Zune vs iPod: The 5 Year Battle for Souls

Steven Levy didn’t just find out how to meet women using iPods. He writes an article comparing the Zune vs. iPod battle as one that’ll be sorted only after 5 years, much like J Allard’s Xbox and its stand against Sony’s Playstation 2. Clearly, that battle has been going well for J, against all odds.…

Fujitsu P1610 Gives Laptops Across the World Weight Complex

Fujitsu may call it a mini laptop, but we all know the P1610 is the illegitimate love child of a UMPC, ultraportable, Tablet PC threesome.

GPS Gang Bang: Garmin, Mio, Cobra and Honda

GPS navigation systems are getting more affordable every day, with powerful but basic units such as the Garmin StreetPilot c320 selling for scarcely more than $300. We got four higher-end GPS units together in the same place, taking them out of the road and comparing their capabilities. The crazy thing is, we liked them all.…

World Record Beer-Opening Helicopter

I don’t know whether to be impressed or frightened. This video is courtesy of our lovers over at Dethroner. It is a 10-minute long video of some guy piloting a small helicopter and opening beer bottles with said helicopter. If I understand correctly, this guy set a world record for shortest amount of time spent…

Picture Surfaces of Motorola Q Pro in the Wild

Somewhere down the line in the old blogosphere, a picture of the Motorola Q Pro in the wild has surfaced. We told you about the upcoming release of this more-powerful version of Motorola’s Smartphone, due in Q1 2007, but we didn’t show you a picture of the upcoming handset in all of its mysterious blackness.…

Packing or Not?

How many of you gizmodo readers are ladies? And what subset of lady readers are offended by our boyish lockeroom jargon? I’m guessing about 12 percent, with a meager 4 percent offended. The rest charmed. Or so offended that you never come back again. Just curious if our ranks are more animal house or co-ed…

Bubble Helmet Makes You Look Like Bigger Dork Than You Really Are

We’re all for enhancing our TV-viewing experience, but this 6-pound helmet looks more like a prop from SpaceBalls than something we’d wanna wear. Still, Toshiba claims the helmet will give its wearer a 360-degree panorama when watching TV or playing games. Personally, we’d rather use it to scare small children. The Raw Feed via Daily…

USB Air Purifier, Clock

This clock is actually labeled as a USB Digital Thermo Clock Air Purifier. Odd name, yes, but it accurately describes everything that this little USB device does. It can purify the air around you (probably not much, though), and tell you the time, temperature and date all while glowing. It is available through Brando for…
