Apple iTunes 4.9 with Podcasting, New 20GB iPod Released

Today is make it or break it day for Podcasting, as Apple adds official support in iTunes 4.9. If this doesn’t cement podcasting’s place in the radio spectrum, I don’t know what will. Also, Apple added a new ‘color 20GB iPod,’ indicating that the ‘iPod photo’ branding will be ditched from here on out. Expect…

Philips Aurelle LED Candles

My mom got me a set of Candela fake candles for Xmas last year, and while I like the concept a lot (rechargeable LED candles, in essence), they have been of marginal use—they’re just not bright enough. Philips is launching a new line of LED candles called the ‘Aurelle,’ and while they are certainly attractive…

Zippo Cargo Case by Otterbox

I’d call the Otterbox Zippo Cargo Case overkill, except for two niggling points: first, it’s cheap (just $13), and secondly, it’s gotten Department of Transportation approval for checked luggage, which means you can actually take your lighter with you on trips. If you’ve got to have a Zippo no matter where you go, it might…

Mitsubishi Pocket LED DLP Projector

This tiny projector from Mitsubishi is the first of many to use a small DLP chipset to make a tiny, easily-pocketable projector (it’s a nascent trend this year). Two things make the ‘Pocket LED DLP’ possible, and one of them is the new superbright LED backlight that makes this unit not only more power efficient,…

Star Wars Lunchbox Theremin

In the grand order of things, you can’t really get much geekier than a Star Wars lunch box. It really covers the entire gamut of geekiness: Sci-Fi geek, Star Wars Geek, lunch box carrying geek. But what if you added Music Geek to that list? Now you’ve got the ULTIMATE in geekdom. This theremin, made…

StyleFi Music Sphere

I think I must have read this about fifty times and I still don’t quite get it. Evidently, this is a wireless audio device that consists of two distinct parts. The first part is a remote control thingy with a light-up control panel. The second globe, the small one, can accept up to three simultaneous…

TAG Heuer Diamond Fiction Watch

Sweet mercy! Sign me up! The Diamond Fiction watch consists of 879 tiny diamonds over 54 red LEDs. Like the digital watches of old, the Diamond Fiction tells the time when you press a small button. Unlike the digital watches of old, this watch is as ugly as sin and ostentatious as a diamond-studded toilet…

Daewoo Pinno PMP

Just when we all thought Daewoo went belly-up, we get the Daewoo Pinno. The Pinno is not a car. In fact, it is a PMP with 3.5″ TFT screen and a 20- or 30-GB hard drive. The resulting device, which is reminiscent of work by Archos, seems to be a small and sexy if impossible…

M-Audio iControl Ships

I love that Yeah Yeah Yeahs song Y-Control, so now I can sing some other words to it for maximum satisfaction. iControl, iControl, you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my GarageBand tracks… Didn’t work. Anyway, the iControl is a mixing board designed specifically for GarageBand. Notice the faux wood down the side which matches the…

EPI-NO Delphine

This is John again with more baby talk. The greatest thing about forthcoming babies is the chance to bone up on stroller design. The most interesting thing, on the other hand, is running across tools like the EPI-NO Delphine and its close cousin, the Delphine Plus. It’s fascinating to see the dichotomy between female genital…

Screen Goo

Two of the biggest problems with home video projectors are reflection and groddy, nasty surfaces that ruin portions of the image. Well, now there’s Screen Goo. Essentially, this is paint that you dollop onto your wall to create an instant screen for presentations, gaming, or even the odd M.A.S.H.-rerun-a-thon. But don’t take our word for…

LG’s Shuffle Clone

Another day, another iPod shuffle clone. If anything, the shuffle has made me realized that flash-based MP3 players do not suck by definition, and I’m glad a price war has been kicked up to keep prices down (this LG model will sell for around $110 for a 1GB model). Too bad the shuffle is probably…

Sony VPL-CX20: Super Thin Projector

I love projectors and I think you will, too, especially as they get smaller and smaller. While we should expect pocket-sized projectors out from other companies this year, Sony has released the VPL-CX20 (their names are so poetic) that is just a slender 52mm thick. It’s just an XGA projector (800 by 600 1,024 by…

Cingular to Take iTunes Phone

This is a bad day for standalone portable media players. Actually, this is probably the news that set off the sell-a-thon at Creative, et al, that we just discussed. http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/ipod/index.php#apple-going-soft-110159 Cingular, which took on the RAZR, is in talks to launch Motorola’s iTunes phone. Motorola is denying all rumors, but sources close to the deal…

Apple Going Soft?

In an interesting, if panicky, move by investors, shares of Apple, Creative, and key peripheral/supply chain suppliers have been hit by worries that the MP3-player phone market might be taking a huge bite out of the standalone portable media world. While MP3-playing phones have been around for quite a while, their sales potential is yet…

Razer Diamondback Mouse Reviewed (Verdict: Too Hard to Handle)

House favorite Dan’s Data has reviewed the Razer Diamondback mouse, the ultra-high 1600 DPI optimal mouse designed specifically for gamers who need per-pixel precision when randomly launching bouncing grenades into darkened hallways. The Diamondback uses the same imaging chipset as the Logitech MX518 gaming mouse, and due to its overly sloped shape which makes it…
