Boalum Tube Lamp

If all dogs go to Heaven, and in Heaven they turn into glowing celestial versions of their mortal forms, and the vast catalog of unreasoning parasites and symbiotic bacteria that made themselves a home inside the canine are carried by proxy into heaven as well, I would imagine this Boalum tubular plastic lamp is fairly…

Motorola A1000 on 3

As of tomorrow, Italian mobile customers will be able to pick up the A1000 on Hutchison’s ‘3’ UMTS service. This smartphone, which was announced early this year, still offers some PDA-like features, including a touchscreen display. The real kicker, though, is its ability to conduct videocalls, and apparently the A1000 on the high-speed UTMS network…

Blu-Ray Has Already Won

On Monday, we offhandedly declared Blu-Ray the winner over HD DVD to be the replacement of now standard DVD. Many have said that it’s “too early to tell,” but given both competitors have announced there will be products with their technology available to consumers before the end of 2005, we here at Gizmodo certainly don’t…

TG3 Electronics’ “BACKLIT 82 KEYS”

All I could say was “woah.” This doesn’t need too much explanation, except that the red-LED equipped keyboard is apparently water resistant and available only in Japan for about $100. Or is it? The maker of the keyboard, TG3 Electronics, has their homepage entirely in English and lists a Wisconsin address. Gizmodo does not condone…

Diesel Smart Car Coming to US

I confess that I have been lusting after environmentally friendly cars since electronic cars and hybrids first hit the market. Now I’ve found a new object for my lust, as a company called Smart, affiliated with Mercedes, is bringing a new diesel-fueled mini-car to the US. This two-seater gets 70 miles a gallon — a…

Epson P-2000 Launches in US Next Month

As a replacement for their P-1000 photo viewer, you couldn’t ask for too much more. The hard drive has been upped from 10GB to 40GB, support for audio/video playback and USB 2.0 have been added, and the supercool 3.8-inch, 212 pixels-per-inch VGA LCD has been retained. Interestingly, the press release states that the P-2000 will…

PhotoVu Wi-Fi Picture Frame

If you want to drop some serious cash on an LCD flat-panel photo frame, the PhotoVu Digital Picture Frame is plenty expensive—fortunately it has tons of features, too. At its heart is a 1280 by 960 LCD panel in a 19″ frame (note the whole thing is 19 inches, while the panel itself is considerably…

Total Innerscan Bathroom Scale

Body Composition Monitors are getting more widespread, and this one, the Total Innerscan, gives some evidence as to why. For around $260, you get a bathroom scale which measures not only your weight but also your visercal fat rating, bone mass, basal metabolic rate, muscle mass, and percentages of body fat and water (amongst other…

DMC Xclef 500: 100GB Hard Disk Player

California vendor Digital Mind Corporation has upgraded their 80GB Xclef 500 player line to now include a 100GB option. The player itself is as otherwise unremarkable as it was when it was upgraded last May, but ignoring its relatively large size (they use laptop drives), it does manage a 20 hour battery life—important when you’ve…

Three New Korean MP3 Players

Thanks to the industrious folks of Korea, there are three new flash players on SorobanGeeks this morning: SignStyles’ Si-228 (pictured), Si-300, and Si-200c. In apparent defiance of the naming scheme, the 228 is probably the best of the three, with up to a gig of flash, whereas they’re reporting the 300 as having only 256MB.…

Samsung 50-inch DLP HDTV

I always get nervous when someone tries to sell me a piece of consumer electronics as an ‘investment’. Generally that means it is going to be spectacularly expensive today, and will proceed to depreciate rapidly for the next few years, at which point the item will either be obsolete and off the market, or selling…

Navman iCN 510 Pocket GPS

Navman’s new iCN 510 is a pocket-sized GPS unit with a QVGA screen and a magnesium case. By default the unit comes with 32MB of map memory, but it accepts SD/MMC cards for expansion—up to a gig (and probably more). And despite this image clearly indicating a more Euro flavor, the iCN 510 will come…

JaceTech DDP-1500: Video Player with Wi-Fi

Relative unknown manufacturer JaceTech offers this strange DDP-1500, a 20GB hard disk-based portable media player that is most notable for its built-in Wi-Fi and the ability to decode a wide range of file formats. Despite the kooky form-factor (why bother with a clam shell that doesn’t protect the screen?) built-in 802.11b is pretty hot, although…

LaCie 321 LCD Monitor: Good as a CRT?

LaCie started offering a new 20-inch 321 LCD monitor that they claim provides a greater fidelity and accurate color reproduction than any other LCD panel—approaching color accuracy as good as top-end CRTs. They even provide an optional hood to screen out ambient light so that design professionals can see the colors more closely to how…

Golden Screws for Tungsten PDAs

You have to give the requisite snaps in the customary formations to a man willing to put a picture of himself pulling duty on the A/V Squad in high school, right on the front page of his site. But there’s another good reason to go to Carmine Castiglia’s website if you’re a PalmOne Tungsten T,…

WPC EXPO 2004 Roundup #1

The WPC EXPO 2004 is underway in Japan, and thus far it’s mostly just junk we’ve seen before.

Reader Paul Paik sent me a bunch of great links about Samsung’s 5-megapixel SCH-S250 phone, and since he already did all the heavy lifting I figured the least I could do is pass them on. There isn’t a ton of new information, but some new pictures and self-congratulatory quotes from the Samsung execs might ease…

NW-S23 S2 Sports Network Walkman

Sony has a new solid-state music player about to ship, the NW-S23 S2 Sports Network Walkman. The $230 $180 player has only 256MB of storage, and only reads Sony’s proprietary ATRAC3 file format and MP3 (although I’m sure their included software will convert MP3s, and converting a quarter-gig of songs should take terribly long). The one…
