A look at Google Mobile on T-Mobile G1
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Design, Google, Handhelds, Videos,
If you are curious about how Google services will work on the Android platform, Eric from Google is here to give us a look. Google products like search, maps, YouTube, Gmail, contacts, calendar, and Google Talk are all included in the Android operating system used by the T-Mobile G1. Basically, you sign in to your Google account once, and all your information syncs to the web. Any changes made on the web sync back to your phone. It’s like a free version of MobileMe - yeah, I said it. Check out the video above for a walkthrough of Google features on the G1.

Last year Thanko came out with an Easy Desk. This year it’s the Easy Desk Cool 2. It will hold all sizes of laptops and adjusts its angle with a push of the button. You can also raise or lower it when you are upright. The built-in USB fan will keep your sweaty palms nice and cool. When you are done, fold the desk up and stash it under your bed or couch. Pre-order the $92.00 EDC2 or contact the company for more details.

GM Finally Unveils Chevy Volt
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Design, GPS, Transportation, Wireless / WiFi,
If you live in Michigan, you couldn’t help but be inundated with news about the official unveiling of the Chevy Volt. Run on electricity from its 16-kWh, lithium-ion battery, it has a gas/E85-powered engine to sustain the battery and keep the car moving. GM estimates that a driver who drives about 40 miles per day should save about $1,500 a year. Other features include a 7-inch touchscreen display, climate and infotainment controls, GPS, and Bluetooth capability. Unfortunately, GM won’t even begin production until 2010 on the $40,000 car.

Zune 3.0: All the details
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Features, Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Software,
Okay, we’ve been hitting you with snippets of Zune news all day, especially as it pertains to the hardware. Now it’s time to break down all the changes that the Zune 3.0 software is bringing, both from the hardware side of things, as well as the software client side of things. On the hardware side of things, we are seeing new features like support for games, the ability to buy songs tagged while using the FM radio, and the ability to browse and download from the Zune Marketplace directly from the device itself. Over on software, we see a bunch of improvements to the client that are all focused on music discovery and helping you experience your music library in a whole new way. A lot of the changes seem geared towards Zune Pass subscribers (which, by the way, we think is the best deal in music). Click on through for an in-depth look at all the important changes that Zune 3.0 brings.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Features, Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Okay, so the new Zune 3.0 software is live, and we have new Zune hardware to go along with it. We figured we’d bring you a look at the Zune 120 and Zune 16 that just came out, as compared to last years Zune 80 and Zune 8. The changes in the hardware are all cosmetic, which to us meant that the best way to show it to you guys was in a gallery. As you will see, this years Zune are focused on gloss and sheen, as opposed to last years matte two-tone look. Hit the Zune comparison gallery for all the shots.

Hi-Can System Canopy Bed
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Movies, Music, Video Games,
Bedrooms can’t get any better than this. The Hi-Can (High Fidelity Canopy) system starts with a high tech canopy bed. Italian designer Edoardo Carlino added a hi-fi sound system that supports MP3 audio and an integrated video projection that can be used as a computer monitor or TV for watching or video game play. Although it is still at the prototype stage, Deta will be releasing the system. See the Hi-can site for more “gimme” images.

Travis Watkins got together with other students and the University of So. Florida to build a wheelchair for his father who has Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He wanted the OFF-Road to roam on uneven surfaces such as grass, dirt, or sand. The University was so impressed that they will be offering the chair through their Rehab Ideas spin off company. We expect even with the $4,495.00 price tag, they will still have plenty of takers.

We came across Jason’s Creations on Etsy and dug his USB Flash Drive Fingers. He describes them as both “cool and creepy.” We agree. There are four of them at this point, each plug and play and test driven. Pick one for $20.00 or look at his other ideas that include a Han Solo Carbonite USB Flash Drive, various strange coaster sets, and a lamp made from a Sobe Green Tea bottle with LEDs.
