Volkswagen Shows Us Cars From the Future

Volkswagen thinks they know what cars from 2028 will looks like (which is probably fair, since they can basically make the whole thing one big self-fulfilling prophecy). Still, it's exciting to see the designs. The one pictured here is Ego. It's a sporty two-seater without a front window (no, not because people in the future can see with their minds, but because it will be loaded with all sorts of cameras and sensors that are better than a window).

Iomega's Stylish eGo Drives Hit 1TB, Get Bigger Outside, Too

Sure we'd all love to see the little bus-powered 2.5" Iomega eGo drives hit 1TB, but that's not happening today. Instead, Iomega is porting their sleek, shiny, colorful design to the 3.5" realm, launching 1-terabyte Super eGo (get it?) drives in blue, red and black. For the time being, they're only USB 2.0—no FireWire or eSATA options—you still need a power supply, and we're gonna guess that they're spinning at 5400rpm. The good news is that they'll cost just $270, not bad for a hefty TB. More »

Iomega Introduces Leather 250GB Hip Flask, Er, eGo Drive

The people who brought you the camouflage eGo portable USB hard drive have traded the hunting rifle for the meerschaum pipe: the leather-clad 250GB eGo, which goes on sale today for just over $140, will look good in any study, but best in ones where there's a roaring fire and many leather-bound books. Iomega takes pains to note that this is the only leather portable drive on the market. Our guess is that, as stylish as it is, it may remain so for a while. (Second photo after the jump.)

sad but true

Alter Ego Lamps Are Both Cooler Than Us

Most alter egos show a darker side—something hidden from the public because they just couldn't handle it. But the $15 Alter Ego Lamps take a step backward in raw introspection, representing the inherent cuteness in ugliness (tophat guy) and evil (devil guy). More »

Iomega Introduces eGo and eSATA Drives


The folks who long ago brought you the Zip and Jaz drives (and a few other less memorable storage solutions) now introduce the candy-apple red eGo portable drive, and its gray, workhorse cousin, the eSATA. More »

A Girly Laptop For Dumb Girls

Hey lay-deez! Don't you just hate having a big ol' ugly computer that doesn't go with your clothes? No, because you aren't stereotypical and shallow? Well, don't tell the makers of the Tulip Ego that! It looks like a mix between an old iBook and a purse, but it's really a Windows laptop. You can change the covers to suit your mood, from frivolous to easy and everything in between! Sure, it doesn't have diamonds like it's $350,000 big sister, but you already have enough diamonds.

Ego's Love Edition Laptop For the Geek in Your Life

Valentine's Day is just a few days away so if you don't have plans for your significant other, Tulip Ego has your back with their special Love Edition laptop. The notebook is clad in leather and its silver heart pendant can be engraved with any message you like, but other than that, pricing and features are mysteriously missing. Considering how their previous notebooks did, we're not expecting much, so you might be better off getting her something else. More »

$350k Diamond Notebook Ain't Even Dual-Core

Sure, it looks like an old school iBook, but even if we had the $350,000 dollars to buy it (which we don't), we'd still take a pass. Made by Dutch company, Ego, the Tulip Ego Diamond has 470 flawless diamonds shaped in tulip form on the notebook's lid. Spec-wise, your $350k gets you a 12.1-inch notebook powered by a single-core AMD Turion processor. Yep, that's pretty much all the horsepower you get. Ego also has a "more affordable" Tulip laptop ($5,000), which has the same features sans diamonds. Close up shot of the laptop you'll never own after the jump. More »

New Eton Radios, Too Pretty to Play? Hope Not.

No doubt Eton makes some gorgeous electronics. Its Porsche radios, which always look as good as they work, are obviously made with the same care to design as to engineering. This year at CES, the company is showing a few things. Its et n E1 XM combines four radio technologies—AM/FM/Shortwave/XM Satellite radio—resulting in a stunning-looking, full-sized, all-in-one portable world radio. It's got a 5.7 inch backlit dot-matrix display, 1700 station presets (thanks XM), and five tuning methods to make it as easy to use as it is pretty. No pricing on this product as of yet.
The ego 4000 Plus is a CD/MP3/AM/FM travel clock radio (love the name, by the way) with removable speaker boxes that can be stored in the gadget's lid and deployed anywhere, making it the best portable stereo and travel clock I've ever heard of. Also includes electronic skip protection, dual alarms, and sleep timer. Retails for $150. More »
