Internet radios aren't anything new, but Sanyo's putting its own spin on things with the WiFi-packin' R227. Aside from offering standard FM reception, this tabletop device also tunes into thousands of internet stations / podcasts, and it enables listeners to search by country or genre. You'll also find a pair of stereo speakers, one-button on / off, a bundled remote, an Ethernet jack, auxiliary input for DAPs and an audio output for connecting to larger, more robust sound systems. For now, it seems the unit will be exclusive to Canada where it will be offered in a black wood gloss finish for $219.99.

Engadget: US Mobile DTV standard finally approved

Posted by on under video demand, heartening news, system committee, new signal, fri, video wireless, televi, statis, rollout, nbsp, samsung |

Well freaking finally. The Advanced Television System Committee just approved the Mobile DTV standard, meaning we're finally about to see for-real mobile television in the US. LG and Samsung have already made gear for the new standard, and the tech will be demoed later today before a rollout... sometime. Still, it's heartening news to hear that it's finally ready -- over 800 stations are signed up to broadcast the new signal, which makes use of existing 6MHz airwaves to do everything from straight TV to video-on-demand and targeted advertising. Cool, so now we're what, just a billion years behind DVB adoption?

Digg: The Secret Story of the Soviet Star Wars Project

Posted by on under star wars project, soviet star, statis, launch, bd, star wars, satellite |

It sounds like something from a James Bond movie: a massive satellite, the largest ever launched, equipped with a powerful laser to take out the American anti-missile shield in advance of a Soviet first strike. This was the launch that saved the world from orbiting laser battle stations.

Engadget: Qisda-sourced 'multimedia router' hits the FCC

Posted by on under amp nbsp, chumby, wireless router, clock radio, internal memory, access media, statis, test reports, fm radio, local network, internet radio, fcc, mash, many things, email, photos |

Ever wish your wireless router was more than just a router? So have the folks at Qisda, apparently, who have come up with this wild concoction of a device that certainly does many things and may or may not actually do any of them well. Sort of like a less huggable, less rollable mash-up of a Chumby and a Rolly, this touchscreen-equipped, speaker-packing "router" will let you view YouTube vidoes, tune into internet radio stations (or FM radio, for that matter), access media stored on its internal memory (but not your local network, it seems), and even double as a clock radio, to name a few features. Oh, and as a router it'll do 802.11n, but packs just one spare Ethernet port. Of course, all of this news comes to us courtesy of the FCC, which means there's no details on things like price or availability, but there are plenty of less than flattering pics, dissection photos, and test reports. Hit up the link below to dive in.

Digg: 10-yr-old's Jesus picture declared too disturbing for church

Posted by on under kid brother, roman soldiers, statis, digg, elders, police officer, jesus, photo |

The elders at Ecclesia Church were expecting something tame from Jackson Potts II for their annual Stations of the Cross art display.Instead, the 10-year-old produced a photo of his kid brother being beaten by a police officer. Jackson says it's a modern-day interpretation of Roman soldiers beating Jesus.
