The online retailer is getting into the consumer electronics market with the AmazonBasics line, a line of low-cost accessories. No worries, the products all come in “frustration free” packaging. Those products include HDMI cables, Ethernet cords blank DVDs and more.

Jeff Bezos has committed to expanding the line “in the coming months” and the products will be eligible for free shipping if you order $25 or more. Americans can begin ordering today, but the international scene will have to wait a bit.

Griffin knows that if a child’s ears go bad today, that child won’t be listening to their headphones as an adult. So they’ve decided to protect their potential future buyers by announcing MyPhones, a set of over-the-ear headphones for kids.

MyPhones are designed for children age 3 to 12 and are smaller than normal headphones. They also include a built-in volume limiter that prevents the headphones from producing audio higher than 85 decibels, which is the recommended maximum volume to avoid hearing damage.

If you are looking to control your iPhone 3GS via voice control, but don’t want another wire getting in your way, you may be in luck starting next month. That’s when BudsGoBlue will be launching a set of Bluetooth earbuds for the iPhone that will act as headphones and a Bluetooth headset.

Apparently the “memory shaping” ear loops are completely flexible and shape to any ear. It includes voice command, so iPhone 3Gs users will be able to access track commands. They look pretty nice to boot.

If you’ve been waiting for some official word from Nintendo on the Wii price cut, here’s some good news. A Nintendo fan site who was listening in on a conference call claims that the company confirmed a $50 cut for Sept. 27.

Yes, it’s confusing and unconfirmed and not official at all. Nintendo hasn’t said a word to anyone aside from this alleged call. All should be revealed soon and we’ll let you know when we have more info.

We’ve been waiting for this one for some time now. An 802.11n adapter for our Xbox 360. It cleared the FCC and has now appeared on a flyer inside a Gears of War 2 Game of the Year edition box in Italy.

The guys at Joystiq think that this might indicate that both the original 802.11a/b/g and 802.11n adapter might co-existence in the same market, and who knows, maybe a price cut for the expensive original. All we can do is wait and see.

Being a Batman fan, I’ve been looking forward to the Batman: Arkham Asylum game. Now I’m tempted to upgrade my graphics card. Check out MSI’s N260GTX-T2D896 Batman: Arkham Asylum Edition. It features a Harley Quinn image directly on the card and of course, the game itself. It features the NVIDIA GTX260 GPU and 896MB of 448-bit GDDR3 high-performance memory, so the game will look and play awesome.

This limited edition card is available in just 1600 pieces for release. It will be available exclusively in Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and some countries in South East Asia.

Last week it was a Toys R Us ad showing the Wii for a Wii-diculous $199. Now a Best Buy ad showing off the same price has surfaced. It could be phoshopped, we’ll just have to wait and see.

But given the recent drop in demand for the system, along with the fact that the PS3 and Xbox have both had price cuts, it seems like we are glimpsing the not so distant future. What’s $50 to Nintendo? They’re making a ton of money on Wiimotes alone.

Folks in Belgium will soon be invaded by a new pink menace; the new Samsung E2210 and Star Hello Kitty edition. At that time all of their teen girls will be enslaved into the Hello Kitty cult. The Earth will turn pink as they hold their phones skyward and send the signal that will summon their alien/cat master. And then she will come. God help us all.

The E2210 will retail for $100 and comes in a white and pink theme. The touchscreen-enabled Star comes in a similar color combination, it just has a higher €169 price tag. Specifications and features of both handsets remain the same.

LG just unveiled its first small desktop computer dubbed the XPION X30. It’s powered by the NVIDIA ION graphics chipset which can easily handle HD video playback as well as graphically demanding applications, even running on an Intel Atom 230 1.6GHz processor.

Along for the ride are 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. It’s powered by Windows Vista, but will likely come with Windows 7 very shortly. No word on price just yet.

I love my iPhone, but if I am to be honest, the camera sucks. In fact, I never use the camera because I can’t take a decent picture with it. I know some folks who use the iPhone cam all the time; I just don’t like the image quality. Perhaps what I need is a tripod for the iPhone.

Mobile Mechatronics has announced the Blur iPhone tripod adapter and tripod. The Blur system includes an adapter that fits onto a tripod and holds the iPhone for taking pics that are less blurry. The kit also includes a small tabletop tripod as well.

What do you do if you have to wear a tie to work, which is bad enough, and your boss is a wanker and won’t let you listen to your iPod in the office? What you need is this nifty Thomas Pink tie with the hidden iPod compartment.

The tie is called the Commuter tie and has a special compartment behind the tie that holds your iPod nano securely. The tie itself is 100% silk and should look good enough on you in the office. Pink designed the tie to fit the new iPod nano, but I would assume any player of similar dimensions would fit.

The problem with most of the DSLR cameras that have been introduced recently is that they are either very expensive and high-end or they are budget offerings that lack the features most want. Pentax has announced a new entry-level DSLR called the K-x that has lots of features at a good price.

The K-x comes in red, blue, white, or black colors, and the red looks fantastic. The cam has 12.4-megapixel resolution with sensor-shift shake reduction for both still shots and video. Yeah, the camera can shoot 720p HD video at 24 frames per second using any Pentax lens.

The Furot II was unveiled last week and it’s no surprise that it will be competing with the Roomba, trying to get it’s share of that robo-vac market. It features a built-in camera to help it avoid obstacles while keeping your floor clean. The camera also allows the Furot to be aware of its location so it never goes to the same area twice unless it is needed.

The battery will give you 90 minutes of cleaning time and if it goes beyond that, the Furot II has a memory, so you can recharge it and the Furot will pick up where it left off.
