Peter and I are headed to Düsseldorf tomorrow afternoon in preparation for our flight out on Sunday. We would have flown in the animal cracker box back from Hanover but after the Hamburg flight we’d like to stick to big airplanes leaving the heart of hurricane Emma, not small planes flying into it. That said, if you’re in Düsseldorf tomorrow, Saturday 08/03/08, and would like to… → Read More
[photopress:jaybird.IMG_1559.JPG,full,pp_image] We can expect the Jaybird to hit our shores this summer. I don’t really see a market for standalone stereo Bluetooth headsets because so few devices have stereo Bluetooth. Luckily, the Jaybird comes with a Bluetooth iPod adapter and mini-stereo adapter and offers the user some degree of wireless control, depending on the device, via the three… → Read More
[photopress:idapt1.JPG,full,pp_image] So you have 50 chargers at your desk, one for each device. You have a Nintendo DS Lite, a Sidekick LX, and a USB-powered vibrator. Who wants all those cables? I sure don’t. Enter the iDapt. This is basically a little box with three chargers sticking out of it. It comes with standard adapters for the DSL, the iPod, USB, and most Nokia phones and other… → Read More

[photopress:blizz.IMG_1619.JPG,full,pp_image] This tiny headset charges via your USB port and can hold a MicroSD card for storage, just like a USB key. It includes a little USB cable and a car charger. Bluetrek sells quite a bit of product in the US now and this should be arriving on our shores shortly once they sew up a distribution deal. The storage part of the device makes some sense &mdash… → Read More

Here’s the Gigabyte M700 UMPC. It’s got a 7-inch, 1024×600 display and comes with 2GB, standard. It’s powered by a 1.2GHz C7-M CPU from VIA and uses Vista Home Premium as the operating system, so that 2GB of RAM will surely come in handy. It’s pretty compact and weighs only 1.43 pounds and is said to have two webcams, GPS, and a WiMax-capable ExpressCard. There’s… → Read More

[photopress:IMG_1594.JPG,full,pp_image][photopress:phoneFace.jpg,full,pp_image] I just got out of a meeting with EcoCarrier.com, of whom I’ll post in the next few days. One thing that struck me immediately, however, is that these guys had a working 3-SIM cellphone with touchscreen and keypad called the Eco123 which looks surprisingly like a rebadged zzzPhone. While I wish neither of these… → Read More
