Well done. Crispy. Almost burnt. Oh, and a cafe au lait, please. Thanks.

Oh, and the egg is a pouch. How cute is that? Perhaps enough to pay $35 for it. [Etsy via Walyou]

<![CDATA[Creative Zii Egg Android PMP Makes Its Hands-On Debut]]> Creative's Zii, which is either an extremely exciting platform for Android PMPs or a boring developers' tool (nobody knows!) has turned up in CNET Asia's offices. As you can imagine, it didn't take long before they got a little handsy.

Like Creative's introduction video before it, CNET's hands-on is more about seeing the hardware than showing off new features—this is the same Android we've been using since last year, after all. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on inside the Egg—720p video playback support by means of on in-house chip, promises of long battery life, the expandable storage potential—but most of this isn't apparent in a short demo like this.

What we're left with is an attractive piece of hardware that is just begging to live out its destiny as the first mainstream Android PMP, but which Creative can't seem to make up its mind about, at least publicly. The Zii really looks like a consumer products, from its styling to its specs, and I'd love or Creative to take it to market, or to sell the design to someone else to do the same. But even though it seems obvious that such a product would represent the first real competitor to the iPod Touch, their line, still, is that this is for developers, and that the "platform" could be available to manufacturers, though apparently, not this specific piece of hardware. Whether they're just tied up in their own words or this is really their plan, there's a market gap that needs filling, and the Zii looks like it could fill it. Click through for video. [CNET Asia]

<![CDATA[Creative Zii Egg Plaszma: Android-Wielding iPod Touch]]> Spotted in a recent FCC filing, the now-revealed Creative Zii Egg Plaszma boasts some of the world's first "flexible StemCell architecture" that uses 24 floating-point processors. But you may care more because it's basically an open source iPod Touch.

Being seeded to developers as part of a $399 SDK (final units are expected to ship in bulk at $199), the Zii Egg Plaszma is an Android-friendly "handheld computer" that's like an iPod touch beefed up with more than a few popular requests.

You navigate the platform through a 3.5" 320x480, 10-point capacitive multitouch screen. From there, you can access the rear facing HD video camera, front facing live chat VGA camera, 32GB of integrated storage with SDHC card expansion, Flash Lite support, GPS, Wi-Fi and, oh right, it's powerful enough to output 1080P video.

Of course, its greatest asset, the option to run the open Android OS (the company offers its own Plaszma OS but that's a bit less exciting), means that the hardware begins to resemble a smartphone without the phone. And I'm surprised on a daily basis that anyone is still buying big iPods that can't make phone calls. [ZiiLabs via GeekyGadgets]

<![CDATA[Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Abused by Britney Spears in New Video]]> Thanks to about a million tips, I've been forced to sit through the new Britney Spears music video for "Womanizer" because the flashy Nokia 5800 XpressMusic 'Tube' makes an appearance. The phone is used to take a picture of a ridiculously be-wigged Britney before she violently attacks the photographer and slams his face into a photocopier, sending the poor phone flying. But that's not the end of the technology in the video!

I won't get into any depth on the song, because this is Gizmodo and when a song only has two words and both of them are "womanizer," it's tough to glean any gadget connection. But the Nokia first makes an appearance at breakfast, when Britney's antagonist checks his calendar to see what kind of womanizing he'll get up to today.
It's pretty obvious product placement when the words "Nokia" glimmer for no reason, but I was too distracted by what he was eating to care:
Okay, a square egg is easy, you can just cut the white into whatever shape you want. But the YOLK is square too! Britney should stop singing and open a restaurant, because that's goddamn amazing. Luckily, all this happens in the first minute so you don't need to sit through the awful inane screeching for too long. [- Thanks, everyone who sent this in]

<![CDATA[Go Ahead...Make My Breakfast! Insert Your Joke Here]]> When it comes to these gun-shaped egg molds, other acceptable headlines include:

•"Say hello to my little chicken!"
•A great source of Omega-357 and Anti-Uzidents.
Gun shaped eggs promote fowl play.
•This is your brain. This is your brain shaped like an Uzi.
•Shot in the yolk, and you're to blame. You give breakfast a bad name.
•Nothing says "I love you honey" like a gun in the mouth.
•Make one false move and I'll scramble your eggs.
•That's what I call "insani-tasty."

Got something better? I hope so—because these are horrible. So bring it on. [Product Page via Spluch via Laughing Squid]

<![CDATA[Dream Egg Vibrator. Be Kinky, and Proud Of It]]> If you love technology, then why hide it away? You'd show off a new cell phone, iPod or laptop, but not a vibrator. It doesn't seem fair. The LoveHoney Dream Egg doesn't shy away from attention though - not only is it bright pink, but it's also a key ring. Check out a perfectly work safe video after the jump.


The device comes in two parts; an egg that you put where the sun doesn't shine, and a fob which you put on your key ring. The fob has a button that can switch between 10 different settings, all of which hopefully have the same final outcome. The only thing I don't understand is how the egg can detect the fob's signals.

<![CDATA[Low Tech: Xbox 360 Easter Egg]]> No fancy tech stuff here, just a plain chicken egg and paint. Granted, it's much cooler than the pink and purple pastel eggs we used to get when we younger, so if we could get those matching Wii and PS3 eggs to boot, we might just spare the Easter Bunny. This year.

<![CDATA[Grobag Egg is a Thermometer for the Illiterate]]> If for some reason you're not capable of reading numbers, this Grobag Egg shows you the temperature in easy to "read" colors. Blue if it's cold, yellow and orange if it's somewhere inbetween, and red if the roof is on fire. Of course, unless you suffer from congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, or NAMBLA, you should be able to detect the temperature from your own thermometer known as your body.

However, this Grobag Egg is supposed to be placed inside nurseries, so that you can easily determine how hot or cold a baby's bed is and adjust accordingly. But it's still a pretty neat gadget to place on your nightstand so you can determine just how fast you need to run to put on a jacket when you get out of bed in the morning.

<![CDATA[Egge MP3 Players - Guess What It Looks Like]]> No points if you guessed "iPod", and only half-credit if you said "testicles". The Egge music player has an 1-inch OLED display and houses up to 1GB of tasty music goodness. Not only does it play back MP3s, the Egge player has FM radio support and plays back WMV and AVI files! We're not sure if anyone would want to watch the Indiana Jones trilogy on an egg, but it's nice to have the option.

The display also flips upside-down at the press of a button so you can still see what song is playing when it's hanging from your neck. No pricing yet, but we're sure it will be eggs-celent when it's released in October. We're eggs-tatic.

<![CDATA[The Smart Egg Tells You When It's Cooked]]> The folks at the British Egg Information Service (what the?) got tired of telling people how to properly cook an egg that they made a new self-timing egg that tells informs the "chef" when it's done.

The egg has heat-sensitive ink that displays only when the correct temperature is reached, meaning when your egg is done. The eggs come in hard-boiled, medium, or soft varieties, meaning you have to buy the kind you want or else the ink is useless—it's not a three-in-one egg.

They should really put this into other foods, like steak. Maybe they could display "WELL DONE" or "MEDIUM RARE" in big black letters when the meat reaches the right temperature.
