Nikon’s 12.1 MP Coolpix S1000pj is the world’s first compact camera with a built-in LCOS projector; it’ll project VGA images up to 40″ in size with a 30:1 contrast ratio for up to 1 hour.
Blind Ear Music’s Wi-Fi Symphony is remarkable not just because it’s run wirelessly via a system of laptops; the composer is dynamically creating music using real musicians in real-time.
Launch your own satellite with the TubeSat Kit; price includes a 0.75 kg module with solar panels and antennas, a ride aboard a NEPTUNE 30 rocket and a few weeks in low earth orbit.
Withings’ Connected Scale gives new meaning to the World “Wide” Web: it uses Wi-Fi to keep track of your weight and body fat online, which can be accessed via iPhone or browser.
A scaled-down Gorillapod, the Gorillamobile secures cellphones and mp3 players to unconventional places; it uses the same three flexible legs and includes a trio of adapters.
Available 9/2/09 at AT&T, Samsung’s Solstice is a mid-range touchscreen phone with a matching price; it packs a 3″ haptic touchscreen, HSDPA, 2 MP camera and TouchWiz UI.
Logitech’s Webcam Pro 9000 gets a significant update: it can now record in 16:9 720p HD video thanks to a 2 MP sensor (good for 8 MP still shots) and Zeiss optics with autofocus.
Leaked in a video, LG’s BL40 “New Chocolate” is official; it boasts a 4″ wide-screen LCD good for 800×345 pixels and a Dual Screen UI, with a rollout beginning Q3 ’09 in 54 countries.
If you’ve got an Xbox 360 with an HDMI port, you’re in luck: the XCM Black Light Case is a stealthy black case with LED-backlit pre-cut window that’ll rotate between seven colors.
Nikon fleshes out its entry level DSLR offerings with the new D3000; a replacement for the D60, it sports the same 10.2 MP CCD sensor but packs a larger 3″ LCD and 11-point AF system.
Stephen Hobley wowed us with his Laser Harp, but it gets better: he’s hacked it to work with open-source Guitar Hero clone Frets on Fire, appropriately dubbing it Laser Harp Hero.
Kodak’s Zi8 gives the Flip a run for its money with full HD 1080p video recording, built-in image stabilization, SD/SDHC card slot, 5 MP still picture shooting and an external mic jack.
It won’t be abducting cows anytime soon, but AESIR’s Embler is UFO-like in its use of the Coanda Effect to create lift; it’s part of a line of UAVs the aerospace company is developing.
Sounding like an iPhone 3GS, Nikon’s 12.3 MP D300S gets speed and video: HD 720p @ 24 fps recording with autofocus and faster 7fps continuous shooting are its chief improvements.
As slick as the A40 Audio System is, we’ve been hesitating until now: the Cardboard Tube Samurai Edition sports Penny Arcade tags and spearheads Astro Gaming’s Artist Series.
Leica lends its pricey and prestigious name to the Pinmaster, a laser rangefinder that can “pin”-point the distance to a pin; it’s good up to 820 yards with 7x magnification and auto-dimmer.
The Zii EGG Plaszma is a wish list come true: 3.5″, 10-point capacitive multi-touch screen, two cameras (one front-facing), 32 GB storage, Flash Lite, Wi-Fi, GPS and 1080p output.
Panasonic slims down its compacts with the 12.1 MP Lumix DMC-ZR1, which boasts the world’s first 0.3 mm aspherical lens; it also features 8x optical zoom and a 1.1 s start-up speed.
Tom Jodd’s arduino-powered Eyebrow Hat is goofiness in the name of science: it’s run by an array of servos and potentiometers that adjust the pitch and height of the eyebrows.
It still has a 10 MP sensor, but Ricoh fans will be salivating over the GR Digital III’s new noise-reducing GR Engine III, a 28 mm/F1.9 lens, and a CCD with 2x sensitivity over the old model.
Panasonic’s flagship superzoom and successor to the F28, the Lumix FZ35 features a 12.1 MP sensor and 27 mm wide angle lens with 18x optical zoom; it’ll be available September 2009.
Severed limbs have a way of repulsing people, but we still think this Luke Skywalker USB is pretty bad ass; inspired by The Empire Strikes Back, his arm detaches to reveal a 1 GB drive.
