PSP Tidbits, Quotes

With all the Playstation Portable news floating around this week, I’ll go ahead and post a couple little pieces of information that may be of interest to you. First off, many people have been wondering how Sony is able to offer the PSP “at such a low price.” The answer lies in its manufacture —…

Interview: FreePalms.com’s Burke Jones

We did a short interview with Burke Jones, owner of FreePalms.com, a site pointed out to us today by a reader that appears to offer the same sort of deal as FreeiPods.com, except this time giving away Zire 72, Tungsten T3, and Tungsten C PDAs. Since they’re site is a little spartan, we figured we’d…

Pink Fondue Pot

When I think of fondue, I think of a lot of things. Swiss warriors raging across the field of battle, then making up long enough to melt some cheese together, dip some bread in it, and get tanked before going back to bludgeoning one another; Iliad Song XI; the French with their Bourguignonne, a mouthful…

Think Outside Bluetooth Travel Mouse

Traveling nerds know the value of the compact travel mice which exist in abundance, their smaller size serving both as the main pro and con: they don’t take up a lot of space, but they’re kind of a pain when you’re used to having your hand full of plastic, whiling away the hours between smoke…

Treo 650 Almost Reviewed

It might not be fair to call this the first Treo 650 review (and he doesn’t), but Treonauts has a fairly in-depth breakdown of the smartphone after spending many hours with it and taking it through the paces. He’s pretty rocked by it, it seems, and while you have to take a Treo review on…

Koyono BlackCoat-T Reviewed

PocketNow reviews the Koyono BlackCoat-T, a $40 t-shirt with a prominent zipper that lets you secret away gadgets (or whatever) in little woven-in pouches under your arms. I had my doubts, but Tim Adams says it’s not as awkward as one might think, although it takes a little two handed contortionism to get a ringing…

Media Center PC Owners Get Mixed Signals from Gateway

Quite a few owners of Gateway Media Center Edition home theater PCs are pretty upset with the company at the moment, as requests about the upgrade path for machines running the 2004 Edition of the Windows XP Media Center operating system are receiving conflicting information. Some are hearing an update will be made “by Thanksgiving,”…

Digital DJ Hip Pack

A problem experienced by many portable digital audio device owners (I won’t say iPod, even if it is the undisputed market leader, cause everybody has different tastes and I aim to be sensitive, even to iPod haters and people who say I abuse italics) is the, “where the hell do I put this thing?” conundrum.…

Delkin 24k Gold CD-R

For those who want to put some real class in their life, but are already weighed down by gold medallions and knuckle-spanning rings emblazoned with diamonds spelling out ROOT, Delkin has arrived on the scene with CD-R media containing some $0.20 worth of 24k gold per disc. Gold may not seem like a very sensible…

Yahoo’s Mobile Search

So I think we gave a little remainders blip to the mention of Yahoo’s mobile search function for phones, but a lot more people are talking about it today, so I thought we’d revisit it. The main difference between Yahoo’s and Google’s mobile search seems to be that Yahoo’s is an actual mobile web page…

Batmobile Begins Details

More details about the new Batmobile are leaking out with a feature in Rolling Stone that details some of the production work and story ideas behind the new Mad Max-style jet-powered bat-thing. Apparently they built three different ones for the movie at a cost of just $1.7 million each. Feature-wise, though, it’s sort of spartan…

Bundled Sharp Software Turns DVDs 3D

This AP review of the Sharp LL-151-3D, the $1,500 3-D LCD flat-panel monitor, mentions an interesting bit of software called ‘3-D DVD’ that converts 2D DVD movies (or anything, presumably) into the sort of faux-3D information flat panels like the Sharp can process. It makes a few educated guesses—and gets a lot of stuff wrong,…

Wearable Computing Fashion Show

The Korean Ministry of Information and Communication had a wearable computer fashion show yesterday in Seoul, with lots of the typical arm-keyboards and heads-up displays and techno-nipples and the like. These pics on WMMNA are the first I’ve seen, but surely there are more. Send them in if you find some more, would you? Korea…

If you weren’t impressed with their alliteration, maybe you’ll be impressed with these tiny little clip-clocks themselves from Vessel, Inc. Looks like you can conveniently clip them to clothing, and no worries if you lose it or smash it up in a terrible accident—they’re only $14 (per pair) from Unica, or $13 direct from Vessel…

Gateway Photo Jukebox

Obviously, Apple was the last to the party with a color screen, but now that they’ve emphasized photos over video, you can bet everyone else will, too. Case in point: Gateway’s new MP3 Photo Jukebox, a smart-looking 4GB hard disk-based player (no 5GB?) with a 1.6-inch color display. The highlight features look very nice: MP3,…

A couple of you have complained about all the iPod coverage this week. While I feel your pain, it was a launch week for two new models, so you’ll sort of have to get over it. Still, I’ve got a bit of iPod news here, and as a concession to your pain—and to assuage my…

Logitech Cordless Headset for Xbox Reviewed

Everyone that I had spoken to about the Logitech Cordless Headset for Xbox was pretty excited about it, perhaps a little bit unreasonably so. It is, after all, just a headset, and it’s not like a lot of people are playing games on Live while doing aerobics or hiking into the mountains or something, so…
