I remember summers back when I was in school. It was great for a few weeks and then I was bored out of my mind. I ended up watching lots of movies and playing video games until my parents cut me off for spending too much.

Blockbuster has announced a new summer escape pass that is good for a full week and allows customers to rent all the video games and movies they want for only $10. The catch is that you can only have one movie or video game out at once.

The Archos 9 PC Tablet isn’t the only touchscreen product to arrive from Archos today; there’s a much smaller finger-friendly screen on the Archos 3 PMP. A 3-inch touchscreen to be precise along with 8GB of flash memory for up to 4,000 songs. Nice.

It also features Archos’ new UI, a “virtual wheel” selector which supposedly makes navigating straightforward and easy. It’s unclear whether the wheel is an on-screen thing, a translucent overlay, or involves a touch-sensitive button on the lower front panel.

Aibelive has introduced the AITALK voice controller for the iPod. The device supports multi-language and allows users to activate or change music tracks using their own voice.

The AITALK makes it easier for iPod users to listen to the music in certain situations, like while driving, doing exercises or when their hands are otherwise engaged with other activities. No info yet on pricing or availability.

Zero Motorcycles has just introduced its latest zero-emissions bike. The Zero MX packs an electric motor into a lightweight motorcross bike frame and even manages to throw in some quality components. Having been tweaked for performance, Zero claims that the MX will keep up with its gas-powered counterparts.

The MX will supposedly allow riders to jump higher and land softer, with a beefed up front-end and a “custom rear shock that gives riders a fully adjustable spring preload and easily tuned damping.”

Barbie has everything. A dream house, Milabu dream car, and all kinds of other stuff I can’t name because I’m a guy. Well, now she has her own Barbie Foosball table. It’s like a bunch of 11″ ditzy bubble-headed dames suddenly got skewered through their armpits and are forced to play sports for your amusement.

That’s pretty much the whole story. It’s from french designer Chloe Ruchon who wants to make some sort of artsy-fartsy statement. We just see it as very pink and very full of airheads. It’s likely also full of several young girl’s hopes and dreams…

The Nintendo DS Classroom will feature around 60 applications which will cover kanji, math, civics, physics and history. These will be available to students in junior high and high school in 2010. The idea is that the students will be able to do their homework, take tests, and even get real-time feedback from the teachers.

The system will be shown off in Osaka at the New Education Expo 2009 this month. This is one DS that you won’t get in trouble with at school, but it’s one that you will not be thrilled to use.

This transforming Voltron is awesome. A) It’s Voltron. B)It transforms into a working camera. and C) See A and B. This transforming Voltron action figure actually shoots 110 film. Apparently it was sold in the 1980s by Impulse Ltd.

Not that that helps us get one in the here and now. Few things in life are this awesome. Now, we are on a mission to find one. This is way cooler then that time my Qosmio notebook turned into a Transformer.

This casemod combines the shell of an old SNES console with the brains and guts of a modern PC. Anytime we see a CD sticking out of an SNES cartridge, we can’t help but smile. Modders quangDX and DuPPs took an old Super Nintendo and merged it with an Acer Aspire One A150 laptop. They call their new creation the aaSNES1.

And yes, they managed to mount a slot-loading DVDRW drive inside of the Super Mario World cartridge! But it wasn’t that simple. They didn’t have enough room inside the UK model SNES cartridge, but managed to cut things apart enough to get the drive to work. The eject button even ejects the DVD.

I can always use more battery life from my iPhone. The thing is great but if you spend any length of time, playing games, or surfing the net the battery gets sucked down very swiftly. Today I am looking at a product called the iON Universal Mobile Power Bank that promises up to 50 additional hours of power for iPods and works with the iPhone as well. Read on for all the details.

Samsung has announced it’s first solar powered GSM cellphone, the Crest E1107. It’s for eco-friendly, budget conscious types who want to harness the power of the sun. Supposedly, the Crest can generate enough power for 5-10 minutes of talk time with one hour of sun exposure.

I don’t know about you, but I associate the name Crest with toothpaste, so I’m a tad disappointed that this thing can’t power your spin-brush too. It has some basic additional features like an FM radio, MP3 ringers, fake call feature to avoid unwanted calls. Even a flashlight. Yet nothing to brush your teeth.

Archos has announced the Archos9, a UMPC that runs Windows 7. Its predecessors may be basic touchscreen internet media tablets, but the Archos9 can run a full OS. Some other features include a built-in webcam, 120GB of memory, full touch support, an external mic, streo speakers, and an optical trackpad as well as an on-screen keyboard.

The tablet will be available in Europe this October, just in time for Windows 7′s release. It will cost you €450 ($635).

iRiver’s P35 PMP has been upgraded, introducing a 32GB version. The touchscreen PMP is currently available in Korea and will arrive in the US this fall, has a 4.3-inch WQVGA display and a microSD slot for up to 16GB cards.

The Korean version also has an optional DMB digital TV tuner, a feature is not likely to be in the US model, but no one Seems sure. More likely is that iriver will use the mid-range WiFi-enabled version of the P35, which includes an internet browser and the company’s “Magazine” UI.

This looks a little different than that Bigfoot we saw a while ago, but you can definitely see the resemblance. It just looks…wilder. According to Boy Genius Report, this is Samsung’s Android-powered Bigfoot for T-Mobile, which will be hitting the high end of the carrier’s smartphone line.

It features a 3-inch capacitive AMOLED display, full QWERTY, 3 megapixel camera, and HSDPA. It is supposed to launch very soon, so you may want to hold off on that G1 for now.

Smartfish has introduced its Tru:Motion Wireless Mouse and Pro:Motion Game Controller that offers up a new way to game on your computer. The Tru:Motion Wireless Mouse was designed in partnership with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York and features a pivot-motion that is ergonomic and comfortable, because the user’s wrist remains in a fixed state. Ambidextrous folks and lefties will love it and it will come with optical tracking, scroll wheel, and an aluminum finish.

The SmartFish Pro:Motion Game Controller, this is said to be the first intelligent and healthy “injury avoidance” ergonomic controller that totally does away with the risk of RSI and carpel tunnel syndrome(Yeah sure).
