Dr. Who fans will be excited to see this latest bit of Dr. Who inspired gadgetry. Although the Dalek played a slightly evil role in the series, you can put it to work with a much simpler task. However, if you have any worries about robots taking over the world, this probably isn’t the clock for you. Otherwise you might end up having Dalek related nightmares and end up smashing your clock to pieces the moment you wake up.
The wall clock not only tells you the time, but it also shines brightly through the night. Which means those that aren’t thrilled about complete darkness in their bedroom will benefit greatly from this Dalek clock. The Dalek gets a more realistic feel by sitting out from your wall a little, instead of just being a flat boring clock. Although it does seem like they slapped the clock hands on as an afterthought instead of thinking through how to make the hands look their best, at least the clock has plenty of geek appeal. To pick one up it will cost you $24.99.
Granted, the recent MacBook line updates surely stands heads and shoulders above all the other notebook releases we’ve been looking at, but that won’t stop companies like Samsung from releasing their range in the US notebook market. All the notebooks on offer consist of a quartet of categories known as Premium Thin & Light, All Purpose, Business, Desktop Replacement and Netbook. Premium Thin & Light sounds more like some sort of breakfast cereal instead of a notebook, but I’ll let it slide this once. Let’s take a look at the different types in greater detail right after the jump.
First off we have the X360 and X460 which come in 13.3″ and 14.1″ sizes, respectively. These will fall under the aforementioned Premium Thin & Light segment, with prices starting from $1,599 upwards. Samsung claims that the X360 is “lighter than air” - an obvious jibe at the MacBook Air which weighs in at 3 pounds, as the X360 is lighter than that despite achieving a battery life of up to 10 hours at a stretch. Both the X360 and X460 will feature Samsung’s latest 300 nits SuperBright LED backlit LCD display.
The Samsung NC10 falls under the netbook category, and you can expect all the basic netbook specifications including a 10.2″ wide SuperBright LCD, enhanced capacity battery and spacious 160GB hard drive, with prices starting from just $499. As for the Q310, this highly portable all-purpose notebook will retail for $1,149 and $1,299, depending on the configuration, carrying a 13.3″ wide LCD. The R610 on the other hand is a mid-range notebook that acts as a desktop replacement, burning a $1,049 hole in your wallet with its 16″ wide LCD display. To round off the Samsung releases, we have the enterprise-focused P460 and P560 semi-rugged notebooks that will start from $1,149 to $1,399, respectively. Below are the system specifications in greater detail.
Samsung X Series (X360 and X460)
13.3- and 14.1-inch wide LED backlit LCD displays with 300 nits of brightness
128GB Solid State Drive Option
Only 2.8 lbs. and up to 10 hrs. for X360
Only 4.2 lbs. and up to 5 hours for X460
Microsoft Windows Vista® Business
Samsung P Series
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS dedicated graphics
Spill resistant keyboard & shock resistant hard disk drive
USB Sleep-and-Charge/eSATA Combo Port: This unique port provides convenience and speed by allowing data transfers to and from an eSATA external hard drive at rates up to five times faster than USB 2.0, and the ability to charge select USB mobile devices whether the laptop is on, off, or in sleep or hibernation mode
I certainly did not bet on seeing a portable version of the Dreamcast eight years ago, but today we have super powerful handheld consoles like the Sony PSP and its less technologically proficient DS Lite rival which far outstripped the home consoles of the 1990s in terms of processing power. What happens when you want to get your defunct Dreamcast up and running in a portable form factor? Sega certainly won’t open its doors for you to enter into its R&D labs, leaving you to do things for yourself. Enter hailrazer who has taken his Dreamcast and churned it into a portable form factor known as the DarthCast, thanks to the Lazer Doodle shell. It has a battery life of three hours and uses a PSOne LCD display. Talk about a true Frankenstein!
Telecommunications giant AT&T and SouthWing have come together to offer the new SouthWing SH241 Bluetooth headset which is bundled with AT&T’s service, offering users the opportunity to access the latest news updates that are streamed directly to the Bluetooth headset itself, letting you know the latest happenings around the world before your friends do. These news updates are also augmented by travel, finance, weather and sports information, but make sure your handset has Bluetooth connectivity beforehand (absent-minded moments do happen you know). What makes the SH241 more interesting is the Instant Alibi feature that lets users call themselves out from a meeting - neat! You can pick up the SouthWing SH241 Bluetooth headset for $39.99 at all AT&T stores in the US.
There has recently been a law passed where I live that says that all cell phone calls made in cars must be hands-free. I suppose this is designed to prevent accidents from inattentive drivers always on the phone, but I still see drivers with cell phones pressed to their ears in blatant violation of this law.
