Engadget's New York City meetup wrap-up!

www.engadget.com Brian Heater 170 days ago

Wow. Thank you, New York City! We had a blast at last night's reader meetup, and judging from everyone we spoke to, a Roseland Ballroom packed full of Gotham gadget geeks had a grand 'ole time as well. Twelve lucky readers walked away with a Samsung Galaxy Note II on Sprint and nearly 30 people took home house cleaning bots from the folks at iRobot -- not to mention the Nook tablets, Oakley Airwave goggles and VestGuard UK Ballistic bulletproof case and iPad, to name but a few. We tested readers' tech (and Wu Tang) knowledge and dancing and singing skills. There were booths from Sprint, Sams... Read similar

electronics manufacturer

Hon Hai Precision, better known as Foxconn, is already the world's largest electronics manufacturer. Chances are if you've got a laptop, console or smartphone it was assembled in one of the company's many Chinese factories. The giant has also gotten quite cozy with Sharp, with an eye towards investing directly in the LCD market, though no deal has been made official. Now the company is dipping its toes in the camera business, by purchasing an 8.88-percent stake in GoPro for $200 million. GoPro is best known for its rugged shooters used by shows like MythBusters, oh, and the Engadget Show! Th... Read similar

Mophie Outride review: action-cam case for iPhone can't replace dedicated shooters

www.engadget.com Darren Murph 93 days ago

Over the years, Mophie has become synonymous with extending the iPhone's battery life. The outfit's range of battery-filled iPhone cases has garnered rave reviews across the industry, and even I religiously used one on an iPhone 3G. In more recent days, the company has cautiously expanded into a few new areas -- namely, building battery cases for non-Apple phones, and creating the contraption shown above. The Mophie Outride is an action-cam case that's designed to be strapped onto helmets, automobile hoods and any other place where your average X Games wannabe would look to capture extreme s...

How GoPro Created a Billion Dollar Empire

feeds.mashable.com Lauren Hockenson 77 days ago

For those who are uninitiated, cameras are fickle pieces of technology. A truly high-end video camera that can support HD-quality graphics is an expensive endeavor, and one that often inhibits a filmmaker to take real risks with shooting. Who wants to strap a $2,000 video camera to the handles of a bike or the helmet of a rock climber?A small, durable and low-cost camera that produced killer footage was the goal for Nick Woodman, CEO of GoPro. So, he developed a prototype and strapped it onto his surfboard — and a success story was born."GoPro started as an old 35mm disposable, one-use w... Read similar

This GoPro Camera Shows What It’s Like to be Lion’s Prey

feeds.mashable.com Neha Prakash 115 days ago

Just as expected -- when a lion walks toward you, it's equally menacing and adorable. But this GoPro Camera had to learn that the hard way. When the camera's owner spotted this lion in Kenya, he strapped his GoPro 2 onto a $60 toy car and drove it slowly toward the adolescent male. SEE ALSO: A Dog's Life: GoPro Camera Shows Canine's Point-of-ViewAt first, the lion only pawed at it, but after a few moments it decided that this futuristic E.T. thing was clearly the enemy and lunged appropriately.

LAS VEGAS -- If there was a trend at CES 2013, it was 4K. Every major TV manufacturer announced at least one TV with 4K resolution, and some unveiled several. Not many addressed the main issue with the new "Ultra HD" format, however: the lack of content.Sony was one of the few who did, and the company's chief operating officer, Phil Molyneux, told Mashable in an interview how customers of its 4K TVs will be able to get content in native 4K."We wanted to deliver a native 4K experience," Molyneux says, "so we put together a media server, and we worked with Sony Pictures, and we remastered 10 tit...
