They like us, they really like us! Also, that photo is hilarious. I don't really walk around with a greater-than-wallet-sized portrait of Jason Chen, but maybe I should. I do wish they photoshopped out my CES mullet, though. Oh well. [T3]

The T3 Makes a Guy Wearing a Bike Helmet on a Scooter Scary as Hell

Sean Fallon — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:20:00 EDT

For the most part, I wouldn't consider a police officer or military personnel riding down the road on a scooter as intimidating. However, if that scooter happens to be Lamperd Less Lethal's new T3 Mobile Defender, there is definitely something to be worried about. The vehicle comes equipped with a powerful air gun that is considered non-lethal in a body shot, but could potentially kill someone if they were to take a synthetic bullet to the head. That is why the gun utilizes a holographic sight system to ensure accuracy.

"An eyepiece shows a red target dot, and then transmits an image of the target to a monitor, which relays the information to the gun." According to creator Barry Lamperd, if the holographic sight is on target, you can't miss. Let's hope so—because the company plans to sell the scooter to the US Army to use in crowd control situations (presumably in Iraq), and it will probably make its way down to local law enforcement somewhere down the line.

iPod Wins T3's "Best Gadget of All Time" Award

You will call us fanboys, you will say we love Apple more than our own mothers, you will state we have had sexual relations with sheep and proclaim you have photographic proof. Despite all the evidence supporting your assertions, one thing is certain; Apple's iPod has just scrolled home with T3's "Best Gadget of All Time" award, and we weren't even on the panel.

Apple also walked home with the "Most Anticipated Gadget of 2008" award, for, you guessed it, the iPhone. Editor of T3, Michael Brook said:

Apple really does appear to be an unstoppable force right now. The iPhone and the iPod Touch may have received some mixed press at times, but consumers are salivating over the products and the company is still unshakeable.

Mark pointed out that perhaps the wheel should have won the "Best Gadget of All Time" award, however, the iPod plays media content and has a touch sensitive wheel. Thus, despite Mark having sexy arms, he'd clearly make a lousy T3 awards judge. What do you guys make as the best gadget ever? [The Sun via Digital Journal]

Motorola TLKR, No Vowels for Walkie-Talkies

Mark Wilson — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:29:37 EDT

You know Motorola is stepping up their game when they begin ripping the grammar-strained vowels from a product line. Take the TLKR, it's Motorola's new line of walkie-talkies meant to convey a sense of style while you are calling in for airstrikes on the cootie patrol. The first version will be the T3, offering eight channels, 20 hours of battery life and up to a three-mile range. Where was this technology 15 years ago?

The luxury T5 will offer 121 channels, 16 hours of battery life and 3.7 mile range. Plus the T5 will feature hands-free functionality (which, though funny, could be useful in certain survival situations). Though no prices have been announced at the moment, the T3 and T5 will be released in October when the walkie-talkie army is set to overthrow cellphones and the internet for global communications domination.

Newgen Keyless Candybar Phone

Newgen's latest PDA, called the T3, is a standard candybar cell sans keypad. The company seems to like to stick to touchscreens on their products (like the earlier edition, the T1), so it's up to you whether you think you can get used to the idea. The T3 also comes with a 2.2 inch TFT LCD, 1.3-megapixel camera with flash and 3D stereo speakers. Of course, there are a few keys hanging around, like the one for unlocking the display, and some shortcut keys on the side. One caveat: the T3 has only 64 megabytes of built-in memory and with no Bluetooth or IR, it can only transfer data via USB.
