HSM MP3-6610: Another World’s Smallest MP3 Player

It’s the World’s Smallest MP3 Player! With a built-in Li-On Battery, that is! Not much is known about this Hsuan Mao MP3-6610, but then again, how much do we really need to know about a pendant flash player? It’s light, it has a rechargeable battery, and will likely not have much memory built-in. More details…

Could Senior Citizens Save Customer Service?

The Times has a story talking about the phone companies’ new-found interest in selling service to the elderly—and the elderly’s new-found interest in getting the sort of service they want. The AARP has apparently taken notice of the ghastly service provided by current cell-phone companies and begun to lobby aggressively for simpler plans and less-confusing…

Pioneer SE-XB1 Headphones Reviewed

DesignTechnica reviews the Xbox-branded Pioneer SE-XB1 headphones, a set of wireless line-of-sight cans that use the newish Dolby Headphone surround-sound standard—and to great effect, according to their raves. Sound came not only appears to come from the front and back with the XB1s, but also from above and below, making playing games and watching movies…

Baby-Comp and Lady-Comp

The Baby-Comp and Lady-Comp are computers that help women determine when they are the most fertile—to assist in conceiving in the case of the Baby-Comp, and to avoid an accidental oven bun in the case of the Lady-Comp. By placing a sensor under the tongue and inputting personal information, the devices can tell you when…

New Sharp Zaurus To Be Shown at WPC

There is a teaser image up on a Japanese gaming site showing a new Sharp Zaurus PDA that will be shown at the WPC 2004 conference. I think it’s safe to presume Wi-Fi will be built-in, although I don’t know about Bluetooth. Either way, it’s a new clamshell Zaurus, so we’ll be certain to let…

iSkins for iRiver Shipping

A couple people have written in to let us know that iSkin is now shipping two of their rubber prophylactics for iRiver H-100 series players. Two sizes are available in five colors, including “Ultra-Glo glow-in-the-dark,” for those awkward times you need a little help stretching one on in the back seat of a car. Good…

Photokina 2004 Roundups

Digital Camera Info has a couple of nice round-ups of some of the new cameras revealed at this year’s Photokina expo. We’ve talked about most of them here already, but if you’d like to get into a little more detail on each one, it’s pretty interesting. There were a wealth of digital SLRs unveiled at…

Two New Dell Music Players

Don’t know much about it, but someone has sent me information about two new portable players from Dell, the first a 5GB player, the other a new 20GB version that’s said to be thinner. It’s unknown if these will be branded as DJs, but I’d say its safe to say they will be. We’ll certainly…

Iraqi Lighter

My buddy Mark lives in Kuwait and just sent me this: My friend just returned from Iraq and gave me this lighter. He bought it from a vendor at Al Rashid Hotel in the Green Zone. When you flip open the F-16 lid, the bombs blink downward and explode above an inscription that reads “Anxiety…

Yet Another Flash Drive Group Test

Trusted Reviews has a USB flash memory drive comparison review, putting up 9 different models against each other in read/write speed tests. At the risk of ruining their punchline, the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium pretty much dominates in the testing, which was made even more interesting by the abominable write speeds the SanDisk Cruzer Mini had…

Revo DAB Radio

This new Revo DAB digital radio is a £200 in-car system that can also be used on a home system by purchasing an optional dock. In fact, it operates a lot like I wish some of our satellite radio units did, with a rechargeable battery that makes it easy to lug it around anywhere, even…

Gizmodo Exclusive Until It Isn’t: Creative Zen Micro

Creative asked us to pull the images for this story because they are planning to launch this product very soon. Because they weren’t threatening assholes about it, we thought we’d cut them some slack. We will, of course, have all the details of the Creative Zen Micro as soon as they are released.

CEATEC JAPAN 2004: Day 5? / Roundup

Remember that CEATEC JAPAN 2004 Day 5 coverage I was talking about yesterday? Well, sorry, but it looks like that has fallen through. Japanese news sites have all flaked out on me. If there was anything important announced today, rest assured that you’ll see it here on Gizmodo early this coming week. Still, I think…

CEATEC JAPAN 2004: Day 4

Friday was certainly the low point of CEATEC JAPAN this year, but expect the convention to be in full swing for its final day tomorrow.

Warmrails Kensington Towel Warmer

I saw this in my Amazon Gold Box and I thought it was sort of brilliant, even if the ratings for it are sort of craptastic. The $125 Warmrails Kensington Towel Warmer and Drying Rack plugs into a standard outlet and heats towel for maximum winter pleasure. The fact that it’s basically half off the…

PodCasting Without an iPod

So PodCasting—the ability to time-shift internet radio and the like and listen to it on your iPod whenever—is pretty cool, I guess, but its name is a little confusing, implying that it only works with iPods (probably because the first popular variant uses a program called ‘iPodder’). Thing is, you can use iPodder along with…
