Awesome Gadgets

As of today, Nokia’s 5610 XpressMusic is available at T-Mobile. Ideal for music lovers, this slider phone has built-in FM radio and stereo bluetooth; it also has quad-band but is EDGE only.

We hate wires, and dream of the day they’ll all be eliminated. Until that day comes, Cableyoyo’s low-profile cable organizers do the job nicely, and slip right into your pocket.

The Ionic Ashtray promises to eliminate cigarette odor by giving smoke particles a negative charge and drawing it to its positively-charged dome. Whatever, it’s only $20 and looks cool.

All speaker and little else, Altec Lansing’s Orbit-MP3 speaker gets right to the point but still manages to pack in a little style. Its straightforward look comes with an equally honest price.

Knomo’s Bungo 15″ Messenger Bags look upscale due to the genuine leather flaps and sides, but their nylon construction makes them highly durable and functional.

Samsung’s U800 “Soul b” is part of their fashion line; we really dig the brushed metal finish. The cellphone obviously ranks high in design, but is also easy to use and sounds great.

Like yesterday’s Nikon S60, Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-T700 also features a 3.5″ touchscreen in lieu of buttons. We also like the internal 4GB of memory, 10 MP and ISO 3200.

Boomboxes have been called many things, from ghetto blasters to jam boxes. We can’t help but feel a bit nostalgic as we view the photos in Lyle Owerko’s Boombox Project.

Bedol’s Water-Powered Clock is so elegant that we can’t help but smile. Using water and a bit of salt, the clock extracts electrons from the solution, serving essentially as a fuel cell.

The Zen X-Fi MP3 player is a good value for the money, with up to 32GB, wi-fi, and a vibrant screen. Build quality leaves something to be desired, but it’s tough to beat its price point.

Hard Graft’s aesthetic jives with ours: simple and efficient. Their felt and leather pouches and wallets are geared towards specific gadgets like the iPhone, Kindle and Macbooks.

The slim T700 is the successor to the T610 and comes in classic two-tone black on metal. Other specs: 2″ TFT display, 3.2 MP camera, quad-band GSM, 2100 MHz UMTS 3G.

Never mind that it makes you look like a Cylon, but the GoateeSaver does promise to save time in the morning. The three metal rollers are adjustable for height and width.

If a camera and an iPod Touch got together, you’d get Nikon’s Coolpix S60. The 10 megapixel camera only has one physical button for the shutter; the entire back is a 3.5″ touchscreen.

The Colorsplash Flash is a compact addon with 12 filters to add extra color to your Lomo shots. For the uninitiated, Lomography is a form of photography that toes the line between art and fun.

Logitech is finally bringing its super-sleek 1/2″ thick diNovo Edge keyboard to the Mac. The Apple version will feature Mac-specific function keys for Mail, Safari and iTunes.

Sony’s new RHT-G500 is ideal for tight living spaces: it incorporates a 3.1 channel surround system right into the TV stand. It includes three HDMI inputs and is designed for 32″-40″ flat panel TVs.

No, it’s not another creature from Spore: the DC800 MAXX is a digital camera system for divers; included is an 8 megapixel camera and two flashes with a maximum depth of 200 feet.

Looking like an oversized cellphone charm, the 1 gb Sato USB thumb drive is styled after the most common surname in Japan. One character serves as the drive while the other as the cap.

The Axon Razorback Anti-Gravity Racer is an RC hovercraft that can hit up to 45 mph; this bad boy drifts and jumps like none other. Available sometime in September: daddy wants.
