NTC Mini G2
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
Now this is one truly mixed up clone that doesn't really know where its original heritage lies. We suppose it was supposed to reflect the HTC G2, better known as the HTC Magic. Unfortunately, you know for sure that the $102 price point would translate to run-of-the-mill specifications that won't drop jaws anytime soon - although it does feature dual SIM card slots for the busy executive, an integrated TV tuner and FM radio support alongside a 2.6" touchscreen display at 240 × 320 resolution. This won't run on the Android operating system, that's for sure.

Supertendo Mod
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
The SNES has been turned into a variety of mods over the years, but this one from Marshall takes the cake - with some swearing it to be a secret official product. Dubbed the Supertendo, this professional made custom handheld design works great with the SNES cartridge fitting in snugly behind. Too bad this is a one-of-a-kind portable console that won't see action anytime soon.
Finger Dance Alarm Clock
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
This is one of the zanier alarm clocks we've come across - the Finger Dance Alarm Clock that will keep on ringing to make sure you get out of bed, unless your fingers are able to hit the correct sequence as depicted by the lights. Definitely great to get notorious slow starters out of bed, and if you hit the wrong sequence, don't expect the alarm to shut off. Not a recommended purchase for those living with a roommate, but if you're single (or married), then you'd best let your more alert other half shut the alarm for you. The Finger Dance Alarm Clock is going for £9.99 - we wonder whether there'll be any moonwalk sequence?
WoodSmart Racing Car Simulator
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
If you're rich enough to purchase a racing car simulator for your abode, then you might want to consider the WoodSmart Racing Car Simulator that comes with an actual racing seat with a LCD TV for its display, mounted over a bracket. There are three models available currently which works with the PS3 and Xbox 360, and will come in various color schemes to suit your home's surroundings. Retailing for around $1,600 a pop, it comes as just the base alone, so you'll need to furnish your own console, LCD TV and steering wheel. Wonder whether this wood is treated or not to avoid termites munching ito it.
Teclast C500HD Portable Media Player
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
Teclast's latest portable media player, the C500HD is one device that is HD ready, capable of supporting 720p video while featuring an HDMI output that lets you enjoy your downloaded HD videos in 720p glory over a HD reader LCD/plasma TV. Too bad the memory maxes out at just 4GB, making us wonder whether it can even hold an entire movie, so it might be best to stick to short video clips that are best viewed over its 5" display at 800 x 600 resolution.
Roxy JBL Reference 430 Headphones Hands-On
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
JBL partnered with Roxy to launch these headphones a month ago and I have tested them for a few days. I like the bright and fun design that for sure is appealing to the young generation and might be targeted to the female audience, given the color palette (pink and orange) and the picture on the product page, however there is also a green and blue version, for the boys who do not dare to wear pink. The product comes with a cool looking pouch ornamented with bright colored drawings (see gallery), I like the subtle organic design that "grows" on the headband as well.

Why Cry Baby Analyzer
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
Babies cry simply because that's the only way they communicate, and seasoned parents will be able to decipher the little one's cries with enough practice and discernment, although it is mostly a guessing affair with the first kid. ThinkGeek goes one step further by offering the Why Cry Baby Analyzer which uses advanced frequency analysis technology that is able to decipher the reason behind your child's crying within 20 seconds - letting you know whether he/she is stressed, sleepy, annoyed, bored or hungry through the LCD display. You can pick it up for $99.99 a pop, and it does cut you some slack through some nights where the incessant crying can be disregarded.
MSI X400 Ultraportable Notebook
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
MSI has revealed more details concerning its X400 ultraportable notebook that come with "personalized" color bezels around the lip of the frame and its trackpad. Touted to be one of the thinnest, lightest systems in the world with a screen size of less than 1" thick while tipping the scales at a mere 3.3 pounds, the X400 will be powered by Intel's CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) processor range alongside 2GB RAM, a 320GB hard drive, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity and GMA 4500 integrated video with HDMI output. Those who opt for higher-end models will end up with double the RAM amount, a 500GB hard drive and even an external DVD or Blu-ray optical drive. There is no word on pricing, but do look out for the X400 to hit US shores in due time.
Zer01 Mobile Launched
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
Folks who have always wanted unlimited voice and data on a smartphone can now look forward to Zer01 Mobile where $79.99 per month will net you unlimited voice (MoIP), data and messaging over AT&T’s data networks, while throwing in another $10 monthly results in unlimited international calling to around 40 countries. There is one catch though - Zer01 will need to install its proprietary software on your handset, or you can always opt for a phone from the company itself that already comes with the software pre-loaded. Only Windows Mobile handsets are supported at this moment, although they're working on compatibility issues with BlackBerry, Android and other operating systems.
More Apple Patent Applications
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
You can bet your bottom dollar that the recent iPhone 3GS won't be the last handset released by Apple as a trio of recently unearthed patent applications havef shown. The first of these three is a haptic feedback concept employing a “grid of piezoelectronic actuators” which will work together to form a fully tactile touchscreen. Theoretically speaking, such a device will vibrate the actuators in various combinations at different frequencies in order to provide a range of tactile responses. Another two patents include fingerprint identification as an input method and an RFID tag reader located in the actual display panel of a device so that the device is able to handle RFID tags. No idea on when these patents will be incorporated into a future iPhone iteration, but you can be sure the future is going to be one exciting ride!
Archos 9 Heading For US
Story posted on: July 2, 2009
Archos 9 will be one of the next device that will hit the US later this month, where this Windows 7-powered device will come with a 9" touchscreen alongside a virtual keyboard. Folks who are more used to navigation with a mouse, the right side of the device contains an optical trackball and buttons. The Archos 9 will resemble a Mobile Internet Device more than a netbook, where it will run on an Intel Z515 Atom processor, 1GB RAM, Wi-fi connectivity and a 120GB hard drive. There is no word on pricing, but it will arrive later this fall between the $500 to $700 price range.
