Hands On With Lowepro’s ‘Stealth’ Camera Bag
After seeing the Gadget Lab how-to project on making a ratty, thief-proof camera bag, the bigwigs at Lowepro couldn’t contain themselves. “We make a stealthy camera bag, too,” they cried, “You MUST test it!” So I did. In reality, the Lowepro folks weren’t nearly as pushy, but they did send over the Classified 160AW, a nylon and leather day-bag for photographers which is purposely styled to be less flashy than a normal camera bag. Is it the kind of bag which would let you pass unnoticed through the mean streets of Barcelona’s pickpocket-laden tourist center? No. Is it a comfortable, capacious and capable bag for the photographer on the go? Let’s see. First, the looks. (Read the full post about ‘Hands On With Lowepro’s ‘Stealth’ Camera Bag’…)
BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Attel) Review -
PC Mag reviews the BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Attel) and writes, “RIM’s forthcoming BlackBerry OS 4.5 will include support for Microsoft Office document editing through DataViz’s DocumentsToGo program, and Alltel will offer a free upgrade to Curve owners. That combined with the standard Curve features, such as the great camera, including video recording; the terrific BlackBerry messaging, including both SMS and MMS; and the new PC software, which helps transfer music and videos over from Windows XP and Vista PCs to the phone, makes Alltel’s Curve 8330 as much a winner as its Verizon and Sprint cousins.

Digital Recipe Reader Copies iPhone UI, Scams Grandma
The Demy Digital Recipe Reader from Neiman Marcus is not modeled on the iPhone at all. The minimalist design, the large touch-screen, and the cube-shaped glossy menu icons really do not remind us of the ubiquitous media player. Alright, so we are kidding. But who are they kidding? Unsuspecting moms everywhere, it seems, as Neiman Marcus is taking the opportunity of the holiday season to sell these at the premium price of $300. I actually overheard an older couple in a city store talking about this as a gift possibility for their daughter a few weeks ago. The problem is that it is $100 more than the cheapest iPhone (8GB), which could easily serve as the main kitchen helper and access thousands of recipes online.

Carbon Fiber Wallet Lightens Your Load
The 3K Carbon Fiber & Leather Wallet is much like a regular wallet with the addition of two carbon fiber panels on the outside, and it does seem rather pointless as anything other than a style statement.
We’d prefer a Kevlar-coated version which could work like the heart-protecting cigarette case of old, stopping a well aimed bullet in our all-too-frequent gentlemen’s duels at Gadget Lab (sample arguments: Who has the best hair? [Danny], who has the most boyish good looks? [Chen] and who has the same name as the plush, dungaree wearing rabbit toy of my childhood? [Dylan]).
Still, the point of carbon fiber is to be lightweight, and in this the wallet excels: after you have spent $50 to buy it, you’ll have $50 less to put in it.

LG Incite From AT&T
AT&T has yet another LG handset for the masses, and this time round, the Incite will hold the distinction of being the first full-fledged LG smartphone in the US. Take a gander at the specifications below and figure out whether $199.99 with a 2-year contract is well worth it. (Read the full post about ‘LG Incite From AT&T’…)
The Discovery Voice-Activated Biometric Safe
Do you or your kids have some valuables that need stashed away and kept safe? Well Discovery has a safe that can only be opened by the sound of your voice. Which would be handy for hiding things away from either your spouse or your siblings. Hopefully though this safe offers better voice recognition than the diaries that get released every so often that claim the same things. To crack those diaries all you have to do is hear the person say whatever it is to open it. Then match the ups and downs in their voice and you’re in.

Humanoid Robot To Be Ready For Prime Time In 2010
Aldebaran Robotics’ Nao robot has been a hit among robot enthusiasts who participate in the Robocup challenge, the annual humanoid robots soccer game. Nao developed by the French company replaced Sony’s Aibo dog as the standard platform for the competition last year and that has helped boost its popularity among a select crowd of enthusiasts. But the robot still has a way to go before most general users can get near it. The fully programmable robot is packed with features. With its humanoid appearance can be made to do any number of tasks and comes with x86 AMD Geocode 500 Mhz CPU, 1 GB flash memory, 256 MB SDRAM, two speakers, vision processing capabilities, Wi-fi connectivity and Ethernet port.
