You may know Tengu, the interactive USB powered device that reacts to sound, and uses LED lights to display animated faces. Well, they are back in the form of Tengu Allstars. The new range includes three different looks, with addition of some colorful afros.

The first one is named Rotten, an anarchist, punk rocker type. The second is Stardust, a glam rocker, while the third is Woodstock, who is a trippy hippie from the 1960s.

The Photo-Touch Phone from Oregon Scientific is pretty stylish and sleek, sporting a 7″ LCD display. It offers DECT 6.0 technology with a touch sensing keypad that you can store up to 200 photos using SD,XD,MMC,MS cards. The device has a “Picture in Picture” feature with caller ID, speaker phone with auto answer function, 10 melody ring tones, ability to store 50 phone numbers, 10 redial logs and 30 caller ID logs.

Sadly it looks like it will only be available in Hong King. At least for now. The price is HK$1,798.00 or $231.99. If anything can help save landlines, it may as well be this.

It’s official. Zune HD will be powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra processor, making it the first PMP in the world that can claim that honor. NVIDIA confirmed it themselves. The all-in-one processor offers hardware acceleration of video and can consume just 150mW of power at full speed, giving it a battery life like a regular media player in spite of the demands of 720p video playback.

The new Zune is likely using an APX 2500 or 2600 processor, which combines an ARM11 processor with a GeForce-based graphics core and controllers for memory and output. It has just enough performance to display 720p at full resolution when using HDMI and also supports 3D rendering performance much faster than most handheld devices.

Casio just unleashed four new projectors in Japan, all in a super slim design that should fit just about anywhere. They measure just 1.7″ in height. Features among all four include XGA (1,024 x 768) resolution and 1,800:1 contrast ratio.

Look for these to hit the Japanese market this July. The XJ-S68 projector will have a brightness of 3,500 ANSI lumens, with composite RGB and USB connections. The XJ-S63 has the same minus one USB port, but throws in a 1-watt speaker.

This Hellboy Xbox 360 case mod is awesome. And very very red. It was made by Frank Gonzales, who has previously created a Gears of War and other case mods. He really outdid himself with this one. It looks as if it has just clawed it’s way free from hell and is ready for some serious gaming.

My first reaction upon seeing this was to wonder where the horns were, but it is absolutely perfect as it is.

Some of you want something more in your HTPC keyboard than just a multitouch trackpad. Lucky for you, Cideko has your back. Their Air Keyboard has a built-in 3D mouse that will have you waving it around and hitting people in the head. But that;s not all.

It also features two gamepad-style buttons in place of standard mouse buttons. Other than that it has all of the usual media control buttons, and a range of 50 meters. The battery life is 50 hours.

Batteries? The Mobile Script Phone doesn’t need no stinkin’ batteries. It’s a concept device that features Internet browsing, working on-the-go, games and communications. All the stuff you already enjoy, just better. Plus no batteries.

The device has a few touchscreen displays, one in the standard format, the other is a flexible OLED display that can stiffen when a low voltage charge goes through it, to give you added viewing area.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had a problem using the Nintendo DS’ D-pad. Apparently some people do, since this gadget now exists. Most people who play the DS Lite won’t find the Cyber Coin Assist necessary. There may however be a few out there who need the extra thumb support.

For those people, putting the Cyber Coin Assist over the D-pad may just make their portable gaming more enjoyable. We don’t have any info on pricing, but it should be out later this July. I’m saying right now that if people are willing to pay more than $2, I’d be really surprised.

Jeff Bezos wants the Kindle to have some healthy competition. That’s why Amazon just released their source code for all the Kindle devices. It’s basic Linux underneath (kernel 2.6.22 on the latest 2.1 software), but includes E Ink drivers and other hardware support.

We don’t know whether Amazon stripped out its various DRM and licensed codec support, MP3 and Audible seem very likely candidates for explosion, even if turns out Amazon did leave in its own Kindle Book DRM. Hopefully manufacturers can take and repurpose this code to build their own Kindle clone.

Just in time for Father’s day, the VholdR ContourHD is now shipping. Dads everywhere will soon be doing stuff like jumping out of planes, all the while making a video from their point of view. The 720p wearable cam was first announced back in April.

It will cost you $299.99, but Amazon has them for $20 less and they are throwing in a $50 gift. Which oesn’t do you much good if you Jackass stunts land you in the hospital.

Garmin makes GPS devices for just about every possible need. You can get a Garmin GPS for your car, you can get Garmin GPS in your airplane, and you can get Garmin GPS for your motorcycle. You can even get Garmin GPS for your wrist.

Gaming has announced two new wrist wearable GPS units called the Foretrex 401 and Foretrex 301. Both of the devices have high-sensitivity; WAAS-enabled GPS receivers and a USB interface in a waterproof device designed for skiers, campers, and military personnel to wear.

Digital cameras are available to meet just about any need a user can have. There are small cameras that are easy to carry and there are larger DSLR cameras that take higher quality images. The problem with many DSLR cameras is that they are large and bulky devices.

Olympus has announced a new camera built on the micro four thirds lens system that has the smaller dimension of a point-and-shoot camera but promises to deliver the image quality and features of a DSLR. The camera is called the Olympus E-P1 and has a 12.3-megapixel resolution.

Video conferencing is becoming an increasingly important part of business communication in the poor economic climate around the world. In better years, companies would just fly employees to a conference to talk business, but now many use video instead.

Samsung has announced a new stand alone video conferencing LCD that is called the VC240. The device can also be used as a Pc display. The screen is 24-inches in size and it uses V2oIP for communications and is fully compatible with other VoIP systems.

I usually only have to travel once or so each year for work. Typically, it’s for CES in January and while it’s nice to be away from things for a while, my kids get restless. I usually end up doing some video calls with them from my computer so I can see what they are up to. The problem is that video calls over IM applications can be hard to set up.

Logitech has announced a new software platform today called Vid that makes it easy to initiate video calls to and from anyone using a Logitech webcam. The software itself is free and Logitech claims that you can set up the software and initiate calls easier than using an IM application.

The guys over at SKYlaser gave us the opportunity recently to check out there version of a 150mW green laser pointer with a unique adjustable power feature. We’ve reviewed a number of types of lasers and laser pointers here on the ‘Brick but this is the first we’ve gotten our hands on one that has this type of adjustable power.

The nice thing about getting a powerful laser of this caliber is just that; it’s powerful. This laser has enough oomph to put a green dot on something from pretty much as far away as you can see, and that’s during the day. At night it makes a seemingly unending saber-like beam of green laser light visible for miles.
