NTT DoCoMo to Ship Militaristic Phone

If your style leans toward the GI look and you crave that olive drab chic in a cellphone, NTT DoCoMo is planning to move out a music phone that looks vaguely like a WWII-era walkie-talkie. It has a 2.8-inch display and a 320,000-pixel camera and is well domesticated, shipping with a cradle, headphones and a…

RadTech I-Sight Flashlight

We’re getting accustomed to having foreign objects hanging off our ears, so this RadTech I-Sight (hey, isn’t that name already taken?) flashlight won’t be too uncomfortable unless we want to talk on a Bluetooth earpiece at the same time. It weighs just a little more than a half an ounce, and its adjustable boom gives…

NeoDigits HVD2085 HDMI Player

This is no ordinary DVD player. The HVD2085 upscales regular DVDs to pure 1080p goodness and offers HDMI out. In fact, this monster has 11 different resolutions, even weird Asian and European ones. No pricing or local availability, but it looks quite promising. NeoDigits 1080p HDMI DVD Player [BIOSMagazine]

Homebrew Media Mac

Here’s what would have happened if Dr. Frankenstein were born in 200 years later. An industrious go-getter created a Mac media center of sorts fashioned out of plywood and recycled computer hardware. The brain of the system is a 12-inch PowerBook, which is encased in a wooden chassis, speakers dot around the enclosure and an…

Charmmy Kitty Flash Memory Drive

If you thought the Hello Kitty USB Flash Memory Drive we showed you two weeks ago was cute but just not pink enough, you’ll be happy to know that IO Data is also selling this Charmmy Kitty 256 USB Flash Memory Drive. https://gizmodo.com/hello-kitty-flash-memory-drive-160737 And don’t even think of giving us the “Charmmy who?” line like…

DIY Photo Lighting System

Photo lighting systems range from massively expensive to outrageously expensive. I know there are a few other there for $99 and whatnot, but this entire system costs $75, a steal at twice the price. What we have here are a set of hot lights on a tripod with blue-tinted photography bulbs, a diffuser made of…

Palm Making New Linux OS: PaLinuxmOS?

Not quite sure what to make of this, but rumor has it that Palm is working on a Linux-based OS for their handhelds and smartphones, thereby confusing and potentially impressing us.

UMD Movies Hitting the Skids

We could have told you this would happen a year ago, but people are just getting it into their heads that UMD movies are failing. While they are fine for video games—who cares what the media looks like?—they’re a horrible choice for movies. Movies, on the whole, are purchased once and played at home. Therefore,…

Low End Theory

Private Labels: Scourge or Menace? By Brendan I. Koerner I don’t know “Navin R. Johnson”, the pseudonymous Gizmodo commenter who swiped his handle from the classic 1979 Steve Martin vehicle The Jerk.
