I’ve never really been a fan of wireless headsets. It always takes me a second to realize that the man standing next to me in line at the grocery store is actually in the middle of a phone conversation, not the crazed one sided dialog that it seemed. But I’ll make a concession for this cool new concept from LG.
How many robotic explorers has the US sent into space? I’d say around sixteen, give or take a few. All we get back are grainy images that look no better than the $15 dollar webcam you can buy at the corner store. Leave it to the Japanese space program to strap a Hi-def camera to their first lunar satellite, and the resulting images are breathtaking.
A bit of nostalgia for your MP3 player. This faux boom box is a bit of a do-it-yourself project. It’s shipped as flat cardboard with two speakers and two AA batteries. I can’t guarantee that the sound quality will be phenomenal, but it would be a cool desktop speaker system for the cubical.
The SP-NA640 is an interesting concept. Basically it scans whatever you feed in, turns it in to an image and emails it to a cell phone or computer. It may be quicker than scanning an image on a flatbed scanner, and emailing it yourself. I’m sure there are a hundred other things you could do with the desk space that it would take up.

Looks like the new Zune has already been hacked. Nothing major, it just allows you to do something that you should be able to do without editing the registry. Change a few characters here and there and you have yourself a giant USB drive.
Lantic Systems has released a solid gold version of it’s already expensive RC1 remote. The circular remote will control just about anything and everything in your house. Try not to panic every time you lose this $55,000 remote between the couch and the wall.
Back in the day, Nokia could do no wrong. Everything was candy bar style and nobody knew any better. Those were the good old days of analog. and coincidentally the last time Nokia made a robust phone.
SanDisk is producing a solid state drive that works side by side your existing hard drive, to speed up booting, and eliminate long load times on frequently used files. The drive is in PCI Express form, so it will work in your desktop or notebook computers.
If you are expecting a Wii under the tree this holiday season, you may be disappointed to find you got a new sweater instead. Nintendo has announced that their production factories are working at full steam, but it will not be enough to meet the consumer demand.
