Windows Mobile 7 Screenshots Leak: Where's the Start Button?

Dan Nosowitz — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:26:04 EDT

PocketNow got ahold of some screenshots apparently culled from WinMo 7, since they look a little flashy and aesthetically different from WinMo 6.5—and that's definitely a good thing.

The shots are branded Windows 6.5.1, but as PocketNow says, we know what 6.5.1 looks like and it definitely doesn't share the modern, finger-sized aesthetic of these shots. The screenshots cover basics like the call screen, contacts list, mail, and on-screen keyboard, and all in all it looks substantially more modern (read: Similar to Android, iPhone, WebOS) than WinMo ever has before. Interestingly, the trademark Windows Start button appears to be a no-show: Is this a conscious choice to move away from the WinMo of the past? [PocketNow]

The Zune 120 and 16GB models are on their way, but here are some unconfirmed spy shots of the 120GB and the boxes for both. (There are more images post-jump.) [ZUnited, thanks Jared]

Shot Caller Times Your Drinking Games to the Last Second

AddyDugdale — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:22:47 EST

If ever a gadget is going to promote responsible drinking, then the Shot Caller is it. And let's face it, when you're playing drinking games with your buddies, it is all about being responsible and drinking up when you are told to drink up. Made for the Power Hour and Century Club drinking games, the Shot Caller prepares you for when it is time to drink, with red, amber and green lights. You can set it for either an hour or 100 minutes, and it comes with four regulation-sized shot glasses. The financial cost is $10. [The Shot Caller via DVice]

Twist 'n Shot, Jello Shots Made Easy

Mark Wilson — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 09:38:08 EST

Jello shots got us through the first six months of college before we (quite unfortunately) learned to love beer, but the Twist 'n Shot will solve a problem as old as time itself for the next batch of college freshmen. While most Jello shots get partially stuck in the cup and require various (drunken) improvisation to consume, the Twist 'n Shot's inner lining spins, cleanly scooping the alcohol candy from its plastic home for us to enjoy. At $14 for 20 cups, the Twist 'n Shot may not be cheap, but it sure looks easy. [product via bbgadgets]

(UPDATE) iPod Nano Spy Shots Show Fat, Big-Screened Nano

Jason Chen — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 11:53:49 EDT

[Update: Apple asked us to take down their art, so it looks it may be absolutely real. The horror.] 9 to 5 Mac has a couple follow-up spy shots of the iPod nano resdesign we posted about last weekend. If these are real, then it confirms the fat nanos that have a giant screen on the top half (which supposedly plays videos) and the scroll wheel on the bottom half. And it confirms those colors we talked about earlier as well. It also confirms that these nanos are kinda ugly and fat. [9to5mac]

Chilled Shot Machine Makes Shots Go Down Smooth

Jason Chen — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 15:50:11 EDT

We're not big shot drinkers here—we prefer the apple, mango, or grapetini ourselves—but this Chilled Shot Machine is just the thing to make your next small glass of booze go down smooth. The device fits a bottle up top, like a water cooler, and chills drinks all the way down to 15 degrees F. That may be colder than freezing temperature for water, but it's just right for alcohol. Sounds delicious, and makes us wish we hadn't already gotten wasted on a six-pack of Coronas before we started the day. [Skymall]

Booze Belt Will Transform You Into Drunk Cowboy

Addy Dugdale — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 11:10:29 EDT

Once in a while, Gizmodo comes across that rare object, that invention that showcases the amazing nature of human genius and the never-ending quest for perfection that lifts the spirits of every man and woman in the planet.

That gadget is clearly not the Booze Belt, something that celebrates two of the finest american traditions: shooting and getting drunk, but not necessarily in that order. It includes two holsters for your favorite alcohol bottles and six slots to hold your shot glasses, which come with the pack. The Booze Belt costs $89.99, tequila, limes and salt not included. The pic of the model holding her pistols after the jump is, sadly, completely free.

Party Shot Luge for Bringing Out the 21-Year-Old Girl in You

Travis Hudson — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 20:20:34 EDT

The latest trends at bars are these ice sculpture shot taking things, but now you can bring the fun of an "ice luge" to your own home. The Party Shot Luge is a mold that can be filled with water and frozen. Pop the luge out and begin pouring liquor down the luge into a mouth or shot glass. Oh man, I love being a college student. Screw growing up. –Travis Hudson

Reef Dram Sandals Carry Relief for the Perpetually Thirsty

Charlie White — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:30:00 EDT

Squirrel away three ounces of your favorite beverage inside the heel of each of these Reef Dram Sandals, giving you a total of four generous shots of courage afoot wherever you may roam. Looks like a great way to keep your sanity—that is, if you don't mind your single malt tasting a bit like feet.

We like this Reef company, one that keeps besotted wretches such as your heavily sedated Gizmodo team in mind. You may remember its first foray into drinking and walking with its bottle opener sandals, and now there's these $45 Dram Sandals that are available in three earthy colors. Just be sure to empty the contents of their internal flasks before placing them on that airport security conveyor belt. – Charlie White

Sprintz Shot Drinking Game

Travis Hudson — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 17:50:40 EDT

Drinking is always more fun—and dangerous?—when there is a game involved, right? Of course! (Beer pong anyone?) The Sprintz shot drinking game puts your shot slamming skill to the test by using a magnetic sensor integrated into the bottom of a shot glass. The idea for the game is pretty simple. Fill up the shot, push the start timer button, take the shot and slam it back down on the plate. Do it faster than your friends and you have won admiration of your peers and some nice liver failure. – Travis Hudson
