BlackBerry Advertisement That Never Made It
The advertising folks at RIM had an edgy commercial that never made it to air. The video shows a “Blackberry” bullet blasting through an “Apple”. The best part of the entire thing is that the Blackberry Storm sucks… badly. Oh… and by the way, the advertising team at Apple has nothing to worry about as […]
Amazon Kindle Version 2
Amazon has already sold over 500,000 versions of the Kindle e-book reader. The Kindle 2 is the same thing… but with a bunch of improvements.

UMID’s Mini Notebook – Super Tiny
The tiny laptop rage is out of control… the latest by UMID puts the EEE PC to shame when it comes to it’s size. This tiny netbook uses an Atom CPU, 1GB of memory, and a 32GB SSD drive. Everything wireless seems to be jammed into this little package, WiBro, digital TV receivers, HSDPA, WiMAX, […]
Amazing Flashlight Charges In Just 90 Seconds
Flashlights spend most of their lives sitting idle… while the batteries lose their charge. So, that one time when you go looking for the flashlight in an emergency it is dead.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic – Another iPhone Killer (Attempt)
I am not an Apple fan boy, but I do believe that anyone releasing a product that claims to challenge the 900lb gorilla that is the iPhone needs to bring a pair of brass balls and a cup to the fight. Looks like Nokia is doing just that. Launching in India, the latest “iPhone killer”, […]
IOData’s Overpriced Mini Bluetooth Keyboard
If you are one of the nerds who busts out a keyboard to work on your PDA or phone during meetings… I hope you catch a cold. IOData disagrees with me and thinks that folks need a mini Bluetooth keyboard for their BT gadgets. I am sure some dorks are getting excited by this […]
4100 Lumen Flashlight – Starts Fires And Cooks Eggs
The folks at wicked lasers have a super cool, super bright flashlight dubbed “the torch”. The torch flashlight is 4100 lumens and some argue is just too bright. I would disagree with the “too bright” crowd if only the battery would last longer… 15 minutes of on time just isn’t enough. Oh… and the price […]
