Songbird Flexfit Disposable Hearing Aid is 50X Cheaper Than Typical Ones

The Songbird Flexfit is an $80 disposable hearing aid, the first of its kind, and it was developed by the Sarnoff Corporation, the same company behind HDTV. It's a one-size-fits-all behind-the-ear device for people with mild to moderate hearing loss who aren't ready to plunk down thousands of dollars on a typical hearing aid. As you can tell from the picture, the Flexfit is also pretty discreet—I had to stare straight at this guy's ear to see it. The batteries last 400 hours, which we're told is about 3-6 months of use. Look for it in August, more pics down below. [Songbird] More »

C3PO, Indiana Jones, Clone Wars Trooper Life-Size Lego Models Are Awesomely Huge

We just spotted these great, life-sized Lego models of Indiana Jones, C3PO and a Clone Wars Trooper at the annual Toy Fair. We asked how many Lego bricks it took to construct each one, but were told that it was "a big secret." We couldn't care less, they look amazing, and we desperately need some new office furnishings to brighten up the place. Unfortunately, these are just show pieces, and those hoping for a gigantic Indiana Jones Lego pack will have to make do with these (movie spoiler) kits instead. Clone Wars fans get some smaller Lego-loving, too, but we want them so bad, we're going to try and smuggle the life-size models out. Stay tuned for news on the covert operation. Checkout the gallery for a ton of awesome images.

Oops, iPhone Display Needs to Reboot, Runs Windows XP

Hey PC fanboys, now you can use this shot of a Windows XP display at an AT&T store when those smug Mac worshipers tell you about how such-and-such Zune commercial was made on a Mac, and how "all media types and artists" use Macs. Windows runs the world, baby. (Thanks, Paul!)

First Photos: Motorola Capri

A prototype of the upcoming Motorola Capri slider cellphone has surfaced in exclusive photos obtained by Gizmodo. Not much new info was available beyond this set of pics, but as we speculated two months ago, the Capri bears a strong resemblance to the Motorola Razr, especially when viewed from the side. More »
