Archos trots out Android-based DECT home phone, 35 Home Connect radio

They're hardly as exciting as the company's two new Android 3.1 tablets, but if you're looking for Android in even more places, look no further. Also being unveiled today is the '35 Home Connect'. It's a self-proclaimed Android web radio that should do wonders by your bedside, or kickin' it on the beach. You heard right — there's a built-in battery here, as well as WiFi access to over 50,000 web radio stations.
You'll also find a touch panel, pre-loaded TuneIn application and an alarm clock function that brings together traffic, weather and whatever's happening in your neck of the woods.

Apple product managers respond to Final Cut Pro X criticism, updates on the way

Apple product managers respond to Final Cut Pro X criticism, updates on the way

When Apple launched their new Final Cut Pro X last week, Apple boasted about the product's low price, media management, and ground-up redesign. Unfortunately, when starting from scratch, developers seem to have overlooked a few features that professional users have come to depend on, prompting widespread backlash — both on internet forums and even on Apple's own App Store, where the $300 download-only app currently has a rating of just 2.5 stars (out of five), including nearly 500 one-star ratings.

AutoWed wedding machine eliminates the need for a priest

AutoWed wedding machine eliminates the need for a priest

If you'd like to get married in the future, we might not need a priest anymore. The folks over at Concept Shed recently came up with a very interesting machine called the AutoWed: a novelty contraption that performs the role of a priest in a marriage. Users input their particulars, press the appropriate buttons on the machine to make their decisions, and get wed by the machines. It even gives the couple the rings they need just in case they haven't got any yet. It's that simple.

No long recitations of vows or listening to all the superfluous talk - just getting straight to the point.

Swype now available for Windows Phone 7

Swype now available for Windows Phone 7

In the Android realm, Swype has been life-changing for many; of course, reverting back to the messaging ways of old has been a must when jumping ship to WP7. Now, gesture tracing crosses the aisle, and it's hopping over to Microsoft's turf courtesy of Invoke IT's Sliding Keyboard. With the look of the regular ol' WP7 keyboard, this set of arm floaties records the user tracing out text, just like ex-Android fans are accustomed to. The company goes a bit further by offering a pair of goggles — in the form of Bing search, text messaging and email options along the bottom of the app.
