Data-Sucking CSI Stick a Low-Down, Dirty, Rotten Kinda Thing
Utah-based company Paraben has come out with a nasty, sneaky little device that sucks all the data from a person's cellphone, perfect for all the pathologically jealous, untrustworthy toads lurking out there. So, while your significant other is at the bar getting the drinks in, you can sneak into her purse, grab her cellphone and plug this thumb drive-sized device into it to see if she's playing you. Cost is $200, and it currently only works on Samsung and Motorola phones. Thank God my RAZR is being forcibly retired in two weeks, then—not that I've got anything to hide, you understand.

This Hardbox enclosure from Korean company Sarotech looks even more book-like than the Western Digital MyBook drives that have been around for a few years. There are two status indicator lights on the front, behind which sits 3.5-inch SATA drives that connect to your PC via USB. It's great for hiding the fact that you don't have any books but have loads of external hard drives. That is, until someone looks closer and realizes you've read a book called Hardbox. Maybe Hardbox means something different in Korean. [Sarotech via AVING via Oh Gizmo]

Xbox 360 "Lips" Getting Announced Tomorrow?
8bitjoystick (a site known for some good Xbox 360 intel) has confirmed that Microsoft has been working on an Xbox 360 accessory known as "lips." What's "lips," you ask? No one knows for sure, though we know it's not the Wiimotesque Newton, and voice certainly comes to mind. As does kissing and some dirtier stuff. Meanwhile, major gaming forum NeoGAF spotted "lips" in the lineup of Microsoft Gamer's Day tomorrow. We'll keep you updated if the announcement hits. In the meantime, speculate away as to what "lips" could be in the comments. [8bitjoystick and NeoGAF via 360-HQ]

A REAL Universal Remote Concept
Not so long ago, we ran an "All Giz Wants" about a real universal remote—one that wouldn't just change your channels but change your life. (Marketers, feel free to use that). This concept holds a kinship to our humble dream of turning on our oven with the touch of a button...errr...remotely. Make no mistake, it's just an artist's rendering with ergonomics that are questionable at best. But it's something to keep us trudging through life (hopefully from our couches). [coroflot via DVICE]

Eye-Fi Announces Explore, Share and Home Models
Not so long ago we reviewed the Eye-Fi, a 2GB SD card that adds Wi-Fi to any digital camera. Now the company is expanding their product line with the Eye-Fi Explore ($129), Eye-Fi Share ($99) and the Eye-Fi Home ($79). The big news? Eye-Fi is now supporting hotspots and geotagging with the Explore. More »

Guitar Hero: On Tour DS Bundle Coming in June
In a conference call today Activision said that their DS rendition of Guitar Hero will be hitting stores in June, and Nintendo was so impressed by the controller add-on, that they're allowing the hardware to be included with the game as a bundle set. Activision didn't discuss price or specific release day, but it's good knowing the game is coming sooner than later. Let's hope it's as awesome as the console version. [Joystiq]

Narae Inter Recorder Mini, Tiny Mobile Mic
A laptop microphone can be pretty handy, but not all computers have them built in. Narae Inter's Recorder Mini is a tiny microphone that will fit in any standard mini jack microphone port and pick up sounds within a 30-foot radius. Released only in Korea at the moment, we're not certain about the price, but the magic of the internet could surely make the product part of your mobile arsenal. Like your USB hub. And your gun.

WowWee Chatterbot Looks Like Robot Hell-Hound, Does Friendly Banter
Move over iBuddy and Availbot, the masters of robo-companionship toys have arrived on scene. This is a WowWee Chatterbot, a USB-powered desktop companion that reacts with some motion and a bit of chattering to "trigger" words typed into emails, IM, calendar entries and the like. It's not as smart as Robosapien, of course: basically it just spouts out jokes and bits of commentary. Because we all like hellish dogs with eerie eyes responding to our typing, don't we? The video reveals the toy in action. More »

Smart Dog USB Hub Has Four Paws, Four Ports and a Radio
This Smart Dog USB hub is a bit of a three-in-one marvel. As well as the four USB ports, the bow-wow acts as a shonky computer speaker. Then, if you rip the head off this iridescent puppy, you've got yourself a portable radio with autoscan capability. Cost is $19.15. [Gearlog via UberGizmo]
usb drives
Not since the USB Food Hub from Solid Alliance have we seen a peripheral that made us actually want to put it in our mouths and swallow. These Cake Royale series drives range from chocolate, to some yellow looking one, to a white one with strawberries on top, and finally a fruity one. Can you tell we went to culinary academy for three years? No price yet, but the release date is sometime in May. [Vavolo via Nexus404]

Remember that PSP Skype headset with the remote control that was announced way back in January? It's now available. Skype functionality has been added in the 3.90 firmware update (also back in January), but if you haven't updated yet, you'll have to do so, and then follow these instructions to make calls. [Amazon]

On-the-Go Plastic Cover for Laptop a Ziploc by Any Other Name
Dust-proof and showerproof—although, despite the shower head-keyboard bunk-up in the picture, apparently not waterproof—this plastic laptop cover from Thanko is a glorified freezer bag. Available in A4 and B5 sizes, it is the plastic sofa cover of portable device accessories. Cost is around $20, and I suggest using Cling-film instead. [Thanko via Akihabara News]
printers
Canon's new dye-sublimation photo printer is a departure from the boring old box designs: it's basically a bucket, and is aimed at kids. The bucket part unclips, and is supposed to store wires and accessories rather than sand and a collection of worms. The printer itself is designed for easy operation, with big buttons, a 2.5-inch TFT and accepting all varieties of SD card, MMC and MemoryStick and xD too.
