New Olympus E-Series Camera

Once the intern wakes up from his hot college orgy we’ll make him translate it for us. Read – Product Page [Olympus-EsystemJP] Read – Olympus E-1 [DigitalSLR] Read – New…

Hurricane Frances: How To Keep Your Gadgets (and You) Safe

Florida-resident (and veteran Gizmodo tipster) Aaron Feibus sent us this great list of things to do in preparation of waiting out a hurricane with all your gadgets intact. My pop got away from Charley pretty much intact, but talking to him on the phone a few hours before the storm hit really made the severity…

Benjamin Moore Pocket Palette

Most people won’t have a use for Benjamin Moore’s new $300 Pocket Palette, but there’s no disputing it’s a pretty bitchin’. The Pocket Palette electronically matches any color to the closest Benjamin Moore sample in their catalog, so instead of carrying around hundreds of swatches to get an exact match, you just hold it up…

Olympus Mju () -mini DIGITAL

Olympus has a new consumer camera out today with a style many will probably hate, but I think is rather attractive, in a mecha-node robot spoor sort of way. It’s called the MJU MINI Digital, and it’s a 4-megapixel camera with a 1.8-inch screen, a metal body, unlimited movie recording. Plus it comes in six…

Toshiba’s Erasable Toner

Toshiba TEC has announced “the industry’s first” monochromatic copier/fax/scanner/printer thingamajig that features erasable toner. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the fact that it’s erasable (not because I’m a moron, but because the press release doesn’t say), but the toner is also blue. In fact, the toner is so erasable that…

Wacom Intuos3

Wacom has an updated Intuos3 drawing tablet coming out, at least in merry ol’ not America, which looks like it includes a new pen with different tips, as well as buttons built-in to the sides (to choose alternate styles and such, I’d imagine). Not sure on a price yet, but they do look a little…

Febreze ScentStories

So Febreze, friend of those with pets and not much incentive or will to properly clean, has a new gizmo out, called “ScentStories.” It looks like the gist is that you purchase special discs that tell an olfactory ‘story,’ by rotating through five complementary scents in the space of 30 minutes, like “exploring a mountain…

Shuttle XPC SB81P Reviewed

ExtremeTech reviews the new Shuttle XPC SB81P, a slightly larger than usual desktop cube PC, which goes up a notch in size to provide a 350 watt power supply – critical in this new era of high-power CPUs and PCI-Express graphics cards. There are some sacrifices made in the layout to accommodate the new Intel…

Motorola V3 Razr is Hot

Hey, is that a picture of me holding the new Motorola V3 RAZR phone at last night’s Yankee’s game? Why yes, it is! Is it also proof of my inability to use the Fuji F440 I’m reviewing to focus on something in the foreground? Why, it’s that, too! I didn’t get a chance to mess…

Bigha Jasper Laser Review

I need to tell you a secret. I know fuckall about lasers. I know that for someone as intrinsically tied to the future as I am it must be a disappointment to learn this, but it’s true. I understand that they shoot photons out in such a way that they lase and are shiny and…

Microsoft Launches MSN Music Store Beta

If you haven’t heard about it already, you’ll be sure to hear about it about a million times as they push it to launch, but Microsoft has launched the beta version of their own music download store. It’s slightly confusing, at first, because different write-ups have called it different things, but I think we’ll go…

More Hands-On With the iRiver PMC-100

SorobanGeeks got their hands on the iRiver PMC-100 series, the Microsoft Portable Media Center player that’s expected any day now in stores. They also had a short sit down with the Vice President of iRiver’s parent company, who seems to have a real hard on for Microsoft in the upcoming portable player wars, because the…

Philips ProntoPro NG, PronoNeo Reviewed

This lighthearted, if epic review of the ProntoPro NG and ProntoNeo remotes from Philips does a lot to illustrate why these $1,000 remotes too often miss the point. Although they are super-powerful, their need to be massaged and tweaked to achieve any semblance of usability makes them a tool more suited for hacker-types, who probably…

Toshiba GENIO with 4-Inch Screen

Keitai Watch has posted a report from the “PDA Solutions Fair 2004,” and probably the most attractive item is Toshiba’s new version of the “GENIO e” Windows Mobile PDA. And by attractive, I mean VGA – 640 x 480 resolution. On a 4 inch screen, no less. Yes, I am attracted to 4″ VGA screens,…

Final Fantasy: Before Crisis Beta Testing, Gain Magic from Cameraphone

We don’t normally talk about games here, but I think this is a worthwhile exception.

Or actually, you probably should be even more jealous – this game is only being offered to the…

JVC “Rewind Be!” Wind-Up Cord Headphones

The Japan Victor Corporation (known to us as simply JVC) has announced some new earphones dubbed “Rewind Be!”, which allow for the cable itself to be wound up inside of the housing.

Jakks TV Games Atari Paddle Reviewed

I like these all-in-one TV games systems as much as the next guy – I think they’re a neat throwback to the pixels of yore, and they price is right – but kept wondering why they were releasing them without the ability for two people to play at the same time. So many of these…

ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 Reviewed

ViperLair reviews the ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0, a sort of low-rent option for those you want to add a TV tuner or video-in to their machines, but would prefer an outboard piece of equipment instead of cracking open their case and dropping in a daughter board.
