It looks like a thumb drive at first glance, but AirStash is actually a pocket-sized media server that can wirelessy expand the memory of your iPhone or iPod touch. Apparently, the files are stored on an SD card that you insert into the device—giving you the ability to expand capacity when needed. I assume AirStash…

The 3M MPro120: It’s About Time Pico Projectors Grew Up

3M pitching the MPro120 mini-projector as a “second generation” piece of hardware. For them, that means it’s the first with the new MM200 projection engine.

Digeo Moxi HD DVR: $400 $800, No Fees, 500GB HDD, Might Even Be Real

I have watched the Digeo Moxi DVR evolution since it came into the world seven years ago. It was vapor we loved to love, but now, it might actually be living-room ready. UPDATED Like TiVo and other DVR products, the dilemma for the Moxi box was whether to encode re-digitize analog video or to get…

Intel’s Barrett on Paranoia, the Core Craze and the End of Gigahertz

At first, Intel chairman Craig Barrett struck me as a testy old dude. This would be fair, considering his company was about to announce a sudden 90% plunge in profits. So it’s understandable that, when I asked him about Nvidia’s recent coup, getting Apple to swap out Intel product for GeForce 9400M chipset, he said…
