The Netronix PocketBook 602 e-book reader has been approved by the FCC, like a freshly born child smacked on the butt and sent on it’s way. That means that this eReader will be available in the US market very soon.

The device features a 6-inch e-Ink display with a 532MHz Freescale ARM11 processor, optional Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G/3.5G wireless data and a customized Linux OS. The Netronix PocketBook 602 also supports PDF, ePUB, FB2, HTML, TXT, PRC, MOBI, RTF, DOC, JPG, and MP3 file formats. It looks pretty good in black.

Those crafty folks over at Tokyoflash have yet another weird watch in the Traffic Watch. This one uses three map routes to display the time. The hours are displayed as the city streets marked in blue, while 5 minute intervals are shown along the subway line. The single minutes are shown in green.

There is also an optional night mode animation between 6pm to midnight. It can be recharged via USB, and will last for roughly a month on a 3.5 hour charge. The battery is good for up to 300 charge cycles, and can be replaced when needed.

Razer debuted the Lachesis gaming mouse back in 2007 and the first iteration of the rodent had 4000dpi sensitivity. For its day, the Lachesis was one of the most sensitive mice you could buy. Today that 4000dpi mark isn’t that big of a deal.

Razer has announced that it has updated the Lachesis gaming mouse with a new design and a new sensor. The 3.5G laser sensor from Razer supports up to 5600dpi and the mouse has customizable lighting.

Huawei recently introduced its latest mobile hotspot, the E583c. This device is good looking in a silver and black color scheme. It features a 1-inch color OLED display that shows the status information you need.

The Huawei E583 Mobile Hotspot supports a 3.5G HSPA connection with up to five devices over Wi-Fi and a sixth via direct USB connection. It plays nice with Microsoft Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Another feature is the included microSD card slot (up to 32GB).

I would not think that someone who had $100k to drop on a suborbital space flight would quibble much about an extra few grand or even an extra hundred grand. The folks with the disposable income to take a joy ride into space probably don’t think twice about that kind of money.

A company called Xtraordinary Adventures has announced that it is pre-booking suborbital space flights on its reusable Lynx spacecraft for $95,000. The company points out that its price is $7000 less than Space Adventures and $100,000 less than Virgin Galactic’s price.

Samsung’s Galaxy S was originally only able to do video out using a 3.5mm audio jack, which is fine, but not if you want to output high-resolution videos. But now Samsung has introduced a Micro USB to HDMI cable that should make viewing videos from your Galaxy S on your HDTV much easier. We didn’t know that was possible, but we’re game.

The cable will cost $50 and will be compatible with Galaxy S phones like the Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Captivate from T-Mobile and AT&T.

If you are looking for a new radio, Amazon has started selling the Boston Acoustics Solo II which features an AM/FM tuner with 20 AM/FM station presets. It’s a high performance 3.5-inch full-range speaker with BassTrac audio processing for rich, clean bass all around.

There’s also an auxiliary input for your iPod and other portable media devices. The rotating clock face lets you place it just about anywhere as well.

Samsung is now shipping the Spinpoint MT2, a 2.5-inch 1TB internal hard drive for use with mobile applications and set top boxes (DVRs, Digital TVs etc.), where you want your drives to run quiet and cool. The drive only runs at 5400 rpm, which is typical for such high-capacity drives. It uses Samsung’s proprietary SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies.

This drive should be fast enough for an HD digital video recorder and is likely to be much quieter than a 3.5″ disk. No word yet on price, but it should start making the rounds soon.

I am starting more and more to appreciate small form factor computers. Not only do they take less space, but they are often quieter as well. SilverStone has unveiled a new PC case called the Sugo SG07 that is designed for Mini-ITX mainboards.

The case ships with a 600W PSU that is 80 Plus Bronze certified and has a single 12V rail. The case has a 180mm fan, which is larger than the mainboard the case is designed for.

Looking for a media streamer? Buffalo’s new LT-V100 Link Theater might be the one for you. It offers HDMI and composite video plus optical as well as 3.5mm audio outputs, and it can manage 1080p when streaming content either over Ethernet or pulling it right from USB-based storage.

The device can play anything from RealVideo to Matroska, with MPEG, WMV, and Xvid. It also handles images and plenty of audio formats. It’s available this month for ¥11,500, which is about $130, if you are in Japan.

Chinese-based company Chile is showing off their latest Android tablet, the T7-3G. This one is powered by a 720MHz ARM11 processor and features a 7-inch 800 x 600 resistive touchscreen display, 256MB RAM, 2GB of storage space, an SDHC card slot (up to 32GB), web browser, 1080p Full HD video playback support, 3G, WiFi, a USB 2.0 port, a 3.5mm headset jack and it runs Android 2.1 OS.

There’s also a 4500 mAh battery and an integrated accelerometer so that the screen rotates automatically when you change the orientation of the device. Nothing on pricing and availability yet.

I bet there are many geeks out there who played with Silly Putty as a kid. You remember the stuff you could stretch it, tear it, bounce it and more. Vat19 has a new kind of putty called Magnetic Thinking Putty.

This stuff is very similar to Silly Putty in that you can shape it and bounce it. The big difference is that the Magnetic Thinking Putty has millions of tiny magnets inside the putty and you can make the putty stretch and dance using a powerful cube magnet that is included.

I don’t get the whole Paul Frank thing myself, but apparently many of you like to buy things with a monkey on them. Paul Frank has dabbled in the iPod/iPhone case market and even headphones, but now there is an iPod Dock.

It’s in the shape of Julius of course and is called the Julius Dance Machine. In between the monkey’s hands is the iPod dock in a cradle and according the the specs it will work with all generations of iPod’s. Not sure about iPhones. He will give you about 6 hours on single charge.

Who would have guessed that you could pump video out of a 3.5mm headset jack? The recently released Galaxy S has been confirmed to offer video out through its 3.5mm headset jack. The international version of the Samsung Galaxy S comes with a TV out option that is built into the display settings, allowing you to pick your TV type (PAL or NTSC).

But you will need the appropriate cable to go from the 3.5mm jack to the standard AV ports on your TV. This mirrors the handset’s display on the TV in real time. We hope the US versions of the Galaxy S will come with this feature, but who knows.

The ZTE X850 is the first Android-powered handset from ZTE and will target the entry-level market instead of the high end like most of the recent Android phones. The specifications aren’t too bad, except for the small 2.8″ 320 × 240 resolution touchscreen display.

It’s powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor with 3D hardware acceleration, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an integrated FM radio. The ZTE X850 packs Android 2.1 and supports WCDMA radio. It will be sold by China Unicom in China.
