If you’re a fan of God Of War, you won’t have to consult the God of Decorating to find something swell for your mantle. The blade is cast from zinc aluminum and sits on a handsome wooden stand so you can display your geekiness proudly.

Just FYI though, this is why you don’t get many friends over. It’s also why those few friends who come over are male. I’m just saying. But if you have to have it, this fake blade will cost you $124.

Sony has done well with the S-Series Sony Walkman. That’s no surprise with it’s super-thin form, music and video capabilities, long lasting battery, FM tuner, etc. Well, the folks at Sony Insider caught wind of this picture from one of their sources and the theory is that this is the successor to the S series.

It looks great in red, blue, pink and black. Interestingly it appears to have speakers on the front. Awesome for those who like to use their music players without headphones. The design is pretty eye catching and it looks larger.

Sony’s new NV-U3DV navigation system should turn a few heads with its large 6.1-inch screen. But that’s not the only thing it has going for it. It sports a 480×272 resolution which will give you bigger buttons and more map space, along with some other unique features like Position+ G, which uses an accelerometer, gyro-sensor, and pressure sensors which help it figure out the direction of the vehicle.

Aside from those features, it has all the usual stuff, even mobile TV in Japan, live traffic information, and various guides from PetaMap. No word on a release in the states just yet, but those in Japan can pick one up in August for around $700.

Vivitek has announced its all new 1080p model projector that should hit US retail this August for $999. The company’s H1080FD will be based on Texas Instruments’ S450 chip / light-engine design with Dark Chip II technology.

Some other specs include 1,800 lumens of brightness, a 5,000:1 contrast ratio, two HDMI ports, composite / S-Video / component inputs, RS-232c control connector and a 12v trigger. Lamp life is rated at 3,000 hours and Vivitek has designed the cabinet for easy bulb access, if you need to replace burned out lamps.

Fujifilm is offering up its latest digital camera, the FinePix J30. This one will be available in pink, silver and black and sports 12-megapixels. Some other features include: Panoramic Shooting Mode, 3x optical zoom, 2.7″ LCD screen, Face Detection technology with Auto red-eye removal, Picture Stabilisation mode, Maximum ISO sensitivity to 3200 (at 3MP), Movie Mode with sound and zoom function.

You’ll also get Scene Recognition AUTO, Portrait, Backlit Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, Night and Macro, Lithium-ion rechargeable battery and a charger. The FinePix J30 will be available next month for an unknown price.

When you think about Panasonic’s line of Viera TVs, what comes to mind? Probably a large HDTV hanging on a wall right? Me too, but the latest Vieras from Panasonic come in a tiny form factor. I’m talking a screen size of just 4.3″.

That’s because these are portable 1Seg TVs that let you record video on both SD and SDHC memory cards. If that isn’t enough for you, it can double as a digital photo frame by displaying images stored on your SD/SDHC memory cards. Not bad for a little tiny Viera huh?

RealView Innovations is adding some much needed depth to PSP games this holiday season, with the V-Screen. The device “enhances the perceived depth of the 2D screen image.” So, we are guessing that it’s sort of like a pair of fancy 3d glasses that you set over your PSP instead wearing them.

Just realize that your PSP will no longer be so portable. It looks like this won’t require you to get right up to the PSP, so you shouldn’t look like Spock on the Enterprise bridge. Apparently it works with many games as well.

Forget DVDs, forget Blu-Ray. Disney and Panasonic see the future and that future is movies on flash cards. That’s right, those same tiny memory cards that you buy for your digital camera/MP3 player will soon be available with films pre-loaded on.

Disney and Panasonic are starting things off by packaging pre-recorded microSD cards together with DVDs holding the same movie content. That way users can easily watch their favorite DVDs on portable players.

Gamers often spend big money on their gaming PCs. Most of that money goes into processors, RAM, and video cards. However, many gamers will spend some money on a slick chassis to put all that hardware into as well.

One of the most affordable makers of cool gaming cases for computers is NZXT and the company has announced a new mid tower chassis called the M59. The case ships with two 120mm fans in the side and rear of the case and it supports five total fans.

Lawmakers are looking into possible antitrust violations centering on exclusive deals that most of the major cellular makers offer with handset to get customers. The exclusive deals allegedly make it hard for small providers to compete.

For now, exclusives are still the norm and Samsung and T-Mobile have announced a couple new exclusive handsets called the Samsung Comeback and the Samsung Gravity 2. We have talked about the Comeback already, so I won’t focus on that handset other than to say T-Mobile will offer it for $129.99 with a new agreement and it is available now.

As NAND flash makers reduce the size of the build process they use a lot of good things happen. The products using the flash storage derived from the NAND products consumer less power, produce less heat, and can be mode for less money.

Intel has announced the industry’s first 34nm SSDs this week that reduce the price of the SSDs by up to 60% compared to the previous 50nm Intel SSDs. The new MLC X25-M SSD is intended for the laptop and desktop market and is available in 80GB and 160GB capacities.

It seems more than a bit odd to me that many, myself included, consider Yahoo to be down and out despite the fact that it sits comfortably in the second place spot for search. Google may be far above the competition in the search market, but Yahoo is still doing well.

Yahoo has announced what it calls the most significant redesign since the search engine launched nearly a decade ago. The new home page offers users a less cluttered look with less Yahoo services grafted on to muddy the waters.

This is the New X120 Mini from LG. It’s a pretty average Netbook powered by your run of the mill Atom CPU, with 1GB of RAM, 160GB of HDD and a 10.1” WSVGA LED Backlight LCD. Nothing unusual there.

Oh…It’s all in the jeans. The new X120 is a Levi’s Jeans branded Notebook with a Jeans design and even a dedicated Levi’s pouch. They sure took the Jeans theme and ran with it. But the question is, how will they market this? Throwing in some free Levi’s would be sweet.

When it comes to soda, we need choices, not just regular and diet. We need mega-choice. It’s 2009, not the stoneage. That’s why Coke is showing off its new “Freestyle” soda fountain. This baby uses a touchscreen to allow you to choose one of over 100 flavors.

That’s right, over 100 flavor options. Not a one of them any healthier than what we have today. But the future is all about choice not health. Check out the video above to see how it all works. Turns out the future is just full of soda flavors. And that’s the way we like it.

SimpleTech wants to please tree-huggers everywhere while stealing Panda food for their latest, the [re]Drive, a 500GB external hard drive that’s ensconced in recyclable aluminum, and “renewable, naturally grown bamboo.” Poor pandas. What will they eat if we keep using their food in tech?

Interestingly the aluminum and bamboo enclosure acts like a heat sink, so much so that there’s no need for an internal fan, which saves power. But somewhere, a panda cries out in hunger.
