Korean Phone Concept Turns Your Hand into a Mobile

Think touch-screen phones are cool? A designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea has designed a cell phone concept that turns your grimy hand into a mobile. The idea is pretty simple.

Be a Part of History: Own a Gizmondo

A sad, sad person in Fort Worth, Texas somehow ended up with 15 Gizmondos and is ready to pass the awesomeness of the Gizmondo on to you. This thing can do GPS, media playback and other stuff, but it is most famously linked to one tore-up Enzo. Fifty bones isn’t bad for a GPS device,…

coo.boo Digital Cookbook Concept

We love a good conceptual design around these parts. The coo.boo is a horribly named digital cookbook spatula. The idea for this spatula is pretty far-fetched, but it is supposedly in a prototype phase and may eventually be available. The “face” of the spatula has an LCD screen that displays recipes and can sync to…

Low End Theory: The Pantheon of Low-End Goodness

By Brendan I. Koerner Look, I’m not going to lie to you: a lot of low-end gadgets aren’t exactly built to last. I’m sure everyone out there in Gizmodoland has a tale to share about the $9 faux Discman that shattered within 48 hours, or the drugstore digicam with the exploding flash. As I’ve written…

Coolest… Lamps… Ever…

There’s pretty much no info on these, and I can’t find any way to purchase them, but god damn, these have got to be the coolest lamps I have ever seen. All I can gather is that they were designed and created by Frank Buchwald, who happens to be German. Does one of our German-speaking…

Radar Detector with GPS Memorizes Speed Traps

The Passport 9500i is a radar detector that has GPS loaded into it, giving you even more of an excuse to dangerously speed without worrying about getting busted. The GPS doesn’t do anything fancy like give you directions — no, that would be boring. Instead, it memorizes the locations of speed traps to better warn…

TI-84 Calculator: Class Time Portable Media Player

With a little magic, someone transformed a TI-84-Plus calculator into a portable media player. Once properly connected to a USB-based storage device, the TI-84’s monochrome screen displays whatever it’s hooked up to. Here, we see The Matrix being played back in full calculator resolution glory. Life changing? Debatable. Clever way to kill time during class?…

Archos 704 Caught in the Wild

Hot on the heels of the 604 Wi-Fi comes Archos’ latest creation—the 704 Wi-Fi. Not much is known about the player, although it’s rumored to have a giant 7-inch touch screen. The new handheld is also being dubbed a mobile DVR, thanks to its built-in TV tuner. Other than that there’s 802.11b/g (as the name…

Goofy Light Switches Might Turn You On

Those Brits are a wacky bunch, decorating with tacky wallpaper and now topping it off with some of the most unusual light switches on the planet. Just turn this pool ball, dolphin or Mini Cooper clockwise to turn the lights on, and as you turn, it adjusts brightness, too. Too bad these are all 400-watt…

Leak: Budget GeForce 8800 Card Coming

Our trigger-happy friends at CompUSA have taken the veil off Nvidia’s unannounced GeForce 8800 GTS card. What makes this new card stand out from the pack is that rather than carry a full 512MB of RAM on board, it settles for 320MB, which makes it cheaper. $349 kinda cheap to be exact. The card is…

Buying a high-def camcorder is still considered a luxury splurge, but that hasn’t stopped some hardcore tech geeks from taking the plunge. The newest kid on the HD block is Panasonic’s HDC-SD1. Unlike other high-def shooters, the SD1 is tapeless so it stores your footage onto SD and SDHC memory cards. Because it’s tapeless, it’s…
