Bullet Proof iPod

Have you ever walked down the street and had your iPod shot at? I guess the inventor of this case has because he has made a bullet proof iPod case. Ok… well thats not true. He didnt make it this way because of having been shot at. He made it because he loves his iPod (dont we all!) and was fed up of it being crushed in the Japanese subway. Regular cases didnt do the trick, so he made the rather tasty Bullet Proof iPod case.

As can be seen above, it is a huge heavy case which is 5mm thick, made of aliminium and can stop a .22 bullet.

Bell + Howell 10 Megapixel Camera

Bell + Howell have created a 10 megapixel digital camera which is to be launched soon at $219. It has some cut down features and is classed as a camera for extremely casual beginners in the digital camera scene. It measures just 0.875″ in thickness, has 8x digital zoom, 16Mb built in memory and a much needed SD card slot. Also it can make videos and has a 1.5″ colour LCD screen. It doesnt look too great in my opinion and for being 10 megapixel I would have expected more built in memory as well as a better screen as well as optical zoom 🙂 Not much more I want other then that.

Sony Vaio Type U

I have had my eye on the the Sony Vaio Type U. According to Sony, is to switch from a 20/30Gb model to use a 16Gb flash memory. This is great news in some ways because it gives the device an increase to 4 hours. Other specs of the device have not changes from the 1.06Ghz/1.2Ghz depending on the model as well as the 1.3 Megapixel motion-eye camera. It goes on sale on the 13th July for $1798.

Nintendo DS MegaDrive Case Mod

Up until today I have never heard of someone modding a DS. Maybe I am just slow and not with the times any more. At any rate, someone has modded a Nintendo DS case to look like the good old Japanese Megadrive (the one with the red instead of gray) on the top of it. It also features the cool 16-Bit on the top too 🙂 Great fun!

Philips SLA 5520 Streamium Adapter

Philips have introduced the SLA 5520 Steamium adapter. The device streams audio and visual data. Streamium has been expensive in the past, but now with the introduction of the SLA 5520, this is now changing and this device will sell at $99. The only down side is the 2 tone screen rather then a colour screen.

So what is all this Streamium stuff about? Basically, you can broadcast from your PC, music and video all over your house. Not too complicated 🙂

Logitech V450

The Logitec V450 mouse is the latest in the vast parade of mice from them. It’s a mouse 🙂 Hmmm… what else can be said. Not much really except it is smaller and maybe aimed towards the laptop users, and the battery life is supposed to be a lot better. It also uses the 2.4Ghz frequency which apparantly does not have any interfearance with other items.
