The curtain has come off the mysterious TabCo and its equally mysterious tablet. At an unveiling today, TabCo revealed itself as a parody company. Tabco is actually Fusion Garage, makers of the ill-fated JooJoo tablet, who are back in the tablet market with the Grid 10.

AT&T LG Thrill 4G delayed again, Sept. 4 new date from leaked docs

By , 16 August, 2011, No Comment

Thrill 4G delayed

The LG Thrill 4G, AT&T’s next (hopefully) Android smartphone has once again been delayed, this time the date is pushed back until September 4.  As mentioned in the document you see above, the Thrill was to ship to third party stores (in this case, Radio Shack) on August 21, but that’s not going to be happening. 

We have no idea why the phone keeps being delayed, but it’s something we’re used to by now.  There’s also the small matter that AT&T never announced a release date, only "this Summer".  It will be released when it’s ready.  Hopefully the extra time means a better product out the door.

Thanks, Anon!

MacBook Pro prototype spotted with 3G modem

By , 16 August, 2011, No Comment

Apple has yet to release a MacBook with an integrated 3G modem, but that doesn’t mean the company hasn’t toyed with the idea. A 2007 15-inch MacBook Pro has surfaced on eBay with a built-in 3G antenna and a SIM-card slot. The seller says he or she originally purchased the 3G-capable MacBook Pro “for parts,” from a former Apple engineer and said “it was immediately clear this was no normal MacBook Pro.” The machine’s SIM card slot is still recognized by OS X 10.6.8 Leopard but the seller has been unable to get the data connection working properly, and noted that “it’s entirely possible it never worked.” The high bid for the one-of-a-kind MacBook Pro was $11,211.11 at the time of this writing. Read on for a few more images.
