Color Change USB Hurricane Lamp

I’m all about gadgets that are made to look old but still have that new technology we all know and love. Yet the USB gadgets made to look like older ones just seem a bit like cheap impostors. However, if you don’t want to pay the price for an expensive antique that runs just like the old ones always have, these would work out great. Especially since they’re plenty affordable.

These hurricane lamps are made out of plastic and stand 4” tall. The light within the lamp can change colors, it flips between a total of 7 different colors. The light uses LED bulbs, so it won’t require too much power to keep it going. It of course just requires you to plug it into your USB port to keep it up and running.

Nokia 6750 offered by Rogers Wireless

Rogers Wireless has just announced that they will be making available the Nokia 6750 to the masses, targeting those who are on the lookout for a sleek and stylish cellphone which is loaded with fun features, allowing one to remain connected to family and friends through the recent (and still ongoing) craze known as social networking regardless of where you are. Drawing inspiration from the human body, the Nokia 6750 comes across as a chrome flip cellphone complete with an ergonomic design which will conform nicely to your hand, allowing you to chat all the more without suffering from unwanted or unnecessary cramps. Fashionistas will be able to communicate in comfort and at length, and will be more than proud to show off the phone thanks to the hidden display cover illuminations. Lighting up in blue, orange, pink, green, purple and red for a unique touch, you also get a highly readable, large display with 16 million colors.

A large keyboard is there to make it a whole lot easier to type out those lengthy text messages as well as handle a flurry of tweeting on-the-go, while the inclusion of a 2.0 megapixel camera makes it a snap (no pun intended) to capture impromptu moments which you can then upload later on for others to view. With a web browser thrown into the mix, Canadians will be able to remain more connected than ever before, utilizing the powerful media sharing capability of Nokia’s free media sharing community known as Ovi Share.

Audiophiles who can’t live without music will also love the Nokia 6750 as it allows you to access to the urMusic service from Rogers Wireless, where external music keys make it a snap to have full control of your audio tracks wherever you are, while Bluetooth stereo adaptability lets you live out the wireless lifestyle with a pair of Bluetooh headphones. You can also tote around 32GB of audio thanks to a microSDHC memory card slot. Rogers Wireless is offering the Nokia 6750 for $99.99 on a 3 year contract.

2009 BMW M3 Convertible

Touch Screen Eee PC & Eee Keyboard PC

Again the Eee PC was mentioned in my top gadgets of 2008 and due to it’s success, 4 million sales to date, and Asus have some new devices planned for next year. One of the most innovative devices is the Eee Keyboard PC which will be featured at CES 09. The CEO of Asus, Jerry Shen, has also apparently announced a touch screen Eee PC laptop early 2009 capable of running Windows 7 (below) - but I’m not holding my breath. However something that is more promising is the Eee Top All-in-one touch screen desktop which should be available this year and I think this will make it big next year. Currently launched in white only with 1.6GHz Intel Atom, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, 15.6″ screen, Window XP, 1.3 megapixel camera, Wi-fi, built in speakers and enough ports to keep you more than happy - look out for this one, prices will be around £450.

Electric car motor is coming

On Thursday, Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla Motors’s chief designer, introduced a new car that hopefully could be considered as the new family mid-sized sedan in the coming future. He made the presentation on behalf of Tesla, which is a young company in the car industry.

“Welcome to Model S”, Holzhausen said while smiling widely. Then, with a theatrical flourish, he pulled the covers off a pair of prototypes of a sedan that only uses electricity. According to Tesla Motors, the car has a capacity for seven people and is able to travel 300 miles on a single charge.

Tesla hopes to begin the production of these flashy cars with five doors by the final quarter of 2011. The specific location where the production center will be placed was not revealed but it is known that it is situated in Southern California.

The company projects a production of 20,000 units per year with deliveries starting in 2012.

Well, Sony Ericsson has something for collectors of the exotic - the Jalou by Dolce&Gabbana limited edition clamshell handset that exudes style and substance from within and without. This Dolce & Gabbana branded style statement resembles a beautifully facet cut jewel form and measures but a mere 73mm in length, making it shorter than most women’s (and some men’s) favorite lipstick, allowing you to slip it into but the smallest of clutch or jacket pockets without resulting in an unsightly bulge.

Inside the phone, you will be able to find exclusive photography and video clips from Dolce&Gabbana’s women’s Autumn/Winter 2010 runway show, alongside sneak peek footage from all the backstage action - would be cool if this handset had a built-in projector though, as it allows you to go wild with the rest of your girlfriends who have an equal love for fashion and all things trendy just like you. Apart from that, you can also find a range of stylish themes and wallpapers, access to a Dolce & Gabbana blog which will shimmy over the latest trends, news and gossip straight to your handset through an RSS feed.

Corsair unveils 128GB Flash Voyager GT

Remember the good old days where USB flash drives came in capacities of Megabytes (MBs)? Well, those days are long gone and have been replaced by Gigabytes (GBs), and we’ve seen the number jump from 1GB to 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and even 64GB. It does make me wonder just how hard finding stuff on it will become in the long run with something so huge to sift through. Well, Corsair has clearly upped the ante yet another time by releasing their latest USB flash drive known as the 128GB Flash Voyager GT, making it the fastest high capacity 128GB USB flash drive in the world at the same time. This new Flash Voyager GT works differently since it is based upon a revolutionary design which relies on a unique dual-controller architecture in order to achieve SLC-levels of performance using MLC NAND flash memory. According to Corsair, the 128GB Flash Voyager GT can hit read speeds of up to 32MB/sec and write speeds of up to 25.6MB/sec, where the bottleneck has been pointed at the speed of the USB 2.0 bus and operating system overhead.

The 128GB Flash Voyager GT will come with a durable and water-resistant rubber housing that adds extra protection to the drive against accidental damage, while the racing-red ‘GT’ styling continues to be the trademark of Corsair’s ultra high-performance products.

If you’re interested in picking up the 128GB Flash Voyager GT, it is readily available from Corsair’s authorized distributors and resellers worldwide, and each purchase will actually come with a 10-year limited warranty for added peace of mind. Have you ever gave a thought and wonder just how large USB flash drives can get in 10 years’ time? We’re betting it will be in the Terabytes (TB), just in case you’re a gambling person.

Epson - Perfection V500 Photo

All-in-One printer/scanner/copier machines are all the rage at present, especially if you're trying to run a home office or small business on a fairly limited budget. However, the frustration for dedicated amateur and semi-pro photographers is that most multi-function machines manage to do several tasks reasonably well but none of them to a high enough degree of excellence.

For this reason, a dedicated photo scanner or printer will always appeal to the keen snapper who demands high quality reproductions. Epson has been aware of this for some time and its Perfection Photo series has concentrated on meeting this need for those who don't have huge amounts of money but have plenty of enthusiasm.

Sennheiser - PC 350

You can tell a lot from a box. The packaging these headphones come in is slick looking, sturdy and well designed (there's no moulded plastic to hack through and bust your scissors on here). And the PC 350 set itself is built along exactly the same lines.

In fact the build quality is first-rate, and these headphones are solid and yet still relatively lightweight and really comfortable to wear. With their spacious ear cups cushioned with over a centimetre of black foam, we're going to go out on a limb here and state that the PC 350s are the most comfortable pair of headphones we've ever worn. Which is handy when you're settling in for a long session of Unreal Tournament.
