Network Walkman NW-HD5H, Special 30GB Edition

Sony Style in Japan will be releasing a special edition of the “NW-HD5,” and they’re calling it the “NW-HD5H.” The special edition features a 30GB hard drive (rather than 20GB), has different button colors, and doesn’t include headphones. And, this is sort of an odd move on Sony Style’s part, but they’re selling the NW-HD5H…

Onkyo NES-1A Music Terminal

Here’s Onkyo’s “NES-1A music terminal,” which features a 40GB hard drive, Memory Stick slot, and CD drive. I couldn’t really find a difference between this and Sony’s Net Juke NAS-A10 as far as capabilities are concerned, but I will say that the Onkyo has a cooler color. Something like this would be a nice go-between…

Sony CMT-AH10 Microcomponent Hi-MD/CD/Cassette

Sony will be releasing the “CMT-AH10” microcomponent system in Japan on May 21st, with Hi-MD, CD, and cassette(?) support. Interestingly enough, the unit can connect to a PC via USB — but don’t expect it to be recognized as a USB speaker system. Nay, the USB is for playing ATRAC3 files and ATRAC3 files only.…

Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC Announced

Toshiba has officially announced its Tecra M4 Tablet PC, the first Tecra-branded tablet from the company (for better or for worse). The Tecra M4 has a 14-inch 1,400 by 1,040 pixel display, a 1.7GHz Pentium M, and a built-in DVD DL drive. It looks decent enough in all the specs, really, and has a purported…

Dynabook SS SX Notebook

A second notebook announced by Toshiba today destined to never leave Japan is the “dynabook SS SX.” They must have taken a cue from Sony’s thin notebook offerings, as the SS SX is 0.38″ at its thinnest point and 0.78″ at its thickest. Specs-wise, the unit includes a Pentium M 753, not enough RAM, and…

Toshiba Revives Libretto, Announces U100 Notebook

Toshiba is bringing back the Libretto series of notebooks after a 3 year intermission. The new notebook is the “libretto U100,” and it appears to be just as small as previous Libretto models. If not smaller. At exactly 2.2 pounds, the unit measures a mere 8.26 x 6.49 x 1.31 inches. Pentium M goodness adds…

Hand-Carved Wooden Cell Phones

Slip a little toner into their vodka and Russians start wigging out, as evidenced by these new-primitive art projects/crazy wooden cell phones by Andrei Kozlov. My college Russian is pretty rusty, but Babelfish did a nice translation. “LABOR” It is designed for the working plants and the factories, it can work as control panel of…

StompBox: Homebrew EVDO<->Wi-Fi Router

This guy made a mobile internet access box using a Verizon EVDO card, a Wi-Fi router, and some of that Linux stuff. He’s calling it the ‘StompBox,’ and if you think about it, it’s sort of brilliant—and sort of mystifying why Verizon isn’t selling something similar already. Since Verizon already sells its high-speed 3G cellular…

Neuros Plans PMPs, High-End Recorders

Interesting news from Neuros. The company that brought us the Neuros FM broadcasting jukebox—which sunk along with every other audio player out there after the iPod ate everyone’s lunch—is regrouping and planning on offering an audiophile quality digital recorder, a Linux-based PMP, and a MythTV based television recorder. Very open sourcey and geeky. The planned…

Lovely DJ Table from Milan Furniture Fair

Since we’ve been thinking about DJ turntable furniture, we thought we’d pass along this beauty from Luciano, whose friend just got back from the Milan furniture fair. Dual decks or single, turntables always seem to get the best furniture. http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/musical-instruments/index.php#economy-of-scales-turntable-furniture-100192

Skype Plans Mobile Version

More news in the same vein as the iTunes phone—Skype CEO Niklas Zennstrom announced plans to move Skype onto mobile handsets. This is very interesting brinksmanship because a free—or low cost—high-quality VOIP system on smartphones would be a massive threat to standard cell providers. Zennstrom was vague, saying that the new mobile version may appear…

iTunes Phone: What’s the Hold Up?

Ars Technica takes a long look at the business issues that are holding back the iTunes phone. Carriers like Sprint and Verizon make their money on value-added services like “data” and “ringtones” not on low-profit services such as “giving customers great phone service at a sane price.” Cellular networks are top-loaded businesses. You have to…

Nikon D70s, D50 DSLRs Announced

Nikon has formally announced two new DSLRs, the Nikon D70s and the D50. The D70s is an update to the popular D70, adding a larger LCD screen and a better battery, among other things. The D50 [pictured] is a (very slightly) scaled down version of the D70 with a 6.1-megapixel sensor. It uses SD cards…

Optoma’s Air Purifying Projector?

Shiny Shiny and Tech Digest are both reporting that the Optoma H27 home entertainment projector now includes a built-in air purifier. The H27 represents what could easily be characterized as a curious blending of two otherwise unrelated devices, but perhaps now we’ll cough less during our favorite films. Available in Europe for roughly $1,500, it…

Frontier Labs NEX 3

With a design reminiscent of a Mr. Spell embryo, the Frontier Labs NEX 3 MP3 player has an SD card slot and an LCD screen but lacks any internal memory. The NEX 3 tosses in an FM tuner to perhaps take the sting out of its lackluster codec support: MP3 and WMA (including Napster) only.…

Preservative-Free Nasal Sprays

French company Valois has developed an intranasal spray that doesn’t require preservatives to maintain the quality of the product inside of them. Such preservatives often irritate the mucous membranes while also reducing and blocking the process of mucociliary clearance—nature’s way of protecting our upper airways. The system, code-named VPY, uses a closed-pump architecture that allows…