Maybe these drivers need an Ego Flash. The Ego Flash has nothing to do with a motivational talk in any way, but an advanced Bluetooth hands-free device for the automobile.
The Ego Flash has two components, one of them is the actual processor of the two, and the other is the device with a 1.6 inch OLED display. This display has caller ID, controls the phone, it can hang up, and even do redials.
It can also do text messaging, and it will even read them aloud. By the way, did I mention that the Ego Flash can hold 10,000 phone contacts? It is also able to play MP3s right from the phone itself.
The Ego Flash is able to pair up with ten phones, and it can accept A2DP stereo Bluetooth streaming and AVRCP remote control. If you feel that you need an Ego Flash, go ahead and head over to the official website, and it will tell you exactly where to buy it.
It’s about that time to start looking into warm coats to shield us from the cold. Well one company has decided to make a ski jacket that will not only keep you warm, but keep your gadgets charged as well. It has a solar panel built into the collar itself. There have been a few different designers that have attempted to slip a solar panel onto an article of clothing, but a lot of them end up looking ridiculous. This ski jacket actually doesn’t look too bad with the built-in solar panel.
One cool extra feature is that you can take the collar off of the jacket. Which means that even when you aren’t using the jacket you can put the solar panel in the window to charge up your gadgets. That also means you could use this solar panel year round. It is also waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about snow or rain damaging the solar panel. Unfortunately the jacket is pretty expensive.  To get one of your own it will end up costing you $1,350.
I’m sure all of you know that two is better than one, and that applies with the monitor for your computer. Of course, most of the true geeks out there have two monitors of equal size. However, for those who just want a tiny little screen for checking on an application or two, this USB Bus-powered LCD is for you.
A company called Century Japan has created a 4.3 inch WVGA display that is not only practical, but it is environmentally friendly. You see, this display is powered by the USB bus itself and will not pollute the planet as well as other tech devices are prone to do.
So what good is an extra screen, especially one so tiny? Well, how about getting some extra real estate on your desktop or laptop? I mean, I have three applications going on my laptop at any given time. Usually it is an Internet Explorer program on the top, a word processing program in the lower left hand corner, and some sort of video program going in the lower right hand corner.
If someone tries to Instant Message me, I always have to push that pesky new window out of the way. Now I can just put it on the 4.3 inch USB screen. In fact, if I want even more real estate on my screen, I can add up to seven of these mini-screens to my computer. Of course, I will need some sort of adaptor for all these USB ports.
By the way, this tiny screen is compatible with not just PCs, but they can be attached to Macs. If you want this extra space, feel free to shell out $200 for this PC accessory. Source
Being a full grown adult I probably shouldn’t admit how much I still love bubbles, or that I find this gadget incredibly cool. Not because I have offspring or because I have a niece or nephew that would love it. Merely because having a bubble machine in your bathtub is definitely sweet. For those that are thinking about something like this for the kids, it might keep them entertained while you attempt to give them a bath. It might even help out those with kids that are terrified of taking a bath.
Sometimes bath toys aren’t enough to keep a scared child under control, but if they have an obsession with bubbles then they’ll love this. The gadget comes equipped with a suction cup to attach it to the wall of your bath. It works with any bubble solution you prefer to use. Just press the button to flip it on and it will start blowing bubbles. It’s a fairly simple and straightforward gadget. To pick one up it will cost you £9.99 or for those of us in the US it’s on Amazon for $12.90.
SanDisk is still in the MP3 player game with its latest offering, the Sansa slotMusic player. This plug and play device targets the new slotMusic cards that have been recently unveiled in the US. You will be able to buy the Sansa slotMusic player for $20, and this device is able to play slotMusic card albums or a microSD memory card filled to the brim with MP3 files of your choice - just make sure those files are DRM-free in the first place. The artist-branded slotMusic player comes with its own slotMusic card and a design that features the artist’s name and image. Europe and the rest of the world will have to wait until 2009 to see a shadow of the slotMusic Player. As with any other self-respectable MP3 players, you will find that this model can be augmented with accessories such as a Sansa Card Wallet, an armband and additional slotMusic player “shellsâ€.
Folks who want to remain connected at all times can look forward to this new USB modem from AT&T known as the AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver.
The AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver is the first USB mobile broadband device worldwide to use the Icera Livanto chipset, providing the latest features in one of the world’s smallest HSPA USB devices that weighs just 1.2 ounces. Based on the global standard for wireless â€" GSM â€" the Quicksilver provides access to not only the nation’s fastest 3G network but also to international data roaming in more than 150 countries, with 3G available in more than 60 of those countries. AT&T has the nation’s fastest 3G network, delivering LaptopConnect customers typical downlink 3G speeds between 700 kilobits per second (Kbps) and 1.7 megabits per second (Mbps) and typical uplink 3G speeds between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps.
