I have a very strong feeling that the Sidekick Aspen/Gekko will be the same handset, but am not quite sure just which name will T-Mobile bank on (no pun intended) in order to rake in the dough as customers sign up. Gekko might be the better choice, considering its catchy sound and flirting with the ability of the device to change colors. This will probably be the follow up to the Sidekick iD which was released quite a fair bit back, and will feature a similar display and features to that of the LX. No iea on how much it will cost, but it will be cheaper compared to the Sidekick LX. (Read the full post about ‘Sidekick Aspen/Gekko Screenshot’…)
Could the release of the Tamagotchi Familitchi bring about yet another craze which we saw so many years ago? So say konichiwa to Tamagotchi Familitchi, an all new wave of the world’s favorite handheld virtual pets. In a nutshell (or should that be eggshell?) owners hatch and then raise their pet by pressing buttons throughout the day. The more your Tamagotchi matures the more games you can play and the more areas of Tamagotchi Town you can visit on the web. You can even travel to foreign destinations, visit your Tamagotchi parents and meet the Tamagotchi King! What makes this version different from the ones of old is the ability to acces new passwords in Tamagotchi Town, earning precious Gotchi points which can then be redeemed for virtual items such as food, travel tickets, toys and clothes among others.

Stanford grad student Alan Rorie shows off his hand-built, steam-powered time machine. SAN MATEO, California — In-between conducting lab experiments as a Ph.D candidate for a degree in neurobiology at Stanford, Alan Rorie builds time machines. Of course, Rorie’s machines don’t actually bend the laws of physics, but he credits his creations with helping to pass the time and "keeping [him] sane." His steampunky time machine, or "dihemispheric chronaether agitator," as he calls it, was handcrafted over the last few months, in his down time between research.

Nike has a brand new vest that aims to keep Olympians cool, thanks to the Nike PreCool Vest. This piece of clothing aims to lower the body’s core temperature, enabling muscles to perform more efficiently when the body is not dedicating resources to cool down. It is meant to be used up to an hour before a competition, claiming to let the athlete last up to 21% longer on the firled. The inner layer is filled with frozen water while the outer layer is coated with aluminum, making it essentially a thermos. Looks like an advert for a Nokia Prism ad if you ask me.

As a Cinco de Mayo present for Geeks everywhere, the Geeks from Gizmos for Geeks has re-released Bargains for Geeks simply because we love to get our hands on various gadgets and gizmos, but if we have to pay full price we can’t buy nearly as many as we really want!

SAN MATEO, California — Beat boxing is cool, but it’s definitively atechnological. Well, that is unless you use a type of gadget called an electronic wind instrument to record and loop your mouth’s contortions through a Lenovo laptop running Guitar Rig.
And that’s exactly what we saw Onyx Ashanti doing just off a pedestrian thoroughfare here at the Maker Faire.

Anyone who has bought a Creative MP3 player that uses a hard disk over the past seven years is entitled to a discount on a replacement product. That is the outcome of a lawsuit settlement Creative has agreed to, which affects all qualifying products sold to customers in the U.S.
The lawsuit was brought about because it was deemed that the storage capacity quoted on Creative’s hard drive products was misleading. That is because, like a lot of other hardware manufacturers, they use base 10 notation rather than base 2 notation to calculate the size.
