Dynamism Selling Sushi USB

Dynamism has a pretty decent holiday line-up coming together, but the most notable has to be the Sushi USB flash drives. These, too, can be yours, for the extremely expensive price of $110 apiece for a 128MB version, or the less-money-but-even-more-ridiculous price of $80 for a 32MB version. If I’m keeping my maguro straight from…

Cingular Selling V3 Razr

Cingular finally has the Motorola V3 Razr online. If I weren’t all tenty about the Treo 650, this would probably be my next phone. In fact, I’m really thinking about getting one to go with my nice outfits, most of which are all totally metal, as well. It’s $500 with a two-year contract. (Thanks, Matthew!)…

Sonos Onos: Delayed Until ’05

Sonos Digital Music System—a networked music streaming platform probably most notable for its iPod-like remote control—has been delayed until Q1 ’05, according to Om. I saw them showing off their gear at DigitalLife and it looked ready to rock, but they reportedly delaying due to some “fine-tuning issues” (says Om). That probably means, “We just…

PMDs: Big Drives, Small Size

There’s a new Portable Media Device in town (well, a few, actually) but you might not recognize it (them). No screen? Well, the screen isn’t part of the portable equation, you see. The portable part only applies to the media itself, and quite a lot of it at that: up to 400GB on some of…

AT&T/Cingular Confirms Treo 650

No big surprise, but AT&T Wireless has officially announced that they will be selling a version of the PalmOne Treo 650—the “first EDGE-Capable Palm OS Handheld.” The slight information doesn’t exactly make it clear if the Bluetooth stack will be crippled to prevent using the Treo as a modem for another device (we’ll suppose it…

Lexar LDP-400 and LDP-600

Lexar is in the flash player market with two new players, the LDP-400 and the LDP-600. The 400 is a joke: if a player is going to have 128MB of memory in this day and age it better have some amazing secondary quality, like the ability to grant the power of flight to humans or…

Europeans Lukewarm on Portable Video

While I wouldn’t go quite so far as the Beeb, who maintains that consumers “‘snub portable video'” over dedicated music-only media devices, the numbers from a recent survey of Europeans does bear out that people just don’t care about watching video on the run. At first the numbers don’t look too awful for video, with…

Fighting Crime Sans Wires: AlertBox

Crime rates are going down all over, including within the US as well as the UK. Despite this, public perception of crime rates is going up. Why? I don’t know, and it doesn’t really matter. The point is people are increasingly scared, even as they have less reason to be. It’s been inevitable that some…

Fiat 500 Gone All Futurey

Italian grad students have retrofitted a retro Fiat 500 with all sorts of happy-go-nerdy twists, including the ability to unlock the car via text message, as well as personalized greetings each time they climb aboard. It’s got loads of wireless networking, naturally, and even a built-in video projector between the headlights that serves as a…

NEC N940 and N840

Is it wrong of me to want all my communications gear to have telescoping metal antennas coming out of the top? I know that’s not very chic these days, but my heart does a little flutter when I see stuff like this NEC N940 phone (the pic in the right top corner). Sadly, it’s not…

IOGear Bluetooth Mini Mouse

IOGear’s new Wireless Bluetooth Mini Mouse has no bundled Bluetooth receiver—if you don’t already have a Bluetooth-equipped computer, you’re out of luck. That’s good as far as I’m concerned, as everyone should have Bluetooth now (or be willing to pay $20 and get a Bluetooth USB dongle) and it’s a waste to keep treating Bluetooth…

Turtle Beach Noise Cancelling Headphones Review

The Turtle Beach Noise Canceling Headphones had a pretty steep hill to climb with me right from the start, because I have a middle outer ear that is apparently atypically small, meaning there is nary a set of buds that will stay in my head for more than a few seconds at a time. These…

Audio Shaker

The Audioshaker is a project by designer Tom Jenkins and programmer Mark Hauenstein which captures and records sounds in a manner not unlike cartoon physics, where a sound can be placed inside, shaken about, then poured out again. Many different noises come out of the urn, using the initial sound as a base to create…

IBM M400 Reviewed

This new crop of tiny projectors are exciting, both because smaller things are better things, and also because they portend cheaper high-quality normal-sized projectors in the future (I’m still waiting for a quality 1024 by 768 pixel unit under $1,000). IBM’s M400 probably isn’t something to consider for a home theater on the cheap—especially since…

Tatung Elio PJ (P)Review

DAPreview got their hands on a not-quite-retail version of the Tatung Elio PJ, a color-screen hard disk-based media player that seems slightly better than average—although it’s not without a few faults. The only thing that disappoints me is that the glowing half-sphere with the logo isn’t an actual button, but instead just houses the seven-color…

PSP Development Kit

Looks like Sony is reusing their “TOOL” Playstation 2s as part of their PSP development kits. I guess I never realized how similar Playstation 2 and PSP hardware really is. And I’m just guessing, but is that a UMD emulator that uses DVDs instead of Sony’s proprietary discs? I know some pirates who would kill…

Polycom ViaVideo II

I guess I sort of don’t understand what the big deal is about a $450 ‘videophone’ package, like the ViaVideo II that Polycom is touting today. I mean, it looks nice enough, feature-wise, but it’s still basically just a webcam with some bundled software, right? It’s not as if the internet has gotten that much…
