iRiver M10 and D5 Players Bring Glossy Black Back in Fashion

Set to be revealed at SEK in Korea, the iRiver M10 and D5 both have a glossy black look found in other players like the iRiver Clix 2 (but not in the MPlayer). The M10 will be a navigation-centric device, with a gigantic knob on the right and a DMB tuner, which probably means it’s…

DirecTV and EchoStar Partner For WiMAX Internet Access

This deal between DirectTV, EchoStar (DISH’s parent), and Clearwire (a WiMAX service provider) seems to be the first big solid WiMAX push in the US, if everything goes to plan.

Cardboard Box Furniture

These cardboard box chairs are priced entirely wrong for the market that’s going to buy it. Each soft, sittable box costs $465, which means your entire dorm floor will have to pitch in just to buy one for the lounge. Which is entirely a bad idea, since that bastard Fred will just chuck the chair…

Groping Sony Ericsson’s Non-Geeky MBW-150 Bluetooth Watch

Sony Ericsson first revealed its MBW-150 Bluetooth watch this morning, with Sony insides and design by watchmaker Fossil. It lets you control your Bluetooth-compatible cellphone or music player from your watch.

Sony Ericsson K850, 5MP Camera and Cellphone in One

We got a quick hands-on with Sony Ericsson’s latest Cyber-shot camera phone, and it’s a sweet 5-megapixel camera shoehorned inside a great-looking little cellphone. It’s the K850 and it has a dual-front style, with a camera on one side and a cellphone on the other. We especially like the raised-button keypad with contextual icons, making…

USB Ear Scope Looks But Doesn’t Pick

Projectors are great and all, but how annoying is it when someone comes in the room, walks behind you, and puts a shadow of their oblivious head across the screen?
