Smart Mirrors

For the elderly or just plain forgetful types who can’t remember if they’ve washed down their daily Vicodin, the Memory Mirror by Everyday Computing Lab keeps track of all drugs removed from its medicine cabinet. Visually represented with soothing lavender graphics, the mirror will record usage over a 24-hour period, aided by Satan’s own RFID.…

Corega CG-PMPPOD

Corega is showing off their new jack-of-all-trades media player which looks to be the same OEM rebrand as the DVX-POD. Including a 7″ wide LCD screen and a 20GB hard drive, the “CG-PMPPOD” plays back WMV9, DivX 4/5, Quicktime 6, MP3 and WMA, as well as video and audio out functionality. Corega’s planning on selling…

Nintendo DS Pepsi Edition

As part of a special promotion of the new (for Japan) Pepsi Twist, Nintendo is giving away this special edition blue DS, as well as the not nearly as sexy ‘Mario Tape.’ Perhaps the best, though, are the Mario characters in Lego (or their Japanese equivalent) sitting on top of a giant Pepsi cap. You’ll…

NanoChromics Display: More ePaper You Can’t Buy

Ntera is at DEMO this week with their contribution to the growing line of digital paper prototypes. The NanoChromics Display (NCD) brings to the house a patented nanotechnology process (meaning that’s all we really know about it) and a dose of titanium oxide, the chemical what makes paper white. Either that iPod in the back…

MDA IV Softcore

I have big plans for the MDA IV Windows Mobile smartphone. First, we’re going to go out to the park, and I’m going to check my mail—maybe do a little Excel. Then out on the town for dancing and Google maps via Wi-Fi. Then I’m going to invite it home, take off its carrying case,…

Boost Mobile Vintage Telephone Handset

Someone thought that Pokia’s retro handsets were a good idea—good enough to swipe. Boost Mobile’s new ‘Vintage Telephone Handset’ plugs into a variety of Motorola i-series handsets available on the pre-paid carrier (it’s a rebrand of Nextel). Good for a laugh, perhaps, and thankfully free along with select Boost phones. That price gets it a…

X-Space R/C UFO

First shown at the Nuremberg Toy Exhibition in Germany, this X-Space UFO was reportedly first designed by two kids. Gyroscopes keep to level, while four high-speed electric motors allow it to navigate with a moderately high degree of precision. The framework is carbon fiber, which is good—these sort of things often suffer from forced landings…

Sanyo Wipoq Bluetooth Messenger

Treonauts is still scouting out the 3GSM conference in Cannes and has discovered this prototype instant messaging device from Sanyo called the ‘Wipoq’ (both the name of the product and the new division within the company, it seems). Running the same IXI operating system as using by the Cingular’s marginally successful ogo, the Wipoq is…

Philips’ 5 Euro Phones: 162, 568, 760, 655, Xenium 9@98

DesignTechnica has a nice round-up of five new Philips phones announced yesterday that flew under our radar (maybe because they are Europe-only). In order from the left, the Philips 162 is a basic candybar phone in four colors; the Philips 568, billed as one of the “most compact video phones available today”; the Philips 760,…

Wearable Warnings Electro-shock Coat

London designer Phil Worthington’s prototype coat is covered in strips of fur that become electro-statically charged when the wearer is uncomfortable. The charged fur stands on end, sending the universal “back off” message that any one who’s ever tried bathing a cat should be familiar with. If the personal space invader persists, the fur begins…

Dell UltraSharp 2405FP Reviewed (Verdict: Cheap, Great)

Just announced yesterday, the Dell Ultrasharp 2405FP has been reviewed by Loyd Case over at ExtremeTech, and it looks like it’s worth waiting for the March introduction. The number one thing is price: $1,200 for the 24-inch widescreen, besting the cheapest competitors by almost $400. And if you figure that the typical Dell discounts and…

Hitachi Wooo DZ-MV780

Look for Hitachi to roll out the first real challenge to Sony’s DCR-series DVD camcorders this week: The Wooo DZ-MV780 boasts a 1.33-megapixel still sensor, something called a “zoom” lens (although it doesn’t mention to what power), and up to two hours recording time per disc. Toss in a thinner, easier to hold body than…

Hitachi FLORA-ie MX1 Pocket PC Reviewed (Verdict: Huuuge!)

While I think lots of us were pretty hurt by the fact that Japan was going to get the Hitachi FLORA-ie MX1 Pocket PC and we weren’t—the sliding Zaurus-style keyboard is delectable—I don’t think anyone realized how huge this thing was. A regular-sized Pocket PC can fit just on its screen, which is good in…

Happy Hacker Keyboard Professional

The Happy Hacker keyboards aren’t new—they’ve been around for a few years—but these new Professional models have my favorite feature of the product line: no silk-screening on the keys. I once tried sanding the tops of my IBM folded-spring key caps off, but ended up giving up after spending 30 minutes on ESC. You can…

WWII Ammo Box Case Mod

Case modding stud muffins bit-tech.net were recently commissioned to produce two small form factor PCs for a giveaway by two of the UK’s biggest PC gaming magazines.

Nokia 6101

MobileBurn got a little hands-on time with the Nokia 6101, the new rare clamshell from Finland that will be released in North America (unlike a lot of the phones released at 3GSM yesterday).
