iSkins for iRiver Shipping

A couple people have written in to let us know that iSkin is now shipping two of their rubber prophylactics for iRiver H-100 series players. Two sizes are available in five colors, including “Ultra-Glo glow-in-the-dark,” for those awkward times you need a little help stretching one on in the back seat of a car. Good…

Photokina 2004 Roundups

Digital Camera Info has a couple of nice round-ups of some of the new cameras revealed at this year’s Photokina expo. We’ve talked about most of them here already, but if you’d like to get into a little more detail on each one, it’s pretty interesting. There were a wealth of digital SLRs unveiled at…

Two New Dell Music Players

Don’t know much about it, but someone has sent me information about two new portable players from Dell, the first a 5GB player, the other a new 20GB version that’s said to be thinner. It’s unknown if these will be branded as DJs, but I’d say its safe to say they will be. We’ll certainly…

Iraqi Lighter

My buddy Mark lives in Kuwait and just sent me this: My friend just returned from Iraq and gave me this lighter. He bought it from a vendor at Al Rashid Hotel in the Green Zone. When you flip open the F-16 lid, the bombs blink downward and explode above an inscription that reads “Anxiety…

Yet Another Flash Drive Group Test

Trusted Reviews has a USB flash memory drive comparison review, putting up 9 different models against each other in read/write speed tests. At the risk of ruining their punchline, the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium pretty much dominates in the testing, which was made even more interesting by the abominable write speeds the SanDisk Cruzer Mini had…

Revo DAB Radio

This new Revo DAB digital radio is a £200 in-car system that can also be used on a home system by purchasing an optional dock. In fact, it operates a lot like I wish some of our satellite radio units did, with a rechargeable battery that makes it easy to lug it around anywhere, even…

Gizmodo Exclusive Until It Isn’t: Creative Zen Micro

Creative asked us to pull the images for this story because they are planning to launch this product very soon. Because they weren’t threatening assholes about it, we thought we’d cut them some slack. We will, of course, have all the details of the Creative Zen Micro as soon as they are released.

Warmrails Kensington Towel Warmer

I saw this in my Amazon Gold Box and I thought it was sort of brilliant, even if the ratings for it are sort of craptastic. The $125 Warmrails Kensington Towel Warmer and Drying Rack plugs into a standard outlet and heats towel for maximum winter pleasure. The fact that it’s basically half off the…

PodCasting Without an iPod

So PodCasting—the ability to time-shift internet radio and the like and listen to it on your iPod whenever—is pretty cool, I guess, but its name is a little confusing, implying that it only works with iPods (probably because the first popular variant uses a program called ‘iPodder’). Thing is, you can use iPodder along with…

Retro Sneaks: Reebok to Reissue Classic Pump Bringbacks

I don’t normally go for expensive, nostalgic sneaker reissues, but I’m considering dropping the $125 on these Reebok Classic Pump Bringbacks. I fully admit that it’s mostly because I didn’t get a pair like I wanted the first time around—every time I asked for Jordans or Pumps Mom brought home, like, Pro-Wings or something. If…

Hello Kitty AirStream RV

Okay, I need your help. Sanrio is auctioning an AirStream RV bedecked with as much Hello Kitty finery as you could possibly imagine, including a pink faux-fur bed, couches, and all sorts of electronics like a TV and DVD player. Now they want $150,000 for it, so I figure if you all chip in we…

AT&T To Get Siemens SX66

Mobile Gadget News confirms that AT&T Wireless will be getting the Siemens SX66 (AKA the HTC Blue Angel/MDA III/XDA IIs), a very nice Pocket PC Phone Edition quad-band handset with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and slider keyboard. It’s a little too big for my personal tastes, but there’s no denying it’s a little powerhouse, so it’s…

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook

Creative has announced an interesting PCMCIA card option for laptop users who want to bump their audio up a notch. The Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook adds 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound via an SPDIF optical output, as well as 24-bit/192kHz support for high-end audio. For some reason, though, it can’t use the SPDIF…

BenQ P50 (Hottt!)

Is it just me or is this BenQ P50 really, really hot? It’s got the integrated thumboard that is sort of the phone equivalent of fishnet stockings for me, as well as what appears to be a pretty high resolution screen (240 by 320, actually) and a small form factor. I think GodMode’s take on…

New AT&T Wireless Motorola Phones: V505, V220, V180

All include the usual cast of creature features: MP3, speakerphone, MMS, laser shuriken, etc. The V505 alone offers Bluetooth; all but the V180 do video playback. Indeed, the V505 looks a lot like a GSM version of the V710 with less…
