Built with the blue-laser diode of a dismantled Casio Green Slim projector, the $200 Spyder III is the world’s most powerful portable laser. It can make you the most powerful Jedi ever. If it doesn’t permanently blind. It will set your skin, or anything else on fire almost instantly.

Yes, this is no laser toy. This thing can kill. The diodes in Casio’s new mercury-free Green Slim projectors apparently allow for unprecedentedly powerful portable lasers, and Wicked Lasers is more than happy to use them for the 1 Watt Spyder III. The blue Spyder III laser is 2000 times brighter to the human eye, compared to their $2000 Sonar and this one is only $200.

Drift Innovation’s HD170 is an attractive helmet cam. It boasts a tiny 1.5-inch color LCD and built-in speaker. An adjustable lens should give you more freedom in how you attach it, too. Priced at $329, it’s a good deal with the other specs.

Like 30fps, H.264 compression, 5 megapixel stills, 1110 mAh battery, up to 32GB SDHC card. If you’re looking for a helmet cam for your crazy stunts, this one is worth a serious look.

I have talked before about the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD protective films. I have used these films on all of my iPhones since the device launched and it does a great job of protecting the screen and body of the phone without having to worry about scratches.

The only downside to the film is that the extra grip it gives the body of the iPhone makes it hard to use the device in a case that fits snugly. ZAGG has announced that it has the film available for the iPhone 4.

Usually when I see a short throw projector, you still need a good six feet or so to get a reasonably large image size on your screen or wall. That’s fine and good in some instances, but if you have a really small room you might want even shorter throw.

Vivitek has a new projector that makes those other short throw units look bad. The projector is called the D795WT and the little beastie can toss a 95-inch image on the screen from only 1.3-feet away. In addition to the short throw, the projector is also 3D ready.

Asus has pulled the wraps off a new Eee netbook that is a bit different from the hoards of other netbooks that the company offers. The machine has a larger screen and gets its CPU from AMD, which isn’t common in the netbook realm.

The CPU inside the Eee 1201K netbook is a new AMD Geode CPU. The machine also sports a large by netbook standards 12.1-inch LCD with a 1366 x 768 resolution. The rig has a scant 1GB of DDR1 RAM.

Some new images of the upcoming Nokia C7 have leaked, giving us a decent look at this Nokia device. We still don’t have details, but we hear that it will feature an 8-megapixel camera with dual-flash.

Some other likely specs include a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, face detection, multi-touch display, stereo speakers and this device could just be powered by the Symbian^3 OS. We have no idea if this will be a hit when released, but judging by the picture, it looks pretty interesting.

For a long time the only option for storing data inside computer was a traditional HDD with spinning palters. SSDs came along and used flash storage that needed no spinning platters and offered more speed. People are now starting to move to SSDs rather than HDDs in force with the price of SSD storage becoming down.

Addonics has announced a couple new ways to get solid-state storage in your notebook or desktop computer with two new CFast adapters. The first adapter is the CFast HDD adapter that lets users put either 8GB CFast or 32GB CFast cards inside the machine. The HDD adapter is a direct replacement for a 2.5-inch drive in a desktop or notebook computer.

Panasonic has another rugged notebook in its Toughbook line with the Panasonic Toughbook F9. According to Panasonic the Toughbook F9 is the worlds lightest 14 inch rugged notebook. The notebook features a 14.1 inch widescreen LED backlit display with a resolution of 1440 x 900, an Intel Core i5 520M 2.4GHz processor and 2GB of DDR3 RAM which can be upgraded to 6GB.

Some other specs include a 320GB hard drive, a DVD Super Multi Drive, integrated 802.11 a.b.g.n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and optional WiMax and optional integrated WWANB.

When it comes to gadgets and electronics there are few things that we don’t want more of. We always want more performance, more bandwidth, and more battery life. Trendnet has announced that its latest router offering more wireless bandwidth than other devices on the market is now ready to ship.

The router is the TEW-691GR and it is designed to provide 450Mbps of theoretical wireless bandwidth. To get that level of performance Trendnet uses three antennas that each broadcast three spatial streams per antenna on 2.4GHz spectrum.

This kind of issue is becoming more common, sadly. Olympus has issued a warning to those who recently purchased the Stylus Tough 6010 shockproof and waterproof camera. About 1700 of these cameras shipped with malware on its internal XD cards.

The camera itself is fine, but the malware on the XD card uses the autorun feature on your PC to launch itself and possibly infect your computer. If you are unsure whether you have an affected camera, you can enter the serial number on the company’s website. (Which is Japanese)

Now you can hang out in the pool without worrying about killing your Kindle. M-Edge’s Guardian case will protect your Kindle from water. It’s expensive at $80, but you are protecting a $260 ereader, so it’s worth it.

Wired has reviewed it and they seem to think it’s worth the money, but there are some issues. For one, there’s no access to the power button, and it’s also pretty heavy at 484grams. If those things are okay with you, it comes in black, red and blue.

We weren’t sure what to expect from a Rock Band 3 keyboard. Would it be just a keyboard shaped box with colored buttons or something closer to an actual keyboard? Well, it looks like the keyboard has the usual white and black keys, with a row of colored labels above them.

How narrowly you have to hit the “real” key for the note in the song is based the difficulty level you select. In the easier levels you just have to be in the vicinity of the correctly colored area. The keyboard is also designed to work either on a lap or strapped over a shoulder.

The MI-SPORT MP3 Player Headphones are waterproof and wireless headphones that are great for using when working out or just being out in the rain. They feature a fully integrated waterproof MP3 player. You can use it while swimming or hanging out by the pool, knowing they will be safe from water.

The headset includes waterproof soft sponge earplugs made to be worn underneath the headphones, that will block water out but allow sound in. The controls are on the exterior and your album text or personalized playlist is read and voiced back to you, in either a male of female voice or even a different language.

That’s right, we have more cases for the iPhone 4. Case-Mate is next in line to launch their iPhone 4 Cases. These are definitely eye-popping cases. They make cases for the iPhone 3Gs and BlackBerry and now they will be available for the iPhone 4 with the iPhone 4 Artist Series Original Cases.

You can design your own custom iPhone 4 case with art from several world-renowned artists. The cases will be available soon to customize any way you want for $39.99.

The design on the new iPhone 4 is beautiful, but maybe you want something more natural looking. If so then check out these new bamboo cases for the iPhone 4 from Grove Made. This case is available in a plain version, or in some versions with laser engraving.
