Mysterious Curved Mouse Gets a Countdown to its March 4 Release

We're as in the dark as you are about this mysterious mouse on speedofthelight.com, but it seems to be some kind of corded mouse? For gaming? Called "The Light"? Either way, those curved left and right mouse buttons seem fairly ergonomic for flack gunning in UT3, or clicking for the 10,000th time mining ore in World of Warcraft. Only five more days left to find out what this thing is and why it doesn't have all those extra buttons on the side like we enjoy in Logitech's mice. [Speed of the Light via Crunchgear]

Sony Teases With SonyDrive

It's hard to tell what this SonyDrive website is, partially because it's in Japanese, and partially because the product doesn't really look like anything we'd use. Judging from what's behind the bow, this can either be an industrial paper cutter, a 1980s electric typewriter, a gigantic notebook that can withstand a nuclear explosion, a scale for dogs, the PlayStation 4, the ashes of former PlayStation chief Kutaragi, a new MiniDisc Macro, a Bravia TV Shuffle, a Green-Ray movie player, the actual ending to Halo 3, or something we might actually buy. We'll see! [Sony]

Nope. Nada. Zilch. No idea. Beats us, kiddoes. All we know is that this tantalizing clip—five seconds, at most—of a new Sony Ericsson was put up over the weekend. And nothing on the SE website in Japan seems to correspond to it. Curioser and curioser, said Alice. More »

Cingular's gone and redesigned their home page, making it much more navigable, prettier, and more Web 2.0 (which means nothing). But there's one question nobody can seem to answer: what phone is this toothsome girl holding? More »

Archos 400 PMP Possessed by the Devil?

We've seen exploding batteries and laptops on fire, but this has us scratching our heads. Reader Tommy sent us an intriguing note this morning along with a group of pictures of his destroyed Archos AV400 PMP, which looked like it had been possessed by demons.
Hi Gizmodo.
I thought I would send this to you because I can't seem to find an explanation. Enclosed are pictures of my ARCHOS pmp. I walked into my office one morning to find it split open as if it had exploded from within. There are no signs of an internal fire or anything that suggests the cause. It just looks as if a tiny gremlin escaped from the center of the device using Hulk-like brute force. Do you have any idea what could cause this???
Take a look at this gallery of gruesome, closeup shots of the mayhem that ensued when that little bugger fought his way out of the Archos AV400. So how about it, commenters? WTF happened here? We're stumped.