You will be able to pick up the AT&T Quicksilver for free (hard to believe, eh) as long as you also sign up for two-year DataConnect plan of $60 or more. Of course, the USBConnect Quicksilver can also be picked up as a standalone device for $250.
Apple is on a roll today with a brand new LED Cinema Display to tempt your wallets even in these harsh economic times. This stunning 24″ LED backlit widescreen display comes with an integrated iSight video camera, microphone and speakers - and Apple engineers and designers managed to cram all of the above into an elegant, thin aluminum and glass enclosure. Nice to see Apple continue to place product design a class above the rest, even if that means the ordinary consumer has to fork out much more money. Targeting the newly released MacBook family, this Apple LED Cinema Display comes with a built-in MagSafe charger, three USB 2.0 ports and the new Mini DisplayPort that makes it a snap for MacBook users to hook up in an instant, powering not only their notebooks but favorite peripherals as well.
This 24″ glossy, widescreen display as a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, making it suitable for you to view all your videos in full High Definition. Thanks to LED backlit technology, you will be able to enjoy instant full screen brightness without having to cough up a bundle at the end of the month for your power bill. Power efficiency is definitely a positive point here, compared to older displays that depend on LCD technology. The LED Cinema Display is suspended by an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge for almost effortless tilting. Thanks to the integrated iSight video camera, microphone and speakers, one is able to kick off video conferencing via iChat in an instant. I also like the idea of the built-in universal MagSafe charger that makes it much more convenient for users to leave their notebook’s MagSafe power adapter in the travel bag.
You will be able to pick up the new LED Cinema Display this November via the usual channels, including the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. So far the LED Cinema Display comes with a recommended retail price of $899 - granted, there are many other 24″ LCD monitors out there which do not cost that much, but none of them are able to compare to the sheer beauty of the LED Cinema Display. Just make sure you have a spanking new MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with the new Mini DisplayPort or else it would be pretty much useless.
Rumors of the new Apple MacBook line are all true, and somehow or rather, the “wow” effect of seeing Steve Jobs unveil new products is no longer there since Apple failed to keep a tight lid on its upcoming devices in recent years. That doesn’t mean the new MacBook line are duds, but the initial shock attempt just isn’t there any more. I digress, and will move on to these new Apple notebooks that are constructed from a single block of aluminum with great new features despite seeing a much cheaper entry level price compared to similar class models of the previous generation.
The new range of MacBook, 15″ MacBook Pro and MacBook Air will come with a next generation, industry-standard Mini DisplayPort that can hook up to the new Apple LED Cinema Display. What makes the Mini DisplayPort so special? Well, it is able to deliver a pure digital signal that can drive up to a 30″ widescreen display without missing a beat, and is just 10% the size of a full DVI connector, making it blend in with the new MacBook family perfectly. Below are pricing details and specifications of the new MacBook family for your perusal.

If you’ve seen the Disney/PIXAR movie WALL-E last summer, then the Bandai NetTansorWeb robot will probably look strangely familiar. Robot Japan 2008 was the stage for Bandai as they presented the NetTansorWeb, which unveiled a new robotic friend with some interesting features.
The NetTansorWeb is designed with surveillance cameras, and can move around your house automatically while you are gone, checking for intruders. It has sensors that will avoid obstacles, which I can only assume stairs. You can also control the robot via Wi-Fi to check things that the autopilot is probably missing. I have no idea if you can operate the robot arms, but they look like they are just there for show. I hope that I am wrong.
Another feature of the NetTansorWeb is that it will send reports of its surveillance, and it will even blog its progress. That’s right, it will blog. It may not update your personal blog for you, but it can monitor the comments section and respond to requests for image re-uploads.
I’ve heard that the battery life is low at only two and a half hours. Is there any way it could recharge automatically, or by remote control? I guess we’ll see in December, when the NetTansorWeb is slated to come out in Japan for a price of about $500.
Several wind-up flashlights have made the rounds, usually they are kind of a pain to charge up, but they make a good spare flashlight. Plus, you can rely on them more since their batteries aren’t exactly going to die off. Well now you can pick up a shaver that is powered only by you winding it up. Which would make it ideal for a weekend of camping or if you’re overly committed you could use it on a regular basis. You would have to have a serious passion for going green though.
If you’re wondering what it will take to get this charged up, one minute of winding equals out to 1.2 minutes of shaving. Which means you either need to learn to shave fast or your going to get a bit of a workout trying to get enough of a charge to get a decent shave. Once the battery is full it will work for up to 60 minutes. It’s just going to take a little extra work to get it to that point. If you’re feeling a little lazy though, you can hook it up to the AC charger. To pick it up it will cost you £24.99 or about $44.
