Apple iTunes

post from I4U News on 25 October 2006 02:28:25 PM. © I4U News

SONY is bad for you

post from Fosfor Gadgets on 25 October 2006 02:08:16 PM. © Fosfor Gadgets

Hey, come on SONY. First of all they pulled the European launch of the PS3 together with idiotic statements like Europeans really don’t mind waiting for SONY products (yeah, right - puh-leaze!!), and now they have forced Lik-Sang.com (world’s largest grey market supplier of gaming products) to shut down. SONY - that’s nothing but [...]

Magnagrip Tool Wristband - never lose a nail
again (the other type of nail!)

post from Shiny Shiny on 25 October 2006 02:05:47 PM. © Shiny Shiny

Dropping nails, screws and tools when you're in the midst of a job is a pain and can bring the project to a yawning halt whilst you go in search of more. Practical types keep their things in tool boxes but gadgety types wear a magnagrip wristband. As you can possibly guess from it's name, it's magnetic and although lightweight, apparently strong enough to hold a hammer (how do you lose that?) They also say it expands to fit all sizes and I hope that means it's small enough to fit narrower wrists too - $15.95

The extremely malleable Bendiboard

The extremely malleable Bendiboard

Here's a keyboard that will put your eyes out of commission faster than sitting in front of a fat, chunky CRT monitor and staring at it for 10 hours straight. The pink-colored Bendiboard is extremely malleable, making it perfect for those who love snacking away at their desk. You no longer need to vacuum between the keys, as there are no deep grooves and crevices as found in traditional keyboards. Maintenance is pretty simple - all you've got to do is to take a piece of cloth and wipe the Bendiboard clean. You can invest in one today for £25, although we're not quite sure how touch typists will react to this one.One thing's for sure - it is great for frequent travelers as they can virtually roll it up and bring it just about anywhere.

Other features include 3G connectivity, dual cameras, Bluetooth 2.0 support, and an Intel Hermon modem. You can expect to see the Windows-based O2 Graphite hit store shelves soon.
