Rockin’ The Burton Amp Backpack

Announced last year (and covered by us here), the Burton Amp iPod Backpack started shipping in very limited quantities a couple months ago. I managed to track one down and have been thrilled with it. They are reported to begin shipping in larger volumes soon, so I thought I’d share my impressions. The pack itself…

Is This The Nintendo DS?

An anonymous source sent us this purported promotional image in response to our Nintendo DS Bounty: Notable features include the second directional pad (for two player simultaneous game playing on the same machine) and the branding of the DS as a ‘Game Boy DS.’ We’ll keep posting submissions as we get them, but this is…

Voodoo M:855 Gaming Laptop Review

TrustedReviews steps up with a review of the Voodoo Envy M:855 gaming laptop, which among other high-performance options, is the first laptop in recent memory that has a $200 acrylic ‘tattoo’ sticker as an option. Questions of style aside (as PC gamers are second only to import car tuners when it comes to true class),…

Nokia 7610

Nokia’s new “TV Star” phone, the 7610, is the company’s first to feature a one-megapixel camera. If using the 4x digital zoom and 1152 x 864 resolution camera to become the first mobile LaChapelle isn’t your cup, the 7610 will also take video clips up to ten minutes long (as storage allows, of course). The…

Powerbook Plunge II: Wet Behind The Ears

First of all, Gizmodo readers are the best. I’ve been deluged with helpful letters since mentioning this afternoon that I had picked up a Powerbook, yet not a single negative comment from any of our non-Apple OS-using readers. On the freaking internet, I remind you. Each and every one of you is a saint, and…

The L Grand Canyon

As we mentioned before, commercial film director Miguel Liberman was frustrated with the lack of high end Windows based video editing hardware, so in 1999 he started L and began making his own. The specs on all the equipment are pretty impressive, but it’s the displays that have me drooling. The Grand Canyon (above) is…

Epson Printer For Women

This lunchbox-shaped Epson E-100 printer was designed by an ‘All Women, For Women’ program in an effort to make a printer that was “easy for women to use.” Its more notable features include the ability to print images directly from mobile phones, as well as SD cards and other types of flash memory.

These ten images, some real, some fantasy, serve as fuel for a few moments of imagining what our future could look like when humanoid robots finally come of age and take their place alongside our cellphones, pdas, and washing machines. Look

Philips 639, With Magic Mirror

Narcissists unite! Philips has added their Magic Mirror technology to one of their upcoming cell phones, the 639. The Magic Mirror is simply a graphical display hidden behind a mirror. When the display is off, you just see mirror, but when it’s on you see graphics. Vanity value aside, the design of the phone is…

iOPS-F300 1 GB Flash Music Player

Dottocomu posts word of new series of V@MP iOPS-F300 solid-state players from NH Japan, with various versions maxing out in a 1GB titanium model. While I love solid-state players, I can’t help but wondering why companies are still producing anything less than a gigabyte at all? I suppose for some fashionistas, even an iPod mini…

Icepick House

Part ‘Big Brother’ exhibitionism, part extreme Home Automation hack, the Icepick is a heavily-scripted house that has monitored the actions of its inhabitants via sensors, barcode scanners, and webcams since 1997. This may not make it the newest item on the superweb infocyber, but the continual tabulations of everyday events make it fascinating to statistics…

The Powerbook Plunge

So I’ve been running a little slow today as I transfer my workspace over to my new laptop. I decided to take the Mac OS X plunge and picked up a used G4 12 inch Rev. A Powerbook via craigslist. Beside some minor niggles, like my general frustration with touchpads, I’ve found it to be…

Mercury On-The-Go Oxford911 Review (with Special Guest ‘Firewire Vs. USB 2.0’)

Tiny and fast, the newest 2.5 inch Travelstar hard drives from Hitachi may be the product that puts them back on the road to respectability after the ‘Deathstar’ fiasco caused quite a few to swear never to purchase an IBM/Hitachi drive again. Their small size makes them perfect for external, portable hard drives, and Ars…

Binary LED Watch

Full throttle geek chic. LED watches (like the 70s Pulsars) have retro cool cache. This model from Binary adds the geek factor by showing time in binary code. It’s totally impractical for 99% of us, but it is definitely a conversation piece. Fortunately, the site includes instructions for how to read it. Read

Next Base Walking Cinema Review

The Next Base Walking Cinema takes a few good swings at the portable DVD market but ends up bunting, with a few too many extra pounds and not enough control to really make a connection. TrustedReviews thinks it has heart, but has to send it down to the minors in this review. Read