For those of you who want to play the drums, and can’t take a huge drum set with you, you have two options: One, you could do the beat box thing with your mouth and smack your chest and essentially annoy everyone around you. Two, you could get the Electric Drum Kit Shirt and make some real drum sounds.
Of course, there is no guarantee that you won’t still annoy those around you, but at least the Electric Drum Kit Shirt is able to make seven authentic drum sounds. You should probably checking out the YouTube video after the jump if you want to see it in action. I recommend viewing simply because of the shot of a grown man biting the head off of a teddy bear. Ozzy would not be proud.
Just to let you know, the demonstration from the video miked their shirt, so who knows how loud it really is. Still, the Electric Drum Kit Shirt has an embedded speaker that has a volume control, and is powered by 4 AAA batteries that are stored in a hidden pocket near the hem of the shirt.
In case you are wondering, you can put the shirt through the wash, but you must remove the decal and battery pack first. Definitely hang it up to dry when you are finished.
You want to get down on this action? Feel free to go over to the ThinkGeek website and lay down about $30 for it.
The evil little kitty has wormed her way onto yet another gadget, she seems to be slowly achieving her goal of world domination. She does kind of resemble the Brain of Pinky and the Brain. I’m really not seeing that as a coincidence. Beneath her giant skull lies a brain ready to take over the world. Although, her latest project won’t make it to the whole world, it will actually only be in Japan. NEC, Sanrio and French fashion designer Courreges have all teamed up to create a girls-only laptop.
Once it is made available it will only be in select online Sanrio shops. The laptop will include Vista, an AMD Athlon QL-60 processor (1.90GHz), 2GB of main memory, DVD drive, a 160GB hard disk, and finally a 13.3-inch WXGA screen with a 1280×800 resolution. The notebook will be available October 25th for $1,100. If you order it by October 28th though, NEC will toss in a Hello Kitty mouse and mouse pad. Oh joy, what girl could possibly contain herself when around all that pink.
Just like handbags and shoes are to a fashionista, you can never have enough USB ports for a geek. After all, aren’t tons of devices these days maintain connectivity to your computer via USB? Hence the ever increasing need for more USB ports on a computer, but sometimes design constraints and technical limitations do not help if you want to hook up to a dozen USB devices simultaneously. Good thing USB ports can be daisy chained using USB hubs, and IOGEAR is stepping up to meet this need with their new 3-port USB 2.0 hub.
Unfortunately, many USB hubs seem to be poorly designed, as they lack the necessary space between ports just in case there are devices that come with equally ill designed USB connectors that have absolutely no need to bulge out on one end. This will actually lead you to end up with at least one useless USB port just because it is being blocked by another device’s connector that is plugged in. IOGEAR understands this conundrum, and they have made sure that this won’t happen with the new 3-Port USB 2.0 Mobile Hub with Built-in Mini-USB Cable. Also known by its less glamorous model number, GUH276, this product features an integrated mini-USB cord and three evenly-spaced, upward-facing USB ports that ensures blockage to other outlets won’t happen even when you plug in a large dongle or flash drive to another port.
Ideal for road warriors who want more USB ports (netbooks these days aren’t too kind in this department with a trio of USB 2.0 ports at best) and students who have plenty of devices to charge simultaneously, the 3-Port USB 2.0 Mobile Hub with Built-in Mini-USB Cable sounds (and looks) like the ideal solution. It will retail for $12.95 a pop and is accompanied by a limited three-year warranty.
If you are in the US and thinking of getting a new cell phone, then maybe you could consider the Sony Ericsson W760a from AT&T. This will also be the first 3G Walkman handset to hit the US over AT&T’s network, offering a mature platform for on-the-go entertainment along with a host of other features to keep you occupied during those idle moments littered throughout the day. One interesting aspect of the W760a is the built-in accelerometer that enables customers to shake or tilt the handset in order to manipulate the playlist - going forward to the next song, skipping a track or even simulate motion while you’re busy playing games on it. I’m not too optimistic of the accelerometer when playing games on a cell phone, since you won’t be able to see anything on the display while you’re busy shaking the W760a - I guess it will be more of Wario Ware-type titles for this gaming model to be effective.
Some of the other features found on the Sony Ericsson W760a include Mobile Email, an instant messenger to stay connected with friends and family at all times, full HTML Web browsing (although the limited screen size is still a damper), a 3.2 megapixel camera for picture perfect shots and AT&T Navigator for turn-by-turn directions and mapping functions. Those who are new W760a customers will be able to treat themselves to a demonstration of the AT&T Navigator with a free 30-day trial.
Those who are interested in picking up the Sony Ericsson W760a can do so by forking out $129.99 with a two-year agreement and the hassle of a mail-in-rebate. You will be able to choose from red, black and silver colors, with silver remaining an exclusive handset to RadioShack for a limited time only.
