First Impression of Inowell’s UREN V1 UMPC

We were pretty impressed the first time we saw Innowell’s in-car UMPC (unfortunately named the UREN), but after getting a bit of hands-on time with it last week, the infatuation is slowly waning. First of all, it’s nowhere near as sexy as OQO’s Model 02, despite it having a larger 7-inch touch screen. Also, the…

Hands On with Novint’s 3D Game Controller

We saw a lot of controllers at CES, but Novint’s Falcon stood out from the pack. It’s a force feedback 3D controller designed for PC games. Users hold the grip handshake style and can then move it up/down, left/right, or backwards/forwards. https://gizmodo.com/e306-clips-novint-falcon-172967 The cool thing about the Falcon is… that it reacts depending on the…

Doomsday Plane: A Floating Pentagon ‘Just in Case’

Think your ride is cool? I bet it’s no match for the National Airborne Operations Center, no matter how pimped out yours is. Known colloquially as the “Doomsday Plane,” the Boeing 747 is outfitted enough to be considered a floating Pentagon. (In the event of a devastating attack upon the United States, the Doomsday Plane…

Sony Vaio WA1 Wireless Music Streamer: Expensive for What it Does

Somehow last week we missed the Sony Vaio WA1 Wireless Digital Music Streamer. It’s a simple (and not necessarily new) concept: the device taps into your pre-existing Wi-Fi connection and streams the music that’s directed toward it. For example, you’ve got a PC loaded with music in your bedroom but you want to hear Sleater-Kinney…

MoGo; Worlds Smallest Bluetooth Adapter

Newton Peripherals, makers of those sweet MoGo mice that fit inside your PC card slots, have now come out with the tiniest of tiny bluetooth adapters. The idea here is that it’s so small and smooth that you can just leave it plugged into your computer all the time. And if my three and a…

Fukuoku Massage Glove Hands-On: Good Vibrations

Marketed as the world’s first multi-speed waterproof massage glove, the Fukuoku should be used to give yourself or someone you know a nice, thorough massage. At the porn convention, however, all bets were off and the glove was used by this crazy old man to harass random passersby. We could use this after a week…

OhMiBod iPod Vibrator Hands-On

The OhMiBod iPod vibrator first made an impact last summer but we were able to get a hands-on this past week. To recap, it’s a vibrator (“marital aide”) that vibrates in sync with the music being played on an iPod. Once you ignore the fact that it’s, you know, a vibrator and actually appreciate the…

Hands On with CES’ Smallest Tablet

Flybook’s V33i was without a doubt, the smallest notebook we saw at CES. This thing made our 3-pound ultraportable look like a heavyweight. The keyboard is very cramped, but we love that it has built-in HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE and GPRS. The 8.9-inch display might make you blind, however. We put our Motorola Q on the keyboard just…

Rimba Electrosex Power Box 880: Should Cause Pleasure But Causes Pain Instead

[Editor’s note: This video appears to have been taken down.] Just down the Las Vegas strip from the main CES convention center this week is the porn convention and Gizmodo went over there to check out all the latest technological innovations. One thing that caught our eye was the Rimba Electrosex Power Box 880, a…

Mac to Intel: You’ll Cramp Our Style

At Intel’s booth, not far from the white boy dance station, they have a wall showing off their Core 2 Duo line of supported laptops. There are quite a few manufacturers here…but no Macbooks to be found. We checked with a few reps regarding Apple’s absence, giving that Apple and Intel have been hooking up…

Hands-On: Amtek Vista UMPC

Navigating the hidden halls of the Hilton, you can find some pretty cool/weird/boring tech that is eagerly waiting for a retailer to order and distribute. We found this little UMPC gem “Vistagami” running Windows Vista with the Origami Experience Pack (we think). This prototype was a little rough around the edges, with a joystick that…

Lasonic “Ghetto Blaster”

Lasonic showed off their prototype old school boombox that has been updated for the new millennium of hipsters. As Justin Timberlake’s Sexy Back put the group into hypnotic pop Nirvana, we admired the 5 band equalizer, USB/SD/MP3 support, DVD drive with display and sweet analog tuner. Hopefully Lasonic will actually bring this to market for…

Zeitgeist Clock is World’s Smallest, Crappiest Museum

The pretentiously-named Zeitgeist Clock claims to be the “smallest museum in the world.” How so? Well, it stores artwork on it that is then shown throughout the day. It’s called a clock, so I assume there are clock functions as well, but where they are on the product itself isn’t exactly clear from the photos.…

Minihorn: Loud Enough to Wake the Dead

The minihorn is one helluva noisemaker. About the size of a film canister, it sounds like a tenor saxophone at full blast. Perfect for making some serious racket at that cockfight you have planned for this weekend. There was a guy pimping the little noisebombs, quite happy to rattle the rafters of the Sands Expo.…

There is nothing like sleeping in a little on the weekend, and waking up to the smell of bubbling hot coffee…fragrance.
