Aqua FM Swim Snorkel Radio

Although it won’t do you much good once you get under enough water to soak up all the radio waves, the Aqua FM Swim Snorkel will let you surface surfers listen to FM radio while you float, making it easier to ignore God’s beautiful undersea creation. Even better, the Aqua FM snorkel uses no earphones,…

Future Intel Mobile Chips to Add Location-Based Services

Though it’s impossible to consider without thinking of the inevitable exploits (from Big Brotherish agencies and rowdy script kiddies alike), Intel has said they are developing support within their mobile processor line to allow computers to be aware of their physical location at all times.

BoomGear MP-900: The Same, But Better

Oh, so you know that Boomgear MP-820BT we were just talking about? Apparently, they’ve got an MP-900 model coming out that is not only a little smaller (and a littler better looking) but also incorporates an SD/MMC slot so you can add in or swap out extra memory as needed. I fully support this addition,…

Italy Only Onda N 3000 Handset with Camera Flash

This Italian Onda N 3000 handset is a fairly unremarkable GSM/GPRS dual-mode phone except for its camera’s integrated flash and 4x zoom (digital, not optical). I’m mostly posting about it because I couldn’t find much else about it on the web. Is this a rebranding of another handset manufacturer’s phone? (Thanks, Sergio!) Read [OndaCommunication]

Gizmodo Mashup: Media Player, Mini PC, and a Robot Crab

Some good things from the always interesting SorobanGeeks’ Akihabara News, including these Computex showing of a portable media player from MSI, the ‘Mega View 512’ (top right) and the Piston Socket 775 mini PC from FIC (bottom right) which looks an awful lot like those tube subwoofers, but may just be cylindrical for coolness’s sake.…

Reader Josh Arfer passes along word that L.L. Bean’s Dog E-Tag, a digital 40-line LCD identification bangle for your dog (or other hefty pet) has been dropped from its normal $40 to around $27.

Pocket Rendezvous’s DRM Endrun

The Register’s Andrew Orlowski takes a longer look at the ‘Pocket Rendezvous’ easy wireless networking tool we mentioned yesterday, focusing on the software’s ability to create ‘personal wireless Napsters’ between Pocket PC devices running the software, beating Apple to the (probable) punch in what The Register feels wireless sharing may be the tipping point that…

Although suggested to me as an iPod solution, there’s absolutely nothing keeping you from using the Eclipse TD Lulét speaker systems for anything from home theater to gaming — in fact, they’re designed to be easily mountable anywhere, like most other small speakers.
