Lexar JumpDrive Elite Review

EverythingUSB takes the world of USB Keychain Memory drives and makes it, well, not exciting, but definitely tolerable with their review of the 256 Meg Lexar JumpDrive Elite. They even go to the effort to benchmark the damn thing and they weren’t even that impressed with it in the first place. It’s as if these…

Future Sonic In-Ear Headphones Review

Speaking of fawning reviews of things I don’t own (but would like to), PowerbookCentral.com has the audacity to not only review the $150 Future Sonic In-Ear Headphones, but actually like them (a sort of editorial dutch rub). When not defending Phil Collins and bitching about the subway system, Noah Kravitz gives a positive review of…

Brighthand Tapwave Zodiac Review

Tapwave’s Zodiac Palm OS handheld gaming system isn’t new, but if you’ve overlooked it you could do worse than read this in-depth (and somewhat fawning) review. While I don’t expect the Zodiac to be a competitor to Nintendo or Sony in its current incarnation, for those Palm OS users that also consider themselves gamers —…

KDLAB’s iSpec

Media design firm KDLAB has a vision for the future iPod. The iSpec is both an audio and video player housed in glasses. The interface is seen by looking through the lenses and media files are navigated using two finger mounted controls. Neither of these concepts are terribly original, what’s novel is their combination. I…

New Double-Layer DVD+R From Philips

Philips has introduced the first PC DVD+R drive that can burn to a double-layer, single-sided disc. The burner, dubbed the DVDRW885K, will record the new 8.5GB discs at a 8x speed. The upshot of all this is that until now consumer DVD burners have been single-layer, with half the storage capability of a ‘regular DVD,’…

Your Computer Has More Germs Than A Toilet

According to a recent study, office computers have 400 times as many germs as a toilet seat. The average office phone has 25,127 germs per square inch, keyboards 3,295 and mice 1,676. Yuck. I’m taking my laptop and cell phone and moving into a bubble. Read

Nokia To Take 63% Stake of Symbian

Last Friday shareholders approved the sale of Psion’s 31 per cent stake in the Symbian OS to Nokia. Why should you care? The Symbian OS is behind the Series 60 interface in the Nokia 7650, 3650, 3660, 6600 and more devices to come. Nokia’s implementation of Symbian is far more usable than any others to…

“Stretchy Wires”

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have built stretchy electronic circuits that will make wearable electronics comfortable and more functional — and could revolutionize medical treatments such as electrostimulation for Parkinson’s patients. The circuits, made from uniquely shaped gold springs, are 20 times thinner than a human hair and can stretch over half of their initial…

Sony Air Board

Sony’s Air Board is a WiFi (801.11a/b/g) blasting, 800×600 LCD touch-panel display that can stream television and other data wirelessly from a Sony base station. In addition, it can receive pre-recorded content for the base station anywhere it can establish an internet connection. As a remote screen for your Sony PVR, though, its relatively short…

Sharp Actius MM20: First U.S. Efficeon Notebook

Sharp announces the first U.S. notebook to use Transmeta’s new Efficeon processor today in its Actius MM20 computer. Transmeta’s older chip, the Crusoe, was fairly popular with manufacturers (especially among the Japanese extra-small PC set,) but lacked enough horsepower to be considered for most U.S. business-class laptops. With a claimed 1.4 times the performance of…

The Ultimate Mini Mod: A Robot

More and more we’re seeing home grown modifications to the Mini Cooper — but this one is the ultimate. “Colin Mayhew” has converted a Mini Cooper r50 into a robot that closely resembles one of those characters from the 80s cartoon, Transformers. The documentation sounds legit to a layman, but this is clearly a hoax…

Uniting hip-hop technology with post-pubescent man’s natural inclination, the One Hand Player from Compact-Impact makes “bringin’ scratch fun to the streets” a simple up-and-down motion, leaving your other hand completely free to pour forties or wave in the air (caring optional.)
