Buhel Speakgoggle G33 Intercom: for audio
conferences while skiing

post from Ubergizmo on 03 February 2012 11:46:59 PM. © Ubergizmo

If you’re looking for a new pair of goggles to go with your new skis and outfit on your next ski trip, you might want to check out the Buhel Speakgoggle G33 Intercom. While most goggles are only capable of protecting your eyes from the snow, and bright light, the Buhel Speakgoggle takes it up a notch: by acting as a hands-free kit for your mobile phone as well. It uses Bluetooth to pair up with your device, and features buttons on the side of the goggles for you to control the playback of your music or to pick up and answer calls ? a good idea since the gloves on your hands will probably prevent you from using your touchscreen anyway.

Sony Ericsson Xperia NX up for pre-order next
week

post from Ubergizmo on 03 February 2012 05:13:17 PM. © Ubergizmo

Remember the Sony Xperia S that was launched during CES 2012 last month? The phone was reported to be arriving sometime in March in the UK, but it looks like it’ll be arriving in Japan a month earlier. According to reports online, the phone (known as the Xperia NX in Japan) will go up for pre-order on February 10th and will be arriving on NTT DoCoMo on February 24^th ? about a week earlier than the UK release. Since the dates aren’t too far apart, we can only hope that it will be the same for the US version as well.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia NX/S will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3″ 1280 x 720 display with Reality Display and Mobile Bravia Engine, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a 12-megapixel camera with Exmor R photo sensor. Anybody looking forward to pick up this device?
