Though not quite as bad as toting the GPS module around with you, one particular marijuana farmer had to be mighty embarrassed / wondering what he ever did to deserve such bad luck when a GPS-equipped turtle meandered into his crop. As the story goes, a close friend of the police — a box turtle with no fear of Big Brother — just happened upon a pot stash on US park property. Clearly, Mr. Isiah Johnson (the culprit) was heavily stoned when choosing US land to farm his ganja, and now he’s in custody until he’s “extradited back DC to face drug charges.” And you thought all you had to do was dodge those CCTV cameras…

Hands-on with the Blusens G01 satellite imagery GPSFrom: dailygadget.info

We were pretty stoked about the Blusens G-series PMPs that overlay guidance information on Google Maps satellite imagery when we first heard about them in October, and now Spanish site Xataka has a hands-on video with the G01, which appears to be just as impressive as we’d hoped. The satellite maps automatically appear when available for the area you’re in, and Xataka says the unit itself is quite fast. Sadly, there isn’t a ton more detail in the...

So try and put yourself in a Ferrari owner’s shoes, if just for a moment. You’re filthy rich; likely too rich for your own good, and possibly rich enough to have extraordinarily eccentric taste. What phone’s in your pocket? A mere commoner’s Motorola Z8 ? Of course not — odds are you’re sporting a Vertu or two — but Moto is hoping to keep you in the fold with a specially ...

It looks like T-Mobile had a change of heart about the coloring of its next 3G device — Samsung’s t819 slider — after it hit the FCC recently, changing from a rather lovely medium blue to “coffee brown.” That got us to thinking: does a phone have to go back through the FCC when it changes color? Probably not; in fact, we can think of plenty of examples to the contrary. That seems a litt...
more Another version of the HTC Neon gets in the mixFrom: dailygadget.info

Remember that NEON100 we spied via the FCC’s loose lips a few weeks back? Turns out there’s at least one more version of the Touch variant being prepped — but this time, the info comes from another famously leaky source, the Bluetooth SIG. Details are extraordinarily slim here since we don’t even have the benefit of an RF test report, but we do know that it’ll support Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (seeing how t...
