Sure, we’ve seen a lot of product announcements from Hop-on accompanied by janky product renders over the years — but we’ve never seen an actual Hop-on phone, so we’re a little skeptical of the company’s promise this morning to release an Android phone at CES this year. What’s more, it’s supposed to come in under $200, which is right in character for a manufacturer whose major claim to fame is the “disposable” cell phone, we suppose. We’ll see if such a phone actually appears at the show — Hop-on boldly says this mythical device will make it “competitive in the high-end phone market,” which is probably sending shock waves through the offices of HTC, Apple, and RIM as we speak.

We had the chance to get hands-on with Samsung’s WiBro-lovin’ SWT-W100k back at CES in January. Judging by the arrival of the product waifs, the 4.3-inch, WVGA touchscreen PMP now looks to be getting an official coming-out party in its native S.Korea. €341 takes the little all-purpose device with GPS, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 8GB of internal flash, and DMB mobile television home on a yet to be determined date. VoIP client, personal organizer, and web browser? Sure, that too. No word on the processor choice but it’s definitely not running any flavor of Microsoft OS. With any luck, Samsung will bring a US-specced variant capable of running on Sprint’s XOHM service later this year. Video refresher posted after the break.Continue reading Samsung’s SWT-W100K WiBro PMP gets official, priced

It’s not like we haven’t seen MP3-playing headphones before — heck, we’ve even seen ‘em from SkullCandy itself — but the latest pair from the aforementioned firm simplifies things quite a bit. Quietly showcased at CES, the Double Agent cans sport a built-in SD slot and the typical assortment of controls on one earcup in order to take the external DAP / PMP out of the equation entirely. ‘Course, we wouldn’t recommend this to those who aren’t fond of just shuffling through their tracks, but if you’re aiming to consolidate, you can get one step closer to doing just that when this ships in March / April for a currently undisclosed price.

Hard to believe, but the 150,000 some-odd people that flooded into Vegas for CES have all gone home — including your Engadget editors. Sure, it wasn’t the most exciting CES in recent memory, but it wasn’t without merit, either. Why, just think of the eight thousand HDTVs announced, blockbuster format war news, or iriver’s unexpectedly show-stealing lineup. One thing’s certainly for sure: you demanded we give wall-to-wall coverage of CES, and we’d like to hope we did you right. See you at CES 2009 — and every day in between!

Sony’s been certainly making strides in its DAP lineup this year, and this here is just further proof of its success: a cheap knockoff version of the NW-A800. We’ve got nothing in the way of specs, other than the “Digital MP4 Player” title, which we’re guessing means exactly what it says. Look how convenient that record button is, folks! Another shot (which we spotted at an entirely different distributer) is after the break.Continue reading Keepin’ it real fake, CES edition: Sony’s NW-A800 has a secret admirer

All we have to do now, is take these lies, and make them true somehow.
