Microsoft’s latest Sidewinder mouse is geared toward the entry-level gaming crowd, retailing for just $40. It looks plain and fairly boring. For your money, you get some performance though. It features a 2,000 DPI laser sensor that can be changed to 800 DPI or 400 DPI whenever the need arises.

You also get eight more buttons crammed into the ambidextrous layout. This USB-powered gaming mouse will be bundled with the Intellimouse software for Windows PCs for quick and easy macro programming. You’ll be able to get one when the Microsoft Sidewinder X3 hits retail shelves this May.

Tokyo-based designer Mac Funamizu is at it again. This time he has come up with a concept design for a phone that Wonder Woman would love to have in her invisible jet. The Glassy Glassy cell phone concept.

The entire phone is transparent until you turn it on. That’s when the screen and keypad light up so you can press the buttons accordingly. It’s sure to get lost easier and blend into its surroundings. Where the battery is, I have no idea. Hopefully, its stronger than glass.

Looks like the rumors were pretty close. After months of silence, Nintendo has announced a date for US availability of its MotionPlus Wiimote accessory.

We figured it would be here by now, but maybe they just needed some time to perfect it. On June 8th Nintendo will ship the MotionPlus add-on to the US. The device will cost you $19.99, or after until July 26th you can pick up the Wii Sports Resort for $49.99, which comes bundled with the accessory.

Any parent knows the type of toys LeapFrog makes. The company has a line of educational toys that teach kids of all sorts of things like phonics and math. My kids have a set of refrigerator magnets they play with constantly from the company that teaches phonics. If I hear “every letter makes a sound” one more time I may snap.

LeapFrog is now moving from the refrigerator onto my iPhone with the introduction of the company’s first iPhone App called Number Rumble. The game is a math quiz program that helps kids six to ten years old learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

All of the locations around the country were closed and inventory was liquidated over the beginning of 2009. Today Circuit City is no more, but s few of its assets are still under court control.

Consumer electronics retailer Systemax has announced that it has filed a “stalking horse” agreement with the bankruptcy courts handling Circuit City to possibly purchase the e-commerce business assets Circuit City owns.

Google Voice is a beta service from Google that allows mobile users to get one phone number for all of their phones. That means you can have one number that works for your home phone, business phone, and your mobile.

One of the things that most music fans notice right away about their new iPod or other MP3 player is that the headphones included with the players leave a lot to be desired. Typically, the most lacking aspect on most earphones or headsets is bass. Thankfully, there are many sets of earphones around that can upgrade the sound quality from your MP3 player.

Logitech has announced a new set of Ultimate Ears 700 noise-isolating earphones. The earphones offer music fans the same audio quality that is enjoyed by 75% of touring musicians says Logitech. The 700 series earphones are each smaller than a dime for comfort.

If you’re looking for a new media PC, the latest from AOpen is worth a look. Announced on Friday, the new AOpen PC is the XC Encore OE700 and this system all about everything media. It will keep things quiet with the Smart Anti-Vibration System and features a vacuum fluorescent display and support for 7.1 audio.

MSI has decided they needed to offer more options. That’s why they will be launching the Wind U123, U123H, and U123T that feature a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, a 10 inch LCD screen (1024 x 600 pixel), 1GB of RAM, up to 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a webcam, an optional 3 cell or 6 cell battery, and Microsoft Windows XP Home OS.

JVC Japan has unveiled the GD-463D10 a 46 inch HD LCD TV which can…wait for it… display images in 3D. The LCD features a contrast ratio of 2000:1 with a maximum of 10000:1 in dynamic mode and is super thin at just 39mm.

The panel was developed using the Xpol polar screen system and much to our sadness requires special 3D glasses to watch the image in its full 3D glory. The 3D will look excellent, you’ll just look like a dork. The onboard speakers deliver an output of 10W×2ch and the unit comes with two 3D glasses. Though I am sure they are willing to sell you more.

I can’t think of a stranger phone buddy than one shaped like an egg who will shake his legs whenever you get a call. I think it might be fun to rest him on the edge of your table. That way, when he starts getting all freaky and shaking his legs, that egg is going all Humpty Dumpty.

Other then that, this little guy is pretty useless. Good thing he’s only $6. What the hell, he displays the time too. If you need a special friend to get egg-cited about your phone calls, look no further.

An acoustics engineer named John Stuart Reid from the UK, is creating a machine that does the unthinkable. He claims it will enable people to “read” the “dolphin language.” The device is called the Cymascope, and it converts the sounds dolphins make when communicating into images, which can then be mapped into a sort of dictionary, then later “read” by people trying to understand what that dolphin is going on about.

I’m guessing half of the chatter is LOL and OMG or how they totally owned that human. The Cymascope uses a pool of water monitored by a video camera, along with some sand, brass plates and a violin bow. It sounds pretty wacky.

This week Apple quietly announced plans to start selling aluminum 20-inch iMacs to qualified educational institutions for just $899. That means that qualified schools can pre-order an $899 20-inch iMac equipped with a 2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of memory, 160 GB hard drive, 8x SuperDrive, and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphic card.

The new configuration is replacing the $899 Apple 17-inch iMac sold to those same institutions since 2006. It allows institutions hit hard by tax revenue declines to continue to factor Macs into their refined budgets.
