The Calvary APP06 is the latest pocket multimedia player to hit the market. It seems like it will hit the market and unfortunatly bounce off though :S. It can play MPEG4, JPEG, MP3 and WMA. It has a 2.5″ TFT screen, FM tuner and some speakers that flip out. On the good side, it costs $119.

This is another funky gadget I have come across today. It’s a mini projector designed to work with your mobile phone. The device just plugs in and then it’s ready to go and project a video (not sure how big) on to a surface.

The DIR-636 RangeBooster from D-Link is a draft 802.11n compliant device. It supposidly runs 5x faster then the 802.11g wireless connections but yet is still compatible backwards.
It can in some cases provide a faster then 100Mbps signal. With the device you can create a secure wireless network in your home which makes file sharing across your computers a lot safer. It is also compatible with VOIP protocols so that calls can run smoothly.

This is another device I would look to buy. It is a SlimEx Onyx 40GB USB HDD. It weighs less then 3 oz and measures just 3.9″ x 2.4″ x 0.4″ which is small enough to comfortbly carry around in your pocket. It is a USB 2.0 device which gives it a nice fast transfer rate. It does not require drivers as it’s a plug and play device and has a nice magnesium alloy casing making it tough against a few knocks here and there (although I do not recommend that :))
