Samsung SCH-B510: Or Why Does Korea Get All The Cool Phones Part XXXVIII

The Samsung SCH-B510 is yet another sexy, ubertech phone we may see in the US, but it will be in 100 years when humans have evolved past the point of verbal communication.

JumpSnap: Jump Rope Minus Rope

Rope is so 2005. And the JumpSnap agrees. It’s a jump rope system that doesn’t use rope. Instead, it appears (little info on their site) that weighted ball spin on handles to make it feel like there is a rope, even though there isn’t. We expected some complex motion-sensing, laser guidance system. Apparently such technologies…

Brando iSing: i Like

The Brando iSing is yet another 5G iPod dock/speaker unit, but I like it nonetheless. It connects to your computer via USB, or can be loaded with AAs and taken on the road when wall power isn’t available. It also comes in 3 colors that we assume match the new Nanos perfectly (though no photos…

Virtual Trading Cards: Real Stupid

As if enough money weren’t being made through overvalued mobile downloads, CBS has added Survivor virtual trading cards (translation: wallpapers that cost more) to their mobile offerings. For a subscription fee of $7.99/month you get 12 cards at a rate of 3 cards per week – with duplicate downloads entirely possible. Not fast enough for…

Dyson Airblade Copied Mitsubishi Jet Towel?

Mitsubishi’s own high-speed hand air-dryer has been deployed in Japan for almost 10 years now, a fact most foreigners—like us—were oblivious of. Apparently, that includes Dyson. https://gizmodo.com/dyson-airblade-400mph-no-hot-air-204828 Called the Jet Towel, the dryer works in a virtually identical way to removes water from the front and back of freshly-washed hands. We’ll give Dyson the benefit…

HTC Herald is the HTC Hermes/TyTN’s Successor

The latest HTC phone with a slide-out keyboard is the HTC Herald, the successor to the HTC Hermes. The Herald is thinner, at 18mm versus the Hermes’ 22mm, but vomits a camera and some processor power to do so. Luckily for us, everything else is the same. The phone still has a 2-megapixel camera, QVGA…

Wireless Heated Insoles Keep Your Toes Attached

Although these ThermicSole heated insoles are of little use to us bloggers who spend 23 out of 24 hours indoors (hey, that’s the same as prisoners), but for those who work for a living, keeping your feet warm may be hard to do.

KNC HR-2800 Gaming-Capable Media Player

This KNC HR-2800 seems to be a media player and more, thanks to its 400MHz processor and 1.3-megapixel camera. Add to that 1GB of internal storage, an SD card slot, 3.6-inch TFT, and built-in speakers so you can play back MP3/FLAC/AVI/MPEG4/DivX/XviD files. Sound good so far?
