Cobalt Pocketwatch Gadget Concept Revolutionizes Foppery

Jason Chen — Thu, 29 May 2008 17:20:00 EDT

Even before wrist watches—and now cellphones—replaced the pocket watch in the everyman's wardrobe, pulling something out of a pocket and flipping over a cover just to tell the time was known to be inconvenient. (Wait, isn't that how cellphones work now?) This Cobalt concept, on the other hand, improves the pocket watch by shoving a small computer inside, letting you get temperature, your email, the time, the date, text messages and all kinds of nonsensical crap inside. Yeah, the interface is a bit cluttered, but the idea of shoving a connected PDA inside a pocket watch is something we could get behind—that is if our cellphones didn't already do the same thing.

Nintendo DS Lite Now in Black and Blue, We Think It's the Sexiest One Yet

Benny Goldman — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:45:16 EST

Circuit City has a cobalt blue/black DS Lite for preorder on their website. Considering three minutes have passed since the last time the DS got a costume change, this makes perfect sense to us. No word on the release date, but as always, it's $130. Get it now to complete your collection and make Nintendo a few more dollars. [Circuit City] —Thanks, Klaus!

Rumormill: PSP2, Codename Cobalt, Pictures, Details Leaked

Travis Hudson — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:43:00 EST

This brick-looking device is supposedly the PSP2. I honestly think it is just another mock-up produced by some bored graphic designer out there. This mock-up comes with some information: apparently the PSP2 is codenamed Cobalt (yes, like a less-than-stellar Chevy vehicle) and has a fairly decent spec list.

• All Metal & Ruggedized Rubber Build
• 200% Brighter Screen
• Dual Analog Controllers
• Visual Battery Display
• 8GB Flash Drive
• Wifi (a,b,g)
• Bluetooth V.2 (A2DP, AVRCP)
• Firmware 4.07

I'll go ahead and call BS on this, but maybe there could be some validity to the spec list. –Travis Hudson

These Koss Cobalt headphones look like the perfect headphones for travel, as long as you're not traveling on a plane. The around-the-ear style headphones fold up for easy storage, and come with a USB dongle for your computer and a headphone dongle for your non-Bluetooth MP3 player.

The Cobalt allows you to go up to 30-feet away from the transmitter, and has a battery life of 8 hours. It's available for $179 and has Koss's "Lifetime Warranty". – Jason Chen
