If you want something different in your home for your high-tec audio system then check out these floating speakers. Ok, maybe David Blaine was the designer as they actually do not float, but a small rod behind the speakers holds the top side in the air and it gives the appearance of floating.

The speakers work by firing the noise in to the circular base which then distributes the sound outwards. They only deliver 1.7 watts though. It makes you wonder if all this fancy kit actually produces decent sound or only wants to look good. At $200 you would certainly hope so. I still wouldnt mind testing these out from Audio-Technica though as they do look cool.

The Sony PSP was launched over 2 years ago and rumours are now circulating that a redesign could be due. The PS1 and PS2 have both been through dramatic redesigns slicing all the excess off the larger versions and making them a whole lot smaller. I do not think there is too much more that could be cut down on the Sony PSP as it boasts a seriously nice sized screen which would be a shame to make smaller, however, it could be made a tad thinner. I am sure the design team at Sony will do something good with the PSP. Some PSP users are requesting a second analogue stick.

Features I would like to see in the new version is a thinner form, same sized screen, memory based rather then UMB based, dual analog controllers, analogue buttons like the PS2 and PS3 control pad and maybe a rumble option 🙂 Of course features such as wifi should stay, with the possibility of Bluetooth and GPS. We can dream though, although it’s all technically feasable with the advancements in technology.

Mario for years has been one of Nintendo’s greatest titles. The latest Wii version which is to be named Super Paper Mario combines the use of traditional 2D graphics with a very interesting 3D twist. You have to see the video below to get the full effect of what I mean. I personally enjoy the 2D type games more then 3D because of their ease in playing them. Adding the 3rd perspective in to this game doesnt actually take away that much from the 2D game.

If you are a die hard StarTrek fan then read on. Even if you are not then feel free to read on too. If you have a spare 500000 pounds available then you can own a fully kitted out StarTrek appartment in the UK. This StarTrek house is kitted out just like Voyager and features a transporter room which you can safely say it doesnt actually work. This house took around 150k to get it to this condition.

Take a look at the pics at the link below and let us know what you think.

5.1 systems are becoming more of the norm around peoples home, and especially with the home cinema market producing larger HDTV screens at a lower cost. However, LG decided that 5.1 wasnt enough and decided to create a 10.1 system which to be honest, is not a full 10.1 system but is simulated. This happens with the Virtual Sound Matrix Technology inside the cool looking pyramid device. It is a full blown cinema system which has a slot loading DVD player, HDMI and USB.

BioVault is an ubreakable vault which is only capable of being opened by your fingerprint. This makes it an excellent way of keeping your personal belongins safe and secure. Made out of alumunium, it is both light and portable making it ideal when security is needed. For $400 the price is fairly reasonable. It does make me wonder how hard this actual vault is though and I wonder what it would take to break in to it. Still worth a look though if you need some added security while carrying items around.

It’s about time we get some good meety memory sticks from Sony. The latest and greatest is the MSX-M8GS which has 8Gb of memory on it. Thats a fair bit and a good amount to backup a few movies and games on to. Before you go and fork out 325 dollars for one of these, you need to make sure your device is compatible. If you run a Sony PSP then it needs to have at least firmware 2.81. I am not sure as of yet that anything lower might be made compatible through home brew, but with the announcement that V3.xwas cracked open earlier this month then it might be worth upgrading anyway.

Of course, 325 dollars is a tad over the top for most people wanting an 8Gb memory stick. No doubt prices will drop over the next 6 months, so keep in mind that if you really want one then consider just waiting a little longer. No doubt in 6 -12 months time the next step in storage will have happened though and 16Gb Memory stick DUO’s will be available.
