Splashpower, one of the many companies striving to bring us all wireless charging in our gadgets, has sadly had to end its run. It never even really produced an actual product, but they did do a lot of research and development which hopefully someone will pick up the pieces from.
So while Vincent was at CTIA he managed to pick up one Plantronics’ latest headsets, the fashionable Discovery 925 that we wrote about earlier this week. Not only did we get his review of the product, some more shots, and even a video review, but we got some more info too.
No, instead it’s a giant manufacturing grade one-armed robot with a plastic version of a Titanic-sized propeller on the front of it that spins like a fan. As if that wasn’t creepy enough, it moves, and using the cameras on its base it can follow you round, like as if its aiming at you.
I can only imagine how many times someone has been designing the interior of a high end house, ran across the list of requirements, saw music server, and immediately started thinking of ways/places to hide it away in. Well, with this unit you won’t have to or want to hide it away as it’s actually quite attractive and is more functional when out in the open where you can use the touchscreen which appears to feature some sort of CoverFlow-like browsing system.
In case you’ve forgotten, you can use this tool to unlock, activate, jailbreak, and BootNeuter your iPhone using firmware versions 1.1.4 or 2.0(1.2). It is also supposed to make porting other operating systems to the iPhone a breeze along with running unsigned code a lot easier.

We have some more details; first off, apparently it will only be showing up in ATT’s “Experience” stores. Those are 12 stores located in NYC, ATL, San Antonio, and San Francisco starting on April 7th.
Not only does this Icy Box NAS box hold a couple of SATA HDDS, any capacity, and share it all on the network, but it does so much more. For starters, you can set up the two drives to run in RAID 0 or 1, Span, or JBOD configurations.
This external hard drive is directed at creative professionals and video editors who need a lot of fast storage space so they can do their work. This drive can certainly provide it and won’t be slowed by the interface by which it connects to your computer either since it has four of them.
Panasonic is announcing a new addition to their Lumix line of digital cameras. This particular one has a touchscreen on the back, 5x optical zoom, a 10.1MP shot and a mega wide-angel Leica DC lens measuring at 25mm wide.
This particular CloudBook model packs in an 8.9” WVGA display, a VIA C7-M ULV processor, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth, GPS, and 2x 2MP webcams. But the most important feature is the addition of support for Sprint’s upcoming Xohm WiMAX network.
