We’ve some news on the app store that Meizu
announced for the M8 a while back. The official name is apparently MStore, and it is indeed open for business with its first paid app, Mr. Jelly, going for about 29 cents (we believe it’s a productivity tool for managing your, um, jelly). If that sounds familiar, it is — the game is a port of an iPhone App Store gem. Regardless of its somewhat KIRFish nature, we do wish Meizu (its app developers) all the best. Now, when are we going to get Super Monkey Ball for this thing?

Did you know that using a cell phone for more than 4-hours per day reduces your sperm count by up to 25%? Or, that it can be used to track nuclear bombs? Well, you’ll find those facts and more after the break.

The first week of March may have brought warmer weather and an awesome episode of the
Engadget Show, but unfortunately we’re still missing a
Spring Design Alex pre-order page. The company had promised to have its dual-screen, 3.5-inch Android and 6-inch e-ink e-Reader ready last week after the
original February delay, but we’ve now been told that there were some slight issues with the order page and that it should be up within the “next week or two,” and Spring Design still plans to have the reader in customer’s hand’s by “early spring.” We’ve got no choice but to wait, but we can tell you we are looking forward to this whole spring thing in general.

Called the Opera Mobile Designer Suite, this pop-up camper is more luxury mini house than your standard trailer. Featuring a “ceramic toilet, electrically adjustable beds, water heater, hot air heater and low-energy LED floor lighting.” Continue reading for one more picture.
But the Opera clearly isn’t targeted at teens looking to earn their fire starting badge, but for people who want a well-appointed “holiday home” that they have the ability to literally take anywhere.

We don’t see too many Gigabyte phones in these parts, but all indications seem to suggest that the company is throwing in with Android for future handset releases (which is what we would advocate, if it ever asked us — which it doesn’t). As we wait eagerly for the
GSmart Android phone to make its debut, which should happen any second now (right, guys?) we’ve word of a second Donut-powered device with the oh-so-unappealing name Codfish. According to
PointGPhone, this bad boy is of “good manufacturing quality,” “very responsive,” and counts among its many charms a 3.2-inch display and 5 megapixel camera. We’re just hoping that Codfish is either a codename or translates into something
really bad-ass in Mandarin.

EA has
already said that it was able to get 3D games up and running on webOS in a “matter of weeks” using the OS’
PDK (or Plug-in Development Kit), but it looks like Palm might be ready to step things up even further at
GDC next week. While any official word will have to wait until then, John Paczkowski of
AllThingsD states that he’s heard from sources close to the company that Palm will be now demonstrating how iPhone apps can be ported to webOS “in a matter of days,” and with virtually no degradation in performance. Not much more to go on that at the moment, unfortunately, but you can be sure we’ll be there at GDC to how this and anything else Palm might have in store pans out.

It seems to us that if you indulge in mobile video from time to time, you’re either lugging around a device with a decent display size (netbook, tablet, whatevs) or more likely than not you’re watching your
Britain’s Got Talent! clips on a handset — either solution is obviously less than ideal. What if we told you that Motorola has filed a patent application for a “Reconfigurable Multiple-Screen Display”? This technology will essentially let you configure multiple devices for use as one huge display: Instead of lugging around your Thinkpad or suffering the indignity of watching postage stamp-sized video on your
Droid you can simply and conveniently carry four phones around. Why didn’t we think of that?

Whether it be Mountain Dew, BAWLS, or any other type of energy drink, there’s always that one beverage every geek needs to keep him/her awake into the wee hours. Here’s one drink you may not of heard of: Pepsi Fire (cinnamon flavored) and Ice (mint flavored) was released in China only during 2006.

For the average geek like us, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a gadget skillfully torn apart by its creator. That’s why we’re slightly envious of Engadget Chinese, who saw Sony VAIO Z Series project leader, Takamitsu Kasai, explaining the differences between the old and new VAIO Z literally part by part. Hightlights include Sony’s proprietary Quad SSD (so not user-upgradable, sadly), a redesigned heatsink to accommodate the new chips’ higher TDP (thermal design power), and various features of the “one-piece milled aluminum” and “hybrid carbon” chassis. Of course, all we really care about are photos of the naked VAIO Z, so go ahead and gorge yourselves after the jump.
