I don’t know about you but I don’t need a fancy digital wrench to tell me when bolts are tight. But if you do, then maybe it’s time you go digital with this wrench. This wrench will give you a mathematically precise torque reading.

Just be careful as the wrench “uses the distance from the leverage point to the bolt head to calculate torque, so moving your hand closer to the bolt head will throw off its reading.” How reliable. It can be yours for just $323. Digital is definitely the way to go.

Zeemote has announced a version of their Bluetooth gaming controller for BlackBerry smartphones. The Zeemote JS1 is compatible with all BlackBerrys that have a trackball, and connects wirelessly for over fifty hours of battery-powered gameplay.

You get four action buttons and a thumbstick and it isn’t just for games. It can also be used to navigate the BlackBerry’s menus. That should help you BB users get your game on. It runs on two AAA batteries. The Zeemote JS1 for BlackBerry will be available this summer, in a bundle that includes a free Gameloft title.

One of the things that always appealed to many users of point-and-shoot cameras is that you could get them with giant zoom ranges and the ability to record video as well. Some DSLRs will record video now as well, but a point-and-shoot is cheaper and easier to use for most users.

Panasonic has announced its latest super zoom camera called the FZ35 boasting an 18x zoom lens and the ability to record HD video. The camera has a dedicated record button and the zoom lens is fully functional while recording.

I have been waiting for a point-and-shoot camera to come along that has a shutter speed fast enough for me to leave my DSLR at home in most instances. The problem I have with most point-and-shoots is that they can’t take pictures of fast action.

Panasonic has announced a new point-and-shoot called the DMC-ZR1 that puts the world’s first 0.3mm thick aspherical lens into a compact body. The thin lens means that the camera can be compact and have a 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens with 8x optical zoom.

The ideal phone would never have to be plugged in or at least would need to be plugged in only rarely. The reality today is that high-end devices like the iPhone burn lots of battery power and require almost daily charging to remain usable.

A company called MotionTouch has announced a new charger for the iPhone that is eco-friendly and charges by light. The device has a solar cell on the back of the sleeve that can gather power from some ambient lighting and from the sun.

The fates of the computer and GPU market are closely tied together. Poor computer sales means the GPU market is doing poorly. At the same time robust GPU sales means that computers are selling well also. That means that the GPU market can be a great indicator of how the PC market is doing.

Research firm Jon Peddie Research has released its GPU shipment results for Q2 2009. The research firm notes that while the market is still in a recession, Q2 showed signs of improvement. Q1 to Q2 sales traditionally decline according to JPR with summer vacations and consumers getting ready for the fall.

Averatec’s N3400 is a 13.3″ notebook that weighs in at 3.8lbs, which is pretty light for this category of notebook. The outer shell seems to be made of aluminum, but the rest looks like typical materials. It’s available now for $799. Here are some of the specs:

Intel T3400 2.16Ghz (a CULV would have been cooler), 13.3″ 1280×1024 with 1.3MP webcam, 3GB DDR 2m 800Mhz (8GB max), 250GB hdd, DVD drive, 3x USB, 3.5mm audio in/out, VGA, Multi-format card reader and WiFi-N, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet.

This USB drive concept is a throwback to the days of mustache twirling villains and bombs with crazy long fuses that usually blew up in your hands. It’s from designer Joel Escalona who probably likes to tie helpless women to railroad tracks while laughing maniacally.

Someone manufacture this thing already, so Joel doesn’t end up wearing black and white stripes and working on the chain gang. Sure it looks deadly(In a comical way) in black, but in red,yellow and white it just looks silly. Still, Joel thinks it’s “da bomb”, so what do ya say?

Epson has a new printer in their Stylus Photo line. The PX650 all-in-one. This printer is aimed at digital photographers and creative types and doesn’t even require a PC to use. It sports a convenient 2.5-inch LCD screen, making it easy to edit crop etc right on the printer.

Remember in the old black and white comedies and cartoons, when the guy would pull out his wallet to show off pictures of his family and it would drop accordion style to the floor because he had so many? Well I guess those days are officially over with this new pocket-size digital Photo Album from Hama.

Now you can carry all of your digital memories with you in your pocket. This compact device sports a 7-inch display with 800 x 480 resolution (JPG), three large navigation buttons, 4GB of storage, a memory card reader (SD/SDHC/MMS), a USB port and a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 2.5 hours in use time.

Designed by Jacob Jensen, this weather station series has a great modern look. It consists of well-designed modular products that help you keep an eye on all things weather. The set consists of the following components: an indoor thermometer, outdoor thermometer, barometer, hygrometer, alarm clock, temperature station, table stand and wall mounting plate.

Each section has to be purchased separately of course. You’ll always know what the weather has in store for you and your desk will even look nicer. The Jacob Jensen weather station can be mounted on the wall or sit on the table.

What’s the big deal about this camera? It’s the only surveillance camera system in the world designed to send back captured footage over GSM cellular networks. So no matter where you are this baby will be able to send back photos to you so you can view them online.

Another interesting feature is that it has no wires and is cable free. Of course they had to make it somewhat rugged too. It’s virtually weatherproof. Even the look says rugged and ready to go.

LG has released the LG-LV7500 2G clamshell phone in the Korean market. This one is also known as the ‘Whistle’ phone. It features 115 LED lights on the front panel so that users can create their own emoticon designs. It must be aimed at tweens.

The ‘Whistle’ comes in your choice of four colors and sports a car diary function and automatic international roaming service in 18 countries. This one will cost you $322 and is only for the Korean market currently.

The Withings scale has a sleek and stylish look along with WiFi functionality. The latter will beam your weight and body fat measurements to a web dashboard that can be accessed using a free iPhone app. This way you can track your measurements to help motivate yourself.

It even has “ideal” values that you can try to live up to. Somehow, we think that if you are not motivated enough get fit without this thing, than this isn’t going to do much except get you down. And at $183, it’s hard to get motivated to even buy this.
