Ion Audio’s Twin Video dual-facing camera becomes more than a render, starts shipping
Posted by dnovak on December 2, 2010 · 0 Comment
Remember this little “Twin Video” freak of nature from January? Well, Ion Audio went and built the thing, and while it looks dramatically different now, the general idea is the same: one camera faces you, the other camera faces your subject. Outside of that it’s a pretty basic Flip-style camcorder, with a decent $120 price tag, SD card storage, and a rechargeable battery. Just remember, [...]

BlackBerry Empathy design concept feels bad that you’re stuck using a BlackBerry
Posted by dnovak on November 30, 2010 · 0 Comment
Rest easy, folks: we know it’s pointy at the bottom, but we’ve been assured this isn’t the BlackBerry 7100′s true successor. Instead, the so-called Empathy is the bizarre outcome of of a RIM-sponsored design project at the Art Center College of Design that touts its ability to detect the emotions of its user and his or her contacts. It’s not exactly clear how it’d [...]

Nintendo won’t be exhibiting at CES 2011 after all, will conduct meetings behind closed doors
Wait, put the cork back in the champagne, Nintendo isn’t making its triumphant return to CES after all. The Consumer Electronics Association has just blasted out a new press release, presumably with a face red with embarrassment, to correct its erroneous note that Nintendo will be an exhibitor at the 2011 tech showcase. As it turns out, Satoru Iwata’s crew have booked some meeting rooms [...]

Nikon concept cameras surface, spark rumor mill
Posted by dnovak on November 22, 2010 · 0 Comment
Is the future of photography painted in Kubrick white? It is if you believe Nikon and Canon. We’ve seen the latter’s concept in much more detail, and now a handful of pics from the Nikon Sapporo Showroom have surfaced, showcasing at least one similarly unpigmented design. The other two models, snapped and found via burner-images, look like more run-of-the-mill DSLRs, but the one that’s [...]

That’s actually in your favor this time, however, as you won’t have to trek across the countryside to one of Microsoft’s seven [...]

Miniguru Keyboard Axed, Not Coming to Retail
Posted by dnovak on July 23, 2010 · 0 Comment
At the beginning of the year, we showed you a concept for a new keyboard, called the Miniguru. With plenty of features to make typing purists out there happy, we were pretty excited about the possibilities it brought to the table. But, alas, today we are reminded all too well that a concept is just a concept, and they can come to an end all too quickly. Just months after its debut, it looks like the [...]

When you get married, you want everything to be special for you and your partner. And while the dress may be unique, the wedding itself may be just like someone else’s in the past. Especially when it comes to rings. For the most part, there seem to be only so many different variations you can have out there, unless you start thinking outside of the box, that is. For one man, he definitely thought [...]

RIM BlackBerry 9800 Shows Signs of a Death Grip Issue
Posted by dnovak on July 20, 2010 · 0 Comment
At Apple’s event the other day, Steve Jobs went out of his way to tell the world, or at least everyone watching, why the iPhone 4 has been suffering from signal issues. And he did a good job of it, too. In fact, he did such a good job, that he actually managed to drag just about every phone manufacturer on the planet into the ring with him, and explain that it’s not just an iPhone, or an Apple [...]

I am familiar with the Tag-Heuer brand as the maker of some really cool watches. I didn’t know the company also made glasses. The company is showing off an interesting set of glasses that are for nighttime driving. The eyewear line has Squadra Night Vision optics, which aren’t night vision like you might hope where you can see in darkness. These night vision optics lenses are designed to give [...]

All of the smartphones have had cases on the market that have a battery inside to extend the runtime. The new iPhone 4 also needs a case to help prevent the antenna from being blocked. A company called Exogear has announced a new Exolife case for the iPhone 4. The case has [...]

Spotify for Linux launches for premium subscribers

Streaming music service Spotify has launched a Linux version of their software, now allowing open-source aficionados access to their catalog. Following Spotify’s Windows and Mac clients – and their various mobile apps – the early build still lacks some of the more advanced functionality of its siblings, including cached local storage for offline listening.

Energy Sistem 52 Touch Showcased With Plenty of Renders
Here’s another product line-up for the over-saturated personal media player market. Not that options are a bad thing, mind you. Energy Sistem has just pulled the curtain off their 52 Touch line-up of devices, but manages to only show off a full array of digital renders, and not the actual devices. That’s better than nothing, we imagine. Features wise, here’s what you’re looking at: Integrated [...]

Folding Shower Lets You Choose Where Your Shower Goes
If memory serves, the last time we showcased a folding piece of bathroom gadgetry, it was a toilet — and it was far more compact than this big thing is. Not that we’d expect a shower to be all that compact, but considering the market that the designers are aiming this thing for, we would think that size would be a focal point. As of right now, the designers are looking for a manufacturer and distributor [...]

Microsoft Kinect Will Let You Play Sitting Down, Only When Sitting Makes Sense
Whether or not you own a Nintendo Wii, you’ve probably seen the commercials. Or know someone who owns one, and have experienced the gameplay for yourself. With that in mind, we all know that Nintendo intended for people to get off the couch and actually interact with their games on a whole “new” level. Sure, there’s some commercials out there that show plenty of folks sitting on their couch, [...]

Uplink Audio Strap System Makes Solar Panels Flexible Enough to Take Jogging

And, thanks to this new concept, we can safely say that someone out there will probably be super excited about this. No, it’s definitely not as light weight as, [...]

Hulu Plus Requires PSN+ Only for Preview Period
Right on the heels of the official announcement from Hulu that Hulu Plus is real, came the down-right depressing news that PlayStation 3 owners would be forced with a decision: want that Season Ticket for all your favorite shows? Then sign up for PSN+ — no ifs, ands, or buts about it. It may have not been a big deal to everyone, but there’s always a few people out there that don’t want to [...]

Lenovo chairman Liu Chuanzhi has described Steve Jobs as “a big pearl”, and said that his company is “lucky that Steve Jobs has such a bad temper and doesn’t care about China.
