Phlash Universal Cameraphone Flash Reviewed (Verdict: Pricey)

OhGizmo’s Andrew Liszewski took the Phlash Universal Cameraphone Flash for a spin, using it to add flash capabilities to his Motorola RAZR. He says it works as promised, illuminating a meter outwards so you can do things like photograph your NES in a dark room (what he did, before and after above) or drunkenly take…

Imation Clip Flash Drives

I’m not making much pee-pee over these, but it’s nice to see some good departures from the old fashioned thumb-drive design. These Imation drives come in multiple colors and attach to your person with a caribiner clip. Amazon? Naw. Cute? Sure. Priced from $29.99 for a 256MB model up to $119.99 for a 2GB model.…

Hitachi Exhales Deeply, Makes MP3 Players

I’m severely under-impressed here. I think each company has one guy whose job it is to buy 10 million OEM flash drives, slap a stupid name on them, and dump them onto an already jaded consumer base. Anyway, these are flash drives. From Hitachi. They have screens. They come in odd shapes. They will cost…

Samsung YP-Z5 MP3 Player

Oh, Samsung, you tease us so. This uber-slim MP3 player has a 1.8″ color screen and a 35-hour battery life. It will cost about $249 and is so delightfully sexy looking. No word on storage. Interestingly enough, Samsung hired Paul Mercer, software designer for the iPod, to work on this little number. Nano killer? Samsung…

What Are You Doing, Dave?

For a mere $69.99, you, too, can own a piece of HAL 9000’s core memory. This 1-GB USB key may LOOK like it just has a sticker that says HAL on it, but this is the operational memory for the most maniacal robot in universe. Just don’t pull it out without ejecting it first in…

M-Wave MP3 Player – You Know, For Kids

If your kid starts demanding an iPod and you’re are not prepared to spend too much cash, think about buying a “M-WAVE” instead. It looks cooler anyway and is both for boys and girls. “M-WAVE” from Sega Toys is the newer version of music player for girls “Sound Carrier” (it was called Tamagotchi on speed).…

ZicPlay – When Design Goes Bad

I mean more power to the Swiss for this thing, but what’s the point? It’s a Swiss 1GB flash player that slides like a phone. Why does it slide, you ask? To protect the USB plug? To prevent a sense of ennui? Nope. It just slides to protect the thumb pad, something that can be…

HHB FlashMic Digital Recording Mic

Here it is folks-drumroll please-the world’s first digital recording microphone is finally available for the Karaoke enthusiasts in all of us. Oh, and it is probably pretty cool for the professional musicians too. This microphone uses Sennheiser omni-directional condenser capsule and is also loaded with one gigabyte of flash memory. A pair of AA’s will…

iPod Mini Becoming a Flasher?

Conflicting reports over the weekend about flash-drive MP3 strategies from Apple and Samsung. First, Tom s Hardware stoked rumors that Apple is switching to flash for its iPod Mini. They quote an analyst from iSuppli who says that Samsung may cut the price of its 4GB flash drive in an attempt to convince Apple to…

Astone Stainless Steel MP3 Players

I’m just sitting here digging this triangular MP3 player. Look at that thing. You could sit on it and not even notice. Each one is made of stainless steel (!!) and has an OLED display. But you really have to wonder what the Astone people are thinking. “Bob! We’ve got to get these shitty flash…

Expect to see a red cast over Philips headquarters and Nike’s army of undead child laborers to clamor up the front steps of the CEO’s office,…

Martini Shaker MP3 Player

Another day, another new flash MP3 player. Vallio has released the VA-850, a flash player that uses SD memory. Same of the standard features apply: iPod-esque design, rechargeable battery, USB 2.0, FM Tuner, etc. The biggest problem plaguing Vallio is that they are not quite ready for an American release.

LG MF-FE502WF – The Visible MP3 Player

I’m not about to call my congressman about this new flash player from LG but it sure does look pretty.

Best Buy is selling the coveted Samsung YP-F1Z, a so-sexy 1GB flash player. I like Samsung styling, so I’m going to say this is a good thing, even though I’m so tired of flash players. Hard drives are small enough now that we should be using them in everything, but go ahead, Samsung any everyone,…
