HTC Touch Diamond Gets Classy Desktop Dock, Headphones

The HTC Touch Diamond is pretty classy already, but this desktop cradle/desktop dock gives it a nice house on your desk for it to sleep and dock. From the looks of it, it's even got earbuds and a 3.5mm jack for you to connect to a set of speakers as well. The footprint looks slightly large compared to say, an iPhone dock, but we can throw some crap on the floor to make room. [Clove via Tracy and Matt via Tech Digest]

Dell Introduces Their Smallest, Greenest PC Yet

Michael Dell, the king of Dell, just previewed his company's smallest and greenest desktop PC yet at FORTUNE Brainstorm: GREEN. There's no name for this mini green PC, shown rendered above, but it's 81% smaller than a mini tower and 70% less energy-consuming. It's also shipped in recycled and recyclable packaging, and look a whole lot like those cheapo Sun workstations that colleges love(d) to use. As long as this machine is at least as powerful as a laptop (we don't mean an Eee PC), we're all for Dell's enviro-conscious direction.

Cat Desktop Bed Is a Good Idea, But Cats Will Never Go For It

Our resident cat expert, Mark Wilson, tells me that cats will never go for this desktop cat bed. It's not that it's a bad idea—a clamp-on bed so your cat can sit close to your hands, but not close enough to mash keys on your keyboard—but it's just impractical. Mark claims his cat loves jumping in his arm, his hands and his stomach whenever he's doing work. This bed would just give the cat a little perch to leap off. Just look at the cat's eye language. It's saying, "watch out bitch, here I come." [The Refined Feline via DVICE via Oh Gizmo via Geekologie via MAKE]

The Stackable, Smackable Lego Desktop Calendar

Ok, it may not be an officially licensed product, but the term Lego-esque certainly applies to this desktop calendar. In true Lego style, the sections can be stacked and configured into any pattern you choose—and changing the date is as simple as smacking the top of each brick. And we all know that relieving some stress by smacking something at the office can be good thing...except when it is a face and/or ass. Available for around $27 US.

Asus Eee Desktop PC EP20 Images Leaked

We brought you news about the Eee Desktop PC EP20 a little while back, but it looks like the chaps at Hot Hardware have managed to get hold of some shots of the final, production line models. Unfortunately, they aren't willing to cite their source, but they are willing to say that the images "are indeed shots of an Asus Eee PC Desktop product that should be arriving to market some time in the next quarter or so." From what we have previously seen, the EP20 isn't quite as small as a Mac Mini, but we're still liking the design. The bubbly pattern on the side of the white edition just makes us all fizzy with excitement. We can't wait. [Hot Hardware]

Eee PC Touchscreen Coming This Summer, Asus Confirms

Asus' president of sales, Kevin Lin, has announced the upcoming 8.9-inch Eee PC will have a touchscreen incorporated. Lin also speculated that the device may have GPS functionality, too, however this was not confirmed. The announcement has us a little confused, as earlier reports suggested otherwise. Still, Lin went on to say the expected starting price for an 8.9-inch touchscreen toting Eee will be around $500, and he also added that the Eee Desktop PC will begin retailing at the $199 mark. Put that in your Eee PC news pipe and puff it. [DigiTimes]

Latest by SpyderMS: @pagercam: size and weight are two of the biggest selling points. I was going to add Touchscreen, BlueTooth, and a BlueTooth GPS to my future 8.9" Eee, and that would cost considerably more than $50-$100, and be far more impractical. more »

Everex gPC Reviewed...Again (Verdict: Horrible)

Thought that the $200 Everex gPC was too good (and cheap) to be true? Did an earlier, positive review from Wired only serve to pique your interest? Unfortunately, a recent review by PC Magazine may bring many Wal-Mart shoppers crashing to the earth. According to their review, the gPC is" one of those PCs you buy as a gift for the holidays and return to the store in January." So what went wrong? More »

Aircraft Mouse Blends Comfort, Looks, and LEDs

There are plenty of unique looking computer mice on the market, but few look as interesting (and ergonomic) as this Aircraft Mouse with flashing LED lights. It is only sporting an 800dpi optical sensor, so it is far from being a true "top gun" of the peripheral world, but it definitely will earn a few style points —if you can get your hands on it that is. No pricing details are available and it appears that the design was a limited run. [Design Town via GeekAlerts]

Dell XPS One A2010 Leaked by the FCC, Reveals Optional TV Tuner and AV Input

Give a little wave to the XPS One A2010 from Dell, which got its first outing on the FCC website. The FCC also posted Dell's system manual on their site, which reveals that the A2010 contains an optional TV tuner. What else do we know? It's a fairly good-looking Asustek-manufactured desktop with Intel Core 2 Duo, 1000:1 contrast LCD and a 3.5-inch, with a maximum 300GB, HDD, and an optional TV tuner. Take a closer look at the gallery and the stats below.

Robot Webcam Watches Disapprovingly At Your Desk Antics

Robot webcams are all the rage nowadays, and this USB Robot doesn't look to stir up the waters with "innovation." It's got a a low-quality VGA-ish camera (350k pixels) along with lights for eyes. The same eyes that look in disapproving horror at what you're doing at your desk right now. You should be ashamed of yourself. [Akihabara]

Soonr Lets You Remotely Access Your Desktop from the iPhone


Unlike VNC clients where you actually control the desktop from the iPhone, Soonr is offering a web-based AJAX web app that lets you access parts of your desktop instead. What's better about this approach is that the UI is customized for the iPhone display, so there's little scrolling around to find the thing you want. More »

Samsung Spins Out Twin Burners For Desktops and Laptops: With Gallery

Two burners from Samsung today, one of which claims to be the world's fastest burner at 20x. The SH-S203 is a Serial ATA burner that supports DVD+R/-R, DVD+R and every other CD/DVD format (including DVD-RAM). The most notable feature, obviously, is its 20x DVD+R and DVD-R burning, but DVD-RAMs burn at 12x, DVD+R DL burn at 16Xx, and DVD-R DL burns at 12x. More »

Parallels 3.0 Supports 3D Windows Gaming, SmartSelect

One of the main reasons why Mac users still use Boot Camp to run Windows Natively instead using virtualization software like Parallels is its lack of 3D gaming (OpenGL and DirectX) support. In Parallels Desktop version 3.0, now in final candidate development, you can finally use 3D gaming without rebooting. More »

Desktop Batting Machine is Office-Appropriate

Desktop trebuchet a little dull? Try this desktop pitching machine on for size. It includes 12 soft miniature balls and a collapsible bat. And I thought I was risking my job tweaking my baseball fantasy league at the office; how about an actual game of baseball? Show me one office where a person could get away with this and I will be quitting Gizmodo in a heartbeat. $25. –Travis Hudson More »

Microsoft's traditional ergonomic keyboard design (as opposed to their slim Ultimate Wireless design) this Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 combines has both lasers and Vista buttons. We've used previous versions of this keyboard (the optical 3000) and love both the soft-ish keys and the spread-out ergonomics. More »

Microsoft WED 8000 Keyboard Pushed Back to September

If you were looking forward to getting your hands on a Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 this summer, we have some bad news. Microsoft's just told us they're pushing back the release date to September, which means your only choice now is to go with the $100 cheaper 7000, which is just about as good if all you care about is how it types. – Jason Chen More »
