ASP Space Aquarium

Could I love MoCoLoCo any more than I already do? Apparently, yes, I could, because they keep finding and profiling great things like this ASP Space Aquarium, a gorgeous aquarium that “eliminates the awkward edges and angles associated with conventional aquariums.” They don’t have a website up with prices (or a website, you know, at…

Sharp to Produce Symbian OS Phones, Release More Internationally

Sharp had some interesting things to say at its recent press event commemorating its 8th year in the cellular phone market, namely that they hope to increase worldwide sales of their handsets by adopting, at least for market of their product line, Symbian OS. Most of Sharp’s current lineup use the venerable ITRON embedded OS…

Automatic Blood Donation Booth

We don’t have a ton of information about this Automatic Blood Donation machine, but how much information do you really need? I do wonder, though, if this isn’t perhaps a blood donation machine, but instead some sort of fancy blood testing machine, given that Japanese preoccupation with blood types and what have you. Either way,…

DesignFRONT Acrylic Radio and CD Player

Our pal Josh Rubin points out some new stuff from DesignFRONT (or FRONT Design — we can’t keep up with these fancy Swedes), including these two lovely pieces of electronics work that appear to be set in hard acrylic. The left one is a regular stereo receiver, and the right is a CD player that…

PowerPizza Laptop Box

If you’ve got no concern for your laptop at all, please purchase and enjoy one of these corrugated cardboard PowerPizza boxes. Although they look sturdy enough, I’m thinking we’re probably looking at novelty use, unless you find big pizza boxes the perfect form factor for hauling through subways or airports. Purchase now for £12.99 and…

Microsoft’s New Philippe Starck Mice

Microsoft tries their hand at peripherale couture with a new mouse designed by industrial designer Philippe Starck, reminiscent of the hemispheres of a brain, they say. To me, it recalls the smooth contours and glowing comfort of … the mouse. Still, I give Microsoft room to get as fruity as they want — their mice…

Video Headstones

A Burlingame, California, entrepreneur has filed a patent for hollow headstones fitted with flat LCD touch panels that will allow the deceased to play messages to visitors from beyond the grave (Reader Bradley Davidson, who submitted this story, dubbed it the ‘DIEpod.’) Before death — which makes you look ten pounds lighter on camera, at…

Gizmodo Exclusive: Motorola A630 Review

So what happens when you call somebody selling you a pre-release Motorola A630 on eBay a cokehead? Well, they write you up a fantastic exclusive review of the handset, complete with custom pictures. Read the whole thing after the jump. Oh, and that eBay auction? He sold his A630 for a cool grand. Eightballs for…

KLOC Floor Lounger

So I discovered this awesome thing. If you sleep three extra hours in the morning, you’ll feel fantastic, but for some reason, everything is three hours ahead. Perhaps if I had been sleeping on this KLOC Floor Lounger last night instead of a hard subway bench I wouldn’t have neglected my internal clock’s alarms —…

Sony’s X-Brite Flat Panel Monitors: SDM-HS74P and SDM-HS94P

Sony has taken its impressive X-Brite/X-Black LCD flat-panel technology out of its VAIO notebook computers and placed it in a couple of new standalone monitors, the 17-inch SDM-HS74P and the 19-inch SDM-HS94P, both of which share a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024. If you haven’t seen an X-Brite screen before, it’s worth checking out.…

Pokia: Retro Handsets

The Times — the Home & Garden section, of course, not Circuits — has an article about those Pokia handsets, the retrofitted old-style phones that occasionally show up for sale on eBay. More art pieces than products, the idea behind Pokia, says creator Nicolas Roope, is to challenge the mobile industry to free themselves from…

Card Export II Makes Treo 600 Plug and Play Storage

TreoCentral gives a short, but very positive preview of the latest version of Card Export II, a bit of software that emulates the USB Mass Storage standard that, this time around, lets your Treo 600 plug-and-play with your PC just like a USB flash memory drive. What that means to you is that simply plugging…

Campho Advance: Game Boy Videoconferencing

Although it was announced in September of last year, this “Campho Advance” module, as in ‘Camera Phone,’ for the Game Boy Advance is finally ready to hit the streets of Japan. It’s not much more than a hack, with an 0.11-megapixel camera and only 5 frames per second sent over the phone line, but it…

Sprint Launches Audiovox PM-8920: First US Megapixel Phone

I can hardly believe it’s true, but MobileTracker is reporting that Sprint has announced the Audiovox PM-8920, the first megapixel-plus cameraphone for the US market. And if that weren’t enough, the price is to be low — $150 after rebates. Among its other features, the PM-8920 also features an ‘Airplane Mode,’ a special setting that…

Sinclair’s Folding A-Bike

Sir Clive Sinclair, inventor of the pocket calculator and the nigh-on-legendary Sinclair personal computer, has unveiled a new, folding bicycle design he’s calling the ‘A-Bike.’ To be launched in 2005, the 12-pound bike can be folded and unfolded in around 20 seconds and rides on tiny, air-filled tires. The idea is (if it weren’t obvious)…

Thanks to Tyler and Mohammed and everybody else that sent in pictures of these am3 Anime Vending machines for the Advance Movie player.

ThinkGeek Green Laser Pointer II Shamelessly Reviewed

I’m not positive, but I’m fairly sure that the team at GadgetMadness violated at least two or three chapters of the PATRIOT ACT in the process of reviewing the Green Laser Pointer II from ThinkGeek. I mean, isn’t it illegal to use lasers to point at things outside? Isn’t it illegal to use lasers for…

Linksys High-Gain Antennas

Linksys has announced a new line of high-gain antennas to be used with some of its more popular Wireless-B (802.11b) and Wireless-G (802.11g) wireless networking products.

SmartDisk FireFly: 20GB USB Hard Drive

I’d declare the death of Flash Memory drives if I could, as manufacturers like SmartDisk continue to release tiny, portable hard drives like the FireFly, but as the capacities in both product lines grow, they both will move to fill the niche their forebears pioneered. But as robust and sturdy as flash memory drives can…
