Star Trek merchandising is only surpassed by Star Wars merchandising. Well, here’s the latest Merchandising Trek. The new film is being released on individually numbered 4GB Starfleet insignia USB drives. Yes, I too just heard ten million geeks sigh.

The drive is loaded with DRM, but you can run it on 5 registered devices and burn it to DVD, so that’s not too bad. It will cost you $29. Not sure what that amounts to in Starfleet credits, but it seems like an okay deal.

You own an exercise bike. You also own a Wii. Why not put them together and save some space in your home? Why not indeed. The Cyberbike is being developed by Bigben Interactive and comes bundled with some hippie game where you have to clean up the planet with your pedalling power.

It’s also compatible with Mario Kart, though I’m guessing you will have a hard time keeping up on that game. The bike is scheduled for a January release in Europe, but we don’t have any pricing details yet. Our guess is that it won’t cost much and will break down pretty quickly.

Germs. They’re everywhere. They make us sick. So we don’t blame you if you’re overly worried about the little buggers and find yourself washing your keyboard. What concerns us is that you do it ten times a day. Get a grip man.

Vioguard’s new UVKB50 self-sanitizing keyboard should help you feel better about the cleanliness of your keyboard. It sports a proximity detector which lets the freshly sanitized keys slide out for your use. It slides back in once you are done, to get sterilized with anti-bacterial ultraviolet light.

One of the big improvements of the iPhone 3G and 3GS compared to the original iPhone was the inclusion of GPS allowing for navigation capabilities in the device. The problem is that the iPhone GPS receiver is prone to having issues at times if you are near large trees or tall buildings.

TomTom has announced that its Car Kit for iPhone is now available for users to purchase in Europe. The kit includes a secure mount dock that charges and holds the iPhone while it works as a PND. The dock allows the iPhone to be in portrait or landscape mode.

Netbooks have been very popular since they launched and the economy went bad. Many consumers are finding the low price point of the typical netbook to be hard to pass up. As sales of netbooks soar, overall revenues in the notebook category are slipping.

Research firm DisplaySearch has released its latest numbers for the notebook and netbook category and the value of the notebook PC market as a whole was $26.4 billion, up 10% quarter over quarter, but down 5% year over year. The netbook segment was the biggest growth category with an increase from last quarter of 37% and a year over year increase of 264%.

Iomega has a full line of network attached storage products that it offers. The company has recently added a new version to its line called the StorCenter ix2-200 with dual removable drive bays. The device is aimed at the home office and small office user.

Iomega offers the device in 2TB capacity right now for $369.99. A 4TB version is coming soon at $699.99 and a 1TB edition is available now for $269.99. All versions have the same compact form factor designed to sit on your desk without taking up much space.

HP has had its cool Envy 15 notebook on the market for a while now. The machine is aimed directly at the MacBook Pro. HP has now launched a new limited edition Envy 15 Beats notebook that is aimed at the aspiring DJ or audiophile looking for a notebook with good sound quality.

The machine has specs similar to the other Envy 15 notebooks including quad-core Core i7 CPUs. Two 15.6-inch screen options and an integrated Nightvision webcam. An optional battery provides seven hours of run time per charge.

Asus seems to always be adding new netbook models to its lineup. The machines are available with all manner of configurations and screen sizes. Two more Eee netbooks were leaked today called the Eee 1201N and the Eee 1201HA.

The two machines are very similar and both have 12.1-inch 1366 x 768 resolution screens, Windows 7 Home Premium, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connectivity built-in. The 1201N also sports a Intel Atom N330 dual-core CPU, 3GB of RAM and graphics via NVIDIA Ion. Storage is to a 320GB HDD.

SanDisk sent us a complimentary Sansa Clip+ to check out. After using it for several days, we’re ready to share our thoughts on the device. The original Sansa Clip has been a popular choice where cheap mp3 players are concerned and the Sansa Clip+ is even better.

The design beats the original, with a larger capacity and better features. The first thing that you notice is how durable this thing is. Despite it’s tiny size, it looks and feels tough. It’s definitely more durable than your average mp3 player. And it feels natural in your hand.

The Archos 5 Internet Tablet has been available for just a couple of days, but now Amazon has stopped all orders for the 160GB hard drive-based Archos 5 device, placing the item “under review.”

Amazon says that “customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item”. This is not good news for Archos. However, the 32GB flash-based version is still available for pre-order. Hopefully the issues, whatever they are, can be fixed quickly.

Here’s something that’s sure to make geeks everywhere happy. Dark Horse Comics and GelaSkins have teamed up for a line of products that will have geeks staring at their Apple devices more than they already do now.

Hellboy, Buffy and some other Dark Horse comic images are now available in GelaSkin form. If the likes of Buffy and Hellboy isn’t quite your taste, there’s even some Bettie Page. iPhone skins will cost you $15 while 13 and 15-inch Macbook/general laptop skins will cost $30.

Your choice of e-reader devices continues to grow rapidly. And now LG is showing off its Solar Cell e-Book reader. The prototype has an energy conversion efficiency of about 9.6 percent. That means that it gives you an extra day’s worth of power to continue reading on that 6-inch TFT-LCD after four to five hours in the sun.

LG is working on getting that solar cell energy conversion efficiency rate to 12% by 2010 or up to 14% by 2012. Great news for bookworms, not so great if you have to read for your homework.

This device may have the look of a child’s toy, but it can come in very handy. At any given intersection it will let you know if its being monitored by a red light camera or a speed trap. Like I said, very handy. The 1.6″ OLED display shows your car’s current location and alerts you to presence of a red light camera based upon an internal database of 6,000 red light and speed camera locations.

It will notify you using either audio or visual alerts. The database can even be updated by connecting it to your computer and downloading them for free for a year. After that it’s $19.95 per month.

Your current game controller is probably a little boring. Why not spice things up with this Warrior USB Joypad? Channel your inner warrior and use his power to conquer your foes, while trying to forget how uncomfortable this thing is.

The warriors eyes light up and it will vibrate with compatible games. It’s compatible with USB, PlayStation PS3 and PS2. To me, this thing looks like a bat with a Samurai head. I think they may have created a new superhero.

Emerge Technologies just dropped its latest retractable universal notebook charger dubbed the ReTrak. If you carry a lot of devices with you, this will come in very handy. It’s designed specifically for those on the go and aims to make your life easier.
