Zensonic Wireless Headphones Reviewed

Overclockers Australia has a review up of Zensonic’s Z710 wireless headphones, priced around 90 Australian dollars. My currency converter got all gummed up with Vegemite when I tried to do the calculation, but off the top of my head I figure that’s under $70 US, which doesn’t seem too bad considering the review is mostly…

iAudio U2 Review

The iAudio U2 comes to us from South Korea, representing the fourth generation of digital audio players sold under the iAudio name. As we’ve mentioned before, the U2 comes in three capacities (256MB, 512MB, and 1GB) and a multitude of colors. Looking at the promotional photos gives a pretty good impression of just how small…

The one with a Lithium Ion battery pack charged via solar power which you can use to charge up your happy little collection of portable electronic devices? Well, it’s scheduled to start shipping at the end of this month, and you can preorder them…

Burn a DVD in Two Seconds

Just saw this little tidbit from yesterday and thought it was worth mentioning, although there’s very little in the way of details. The gist (actually, the whole of the information available) is that Pioneer and TDK are collectively developing a DVD-R capable of burning a disc in two seconds. Two seconds. Mommy? Movie Pirate Dream…

Japanese Develop Wearable Speakers

Ok, so the speakers on the pictured shirt don’t actually make any noise—consider it artistic license. But shirts which do make noise may not be too far off, thanks in no small part to our Japanese friends, who have developed a method for weaving copper wire and magnets into cloth and apparently intend to bring…

Your Mother and I Have Decided to Get a Beer

So I have some good news, some bad news, and some good news. Bad news: I’m leaving for the rest of the day. Good news: I’m leaving to go to Boston to drink Belgian beer. Gooder news: I’m not leaving you alone. Ryan Ashmore will be picking up the slack for the rest of the…

Fossil Abacus SPOT Watch Reviewed

I’ve yet to buy into this whole SPOT watch thing from Microsoft, mainly because I don’t feel like paying a yearly fee to tell time. But the watches do offer some cool, if limited functions, so I am almost persuaded to give it a try after reading this review of the Fossil Abacus watch. Not…

Megapixel Cameraphone Comparison

We’re all sort of waiting for cameraphones to replace our point-and-shoots—we know this. And right now we’re in a painful limbo, as our cameraphones get incrementally better, but still not anywhere near what they need to be to replace cameras entirely. That being said, megapixel-plus cameras are slowly creeping into the market, and Mobileburn took…

Motor Trend’s Design Competition

I like to know what teenagers think the future of transportation will look like, and I know you do, too. Motor Trend’s 2004 International Design Contest winners have been announced, full of lots of names of people that may not even be American. Fortunately, you can just ignore all that and check out their nifty…

Zoom-X 12x Optical Add-On

Speaking as a mere hobby photographer, zoomability rules. I find my crappy old digital camera with 3x optical to be inadequate a lot of the time, and messing with a friend’s 10x optical always gives me zoom envy. I’ve long assumed that I was stuck with 3x, at least until I dropped the cash money…

Polk Audio XRt12: Component XM Tuner

PolkAudio is promoting the new XRt12, the first component XM tuner, and it looks pretty okay. It’s relatively cheap, at $330 ($300 on sale at Polk’s site), has digital audio out, and even a composite video output so you can output its control graphics on your television instead of using just the integrated LCD screen.…

RCA Astro TV

I really like this RCA Astro TV, but there’s no way a 13-inch CRT television is worth $500—even crammed inside a plastic ’50s-style casing. Fortunately, I found it at another store besides Brookstone for just $350. Unfortunately, even that is too expensive. In fact, I don’t think I’m willing to pay any more than what…

Treating Illness with Robot Cats

Researchers at Georgetown University have been using robot cats to help treat patients recovering from surgery or succumbing to dementia. By providing some companionship without needing much care (beyond the occasional fresh set of batteries), the NeCoRo from Omron helps patients “increase focus and decrease aggression.” The pair of robot psychology researchers who ran the…

Digitalway MPIO FG100: Flash Player Mini Boom Box

Congratulations to Digitalway for producing the first flash player in a long time that I am interested in owning. I don’t know why, exactly, because I have absolutely no need for a flash player with built-in stereo speakers, but I think it’s just the fact that they call the MPIO FG100 a ‘micro boom box’…

Far be it from me to criticize someone for meandering in an article, but somewhere inside this ramble from Bob-X Cringely is an impressed review of TV2ME, one of the new streaming television services being promoted as a way to send your home programming to your laptop over the internet. Although he was checking it…

Adaptec AVC-3610 USB Dual TV Tuner

Adaptec’s new AVC-3610 USB Dual TV Tuner looks pretty great—dual-tuners in an out-board solution is really nice, especially since it should mean less CPU thrashing in general as the unit does encoding itself. It captures FM, too, which is handy for those of you that still listen via broadcast, and can control satellite boxes and…

MOVIE VISION AV Portable MPEG-4 Recorder, 20GB HD
