Kyocera Oystr Mobile Launched on Virgin Mobile

The pearl-white finish of the Kyocera Oystr looks similar to the Helio handset, but this Oystr unfortunately doesn’t have a jewel on the inside. The phone is a pretty low-end specimen, with only access to Virgin Mobile content such as wallpapers and screensavers, two way speakerphone, text messaging, TTY/TDD and a color screen to differentiate…

BenQ IMS-100 Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Here’s an interesting product from BenQ. Instead of tying speakers to your Bluetooth-enabled portable music device or phone, these speakers are Bluetooth A2DP enabled so you can stream music to it from a distance.

Memorex iFlip Video Viewer for iPod

This September Memorex plans to release a video player that connects to the 5G iPod with Video, giving users access to a much roomier screen without having to sacrifice their precious iPod.

BBQ Spatula with Built-In Meat Thermometer

Some of us are not exactly talented in the kitchen or around the grill, and sometimes it’s a little difficult to tell when something is done just by “feel.” That’s where this $20 BBQ Spatula with a cooking thermometer attached can be a lifesaver, telling you if all those creepy crawlies are cooked out of…

MediaGear HD2Go Portable Media Viewer

The last time we looked at MediaGear, they were hawking some USB drive card reader. They’ve stepped up their game a bit since then and are now hawking a portable media device, the HD2Go. While it may look like just about every other portable gadget on the market, the HD2Go’s 20GB hard drive and 3.6-inch…

Yeah, the Nike + iPod connection is pretty neat, but what if you’re one of those people who hate Nike because of the labor practices (and conveniently ignore Apple’s own labor problems)?

SunConnection SC-MP001W: A Midget Shuffle Clone

Oh we like it when people out-Apple, Apple. This square MP3 player steals the shuffle’s button layout, and has a slot for an SD card. Although thicker, and wider on one side, we appreciate its expandability. Japan only, and at the price of $26 dollars, it probably doesn’t come with a memory card. SC-MP001w Baby…
