Onkyo D-TK10 Guitar Speaker: Designed Like a Musical Instrument

Designers at Onkyo are getting clever, teaming up with acoustic guitar luthiers at Takamine and putting together loudspeakers that are more akin to musical instruments than car horns. A pair of Onkyo D-TK10 Guitar Speakers will run you around $2000, but then you’ll be paying for what the company calls “musicality and acoustic personality,” just…

Jacob Jensen-fied Vertu Aerius Bluetooth Headset

We first heard word about a Bluetooth headset from Vertu last week. Some more details, along with a snazzy picture, showed up today and strangely it looks a lot like the Jabra JX10. Coincidentally, the Jabra JX10 and Vertu Aerius were both designed by famed artist, Jacob Jensen. https://gizmodo.com/vertu-constellation-luxury-cellphone-supposedly-more-a-196681 The headset is pretty average.

Refilling Dog Bowl: For Potty-Mouth Pets

The Refilling Dog Bowl is a pretty good sight gag, and it actually has a practical purpose. Place a 2-liter bottle of water (or your pet’s favorite beverage) in the tank and it will automatically keep that mini-loo full of fresh fluids. Just make sure your kids know it’s the dog’s bowl and not theirs.…

Motorola Unleashes the ROKR E2 Upon Asia: Just as Bad as the ROKR?

Motorola just launched the Linux-based ROKR E2 music cellphone in Singapore (isn’t Motorola an American company?) and hopefully it’s not as big of a disappointment as the original ROKR was. This time around you can load up to 500 MP3s onto the cellphone, but, since it’s based on Linux, you probably won’t be seeing iTunes…

Sanyo Virus Washer System: Good Luck

There’s nothing like playing up the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) factor to sell products, and that’s probably what Sanyo is doing with its Virus Washer System, a group of five products that the company claims can remove airborne viruses and allergens using electrolyzed water. The products are said to “suppress” 99% of airborne viruses…

Holide HX-2142: World’s Smallest DV? Perhaps World’s Crappiest, Too

This is probably just a piece of junk, but at least it’s small—the Holide HX-2142 digital video recorder and camera is called “the smallest DV in the world.” No dimensions are given, but judging from the size of its USB plug, this is truly tiny and thin camcorder that’s down to spycam size. There’s just…

Weight is just a number, right? Not any more with the Celebrity Weighing Scale, eschewing numbers altogether and assigning you a celebrity that corresponds to your weight.

Acer e310 GPS: Small Size, Flash Memory Slot

GPS units get smaller and smaller, and here’s an example—the Acer e310, a 4-inch-tall GPS device that runs on Microsoft Windows CE. About the size of an iPod, its 2.8-inch 320×240 touchscreen just about fills up the front of the thing, and in addition to its GPS navigation duties it also functions as an MP3…
