With all the cool rabbit-like things that you can pull from your hat to impress the ladies, why would you choose a discontinued mp3 player? Well, it appears that Pakatun assumed that the iPod Shuffle's low-end reign would never end, and now we have to pay the price with an onslaught of Shuffle Beanies. The beanies come in multiple colors, keep your ears reasonably warm and music-filled, and cost $22.00. That's a small price to pay to let the world know that you just can't seem to let go of the mediocre things in your life. Speaking of which: Sheila, if you're out there, can you call me?
Seiko Instruments has announced a new Bluetooth enabled watch that can link up with your cell phone. The BT Watch allows you to remotely adjust the volume of your phone's ringtone, view email and SMS message alerts, and see the name and number of the people who call you. It will also be great way to show people on the bus just how many times your mother can call you in a ten minute span. As you can see in the video, this watch is huge. Why don't you just tape your phone to your wrist instead? It will save you a lot of embarrassment.
Everyone has a dog. Everyone has their own personal airplanes. Everyone worries about their dog's hearing when they fly them around in their plane. Well, I'm here today to let Everyone know that they can breathe a sigh of relief. Mutt Muffs, whose name will be changed if the inventor ever learns basic slang, provide ear protection from the loud cockpit noises of your Cessna. Why stop there? Mutt Muffs will finally let you bring your dog to the handgun range and the front row of concerts! Mutt Muffs are currently shipping, but I say it's best to wait for the models with iPod support.
Matrox Graphics has revealed a new product that can increase the amount of monitors on your Windows-compatible computer. If your computer meets the requirements, you will only need to plug the TripleHead2Go into your machine to bathe yourself in the warming glow of up to three monitors. Of course, we all know that it takes three (3) monitors to make you forget just how alone you really are. To be released in April, this product is a surefire way to spend hundreds of dollars on more monitors.
As people get lazier and lazier, we rely more and more on robots. What happens when the robots that we trust don't live up to their duty? Well, we get better robots with cameras and sensors and a thirst for human blood. With this in mind, Korean robot manufacturer (and harbinger of the robot apocalypse) Hanool Robotics has developed Ottoro, a robot vacuum that will directly compete with the popular Roomba. Ottoro comes with 30 sensors, the ability to vacuum corners, and 2 cameras to keep tabs on its pitiful human "owners."
Wilcom is releasing a new version of their powerful W-ZERO3 smartphone on March 8th. The phone will have all of the same capabilities as the old W-ZERO3, including a 3.7 inch touchscreen, 416MHz processor, 64MB of RAM, MiniSD slot, and 1.33 megapixel camera. In fact, the only change that they are making to this model is the special silver color which, Willcom implies, will better target the female market. Willcom feels that women are only interested in the silver color, and I disagree. Women are usually interested in monster truck rallies, drunken knife fights, snakes, and fighter jets. If Willcom could somehow incorporate those into a phone, I bet even your mom would buy two.
