Green House XSIO Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosures

Why, these XSIO external hard drives enclosures from Green House look awfully familiar. Let me look at the specs; hrm, yes, aluminum, fanless, Mac OSX supporting towers … huh, no, just doesn’t ring a bell at all. The 120GB, 160GB, and 300GB USB 2.0 and FireWire drives will be available in July in Japan and…

Sony 3.31 Megapixel DCR-PC350 MiniDV Handycam

Sony’s new DCR-PC350 MiniDV Handycam jams a 3.31-megapixel CCD into a compact shell that weighs less than a pound. Each unit comes with a Handycam Station, a charging dock that connects to a TV or PC via S-Video, USB, or FireWire (i.LINK), to copy over data or display images or video straight from the camera.…

iTunes UK Gets iMix Write-Indie Campaign

UK iTunes Music Store users have hijacked (sortof) the iMix service to lambast Apple for its lack of indie labels on its newly launched European version of the service — a lack perhaps more noticable in the UK, as many notable and popular artists release albums on smaller, independent labels. Fans can make iMixes and…

Archos AV420: More Information, Pictures

PortableMediaWorld has more information and better pictures of the Archos AV400. Apparently, the AV400 series is set to replace the AV300 series, using the case from the still-upcoming AV500 series, but without the touchscreen or PDA functions. Also, I’ve been informed that Archos always launches its products on QVC in the UK. Maybe home shopping…

A Week with the Fujitsu F900IT

If you live in Japan, or just like to pretend you do, or perhaps just like to lust after some of their electronics options (there we go!), this “Week with the Fujitsu F900IT” report on Dottocomu is not to be missed, as Aragoto walks through the features of what is, arguably, DoCoMo’s nicest FOMA phone.…

Runco VX-2c Video Xtreme Projector

With a three-chip DLP setup and a 16:9 1,280 by 720 native resolution, the Runco VX-2c can probably be forgiven for its “Video Xtreme” moniker, if just barely. The VX-2c is also the first to use Runco’s LiveLink technology, which boosts DVI signals so that they can be run without loss of signal quality in…

Wired: Solar Tents and Death Cars

Of course the day I take a potshot at Wired for being behind the curve would be the day they have a bunch of interesting stories, like these two that I swiped from Bluesnews. The first details the Army’s continuing focus on the development of new solar panels as they work to incorporate flexible panels…

Gateway Connected DVD Player ADC-320 Reviewed

Gateway’s Connected DVD Player (ADC-320) may just be a rebranded GoVideo Networked DVD player, but don’t let that dissuade you from checking it out, especially if you have an affinity for oddly colored tan and gray consumer electronics. Available in wired and wireless versions, the ADC-320 can stream your video files from your PC or…

Archos AV400 Appears Fully Saleable

Looks like the Archos AV400, a 20GB portable video player — excuse me, “Multimedia Centre” — is available via QVC UK, of all places. Three easy payments of £135.08! Archos showed a PVP called the AV500 at CeBit a few months back. Perhaps this is a cheaper, get-it-out-the-door version they can sell as a QVC…

Cox Pushing HD Service with HD DVRs Into Many Markets

Already testing in San Diego, Cox Communications cable TV service is getting ready to roll out HD programming in quite a few markets, including Phoenix, Arizona, and will bundle an optional Scientific Atlanta 8010 high-definition DVR for only $10 more a month (or maybe that’s $10 for the service and another $10 for the box).…

Better Picture of Sony’s Black Backed Projection Screen

Remember Sony’s “Black is Beautiful” projection screen? (I’m quoting myself, sadly.) Here’s a slightly better picture that should give you some idea of what it looks like compared to a traditional off-white screen, even with a lot of ambient light. (Thanks, Rav!)

Discovery UV & Ozone Toothbrush Purifier

In a more perfect world, every one of our gadgets would have its own little crystalline tomb to rest in, ensconced and waiting until next we use it, bathed in sterilizing ultraviolet light. Every use of even the most mundane items, like a toothbrush, let’s say, would be accompanied by a flash of exploding light…

JNC SSF-M5: Yet Another 1.5GB MP3 Player

Today, I make an iron-clad prediction: by this time next year, you’ll be able to get 1.5GB MP3 players at Wal-Mart (or your local indigenous people exploiter of choice) for $50, or free when you sign up for a new Sears card. I mean, these things are just crawling out of the woodwork, like this…

Free Wired Magazine Subscription

I used to think these free magazine things were a scam, until we started getting, like, six copies of Seventeen a month.

SPY PEN USB Flash Drive with SD Card Reader

It’s sad that these days, almost anything that refers to itself as a ‘spy something’ is probably pretty pedestrian when it’s all said and done. So while this “SPY DISK with card reader” isn’t amazing, it is surprisingly enough that it actually does something cool at all. Available with internal memory sizes of 128MB or…

FutureCom/E-TEN P300B GSM Pocket PC Phone Reviewed

And while we’re on the phone tip, PDA Buyer’s Guide has reviewed the E-TEN P300B, a compact, if not powerful Pocket PC phone that will be sold under the FutureCom Global brand here in the US. It’s not a beast, with a 200MHz processor, although an ample amount of RAM, plus SDIO, but considering the…
