amount of talk and Internet usage time on the 3G network at about five hours on a single charge.

But if you have too many cords around your desk or youre out on the road, you could try getting an extra power-up from the wireless Case-Mate Hug .

The Case-Mate Hug includes an aluminum-shaded, form-fitting iPhone case and a charging pad, where the case is placed to receive power via magnetic strips. Of course,...

The Election Defense Alliance (EDA), an election integrity watchdog group, has launched a public review of the accidentally leaked source code that powers Sequoia electronic voting machines. Though still in its initial stages, the review has already uncovered evidence indicating that the voting machines are programmed in a manner that falls afoul of rules and guidelines established by the Federal Election Commission.

Sequoia generally goes to great lengths to block independent review of its technology. For example, the company used legal threats last year in an effort to...

Samsung have updated their Go ultraportable collection with their new Samsung Go N315 netbook. Seen as an upgrade from the N310 that broke cover one year ago, the new Go N315 features Intels new Pine Trail technology as it runs on an Atom N450 processor, has 1GB of RAM and a built-in Intel GMA 3150 graphics cards.

Coming with the same pebble smooth design that made its sibling so attractive, Samsung Go N315 gets a chiclet style keyboard the same 10.1 inch LCD display (1024 x 600 resolution). Theres...

Sony Ericssons new Android-based phone interface, like those from other cellphone manufacturers, integrates Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and other social networking services into one unified portal on your portable. The difference is that Sony Ericssons interface UXP, formerly known as Rachael actually looks useful.

The company plans to launch a slew of new Android-based phones this year. Top of the list is the Xperia X10 which confusingly carries the same codename that UXP used to have: Rachael. Its a device with a 4-inch touchscreen, a 1-GHz Snapdragon processor and 8.1 megapixel...

Even through Sonys most recent network debacle and its constant search for profitability , research firm Strategic Analytics believes that the companys Playstation 3 will rise up to dominate the ever-heated console wars in terms of lifetime units sold.

Strategy Analytics predicted that Sony will sell 127 million units over the course of the consoles life, although the Wii will still lead the PS3 in terms of annual sales. PCMag also says that the recent report also predicts that Nintendo will sell 103 million Wiis over the...

Hey everybody! Jerry here again for our weekly get-together. I hope everyone survived another crazy week of things like data outages and Eris leaks . And Droid users, don't fret your time is coming soon, I'll bet.

Like so many of its services, Googles so-called New Approach to China appears to be in perpetual beta. Though Google (GOOG) has said repeatedly that it is in discussions with Chinese officials about its plans to end censorship of its search results in the country, the Chinese govenment claims Google hasnt yet initiated any such talks . Over the weekend, Vice Minister Miao Wei of Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) told Xinhua, a state-run news agency, that [Google] never informed the ministry that it was planning to withdraw...

A design group in Denver thought it was finally time to put Internet Explorer 6 to rest, holding a mock funeral for the outdated Microsoft browser last night. It was 8 years old.

Apparently, IE6 died from a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. (Sounds like a hit job to me) Event organizers suggested funeral attire, but added that there would also be a tapas bar. That seems more like it for a tech event.

Microsoft showed they have a sense of...

When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPad on Jan. 27 , he said it would be available in 60 days, implying an on-sale date of March 25. By announcing a pre-sale date of March 12, as it did this morning , the company has technically fulfilled that promiseyet it is not delivering the device to customers until April 3, about a week later.

If the ship date was to be April 3, why didnt Jobs say so at the January event?

Obviously, its...

Remember Microsofts Project Pink phone , rumored to be headed to Verizon? It looks like there are actually two handsets that Microsoft wants to launch via the largest North American carrier one codenamed Turtle and another one codenamed Pure (and no, its not AT&Ts HTC Pure ).

The Turtle is a vertical slider with a full QWERTY keyboard, while the Pure is a horizontal slider, also with a full QWERTY keyboard.

Both devices seem to have advanced social networking features and, according to Gizmodo , they might be launched by Verizon as...

Apple announced Friday that the first iPads will be available on April 3 and that the long-awaited device will be available for pre-order on March 12. The launch is for the Wi-Fi-only version, with the 3G-enabled device on sale later in the month.

The late-April release of the 3G version will also coincide with rollout of both models in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the U.K., Apple said .

Apple thoughtfully picked a Saturday for the debut, so fewer early adopters will have to make...

If youre tired of having your Dock full of thumbnailed versions of minimized windows, you can change the Docks minimize behavior with a simple Terminal command that will minimize windows into the parent applications Dock icon. You can then tell which windows are minimized by looking for the diamond next to the window name (see screenshot). This is very helpful in particular if youre working with a limited screen resolution, or if you have a Dock that is loaded to the brim with applications and folders.

Mary Jo Foley is reporting that Microsoft is getting ready to show off a sort of mobile version of Microsoft Surface, that Microsoft is calling Mobile Surface. This is being shown at an employee-0nly Microsoft Research showcase, but some reporters have seen it in action.

The idea is to hook up a mobile phone with a camera and projector. The screen is projected onto a table top and a user can then use hand gestures to control it. Supposedly it not only recognizes gestures in a lateral manner, but also can...

Im going to let the numbers do most of the talking here so this will be short and sweet. When T-Mobile originally launched the TouchPro2 , it was understandably met by a large number of detractors who were taken back by the $349.99 price . T-Mobile seemingly took that lesson to heart and this time is introducing their next Windows Phone powerhouse with a much more agreeable price, $199.99 after rebate. At the moment, we cant verify what the exact dollar amount of the...

Back in 1982, Clint Eastwood flew Firefox, an airplane that had thought-controlled weapons. That was a movie (based on a pretty good book ), and the plane cost millions of dollars. Now, for real, you can control a computer with your thoughts and feelings for just $300.

I am glad to announce that the first official release of PSUnit is now available for download on Codeplex http://www.psunit.org/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx . This release is a fully functional unit testing framework that lets you write and execute unit tests in PowerShell. It also provides a nice test result reporting feature. The Beta release is missing some convenience features, like an automatic deployment of an PowerShell module. Instead there are a few manual steps required to deploy the framework successfully. To increase the usability in the near future...

It looks like RIM is getting ready to launch a BlackBerry smartphone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard in the vein of the Palm Pre.

There arent any official details about this at the moment, but BGR says the new BlackBerry slider will feature Wi-Fi 802.11n, and a 360 x 480 pixels display, most probably touch-sensitive. It will run BlackBery 6.0 OS which seems to be that new touch and Web-friendly OS that weve heard about not long ago.

Reportedly, the unannounced RIM smartphone is a...

Dells Mini 5 is just the first tablet the company are planning to release, and the Apple iPad is basically their target. Thats the message from Neeraj Choubey, general manager of Dells tablet division, who has confirmed that the Mini 5 will be one of a family of tablets, and hes also suggested that the company is working with carriers to push for low-cost data package plans similar to what Apple has negotiated .

The first one is a 5-inch screen but we want...

While European users are happy to know that HTC is going to debut most of their MWC smartphones in the next few weeks, the US is still wondering when theyll be able to play with the companys latest devices.
